This was adorable! I loved it so much.

Thank you! I'm developing quite the soft spot for this storyline, as you can see. :)

meep! I had to go back and re-read the first installment, and you know, it's weird how much this 'verse makes perfect sense! Lovely heart-tugging stuff here!

Okay, I'm not the only one who thinks it makes weird sense then. Good. ;)

Glad you liked it!

Thank you!

I had to get up and make myself hot chocolate halfway through writing the fic. ;)

Generally I'm hit-or-miss on age-regression fics, but I tend to prefer it if there's acknowledgement of the events that have gone before--like Hell, and things of that nature. So this was nice in that it incorporated some of those things.

I microwaved a marshmallow once. It expanded to about 8 times its normal size. It was...an experience. c:

You're supposed to watch the marshmallow to make sure it doesn't expand too much. ;)

As for the age-regression thing... *hands* IDK. I can't bring myself to ever give the poor kid a "clean slate," because it feels like a cheap cop-out to me. Then again, small children don't have the same way of understanding things, so at least it puts a -buffer? Something?- between Dean and the worst of it all, and gives him a shot at normal, or something.

So I usually go the middle-of-the-road route: leave some/most of the memories there, but have the child be resilient enough to be happy anyway. In short, I tend to de-age Dean a fair bit (at least four times by my count), but always leave the memories of Hell there in some form or another.
