What about the brothers giving the sprites a good climbing display in Brothers Grounded? Maybe because Bowman made some stupid remark about how they’d have trouble getting around, or simply doesn’t believe it’s possible for wingless small folk to even survive without them? Also I absolutely imagine Dean having a fight with a squirrel over food and royally kicking its ass. Or Sam exploring the cottonwood tree at night without any lights ~Sassy (P.S: I’m over the moon you using my name suggestion)

It’s a great name! Those poor grounded brothers, they’ve never even been able to fly! How can they live like that?

I’m sure Sam is going to shock and awe the sprites when he climbs 😉 He’s confident in his skills and doesn’t mind showing off a time or two, while Dean won’t let anyone make fun of his skills. He might not be the best at heights, but he knows a thing or two.

Dean would totally rock that squirrel.

The sprites would be so amazed at how Sam can see in the dark! How is that even possible!

There’s a lot about these strange sprite-sized humans to be amazed about. They’re wingless, and yet that doesn’t stop them from reaching the tops of the trees if they wanted. Though they can’t get energy from the sun, so they’d better have a snack before they try an adventure like that.

Brothers Grounded can have Jacob take them to Wellswood!

They’re on their way!


“We should scout the area before it gets dark,” Dean said, getting up and stretching. “Make sure we find a safe home for the night.”

“Right,” Jacob muttered, a more subdued smile on his face. Regardless of how much trust he’d managed to bargain for himself, the two of them would need some space to themselves. Fascinated or not, he couldn’t deny them that.

“Just keep yourselves outta trouble,” he joked, reaching out to nudge Dean in the side before he was done stretching. As before, he drew his hand back quickly to avoid the retribution that he was sure the little guy would offer. “Gotta be ready for a bit of a hike tomorrow.”

Dean recoiled in surprise, his face falling into a flat expression at the playful gesture. He threw up his arms in frustration at how quick the teenager could move, faster than he could react to. “Well unless the village is a few feet in, I think you’ll be doin’ most of the hikin’, Godzilla,” he retorted in annoyance, his Midwestern drawl thickening.

Sam tried to hide a snicker behind a hand, entertained by the innocent interactions between the pair. He hadn’t been bored once since they met Jacob. “So how far in the forest is the village, anyway?” he asked.

Motel AU suggestion: Brothers Grounded (because they’re non sprites) or Brothers Discovered (basically what Jacob did, he discovered 2 non sprites) ~Sassy

Brothers Discovered is already taken, but Brothers Grounded sounds perfect! They’re definitely not-sprite smols, and Jacob is not used to his smols being unable to flit up to his face and give him a good bop! I’ll have to figure out what to do with updating this story and what we’ll be doing with it.

Anyone have any suggestions for Brothers Grounded?

April 3rd excerpt:

Jacob sidled towards one of the legs of the dresser. If he could reach it before the search angled his way, he might be able to hide unnoticed. He was extra small. It had to count for something in this terrifying game of hide and seek.

April 2nd excerpt:

If there was one thing he knew in all his time hunting, it was that freak medical conditions were almost always supernatural in origin.

Which brought the young twenty-two year old hunter here, to this unassuming room in an unassuming house.

Contest submission by @birvan! Here we have Sam’s bed and the crib Jacob got stuck in (along with an extra-smol bed for extra-smol Jacob that I’ll be sending to @neonthebright for her teddy)

I just had to get a picture of Sam with his bed (disclaimer: Sam here is a half inch too tol to be the Sam for my stories, but it’s close! He’s even got his research books ready to go)
