Title: The First Day
Summary: Dean goes missing before his first day of school.
Characters: Sam, Dean, Lisa
Rating: PG
Wordcount: 1,931
Disclaimer: I'm still waiting on the permits...
Warnings: Enough schmoop to make your teeth rot in your head, and angst.
Neurotic Author's Note #1: I am dealing with some stress-induced writer's block, so I decided to write some self-indulgent schmoop.
Neurotic Author's Note #2: This is part of the Garden 'verse, so you'll want to read at least the first story if you want to know what's going on. If you don't want to read it, what you need to know is that Dean has been de-aged and is five years old right now, and Sam and Lisa have hooked up, making everything awkward.
Neurotic Author's Note #3: Also, I have Made Shit Up™ about some legal proceedings in this. Please don't hold it against me. ;)

( The First Day )

How many 'verses can I possibly have, you ask? AS MANY AS I WANT! :P

So this is the result of rainylemons's slightly deranged mind. She wanted de-aged!Dean living with Sam and Lisa and Ben, and then she requested Sam/Lisa and All Things Awkward™, and suddenly this little world popped into my head. The cat is all her fault, too. I think the 'verse is turning out schmoopier than she intended. ;)

Ratings and warnings will vary from story to story, but it's generally Sam/Lisa, with very little actual sex to speak of. Really, the story is about Sam and Dean and their epic love, even when their circumstances change. It's also a story about second chances for everyone.

Disclaimer: None of it is mine
Warnings: GIANT GOBS OF SCHMOOP. Please be on guard for spontaneous cases of diabetes and cavities.
Neurotic Author's Note #1: So instead of working on any at all of my writing commitments, I decided to write a new stand-alone in what I guess is now a 'verse. Maybe I'll call it the Garden 'verse, I don't know yet. This is set shortly after I Have Come Into My Garden. Y'all remember wee!Dean living with Sam and Lisa and Ben, and all the Sam/Lisa awkwardness? Yes? Okay, then.
Neurotic Author's Note #2: Unbeta'd. I don't even know.

Title: I Am Come Into My Garden
Summary: Six-year-old Dean brings home a mangy old alley cat, much to the dismay of Sam and Lisa, who are having a hard enough time coping with everything else that’s happened already.
Characters: Dean, Sam, Lisa, Ben
Rating: PG-13

Disclaimer: Playing in Sera’s sandbox. Not mine, please don’t sue.
Warnings: swearing, angst, de-aged!Dean, Highlight the text for a warning that will spoil the plot. There is sort-of-maybe background Sam/Lisa, but mostly it’s just awkward and they’re not really together (Yet. Ish.).
Neurotic Author's Note #1: Written for the Writing Between the Lines challenge at hoodie_time, for Prompt # 73 by rainylemons, whose prompts I apparently cannot resist.
Neurotic Author's Note #2: Oh my God, this STORY. I don’t even know, okay? It was supposed to be about wee!Dean and a cat, with maybe a little side of Sam and Lisa and All Things Awkward™, except that’s not exactly what happened. I don’t even know what to make of this weird, meandering thing, except that that’s how it turned out.
Neurotic Author's Note #3: It’s unbeta’d, but at least it has a happy ending, right? Please don’t hate me for the ending…
