Ask the authors weekend!

The time has come again– from 1pm July 6th to 11 pm July 7th, ask the authors weekend will happen!

Once again, along with asking us any question (within reason) you can think of, there will be a Brothers Apart discord chatroom open for all to join!

You can chat, discuss the stories with all the writers, ask us whatever you come up with, and there might always be a few people interested in rp’ing, so feel free to drop in and have some fun!

Everything in the chatroom will be public, and may be shared on the BA tumblr at any time, and depending on how the weekend goes, we may leave the chatroom open after the weekend concludes! Let us know what you think of the time/place, and if you have any questions or concerns, drop us a line.

After all, the AU lounge wouldn’t exist without you!

July 4th excerpt:

“Nate… and Stan,” Dean repeated, recalling their introductions from before. He scrunched up his face. “Nathan and Stanley?” was next, wondering if he was to call them by their full names.

Stan’s brow jumped up and his attention turned from his phone to Dean. He couldn’t help a small chuckle to himself, he hadn’t been called ‘Stanley’ since he was little.

“Just Stan is fine by me,” he assured Dean. “No one really calls me Stanley. Pretty sure Nate goes by both, though, whatever you feel like calling him. He won’t mind either way.”

Just a random thought here, but what do you think would come of Rowena and Celeste meeting? Would the be friends? Enemies? Frienemies even?

Well, Rowena is often drawn to power, so I can see her seeking out Celeste if she gets wind of what she’s up to.

Unfortunately, Celeste disdains actual witches, as useful as she finds their powers. Though she might be interested to know Rowena is able to use magic without demon interference, she’s already met witches like that in the past. She won’t let Rowena come close to her plans, and Rowena would spurn this treatment.

Queue them becoming worst enemies and Rowena working to upset Celeste’s plans, especially if it helps her learn a few angelic secrets.

July 3rd excerpt:

Dean took a moment to arrange the fabric and then came right back to the opening, planning on grabbing the rest. He could use it for other places to sit or maybe lay it out like a rug. The possibilities kept his mind busy.

Reaching the edge of the door, Dean gave Stan a thumb’s up of approval.

Would it have really made a difference if Bobby had told Dean about Littles before he encountered Sam at Trails West? In other words, would they still have met and, if they did, would it have been at all similar to their meeting in Brothers Apart?

It definitely would!

Dean would still be jumpy if he ran into Sam without warning, but he’s also not about to bother a person just minding their own business getting supplies. He’d be more likely to let them go and see if they knew anything about the problems Trails West has been having, since borrowers/littles are a very good source of information for the hunters that protect them.

So they would definitely still meet, Dean would grab Sam, let him go, probably with a warning that something’s up in the motel, and Sam wouldn’t be able to resist giving Dean a hand with it, only to discover just who Dean is in the first place. 

July 2nd excerpt:

Dean nodded, starting to gather up his chosen pile of softer fabrics. Since he couldn’t carry everything in at once, he settled for what he planned on using for his bedding.

Arms full, he walked towards the ‘door’ of his new home, looking it up and down. The opening of the door was a few centimeters over his spike of hair, and he paused to look up when he was in the doorway, touching the side of the cutaway Stan had done. There was barely a fray aside from the corners. If he had time later, he could tug any of the excess cardboard out and make it a little cleaner. It would give him something to do.
