Remember in taken from brothers apart that dean took the borrowers from that motel? What if they had to stop on the way (plot reasons) and found knights inn, took him and everyone else to trails west?

The BA bros would be amaze to meet Oscar! He’s done so much, surviving on his own that long!

They would certainly offer, since they’re helping so many others relocate at the time. Oscar wouldn’t have to live on his own, and he’d have more of a support system than he does at his current place, where the others live so far apart.

Plus, Sam always can drop in on their friend and make sure he’s doing okay in his new home. 

Quick question: What would happen if Jacob met Oscar and somehow convinced him to come home with him?

The cutest and dorkiest interactions ever would happen is what. You have the biggest teddy and the tiniest mouse, trying to figure each other out. Honestly, once Jacob figures out how scary he is to such a little guy, he’s completely flop. He’d work so hard to try to get some trust, even just have Oscar talk to him for a while.

From there, he’s got a task of getting Oscar to actually leave the only place he’s ever known. I’m not sure if he would be able to do it in just one visit, but the best selling point he has is the cooking back home. All that warm, hearty food that Jacob’s mom makes would do wonders for little Oscar’s health!

There is actually the beginnings of an AU like this in the works already, with the first story posted over on my writing blog: here

September 29th excerpt:

Before Dean lost his resolve, he stuck his hand out like he’d been shown as a kid to offer the dog his scent, his fingers stretched out as far as they could go in an attempt to make his hand as big as possible. He didn’t know if it was going to make a difference considering his entire body was smaller than a normal person’s hand, but maybe she’d understand and recognize the gesture and consider him like any other human, instead of a treat or toy.

“H-hey girl,” Dean stuttered out. “We’re all friends here, right?”

I started wondering, what would happen if A Lich of Sense/Bothering Bowman took place in Faedell (my own fictional forest filled with tiny winged magical beings) instead of Wellwood? Fun idea, so I wrote out an outline. It HEAVILY parallels the original two, of course. But I realized that it also kinda feels like I’m just replacing Bowman with a fairy. Especially since I decided it would be more fun with Jacob there. And that wasn’t my intent, I love Bowman, but that’s how it kinda looks now.

Bowman might bop if anyone tries replacing him!

Just try not to imply that you’re replacing neon’s characters in the stories, she’s sensitive about that subject, no matter how many times we tell her she’s here to stay.

The forest you have sounds like an interesting place! I’d be interested in seeing what you came up with from that story idea!

@nightmares06

How would Sherlock react to extra tiny Jacob in the Lounge? Would he see right away he’s not cursed like the others and try to understand what happened to him and go all mind palace? Will guess some of the trials he went through(by his ragged look or smell)?

Mostly Jacob will have to put up with being on the other end of Sherlock’s pocket magnifier. He’s so much littler than all the others, even Oscar! He can probably narrow down a few possibilities of his ordeals if there are signs of poor Jake’s wear and tear over the course of JIW, and he’ll be interested to know just how he got so very smol. Jake’s in for gentle pokes and a lot of examining and zero personal space until Sherlock gets shooed away from him.

At this point, extra tiny Jacob is more than Done over the fact that he’s tiny again, after all the crap he went through before he was graciously allowed to be tol again. If not for a certain Sam likely scooping him up into a satchel, he’d most likely just weather Sherlock’s attention with the most exhausted, exasperated silence.

Seriously. He thought he was done with all this.

So I looked it up and saw that the episode in which the brothers first meet the “trickster”/Gabriel is in season 2 episode 15, and the episode in which they meet Madison is in season 2 episode 17. I noticed that in the Bigfoots A Hoax story Sam mentioned Madison (or at least thought about her), which means they’ve already been through this episode, which meeeaaannnss they’ve already encountered the trickster. … Which mmmeeeaaannnsss that when the canon Brothers from Bigfoots A Hoax (part 1)

Which mmmeeeaaannnsss that when the canon Brothers from Bigfoots A Hoax story enter the Lounge, they will recognize Gabriel, and might react a bit aggressively…? How is the whole thing gonna sort out? (part 2… I need more room for my messages – _- lol)

Hmm, I’m not completely sure yet how characters will react to dear ole Gabe when the ones that recognize him in the Lounge arrive (such as Brothers Found getting back from the hunt where he kicked around Jacob like a punching bag, whoops). I’m sure the Trickster has a few tricks up his sleeves to keep them all under control! This is supposed to be RELAXING, dagnabbit. 

September 28th excerpt:

For a moment while Dean talked, Nate nearly froze halfway through his descent down the stairs. This was the most Dean had spoken around him, only a few sentences but enough for Nathan to notice something important.

Dean was American.

So I noticed that the human scientist from Out Of The Frying Pan and the one from A Burglary At Baker Street (at from what I could see from the sneak peaks), kind of resemble each other – blond, pale grey cold eyes, freaking EVIL… Are they the same guy? And if so, does that mean we’ll get to see Xander, Barry and Garen in Brothers Consulted?

The two scientists are unrelated, but good catch!

The scientist from Out of the Frying Pan belongs to @nightmares06 , while the one from A Burglary at Baker Street has been designed and created by @borrowedtimeandspace, so any resemblance is pure coincidence!

There’s no plans currently to bring Barry, Xander and Garen over to London, but who knows? We might see any characters from BA in BC if the story calls for it!
