June 23rd excerpt:
“Don’t worry,” Sam smiled as they took their leave. “We can handle ourselves.”
The brothers were silent as they left the suburb behind, both digesting the implications of hunting an honest to god giant.
“We’re going to need bigger guns,” Sam commented as they pulled into the local motel to regroup for the night.
He would feel hurt, but he understands. He would take his leave and find his way back to Dean. There’s no use imposing himself on people who might have good reason to avoid humans, and he wouldn’t want to risk them lashing out at him.
Sam would be so tall he actually gets to see slightly above how tall he’d be as a regular guy! If Dean’s shifting around at all, he might end up clinging to that spike of hair Dean’s so proud of, and complaining.
And Dean would let him, because Sam’s earned this and deserves to be tall, dammit.
Fun fact – tiny Sam standing on regular Dean’s head would be just as tall as Jacob when he’s full grown.
I was drunk when I wrote most of Shadows and Reflections. On my parents couch in Florida, waiting for Thanksgiving dinner and given an entire bottle of champagne… One of my few exceptions to my rule of very little alcohol in my life. I like to think the story turned out great because of it. Got Sam and Bobby’s first encounter all squared away.
June 22nd excerpt:
“No, no, no, God, please!” Joseph begged, screaming at the top of his lungs. The rumbling voice of the thing drowned out his words but he was too panicked to truly register anything but his own shrill voice and thudding heart.
Displaced air pushed past him as the giant knelt, ready to claim its prey. Joseph felt several tears leaking out of his eyes and continued to try to pry the bars loose from each other. A shadow blocked out the sight of the moon above. Joseph looked over his shoulder and saw an enormous hand with fingers all bigger than his body reaching out to grab the top of the trap.
The brothers – To keep it interesting, I’d say Sam ends up swapping into Jacob, and Dean into Sam! That makes Jacob the shortest of the group, and poor Sam, who has the least experience being full-sized, finds himself too tall! He might not even get as far as discovering how strong he is now considering how nervous he’d be around the two really tiny guys. While Dean’s just complaining about how long Sam’s hair is and it gets in his eyes and how can you deal with this Sam.
Jacob – Jacob would be super weirded out to see how big everything is. He’d also have to concede that, yes, he very much does seem to stomp around and cause earthquakes. He’d have to hope the Sam-swapped-Dean was able to get over the shock enough to look after him, because he doesn’t have the skills like the brothers do for surviving that smol!
Sam can hang out on a shoulder and chill if he wants. Anyone who says different will have Dean to deal with. Do not mess!
Sam and Dean pictured here are the stars of Brothers Apart, and always ready to go.

June 21st excerpt:
“Oh! Okay!” Mallory hugged Sam back. “Don’t let me keep you then. Just be sure to stop in later to say goodbye, and Jacob, you don’t have to worry about stomping around so much when you’re in the room! We really don’t mind. There’s no need to put yourself out for us like that.”
Jacob chuckled sheepishly, the quiet sound barely echoing out of his chest. “Ah, yeah,” he muttered, thinking of his last few days in the motel. He had hardly done much walking around, except when training with the others. Ever since learning that there was a home under those floorboards, he had paid extra attention to the so-called “earthquakes” he caused when he walked. He’d avoided the small house entirely.
Even with Mallory’s assurance, he would probably refrain from walking around unless he really needed to. “Thanks. It’s pretty relaxing anyway, so don’t worry about me too much yourself.”
Another piece of art I’m working on! This one’s gonna take a while but I’m excited to see the outcome! Hint: it has something to do with @brothersapart ’s story coming up with a human, a tiny, and an even tinier tiny!
We’re just as excited! This is shaping up to be a great adventure for all involved. In a few days the current story excerpts will wrap up and we will begin to see the excerpts from the GIANT adventure that lies ahead.
