Author's Note

If you are looking for the beginning, that actually begins on Chapter Two.

I don't normally make an author's note a separate chapter, but I felt the need to explain myself here. Given my age, I am not really part of the iCarly demographic. However, I was on a JetBlue flight from California to New York and I had the television tuned to Nickelodeon while I listened to my iPod. An episode of iCarly came on and I thought to myself, hey, didn't I see somewhere that those two characters actually start dating? When I got home, I googled it.

As you may know, I am a sucker for a bad boy/good girl relationship so I didn't really stand a chance against bad girl Sam and good boy Freddie. I started off watching numerous YouTube clips and fanvids before tracking down the full Seddie arc. Then I started reading fanfic. I highly recommend WhiteKnightro's 'iWTF' and Beast916's 'Tag, You're It' (please note that the latter is M for a reason). After that, I requested the season sets from my library. I am currently up to volume 3 of the Second Season (according to the dvds, as the iCarly wikia says I'm up to Season Three- I just watched iEnrage Gibby) and I noticed that, if you list the episodes by the production number, the character arcs make a little more sense. Then my plans for the evening fell through and I spent four hours writing these four character studies, which alternate between Freddie and Sam.

Spoilers

In my head, both 'Until: Freddie' and 'Until: Sam' start during the second season (or the third season, if you go by the wikia) and end with the the final scene of iOMG. In the beginning of 'Until: Sam,' I reference the bike messenger bit that she mentions in iDate Sam and Freddie. It's never established when exactly the incident took place so let's pretend it happens at the end of the second/third season.

'Three Days: Freddie' mostly happens just before he walks into Carly's apartment in iLost My Mind while 'Three Days: Sam' stretches over those missing three days, both pieces ending with the last scene of the episode. All four pieces reference, in passing, various events that occurred during Seasons 1-2/3.

'Stolen Moments: iLost My Mind' is a tag to the episode of the same name.

'Upheaval: Freddie' and 'Upheaval: Sam' occur during an unspecified time in iDate Sam and Freddie, and, as always, they end with the final scene of the episode. 'Stolen Moments: iDate Sam and Freddie' is a tag for the episode.

'Apex: Freddie' and 'Apex: Sam' occur at some point between the end of iDate Sam and Freddie and the scene where Mrs. Benson tells Freddie about his application in iCan't Take It. I also used bits of the relevant iCarly. com blogs as background. 'Stolen Moments: iCan't Take It' is a tag to the episode.

Rating Warning

This is rated T because Freddie is a teenaged boy. He is a lot more physically-minded than Sam and he drops a couple of 'f' bombs in 'Three Days: Freddie.' Things also get a bit heated in 'Stolen Moments: iLost My Mind.' Sam curses a bit in 'Upheaval: Sam.' Both 'Apex' POVs are definitely T, due to language and Freddie being all hormonal.

Status

I am not marking this complete yet because I honestly have no idea if I will write additional character studies for the remainder of the Seddie arc. At the moment, I feel like I've gotten it out of my system, but when I get to the Season Four dvds, I may decide differently. I recommend you follow this story if you'd be interested in reading more as I'd just add more chapters. It is highly unlikely that I will post another new iCarly fic unless the remaining episodes of Season 5/6 are particularly inspiring.

Edited 9/02/12: Apparently, I'll be adding Seddie orientated episode tags here as well. My muse be crazy, yo.

Edited 9/18/12: As of right now, I plan to write the three pieces (2 POVs & a tag) to iLove You. I may call in quits after that.
