We’ve got four stories picked out for the next poll already, and we’re not sure if we’ll have any others added into it just yet. Brothers Unexpected still needs to be edited, so we’re not sure when it’ll make its way into the poll. It’s great to see interest in the story, though, so that helps us decide what to edit next/soon!
March 11th excerpt:
Bowman waited on the porch, unknowingly mirroring Sam as he leaned over to watch Jacob scoot himself carefully to the pocket. He couldn’t see his friend’s expression clearly, though he could vaguely tell he was concentrating on the task at hand. That was probably good; jumping recklessly from that high, even into a cloth pocket, could really injure the tiny hunter.
Bowman suppressed a shiver. It was beyond weird to think of Jacob as tiny. They needed to get him better as soon as possible, because this was all too strange.
I don’t want to give away too much of the stories, but even if Sam doesn’t have to fix Dean up in Brothers Apart, he’ll definitely be helping that big brother of his out in one AU or the other. He’s not as medically trained as Dean is by simple fact that Dean’s had to be able to stitch himself or his dad up since childhood, but Sam did learn some basic first aid from both Walt and Dean.
March 10th excerpt:
Once he was upright, Dean held the hand near his face, finally able to see Jacob clearly. “Hey kid,” he whispered. “How you feeling?”
Jacob’s eyes were wide as he stared back. He could see every freckle on Dean’s face, every minor shift of his irises as green eyes the size of Jacob dilated to focus on him. Jacob thought that he could be looking at a face projected on the Times Square coke sign and it would be about this big.
It was a discouraging thought that he needed to be this close for Dean to be able to see him clearly. There was no way for him to be sure exactly how big he was; he was certain the others had a guess as to his current measurement, but he wasn’t going to be asking that anytime soon. It had to be tiny if the simple action of Dean whispering sent a considerable breeze over his body.
The curse itself is going to remain consistent because of the way the AUs are set up, but we do have a giant story in development, this one done with the canon Winchester brothers. There’s a few sneak peeks out for it if you want to check them out–
March 9th excerpt:
Jacob’s eyes were drawn right back up to Dean, the definite winner of the giant contest here. Jacob could tell he was trying to move slowly to kneel closer, but even those movements were so massive and fast and alarming to watch. It really was like seeing a skyscraper kneel down to greet him. Dean’s knee hit the ground with all the grace and subtlety of an avalanche. The ground shook under Jacob and the other two, but Sam and Bowman didn’t react to the trembles.

Saving people, solving crimes
The flatmate business
Over a decade ago, a serious of unfortunate events led to the Winchesters, at only a few inches in height, being forcibly relocated to London. Now, they’ve adjusted to their size and found a new home to live in that just happens to be the same residence of a certain detective and his blogger…

Dean is the lucky winner of the size contest in this story. He gets to stay normal.
March 8th excerpt:
Jacob’s eyes were drawn straight up into a more distant sky. Dean’s face was still framed by the green and gold canopy now a world away. He was over twice as big as he’d been before. Even leaning over, his intense green eyes were higher up than they’d been. Dean was colossal compared to Jacob now, and no amount of time with Sam or Bowman beforehand could have prepared him for the shock. Dean’s very breathing created a gale high above.
Those just sound delicious.
If I was little, checking out puddles and streams like this would definitely be on my list of ‘must-do’s. Once the silt settles, you can see all the fish swimming along and probably checking Sam out curiously, and he can call up to Dean what he’s looking at. But Dean better not step in the stream! He’ll scare off all the fish.
