So I’ve got this head cannon that every story in your different series are connected to each other by Celeste. I think that she can hop through timelines so that, if it looks like she will lose or if she’s defeated, she can always start over with a new(-ish) plan…I may be totally wrong, but that’s my current theory.

Lol! It’s not far off from what’s really going on…

I don’t have her directly hopping from AU to AU, but she does have an awareness of her other selves in the other universes, part of her abilities as an archangel. She considers them all a part of her, so to offend one is to offend them all. You can see this most in Brothers Asunder right now, where she rips Sam away from his family in as complete a way as possible, throwing him into the distant Wellwood forest as punishment for what other Sam and Deans have done.

( excerpt from Sam of Wellwood )

Also if you kill one Celeste, the others remain untouched.

Quote: Do you know how many times this same story has played out? Sometimes John saves you, sometimes he doesn’t. Sometimes that little thorn, Walt, interferes. Sometimes he doesn’t. But you know my favorite part? The fact that you two little dears just never figure me out. Bumbling around, saving people, hunting things. You can’t see past what’s right in front of your faces. You’re mine. And you always will be.

July 30th excerpt:

Dean stared blankly down at the pot of water on the stove, watching the steam drift upwards as it reached boiling point. He dropped in the hot dogs, probably more than Bobby wanted them to take, but they hadn’t visited for over a month, not to mention just finishing a hard case, so…

He dropped in another.

OK I don’t know if this is intentional or not what with the whole “Dean is a squirrel, Sam is a moose” thing that exists, but every time I see this particular picture, a memory pops into my head of a gif of a girl and a squirrel in almost the exact same pose, sharing a sandwich.

@enby-phoenix you bet! I actually sent moga that gif when we requested the commission.

Hi! I love your writing ^^. I stumbled upon Brothers Consulted and read the entire story in one go! I’m slowly reading through your other works but I’d just like to ask when we can expect to read more about Dean, Sam, Sherlock and John. I’m sorry if you’ve already answered this question or posted about it ^^’ Thank you!

It’s so good to hear that you enjoyed it! Sherlock and John are certainly fun additions to the stories ^^

There is a tiny series of short stories that’s placed before The Study of the Four that I wrote out while doing prompts, if you haven’t seen them yet. You can find them under this link.

We actually do have other prequel ideas that we might post in the future, it’s fun thinking of all the ways Sam and Dean nearly got caught!

And of course, we’ve got plenty more planned for this AU 😉

When the next story posting poll comes around, we’ll have the sequel to Study in it, A Burglary at Baker Street. Make sure to vote for it to see the return of BC!

If you want to see the excerpts we have posted for Brothers Consulted, check out these tags on the tumblr: #ababs, #a:asocs, #adod and #thoaw.

So, there’s plenty more coming, stay tuned and keep an eye out!

Do you/have you ever wrote g/t stories apart from supernatural? It would be cool to see a story set with only oc’s or in a different fandom. (btw I love all your stories and your writing is amazing)

@nightmares06

I absolutely have, but I haven’t had any posted online (there was one… once… but I took it down because it was unfinished for personal reasons and people kept coming around to badger me about finishing it and at this point I just try to avoid reminders…)

I’m actually writing a story that I hope to publish one day that’s vaguely g/t, and have plans for others!

And of course I’m obsessed with finding more stories to write, I love it so much and am addicted.

@neonthewrite

Non-supernatural gt is actually where I got my start! BA and the various AUs that nightmares and I have worked on together is actually some of the first fanfiction I’ve written at all (fanfiction was always so daunting to me). Other than the Food and Monsters series I have with Oscar the OC meeting the BA bros, I have a lot of GT material on my Deviantart page

I do a lot of drabbles over on my writing blog (neonthewrite linked above), with some spn gt and some original stuff. In a lot of cases, it’s either drabbles with the characters’ canon sizes, or I’m messing around with size dynamics like making Jacob Andris a stand-in for Gulliver  or having Bowman and Jacob swap sizes.

I’ve also recently published an actual GT story you can hold in your hands (what a time to be alive). That can be found here.

@borrowedtimeandspace

My main blog is actually centered around my first main series, which is a Doctor Who/The Borrowers crossover with an OC of mine as the Tenth Doctor’s companion. One day I will update/revise it ^^ Here it is on my Archive Of Our Own. On the blog I have a bunch of drabbles, shorts, and an AU or two that I have yet to fully explore but hope to soon.

(P.S. Neon and I have also tossed around ideas for a crossover with her novel and my silly stories x3 Preview here.)

July 29th excerpt:

All but forgotten in Dean’s pocket, Logan waited for someone to notice the irony in the room. While he was trapped and barely allowed a shard of a pretzel, Sam was free to roam. He would even get to have some of the warm food with the others, despite being bug-sized. He should be in as much danger as Logan, but he wasn’t. 

Wondering what made Sam so special wouldn’t get him free, so Logan pushed the thoughts aside. He kicked at Dean once more before turning to try opening the pocket again.

Bowman of Wellwood Excerpt

neonthewrite:

Light peeked under the hat. Bowman’s
eyes widened as the side slowly lifted, and he pondered diving underneath to
escape. A huge hand snaked its way under the brim and his nerves shattered.
Fingers the size of his body fished in the dirt, looking for him. Bowman tried to evade them, but
soon enough one of the giant fingertips brushed his arm.

A fearful squeak formed in his throat as
he tried to sidle around the hand only for a giant finger and thumb to pinch
the front of his shirt. He twisted away, but that grasp dragged him forward
several irresistible steps before the whole hand lunged forward and clamped
around him.

The skin was much thicker than his, to
say nothing about the strength of the grip coiled around him. Air fled Bowman’s
lungs and the hand dragged him out of his prison at last. It engulfed his body
from the waist down, with one arm pinned to his side. Bowman felt the human’s
slow pulse, heavy and powerful compared to his own, and heat radiated all
around him.

He squirmed with every ounce of strength he
had, and his wings twitched with him. He pushed as hard as he could on the
giant’s thumb as it lifted him up. The huge face loomed close, and Bowman did
what he could to ignore it.

By the time the giant was back at its
full height, panic had settled around Bowman’s heart like a cage. The giant
stared awkwardly at him, and he trembled every time he glanced up at those
enormous brown eyes. His attempts to escape didn’t bother his captor at all.

With no other options, Bowman let a
desperate impulse drive his actions. He leaned forward and sank his teeth into
the giant’s finger. The thick skin resisted his effort at first, and then his
sharpest teeth broke through just enough. A faint taste of copper came just
before the giant dropped him.

He fell like a stone, taking a deep
breath with newly freed lungs. Then, his wings snapped open and he leveled off
in the air. He hurtled towards the edge of the clearing with his wings blurring
in the night air to bank upwards.

No giant would catch Bowman Leafwing when he was flying.
