Close, but not quite there!
Don’t worry, someone else got it so that’ll post in a bit for all to see! Keep trying on the others! ^^
June 25th excerpt:
When he turned to leave, he nearly tripped over the box of raisins again, catching his balance against the friggin’ crackers with his free hand with a strangled curse. Giving the raisins a look that accused them of sabotaging any hope he had of being ninja for the day, Dean scooped up the box before he headed for the walls and home.
Bowman Lost Excerpt
Bowman winced as the hand swept him aside in the air before he finally arced away from it. The pain ran up and down his side, spiking in his middle, and the stricken wing fluttered in his daze. He couldn’t stop the fall.
He was falling.
No sooner had he realized the heart-skipping fact than he’d crashed.

Boy did you! But we love it so never stop! Some of these guesses are great XD Though they don’t quite hit the mark, you’re inching closer on a few. I think I might make a post for all guesses so it’s in one place when I have time this weekend.
LETS SEE WHAT WE GOT. I’ll give you one big hint for one since you put so much thought out for us and our little creations
#sotw– not close just yet.
#don– think sadder for our drifter
#bofa– growing warmer. Each letter is a separate word so this one’s a bit more complicated than the others in this AU
#iatwaa– HINT! It’s close to what we use for our queue tag, only twisted in a different direction.
#ws– Cute tries! Still cold
#tttb– I like that name XD Maybe in the future we’ll use it. We’d probably have to tag any duplicates like that with a 2 after the rest.
…. I got nothin.
As for your guess,
Ice cold.
June 24th excerpt:
“You okay?” John called softly, opening the door a crack to peer in at the small person within.
Caught off guard by the unexpected flood of light, Dean stumbled to his feet, one arm half-raised in defense with his other hand diving for his knife. Years of instincts developed from his current size had combined with the wariness he’d learned from his father, putting him constantly on edge and ready to act at a moment’s notice.
Realizing who was there, Dean’s eyes narrowed and he felt the tension leave his back. It was just John, and he meant well, despite how startling he could be.

Good guess, but you’ll have to try again!
I’ll give you a hint. #bofa is the hardest story name to guess because the character featured in the name is not majorly featured in our stories, but plays a big enough part in that story to become prominent.
June 23rd excerpt:
In the cupboard, Dean slowly went through the new boxes John had brought home, wishing one or two of them was open or even just on the side. He finally decided to give climbing the new box of crackers a try; he just had to get his arm and knife in to tear a hole in the wrapper and get some food. Later on he could make a run for fresher food after the humans had their dinner.
Of course, Dean’s run of bad luck continued when he knocked over a small box of raisins trying to climb the bigger box.
“Sonovabitch!”
Bowman Lost Excerpt
And then, just as abruptly, he came to a stop in front of a new pair of eyes.
The new human’s jaw dropped and he stared with unmasked fascination. His skin was just as pale as the first human’s, and he was just as wingless. From the looks of things, he had long hair, and it was tied back; Bowman couldn’t see much beyond the face that leaned closer to him, and his shoulders bunched up. He wished he could hide himself in his wings, but he didn’t want to present them to scrutiny, too.
“Dude, holy shit,” the giant breathed, barely more than a whisper. “It moved. It’s real.”
Ding ding ding, you got it!
#dow is Dean of Wellwood, and now all we’ve got is #don and #bofa before all (current) stories for that particular AU have names!
I’ll add it to the FAQ in a bit. For now, you’ve earned a sneak peek!
As though a sudden breeze picked up, the knights took to the air in a flurry of leafy wings. They were flashes of leafy green that fell into formation with Scar at their head, leading a spiral of knights upwards.
Mere seconds later, the spiral broke apart. What looked like a loss of formation quickly shifted into knights scattering into groups of four or five and darting up towards different trees surrounding the village. Some were lost among the leaves and still others were easily marked circling around with their eyes focused on their adversary:
Dean.
The first knight darted towards Dean from the side, and soon after another from a different group swept into the village. Like the ticking of a clock, knights dashed into closer quarters with the human, following the tactics Scar had signaled to them. Determination filled every one of them as they closed in to swarm around the giant.
Dean brought his arms close to guard against any attacks. The sprites moved different from any opponent he’d ever faced, so before lashing out with his own strike, Dean’s intent green eyes watched how they flowed through the air. The rest of the surroundings dropped away from the fighters and ceased to exist.
After Dean had marked the position of the different groups in his mind to keep track during the flurry, he focused on one that was closer to his right side. The second they were within reach, his arm swept forward with the intent to snatch them out of the air.
The knight, one of the younger members, let out a quiet noise of alarm. He attempted to veer off course, but the adrenaline in his body and the sudden jelly-like feeling in his wings prevented him. His sword dropped to the ground below as fingers the size of his body coiled around and trapped him in a fist. His wings were engulfed along with him, and just like that his fight was over; there was no escape from Dean’s grasp.
“Do not falter,” Scar barked in warning as the other knights watched one of their number disappear into one of Dean’s pockets. If their hearts hadn’t already been pounding, they would have begun.
Dean wasn’t only big. He was fast.
