Ah, man, there’s just so many options. I’ll leave out the most obvious ones, since they tend to be canon pairings (Sam/Dean, John/Sherlock, Jacob/Bowman), and there’s some fun combos to be had!
Jacob/Sam– The quiet pair, both getting things done without so many impeding them. They need to look after their sassy counterparts, and know exactly what the other is going through. That being said, with Jacob so much younger than Sam, he looks up to Sam and admires him despite how Sam is so much smaller than he is most AUs, and this makes Sam puff up with pride for impressing the tallest human he’s ever met.
Dean/Bowman– Alot like Sherlock/Bowman, this pair has enough sass to end the world. We let them get into a loop of sass in at least one story, and had to find a way out without them just bickering to the end of time. Because, seriously, they would.
Oscar/Dean– Despite the odds, these two are an adorable pair. Dean usually scares the shit out of Oscar when they first meet, but when he gets past it, he’s going to be so proud, and Oscar gives him a good dose of perspective at how scary he can be to the small folk.
John/Sam– A lot like Jacob/Sam, these two are very chill, Sam looking up to the good doctor. Whether Sam’s tol or smol, he’d admire what John does every day, saving lives.
Dean/Sherlock– The world will implode from the sass.
Night is not exaggerating about those sassy pairs imploding the world though. Honest to God, we had a story with Bowman and Dean talking in circles for what was probably a chapter’s worth of sassing, and we opted to cut that down because they were getting ridiculous. I have no doubt that if Dean and Sherlock got started, they could do the same thing. Lessons have been learned. Things that should not be forgotten are immortalized in memory.
Oscar/Dean– I’m a huge fan of this too. They’re just such good buddies despite their beginnings (it’s something of a running joke in my own stories that Dean will grab Oscar at some point in each one). Dean is one of the scariest humans around just by being so intense, and yet Oscar warms up to him. It probably baffles anyone else who sees them. Can you imagine Bobby finding out that the most timid little he’s ever seen will just hang out with Dean Winchester, the guy even monsters are afraid of?
Sherlock/Bowman– We haven’t written anything for it yet, but musings have happened. They’d be such a funny pairing. Can you imagine Bowman fluttering around the ceiling of 221B or perching up on the curtains to yell at Sherlock? John would come back from groceries to Sherlock having a row with a flying plant person that fits in a pocket.
Jacob/Sam– Jacob and Sam are a pair near and dear to my heart. One of the earliest team-ups we imagined. They are both way too tol in proportion to Dean, and so they are dubbed Team Sasquatch. They get things done, and do not mess with them when they need to take care of their sassy counterparts. Do not.
Jacob/Oscar– The biggest and the littlest sweethearts. The cutes could go on and on.
Again, I haven’t had the honor of writing opposite @borrowedtimeandspace‘s take on the Baker Street Boys just yet, but I’d love to see how smol Jacob would fit in with them. There’ve been musings for that, too. 😉 Once we have a more solid plan, it’s only a matter of time.
Time is definitely something I wish I had more of ;w; So many ideas with all these characters, so many rl responsibilities getting in the way. Thank goodness for the internet and jotting down all the musings for later, because ONE DAY they will happen!
John/Jacob– smol Jacob especially would be cute to pair with my second-favorite doctor, but any iteration of either of them would just be chill and adorable.
Oscar/John– Similar to the above, but more along the lines of John doing his best to assure the lil guy that no one’s gonna hurt or trap him, not even Sherlock. All the tea and nibbles and cutes.
Oscar/Sherlock– And on the other hand… Regardless if Sherlock has already been ‘trained’ by smols, poor lil Oz would probably have a hard time interacting with the detective based on his intensity alone. Doesn’t help that Sherlock’s likely to poke if he doesn’t get a response right away. Unsupervised, I doubt much would get done between these two for a long time.
Sherlock/Bowman– I strongly agree that, if left to their own devices, these two would do little else but bicker and chase/avoid each other until the world collapsed around them. Help them.
And I pretty much agree 100% with John/Sam and Dean/Sherlock. All the cutes on one hand, all the sass in the other!
Have a question for us? Ask away! And don’t feel like it has to be just about the stories! We’re open to talk about anything!
