This is an awesome little look into Amy's past. The dialogue's great and for some reason I kind of love the idea of her growing up on a farm. It's unexpected and therefore fascinating.

Wonderful little ficlet!

Thanks! Glad you like it. I think what sparked the thought was the idea that Abbey used to babysit for Amy when she was younger. Somehow she ended up on a farm. But I like the idea of her being produced, more or less, in an environment that you wouldn't expect to turn out a woman like her. Sometimes the most ardent advocates of more "liberal" causes manifest because they were repressed for so long in an environment that never approved of them. Plus I like the image of her, exercising her freedom in whatever way she could, on a farm. It's kind of...I don't know, fun for me to think of. Anyway, it made sense in my brain. =)

hee. Still love this. Too too cute. I don't think I would have picked Amy as a farm girl on my own, but somehow it works, lol. Nicely done.

Thank you. :)

I'm really happy you do. <3 I think what sparked the thought was the idea that Abbey used to babysit for Amy when she was younger. Somehow she ended up on a farm.

Anyway, it made sense in my brain. =) And I'm glad it's at least, you know, plausible. ;)

You're very, very welcome. <3

Oh, I like this one, and not usually into Amy/Josh fic. Very nice. :-)

Thank you! I appreciate that. (We'll get you into Amy, Amy/Josh yet.)

I still think this is so fantastic. And so much of this screams Amy, down to the last detail. Especially the last two paragraphs. That just seems so Amy.

Thanks. <3 It make sense in my head, but I'm glad it was plausible to others. =) Appreciate the lovely comment a lot. Thanks again.

That was delightful (and, like at least one other commenter, I'm not usually an Amy fan...)!

One of the things I admire about Amy is her independence, and I *love* the idea that she started on a farm and ended up where she ended up. It smacks of independence and willfulness!

Thank you very much. ♥ I'm really glad you think that. Sometimes I think the most fiercely independent people, with her kind of strong, almost stubborn will, come out of environments that tried to repress them or didn't nurture them in that way. I think the kind of environment people face on a farm like that, in that sort of community, would make her feel even more determined along the way while giving her general skills to go it on her own. Not sure if that makes sense, but anyway, I'm glad you can see it as a plausible beginning for her. =)
