Nice guess! Not quite yet, but I think we’re closing in on it!
It’s a much easier name to guess than #aol 😉

Chase In Lilliput – Birthday Party
Happy Birthday, Jacob Andris!
August 27th is the specific day, but since I didn’t want to deal with whether or not the Lilliputian calendar is the same, I handwaved it a bit here. My boy is getting older; I’m really proud of how far the character has come since I first created him. He’s seen some crazy adventures in his original story as well as the many AUs I’ve tossed him into. I decided to use this cute AU to give him a nice birthday, since a lot of the other stories can get kinda sad for him at times. This one is all cutes.
Jacob relaxed against a hillside outside a miniature city. No matter how long it had been since he’d washed up on the shores of Lilliput, no matter how many times people insisted he was the giant there, he couldn’t help but think of it that way. To him, Lilliput and its denizens were tiny, all barely the size of a finger compared to him. He couldn’t even fit a hand in the doors of their homes (not that he’d tried that more than once).
He’d already been scolded once or twice by the people in charge. He wasn’t supposed to wander into the city itself without a chaperone, and even then only in less crowded areas. Since they were active all the time, those times were very rare.
In the back of his mind, Jacob was aware that he could go into town whenever he wanted. He could use their many roads as a footpath to any destination within the city. They couldn’t stop him from doing so.
He didn’t want to make them see him that way.
He’d been accepted in Lilliput. Considering how easily they could have sent him away, or worse, attacked him, he wanted to stay on their good side. As much as he could, anyway.
When the 2 regular Winchesters and giant Jacob arrive at the Lounge (that is going to be entertaining), will the others start bombarding questions on how Dean managed to save Sam, and himself, from the witch? I can already imagine the confusion
Lol!
In the actual story they might not. Part of the ‘protective’ enchantment over the place is everyone can sense certain details about the others, so they automatically know which Sam is their Sam or that this Dean is actually Dean.
(That way none of the Deans tries shooting up the place when he finds it full of ten other hims)
But it would be pretty funny to find themselves beset by a bunch of guys wondering how the hell, when the truth is they just never encountered Celeste or stayed at that motel!
I was wondering, how do you think that Dean’s big brother instincts change from the show to each of his interactions with the different littles or when he’s a little himself? (Maybe not change so much as change how their expressed…)
It all depends on the little in question!
As far is Sam is concerned, he is ultra protective, but the first thing Sam will do is scold him for not giving him space or independence. Dean tends to take stuff like that to heart, so he’ll lay off (a little), and Sam won’t feel so stifled.
Of course, if you don’t tell Dean right off, he tends to get in habits, and might end up just casually picking you up and taking you wherever he is, as Jacob can well attest to in certain future AUs. Sam would be the first to tell him he shouldn’t let Dean get set in his ways!
As a little himself, he’s an incredibly fussy guy. He’ll lecture Sam for days if he gets himself picked on at school, and when Sam’s a smol Dean does his best to keep him away from danger. It’s a lot harder for the little guy, but he tries!
August 27th excerpt:
John started with the bacon, setting a small pan on the stovetop and placing on it two strips once it was hot. He almost put more on in consideration of his guests, but then he remembered that their portions would amount to crumbs compared to his own. He wouldn’t miss anything he took from his own meal if he gave it to the brothers.
While those sizzled in the background, John cracked a couple of eggs into a bowl and started mixing them up with a fork, meandering back to check on Sam. “Found ya some cherry tomatoes,” he reported warmly.
Sam brightened up, distracted from his wanderings on the table. “I love those!”
From the current guesses in the BA discord chatroom on story names, we haven’t yet had anyone quite get #aol or #rj, but we do know some of the words!

Only one word for each left!
Will we ever get more of bobby and borrowers? Like the ones in his backyard or any others he met?
Maybe!
I haven’t had a lot of time to work on side projects this summer with how busy things are, but there’s always the chance of a few side stories with them. Of course, there is the story of Bobby first meeting Walt available if you’re interested, and I’m always welcome to people writing stories in my ‘verse!
August 26th excerpt:
“How old are you, Sam?” John asked while he looked around for something to continue Sam’s path. With the kid so open with him, he allowed himself to indulge in the curious questions he hadn’t had time to ask the night before.
“Ten,” Sam answered offhandedly, distracted by his new surroundings. Then, corrected it to “Ten and a half.”
I caught myself reading through all the Lounge asks and got hit by all the feels <3<3<3 (I love that AU, can't you tell?) ~Sassy
The lounge is always so much fun to revisit! We’ve got a few more cute plans ahead, don’t you worry 😉
In the new (ish) story w tiny Dean and big Stan , I feel like Dean has anxiety and just general stress both in and out of the wazoo. Can you spare a exerpt when he isn’t stressing?
Dean is about 99% STRESS in most of Kept so far, so those excerpts would be pretty hard to find! 😂
In his defense, he has a lot to worry about! What if they don’t like him? What if they decide he’s too much work and send him back? And of course, Stan went and bought him without telling Nate first! What if Nate doesn’t like him??
