I had to get some figures from @wolfie180g for this, since Dragon!Dean is in their personal playground.
Let’s see… When Jacob’s a giant, he stands about 122 feet tall (19x his usual 6′5″).
Dragon Dean will end up reaching about 50 feet from the ground to his head. 30 feet tall in the chest (measured like a horse). Wingtip to wingtip, he’ll have a 130 foot wingspan.
So, compared to Jacob, Dean will be quite a bit smaller. He’s more like a wolf compared to the giant.
Noonia is an OC that I made a few years back, when I was writing one of my spn g/t stories (The Schism of Fire and Water from the @brothersapart universe ). She’s the life partner of a fire sprite, Ilyana, and lives in the realm of the sprites with her.
She only shows up a few times in that story, but I do have a follow-up story that will feature her a lot once it gets written. She’ll be making sure Ilyana’s newest incarnation doesn’t get into any trouble, and will be following that sprite (and their borrower buddy) around like a hawk.
For a dragon, she’s actually only a few inches big, so she’s just about big enough to carry a borrower on her back!
@justanothergiant actually helped redesign her for me, I’m a big fan of how she ended up looking!
Of course, if you have a dragon following you around, be sure not to ignore her too long…
Let me know if you want to hear more about her or anyone else!
Once he had a decent idea of the lay of the land, which changed quite often with Sherlock and John’s eclectic style of organization, Dean’s legs tensed.
Without any warning, he bolted for the entrance to the walls near John’s armchair.
Sorry for the slow activity on the tumblr page, let me just say life went and hit me with a bus for a bit!
Not only is work on mandatory overtime currently, I also had my car break down on the busiest highway in the state, and when my mechanic looked at it, he recommended just replacing it.
That car, which I haven’t even had for a full year.
So, needless to say, I was in a bit of a bind for a bit and had to throw myself fully into work. I still need money, but I do have a ‘new’ car to replace that one, and hopefully this time it’ll last.
Things will hopefully start to pick up a bit, and with any luck writing will as well, so with any luck excerpts will be starting back up, and I’ll try and take a look at some of these asks we’ve gotten in!
I love all you guys, it means a lot to have your support!
This year I didn’t get my energy in a row in time to do another Halloween costume contest for my shy little borrower Oscar. However! In late November there comes a time when lots of humans are inexplicably more preoccupied with food (and lots of it). Oscar doesn’t know where this “Thanksgiving” holiday comes from, but he can definitely attest that a Food Day is a Good Day.
What I’d like to see from entries is your take on Thanksgiving for the little guy. It can be art or writing, as long as it includes some indication that Thanksgiving is involved. This contest isn’t going to run for very long and is meant to be more relaxed, so submissions need not be super fancy. Don’t do an extravagant painting or a novella for it (unless you want to, I guess!).
The deadline is December 8 at 11pm Central Standard Time.
Rules
Must include Oscar having some Thanksgiving fun. What kinds of food would he be most drawn to? That’s up to you to imagine.
Other characters are allowed, but the submission won’t be judged based on any other characters
Keep it clean and respectful; Thanksgiving does not mean the same thing to everyone, and it carries its own issues. That said, for many it is about family gatherings and an excuse to eat good food, and that’s the sort of feeling I’d like this contest to take inspiration from. Oscar is all about the chance for a feast!
Prizes
Since it’s a short contest and it’s pretty chill, for now I have only a few prizes up for grabs. If I get a lot of entries, I can reconsider that and I’ll announce it as soon as I know.
I’m guessing most people who follow me know who Oscar is from at least one story, but just in case, here’s a link to a few example pictures. Let me know if you need links to other resources about him; there are lots of stories out there to choose from.

They didn’t have a turkey meal, but they managed to snitch some quick Chinese while driving. They ended up having a vengeful spirit to go after that only strikes on Black Friday, a security guard lost during the insanity one year who’s haunting his old job.
Everyone be safe this weekend! Workers and shoppers alike!
Originally prompted from this post. This is another update on what Oscar’s up to in the Brothers Together AU. In this short, he’s about 18 years old.
Oscar was almost ready to doze off, but he forced himself to stay alert. He couldn’t afford to let his guard down in such a precarious spot. Even now, the shadows on the nearest wall shifted and moved with the humans in the room, humans that were only steps away from his hiding place at the most.
He stood behind the TV, feeling the constant buzz of electricity while someone on the other side of it reported the weather for the afternoon. Dust piled up there, on the surface of the dresser where no one usually bothered to look. It gave Oscar a better view of the table nearby, but it wasn’t as safe.
He usually waited down on the floor, underneath the dresser. In all of the motel rooms, under the dresser was the safest place. He was out of sight, and even the maids never had occasion to look down there.
Today, though, was special. Even the humans kept it marked on all of their calendars.
Oscar didn’t understand what it meant or why they celebrated it, but Thanksgiving came without fail every late fall, and he’d learned to capitalize on it as much as he could. With winter looming close and snow on the ground outside already, he needed to stock up on as much food as he could. Thanksgiving and the holiday close on its heels, Christmas, were the best opportunities for Oscar to gather supplies for the cold months.
I was drunk when I wrote most of Shadows and Reflections. On my parents couch in Florida, waiting for Thanksgiving dinner and given an entire bottle of champagne… One of my few exceptions to my rule of very little alcohol in my life. I like to think the story turned out great because of it. Got Sam and Bobby’s first encounter all squared away.
