Yep, the second story is all about them finding Bowman!

It was actually the first story we wrote after finishing up A Lich of Sense, so we were still at the point in our writing where we were getting ideas like “But what if Jacob???”

It’s not quite canon Bowman, though, because he met Jacob after Jacob met Sam and Dean. In canon he’s known Jacob for much longer.


@neonthewrite

Yeah, Jacob finding Sam in Brothers Found definitely altered his own timeline with Bowman a little bit. At least it meant that there was no one to catch Bowman like in his canon story, thus leading to the domino effect of trouble finding Wellwood long before the lich did!

For making Jacob so little, though, we had to make sure he had his sprite buddy around.

@nightmares06

Aww! Lil Weechesters meeting their older counterparts! And if there’s a wee Sammers and Dean, there’s a wee lil Oz in the room too, looking out at all these people so nervously! Older smol Dean will have to coax his younger buddy out so he can get to know them all.

Wee lil Ozzie riding around on Spritely Sam’s shoulders like Vel does tho.

BT Sam will be running around to introduce himself to everyone, including John and Sherlock, since clearly they know his older (older) brother, they’ve gotta be nice guys, right? He wants to know everything about them and has a million questions saved up for when they’re around.


@borrowedtimeandspace

John would have absolutely no evens meeting kiddo versions of Sam and Dean, careful with every word and movement. It’s something special, to have trust and strong interest from such a small kid.

Sherlock, of course, would be fascinated right back, offering his own questions in return. He wonders about how much their personalities have and haven’t changed over the years they’ve been small, and meeting their kiddo selves would definitely be informative.


@neonthewrite

Aww jeez. Kiddo Oscar meeting versions of his Sam and Dean all grown up. He’d be so shy with everything going on, I can see him attaching himself to one of the Winchesters just so he has someone to hide behind. Y’know, just in case.

At least with him around, extra tiny Jacob would have someone a little closer to his height. Oscar finding himself actually taller than someone would be amusing, he’d have to show off to Dean!

@nightmares06

Too bad for Sherlock that Jacob usually leans towards listening to Dean, especially when he’s so stern about something! No one messes with or startles Dean’s Oz (except for Dean), so something clearly must be done here.


@borrowedtimeandspace

To be fair, it’s hard for Sherlock to not be intimidating to smols. He’s not the most sociable of human beings, and smols fascinate him so. Luckily he’s got John to vouch for him, if he feels his poor flatmate’s predicament isn’t quite equitable.


@neonthewrite

Jacob would probably be willing to listen to John, too. He’s the guy with the tea, after all. And Sherlock, at least, wouldn’t be in any danger from Jacob. He might get a poke or two, but giant Jacob is just as fascinated by these little guys as Sherlock is by the other smols. Everyone is fascinated!

Borrower Sam vs Dragon Dean.

This is some art for my fanfiction for Nightmares06′s contest for her wonderful Brothers Apart series. This story takes place in chapter 31 in my story, and in theirs its about a year after Sam and Dean reunite.

Sam’s back there like wtf are you guys doing now?
(I know Dean’s not wearing the bandages, I just wanted to see him top of his game here.)

All they have to do is ask! If it ever comes up in an AU, it seems like Sam is more likely to take interest in languages. Jacob would be happy to teach either of them a few phrases in Greek, since he’s quite proficient in it (when he’s home, calls from grandma are usually held in entirely Greek at her stubborn insistence).

Of course, I can also see Dean finding something written in ancient Greek and telling Jacob to take a stab at it. Jacob would have to explain that modern Greek has heavily evolved from its roots, just like English has.

John wouldn’t leave the poor kid feeling isolated, no matter how…much he is to take in at first. It’s easy to see how sweet the kid is, and once he’s over his jitters from being near someone so large, he’ll gladly offer the kid a cup of tea.

I’m sure we can imagine a cup of tea and a few biscuits to suit Jacob if we can imagine a room big enough to fit him and others with room to spare.

John would be proud to spend a bit of time with Jacob, show him that not everyone will think he’s so scary if given a proper introduction. Even if Sherlock continually prods him about what exactly made him so big.


@neonthewrite

Jacob would very much appreciate John’s efforts (and the tea). Some nice relaxation would be a welcome change from the running and screaming that giant!Jacob is used to. The two sweethearts can have a normal conversation despite Jacob being so huuuge.

He’d be amused by Sherlock’s prodding, if nothing else because Jacob himself has no answers for why he’s so big. He’d like to know just as much. If Sherlock can suss it out, he should tell Jacob before he tells anyone else, please.

@neonthewrite

Oh jeez. Should we count extra small Jacob as his own entity, even though he’s technically human Jacob temporarily shrunk down to the ittiest of the bittiest sizes? It’s definitely more fun that way if I’m honest (and he hates me whenever I muse about him being extra smol).

Oscar would probably be nervous around Sherlock’s brand of intensity that he’s always giving off. He’d have to curl up in a ball or possibly scurry off to hide if this hypothetical lounge has places for that. Maybe he’ll take teddy Jacob along, just to keep him safe.

Of course, if John offered tea, Oscar might be convinced to come out. Maybe. One of the Deans might have to help with the convincing.


@borrowedtimeandspace

John would certainly try to keep the peace with whoever he interacted with, especially if they’re smaller than him. A cup of tea or a shared biscuit would not be missed with him around.

Sherlock, of course, can hardly keep still. Not with, at any given time, a giant, a few smols, an extra-smol, and a sprite! Bowman would probably fascinate him more than any of them, he’d probably have much more to worry about than poor Oscar or wee Jake.


@nightmares06

Aa, a lounge for them all to chill in is just too cute. Human Sam bugging his smol counterparts, especially interested in spritely Sam’s wings, fascinated to see them at work, and excited when Sam’s willing to land on his hand and demonstrate.

The Deans would be in a corner bickering until one of their friends needs help. Then it’s off to scowl at Sherlock for making Oscar nervous.

March 26th excerpt:

Sam turned his attention to the relaxed sprite too, giving a partial smile at the sleepy demeanor. “So, still not a morning person?” Sam asked as brightly as he could fake, knowing that a happy-go-lucky attitude like that could piss off anyone that wasn’t a morning person. Needling Bowman would be a good distraction.

Bowman turned a tired, exasperated gaze in Sam’s direction. A bright tone like that was just too much. It shouldn’t be possible, this soon after waking, for him to even hear such nonsense. “No,” he answered simply, letting the blunt word carry sass with it rather than crafting more of an answer. It was too early for it.

Last day of Ask the Authors!

Did you ever have any questions for us? Send them in!

@nightmares06, @neonthebright and @borrowedtimeandspace eagerly await your questions! Feel free to ask whatever’s on your mind, and we’ll answer (at our discretion, nothing inappropriate) throughout the weekend, ending tonight.

Our doors will remain open afterwards, so don’t be shy! Hearing from you all, especially considering the AU lounge that came out of this weekend, makes our days a little brighter.
