Arrested Development 1/1

[beth_summer]

Summary: An AU story where Dean is at Stanford with Sam, relying on his brother to take care of him. Told from multiple outsider perspectives. A different take on the de-aging trope.

Rating: PG-13

Author's Note: Thanks to my beta skylar_matthews for collecting all my extra commas and convincing me this story was fit for the public.

Oh, that was a really cool take on the de-aging thing. This was great, funny and really, really tragic all at the same time.

[beth_summer]

Thanks! That was sort of the feel I was going for.

\O/ wow that was quite a different spin on the deaging tale and I really enjoyed it! Will you be writing any followups? :D

[beth_summer]

Thanks! I might possibly write a prequel or sequel. We'll have to see.

Ok... ok, lovely, funny and sad all at the same time. i really liked this. Sams committment and Deans determination to not be forgotten is lovely. Please right more to this it deserves more.

[beth_summer]

Thanks! I'll very possibly write more. I do have some ideas kicking around.

This was a different take on the trope as promised, and SO GOOD. Amusing and fun and the idea of Dean being stuck at that age physically but not mentally is horrible, but really interesting.

Also, there is this:

Sam jumped back as if he had been stung. “Never,” he spoke with odd intensity. “I’ll never get tired of being with Dean, do you understand, Jess? No matter what. Five, ten, freaking fifty years from now, I’ll still do whatever the hell Dean wants and love it because he’s my brother. Okay?”

Aw, thanks. That little speech of Sam's was one of the moments that inspired this fic.

Sweet and heartbreaking all at the same time. Well done.
We need a prequel *hint, hint*

Thanks! I will very possibly write a prequel. There'd be a lot of material, that's for sure.
