August 22nd excerpt:
Logan found himself swept up by the sudden rush of black fabric, and his yelp of alarm and demands for Dean to watch what he was doing went ignored.
Aaaa, I love when Dean’s in big brother mode, and now he’s got two little surprises to find! The horror story will come, but until then, it’s time for Dean and Jacob to flail their way through another first encounter.
You just made our day!
XD Jacob has good reason to be paranoid here, at least. They are but small grains of rice to him. He’ll have to watch out when he talks. Little guys like that can’t take a lot of volume from someone his size! Plus on the other hand, Jacob might not hear them if they say something to him (Bowman would be pissed if he couldn’t scold Jacob).
Regular Sam at least has a bit of experience climbing sharp cliffs, like elevator shafts, though the smol versions of him take it to a whole new level! He’d be fascinated to see one of him climb himself, especially since he knows he’s a tall guy.
The folds would be pretty intricately detailed. A normal smol could easily fit their fingers through the holes of most fabrics (especially the flannel that the Winchesters wear), so someone that’s that much smaller might be able to stick their entire arm in. @.@ That’s a lot of fabric.
August 21st excerpt:
With one hand over the bruise forming on the back of his head and the other desperately trying to get a grasp on the wall of the cage, Logan finally snapped. “Will you quite shaking this damn thing around so much?! Jesus Christ you’re worse than the fucking city bus.”
Dean glanced down at the cage, and couldn’t help a smirk. “Hear that, Sammy? He thinks I’m worse than the bus.”
Sam shifted on his shoulder, rubbing his eyes. After all the excitement, neither of them had got much sleep that day. “Guess he’s never tried being stuck in your jeans pocket,” he grumbled tiredly. “I don’t think I’ve ever had a worse ride than that, and I’ve been through a lot.”
And the winner is…
Family Ties!
It’s been three years since Jacob Andris found himself cursed to live at barely a twentieth of his height, and his adopted brother Sam Winchester has finally decided it’s time for his first trip to the rooms without Walt Watch’s supervision. How will Jacob’s supply run go when it’s just him and Sam?
Featuring the first part of the Brothers Adopted series!

This story was written before we did story excerpts, so sadly there are no excerpts to tantalize. Check out the sneak peeks above and prepare for the fun!
We don’t honestly have an overarching name for all the ‘verses, but we’re always open to ideas!
For the moment, we refer to the collective of stories as BAU. Initially, it only stood for Brothers Apart Alternate Universe, but we’ve widened it to include Brothers Apart as well. Both of our other blogs include BAU tags to label anything that relates to these stories, like inspiring gifs.
#BAU on @nightmares06, and #bau shenanigans on @neonthewrite.
August 20th excerpt:
“Well aren’t you all just saintly,” Logan finally answered bitterly. “Just taking someone’s entire life and changing it for them. The bugs really fucked you up, didn’t they?”
Poll closed! New story will be announced over the weekend!
It’s our regular scale, only in reverse. So from Jacob’s point of view, Sam will stand 4 inches tall, and to Sam and Dean, Jacob will be a little over 120 feet tall.
