You bet! The horror story will be the third story in the Brothers Found verse! It’s gonna be a ride and a half for poor extra smol Jake!
Month: March 2017
Considering the amount of asks we get about Castiel, I’m going to point you towards the FAQ we have.
I’m not sure if Crowley will ever be appearing in BA, but he is a fun character on the show, so it’s certainly a possibility!
March 16th excerpt:
Bowman fluttered up in front of the hunter to pass him on the way to his spot above the radio, the tip of a wing just barely brushing the front of the thick jacket Dean always wore. Best to do that before Dean was moving the Impala, as he knew the human would gripe at him for being a distraction.
He sat down on the dashboard with a huff, only twitching a little as the the Impala roared to life again. “It was cold in there,” he complained, quite glad to have left the strangely fake bright lights of that store. What little light had leaked into his pocket hiding place had fallen on his wings and provided none of the warmth it promised.
We won’t announce the story name when we post excerpts, and we won’t say which stories are from which AUs, but we do put a tag on each excerpt that points to the name for when the polls come out (unless it was written before we started excerpts, there’s still a few stories that were never excerpted).
If anyone is up for playing, we can always make a game of it. If anyone guesses the name of the story using the abbreviation, we’ll confirm if they got it right or not. We still won’t announce officially which AU it’s from, but you’ll have the name and be one step closer.
Which means that I can confirm that the anon who guessed that #jiw stood for Jacob in Wonderland got it right! Jacob’s going on a trip to Wonderland he’ll never forget…
A bit more on tags:
#trnt here is the abbreviation of the story the excerpt came from– later revealed to be “The Road Not Taken”

The last kind of tag you’ll see is the queue tag:
All this means is it is a reblogged excerpt from 2016, you can go to the original post to find out its tags.
This has been a dissertation on tags!
March 15th excerpt:
The man nodded at the rack behind Dean. “I always say you can’t go wrong with Casa Erotica.”
“Thanks, but I’m good,” Dean said, impatiently waiting for his total. He wanted to get back to the room with his friends and time was wasting. He didn’t need any recommendations from a random stranger.
“That’ll be twenty-five sixty-seven,” the man announced, hitting one last key on his register. “Cash or charge?”
That wasn’t a hard question for Dean. Since he spent so much time in the town near Bowman’s forest, he did his best to stick with untraceable methods of payment. Cash whenever possible. “Cash,” he replied with a wry grin, fumbling in his pocket for the money.
There’s multiple tiny!Jacob’s, but if you mean the story with the extra smol Jacob, it’s our horror story! We have excerpts posting for it now, and it’ll be appearing in the poll before long. Check out all the past posts about it:
Aa, happy birthday! Hope you’re either far from the blizzard or safe and warm on your birthday!
There’s not much difference between the Winchesters in the AUs. They often forget about celebrations, occasionally remembering to celebrate one or two. Jacob often ends up being the one to prod them into having a good time, especially when he’s making sure Sam or Oscar get to experience the good side of the human world.
March 14th excerpt:
Sam remained curled against his neck, a sharp eye on their surroundings. He continued to be amazed at the world passing by so speedily. After years of being trapped in one place, he might never stop being awed at how much freedom he had with Dean. All he had to do was speak up and Dean would change the direction of the Impala.
Bowman looked like he was finally adjusting to riding in a car. His wings shifted a bit in the movement as Dean turned the car into the Gas ‘n’ Sip parking lot, the sunlight sending patterns across his wings in bright ripples through the glass window.
“Alright guys, pocket time,” Dean said quietly. He parked in a corner of the lot, away from any other cars so that no one would see the sprite flitting around inside. “Everyone needs to be hidden.”
We’re glad to have you along! BC will be a fun ride for everyone.
Just remember– All canon characters start out as OCs, and the OCs in the various Brothers Apart verses are all considered canon characters for that series. They’re not going anywhere anytime soon, and you’ll be seeing more than a few OCs in Brothers Consulted once the story really gets going.
March 13th excerpt:
Dean pulled out of the forest. His stomach grumbled at him, reminding him that none of them had eaten lunch aside from Jacob, who was currently regretting the fact that he had. “I’m gonna run in to the Gas ‘n Sip down the road from the motel,” he announced to the car at large, knowing everyone could hear him fine. “We should pick up some snacks and grab some beers for the night. It might help take the edge off.”
The last time he’d been around, they’d had reheatable meals. He could grab a burger and some fries, probably some apple sticks for the sprite. Something to help cheer Jacob up, maybe…
