Well, since I don’t know what you’ve read I can’t tell you what you’ve missed, but I do recommend reading the ending chapters. There is a very pivotal chapter that happens after the fight with the lich, along with important developments between Sam and Dean.
The story isn’t going anywhere, and the next story that posts has no relation to A Lich of Sense, so there’s plenty of time to read it!
Truthfully, between the brothers, Dean is actually the one with any ounce of sewing skills. Mallory always took care of it for her tall boys, and Krissy helped get Sam a few new sets of clothing when he was last at Trails West.
On the other hand, Dean dealt with being a hunter on his own for years before he met back up with Sam. Clothing rarely comes with the number of pockets he uses, and he has to repair his clothing a lot from being on the job. Bobby was sure to make sure a young Dean knew his way about a needle, both with clothing and skin, while he was growing up, and no matter how much Dean bitched about it.
Fights depend on a number of things, including circumstances, moods, location, what’s happening… and sometimes it can be hard to predict what’s going to happen!
You might find it hard to believe, but for the most part, when I write, I simply design an idea in my head for a story, and then when I actually get to the parts I’m writing, the characters tend to do their own thing. So I don’t control when they get into fights most of the time. I can sorta see it coming, but there are cases, like with my character Walt, where it just happens.
He’s the first person where I’ve sat there going “pls pls don’t get yourself killed… that’s a hunter you just yelled at what even pls stop”
Nor are all fights rational…
“You son of a bitch!” Sam shouted at the top of his lungs. An eerie echo accompanied his voice, the vase distorting the sound waves before they reached Dean’s ears. “What did you do to my brother? He’d never do this to me, I know it!”
The echo of the same words hit Dean like a punch. “Sam…” His throat was dry and his voice hoarse. “It’s me. You’ve been with me all day, remember?” He was almost pleading by the end, wanting his little brother back.
Sam snarled angrily, punching the wall again. Any sign of his calm, collected demeanor was gone, washed away like a sandcastle when the tide came in. “Liar! ”
You’re all amazing… we’ve finally passed 200! Thank you everyone that’s come along for the fun ride with us, and we’ve got plenty of fun planned for the future!
Sam’s gonna go hide now… 200 is a lot of people to be watching him…

May 14th excerpt:
Jacob’s eyes flickered curiously to the laptop. He’d gotten it to help with hunting after Sam and Dean (with some help from Bobby Singer, a mentor to all of them) got him into fake credit cards. It opened up so many possibilities, but Jacob tried to keep things to a minimum while they were staying in his home, where his stepfather the cop was hanging around.
The laptop, however, was a must, and it had been pretty much claimed by the small brothers walking on it now.
Starting this Sunday at 9pm est, The Road Not Taken will begin posting, giving everyone their first look at one of our new AUs! We hope you’re all as excited about this as we are!
Saving people. Hunting things.
It was what they were supposed to do. Who they were supposed to be. Instead, that life was stolen from them by a witch and a curse in childhood, stripped away and replaced by one goal:
Survival.

Final count:
The Road Not Taken wins by a mere two votes! We never thought it would come down this close! Thanks everyone for voting, and don’t worry, fans of Family Ties and Chasing Family, they will be back when TRNT is over, along with new stories to muse over! And my bad. I don’t think I realized FT and CF were pretty much identical names.
I’ll count up the votes and announce the winner… after I’ve finished my dinner 😛

All the stories with Bowman and Jacob featured in them are crossovers with Fairy Tales: Bowman of Wellwood. It’s a great read for anyone looking for quality gt, and hopefully in the future these babies will be published! I recommend (I being @nightmares06).
For the other sprite-related asks sent in (that don’t relate to Brothers Apart or our AUs), check out @neonthewrite, where they will be posted.
I’m more likely to boil the potatoes in tears, tbh. Mashed potatoes are my fave, even compared to french fries. Mmm. But yes. I am much more angst when I get salty compared to Neon, which is why I aim to be mellow and avoid controversy, arguments or fights. I get more worked up than she does.
