October 21st excerpt:

“We’re not supposed to accept food from anyone,” Sam said, giving a valiant effort to tell John why he couldn’t just say yes. He swallowed thickly, wondering if he was ruining his one chance to have food that wasn’t snitched from the cupboards or days old. “I didn’t do anything to earn the food, and we don’t have anything we can give you for it.”

John chewed his lip while Sam talked himself in circles. To an extent, he could understand why the poor lad was reluctant to accept the offered food. He’d made a point in emphasizing that he and his brother were most certainly not pets.

Where exactly they learned that sentiment in the first place was not a thought John was prepared to have just yet. Not with more pressing matters at hand. As a doctor, John felt it was imperative for Sam and Dean to broaden their diets, which would only benefit their survivability in the long run. At the same time, he needed to make sure they didn’t feel like they were just getting handouts from the bigger folk.

Sam would be wary, but that comes from experience with feral rats, which are best avoided unless absolutely necessary. Once he realized it was friendly, it would be a lot like an extra large mouse, sniffing at him to learn more about him and in general being a big fluffy buddy.

I think Sam would try and help it find its way back home because it probably misses its humans 🙂

And make sure Dean doesn’t freak out at the furry rat in their room XD

(That’s actually Dean’s boot at the edge of the gif XD)

If we’re just talking about baby wood sprites (which are endearingly called sprouts), they nurse from their mothers or maybe a wet nurse, if needed. When they are a little more developed, they can have soft fruits if they’re mashed/chewed a bit for them first, much like a human infant. The important part is making sure they eat enough. Their little wings remain curled up in their little leaf bud shapes while they’re young, so they don’t get very much from the sun. Wood sprite mamas fuss about their babies getting enough energy most of the time.

October 20th excerpt:

John started up the heat on the stove, then went to turn on the electric kettle. That’s when he noticed the saucer and froze. A small plate had been set out in the middle of the counter, one edge dotted with tiny scraps of food. John leaned over to find a raisin, a bit of cracker, a dollop of mustard, a few pieces of wheat cereal, and a raw slice of mushroom. He sighed, realizing that this was Sherlock’s idea of an experiment.

After double-checking for traps, John decided there really was no harm in it, and decided to concentrate on how best to fry the eggs and bacon as quietly as possible.

Aww, what a cute pairing!

Pre-curse Sam would be awed by how tiny the person he found is, and generally being a kid, nudging and picking him up and asking a constant stream of questions, while post-curse Sam is debating with himself and wondering if he should tell his younger self what’s going to happen to him in the future.

October 19th excerpt:

“Boring,” Sherlock answered simply, digging through a pile of discarded newspapers for the bow for his instrument.

John slumped into his chair, bordering on defeat. “Explain to me how you found every single one of those cases boring.”

“Explain to me,” shot back the detective, standing up straight, “how anything could be interesting after what we discovered.”

I definitely plan on it! I’ve just been flopped the last few days from work, and haven’t had the drive to do much at all… (aside from watch cutthroat kitchen), plus I have a bit of fun planned for the anniversary next week which took some time to setup.

If I ever haven’t gotten around to putting sneak peeks on the main page for them, I use a tag to track them all. If you go to that you can see what’s posted so far (and exactly what I haven’t posted yet XD)
