July 11th excerpt:
Antsy, Sam couldn’t quite keep his focus. He bounced on his heels in the pocket, making it shake around Dean, who clung to the side with a death glare sent his way.
“C’mon, hurry up,” Sam urged them. “Something feels… off.”

Which fic did this happen?
You can actually find this in the second season finale of the Brothers Apart series, though I do recommend reading the stories in order if you’re not caught up, as this is heavily wrapped up in plot.
Random idea I can’t stop thinking about: Sherlock is working with his microscope when Dean falls/gets knocked off the table. Sherlock manages to catch and put him back on the table, with out ever looking up from his work. Sherlock explains the complexities of how he managed to catch Dean, and continues working. This idea just popped into my head.
If there’s anyone that can give Dean a run for his money in lectures, it would be Sherlock! His smol needs to be more careful while he’s on the table, that’s high up!

July 10th excerpt:
“That guy’s throwing back a few shots to drown his sorrows. I think you hurt his feelings.”
“He’s in the right place then,” Sam commented wryly, looking up at Jacob.
“With less money to spend on them,” Dean said with a glint in his eye, maliciously grinning as he glanced in the bar’s direction.
Sam rubbed his neck with a shrug. “I’m sure he’ll get over it.”
What would have happened if Cas hadn’t shrunk Dean back down? Also, was the curse that she used to enlarge Dean one that touched his soul as well?
If he hadn’t shrunk Dean back down, they’d have a lot of work to figure out how to get him back to normal.
Also, RIP Rufus’s cabin. It wouldn’t survive the attempt.
Sam and Dean couldn’t interact with each other reliably at that scale difference. They’d need Bobby to help soften the blow between them.
The curse Celeste used on Dean was not the same as the one that she used on Sam. This one was a standard witch spell.
Though in Brothers Apart we see her angelic soulbound curse used most often, there are other styles and types of magic and curses that can change sizes, either larger or smaller. The reason she used hers on the borrower population was because the angelic grace imbued in them strengthens the host body, and she’s growing an army of hosts and in particular, looking for a strong one for her brother to use.
Dean’s curse was easily lifted and removed. If they had to wait until later, a simple cleansing spell would have worked.
It would be painful, though. Crunching down to normal size all at once.
You will see other size changes happen in the BA multiverse.

July 9th excerpt:
“Great job in there,” Dean enthused. “Now we can actually put that nest egg to use and stop worrying about sending Jacob into a bar to try and bluff his way to winnings. He’s the one more likely to get played.”
Sam rolled his eyes and elbowed Dean in the side. “He tries,” he defended. “It’s not his fault he’s kind of… wholesome.”
