I really enjoyed this. What a clever idea. m :)

Thank you! It was really the only way I could think of to do a de-aged fic. I'm so glad you liked it!

This is an adorable fic. Dean and little Sammy are so cute together.
Also, I liked how Dean was with kids and how he thought he would never bring kids to this life. So Mary like.

[tifaching]

Thank you! Yeah, Dean's so wonderful with kids that it's sad to imagine him never having any. But with the life they lead...he saw what happened when Mary chanced it.

Wonderful, wonderful story. And a great ending. Bout broke my heart with that whole Jessica thing, though.

Thank you! I tried not to make the end such a downer, but it kind of had to be that way. If Sam was stuck in whatever mindset he'd been at the different ages, then not being at Stanford would throw him for a total loop.

I loved this so much. The curse of a thousand nos was brilliant - I love that you were able to bring Sam through so many ages. It was so sweet to see Dean with wee!Sam playing, reading and writing. Dean teasing tween!Sam was pitch perfect, and then Dean and John having to deal with Stanford!era!Sam AND his reaction to Jessica's death was so sad (but I love that John told Sam how proud he was). What a great way to answer a deaged prompt. Love, love, LOVE!

Wow, thank you! I had no idea what to do with a two year old Sam for a whole story's worth of time, so I had to come up with something! Once the curse came to me, the aging two years with each 100 followed right on its heels. I love Dean with kids and to have him get to relive Sam's childhood like this was a great opportunity. I haven't ever written a de-aged fic and probably never would have except for this prompt!

A very cleverly woven story. So refreshingly different and amusing. Sam was adorable as a child!

[tifaching]

Thank you so much! I'm thrilled that you found it different. I haven't read a lot of de-aging fics but the ones I have I've really enjoyed. I'm glad you found it amusing also. Coming up with different ways to get the no out of Sam was kind of harrowing!
