spn_summergen The prompt was: John accidentally pisses off the wrong fairy, which causes the fairy to backlash and de-age Sam to the age of 2. Dean doesn't exactly know what's going on considering Sam was 22 the last time he checked. John has a lot of explaining to do. So, here is my version of what the Winchesters were doing between Dead Man's Blood and Salvation.
I want to give huge thanks and props to my wonderful betas-
embroiderama and
smidgeson who made this so much better than it would have been. Extra special cookies go to
embroiderama for making the fairy's curse way more awesome than my version was.
Summary: John annoys the wrong fairy and Sam ends up cursed. It's going to take some doing to get him back to himself again.
