August 13th excerpt:

Under Dean’s watchful eye, Sam flopped onto his bed, and it was less than a minute before he was snoring away, arms and legs in a sprawl.

Dean shook his head. Good thing their dad had sprung for a room with two beds. He wouldn’t have a foot in his face.

August 11th excerpt:

Dean noticed that the book where the kid had sat was now empty, the M&M abandoned. Dean reached forward, plucking up the M&M between two fingers and his brow furrowing in confusion when he saw the little shadow hiding behind the bread.

With a sigh, Dean reached around to pluck the kid up. “You’ve gotta stay in sight,” he scolded.

August 10th excerpt:

The rest of the huge M&M stayed in Oscar’s lap while he took a nibble of the candy. His eyes widened in shocked appreciation and he shot Sam a glance.

No wonder the other boy was so excited. It was good.

I wandering if we’ll get to see Oscar in Brothers Divided, how will the interactions be different from Brothers Adopted? 😊

Dean has this… bad habit in Brothers Divided… where he tries to ‘adopt’ smols that don’t want to be adopted…

Jacob might end up with a pocketmate.

One who’s especially squeaky and timid, and honestly? Jacob would kind of understand why Dean got the urge to protect the little guy. Oscar has a very Adopt Me kind of aura and very few people are immune to it. Dean doesn’t stand any more chance of resisting than Oscar does of avoiding the pocket.

August 9th excerpt:

Dean elbowed Sam in the side, one side of his mouth quirked. “Might wanna…”

Sam saw Oscar’s troubles. “Oh!” He quickly reached for the little yellow candy, plucking it from between the kid’s tiny hands. “Here, I can help.”

Taking the M&M, Sam lightly rapped it against the table, until he saw the top start to splinter sugar and a bit of the chocolate was visible from inside. “There’s peanuts in them,” he explained to Oscar as he held it out again. “Chocolate and peanuts and candy and yum!”

What would be Jacob’s and Bowman’s reaction to a butterfly sitting on Jacob’s nose? I just came back from a trip and a butterfly sat on my face and I couldn’t help but think of those two dorks By the way I love your stories, your great!

Thank you so much! We love that you love the stories and I am super glad you thought of my dorks after your magical encounter.

Jacob would be the most surprised about it, I bet. Butterflies usually avoid humans (or anything really), so to have one land on him would catch him off guard. He might balk and then freeze, all crosseyed, and Bowman would have to look back and see why his giant went silent. Of course, he’d have a laugh about the way he looked with a butterfly chilling on his face.

Rischa would be especially proud of Jacob for being calm enough for the butterfly to trust him. She’s pretty fond of those fluttery friends.

August 8th excerpt:

“Chocolate’s my favorite,” Sam finally managed to say. “Dean likes licorice.” He wrinkled his nose in disgust.

“Oh…” Oscar frowned in dubious confusion, glancing over at Dean but doubting he’d learn anything. He had never heard of licorice, but if it was edible he’d probably like it well enough. Oscar had decided early in life that he liked food in general for the content feeling it put in his middle.

He sat down with his yellow M&M held close and cradled in his lap. He definitely couldn’t bite it the way Sam could bite several at once.
