Summary: Jared's whole world is turned upside-down when he wakes up to discover his beloved dogs have been taken by Captain Misha C. Hook in an attempt to get Jared back to Neverland. The problem is, Jared doesn't remember Neverland, or the fairy who shows up to take him back there. He doesn't remember the Lost Boys, or that he was once known as the PadaPan. In order to return home, Jared has to get his memories back, battle some pirates, rescue his dogs, and find a way to make things right with those he left behind.







This started out as something of a joke to amuse
rhythmsextion, who wanted fairy!Jensen. Then she said, "So you're writing this, right?" and I said, "Yes, I suppose I am."* Unfortunately, real life got in the way before I could get too far into the tale. Fairy!Jensen languished on my harddrive, the outlook for its completion bleak.
Then, while scrolling through my friendslist one day, I saw
maichan808 link to the
spn_cinema challenge, and
pounced quite flailingly upon her sent her a polite inquiry to see if she'd be interested in a collaboration. She said yes, thus providing me with the impetus to finish the story.
tl;dr version: I started this story as a shameless excuse to write fairy!Jensen and finished it as a shameless bid for amazing art. In these aims, if nothing else, I feel as though I have been successful.
* This is the genesis for a surprising number of my stories, actually.

rhythmsextion, who not only provided the initial inspiration for this story, but plotted it out with me over numerous emails, and pulled hand-holding and beta duty for it as well. I don't think I'd ever get anything done without her.
♥
elizardbits, for being a most excellent beta, and correcting my homophone mistakes with little-to-no mockery. Also, for being rad in everyday life, which has nothing to do with my story, I just appreciate it in general.
♥
maichan808, for ALL THE THINGS! For being so awesome and fun to work with, for doing such a thorough beta job, for helping me with all the formatting and coding, for creating a lovely PDF. Also, obviously, for doing such incredible artwork. *____* It has been
killing me not to be able to share!
