This also brings into question if John Winchester would leave his boys a toy when he passes on…
Or is Dean full of bs?

I actually have a few ways I imagine it! We have the initial layout from the first story of Brothers Apart:
The arrows and circles showing where Sam and Dean were standing on their initial first encounter, small escape paths and entrances for Sam marked at the sides.
Then we have the actual layout of the real Trails West, another good reference for the room:
There’s a possibility we’ll see any of the supernatural characters appear in any of the stories at any time, but where and when is always a mystery.
I think it’s very likely this one will come about, with both brothers determined to track their father down after so long trapped in the motel. Jacob is just as determined to help them. No one should go for so long without contact with their family.
This is a fun idea! They should do more with spirits that have unfinished business, it feels like that’s an untapped well of ideas just waiting for someone to jump in. If anyone wants to write this out, we’d all love to read it! We’ve got quite a few stories on our plate saved up, so we wouldn’t be able to tackle it.
Random brain farts is 80% of what I come up with.
On a side note, I’ll definitely be having a spirit with “unfinished business” showing up in the future…

The thing about Jacob is he always seems to have a Grab First reaction. Wee kiddo Jacob is not that different, though luckily for little Sam he’s not a rough child by nature. In fact he’s much more likely to hug than to be mean. He doesn’t like to see people upset, and hugs are a good solution, right?
His parents just want to take care of their kid. They don’t have any expectations of a very tiny kiddo showing up in their room, but they’re both nice people. Even if Nicholas Andris is HUGE, Sam doesn’t need to be scared of him.
Of course, poor Sam won’t know any of this when he first encounters them!
Jacob paused, noticing the tiny voice at the edge of hearing. He couldn’t tell if his papa heard it too, but he was still looking at him expectantly. Behind him, Jacob could see his mama leaning to watch curiously. He pursed his lips and clutched his toy trucks closer while he rapidly processed the situation to determine if they suspected something.
“Uh uh,” he said, squirming away from his Dad’s hand to walk hurriedly around the second bed. “I’m only playing trucks today, see?” He held up the trucks to display them even as he sidled into the narrow space between the bed and the wall.
His mama raised an eyebrow at him. “Jacob, are you telling the truth? You know you’re not supposed to lie.”
“I am! I’m just playing trucks!” he insisted.
His father stood up with a quiet creak of his joints as they hoisted all of his huge body up. His mama stood again and walked around her tall husband to stand at the foot of the second bed and look appraisingly at Jacob and his pocket.
“Jacob,” his papa said gently. “Did I hear something? Do you have a mouse trapped in your pocket?” His deep voice was kind, patient with the boy, but also stern.
His mama was in charge of the really stern looks, and Jacob inched away from her even more as she leveled one on him. “Jacob Nicholas Andris, you tell us the truth right now or I’m going to come and check your pockets myself.”
It’s so nice to hear from you! We miss you just as much, trust me.
Since I’ve always got more to say, we were thinking that everyone might want to do a lil “Ask the authors” block this weekend, to start getting back on our feet a little. Work’s still crazy, Zelda hype is a little calmer, and we’ve started writing again. It is an addiction we can never quit.
So, mark your calendar and come up with some questions for us! This Saturday and Sunday! Asks done at author discretion, feel free to ask us what’s going on in our lives, in our writing, in our gaming. It’ll be a little more open a forum than the regular BA asks.
Authors – @nightmares06, @neonthebright and @borrowedtimeandspace!
Be sure to send us in asks, too! The flow of asks has tapered off quite a bit in recent weeks, we’re still open for them!
And, for a little update on everything else going on:
- I finally broke my block with Brothers Apart! I managed to finish the second season finale! That puts Brothers Apart finished up through story 14 (barring any short stories that might crop up between now and when they post).
- Once The Study of the Four, Bothering Bowman and Return to Oz post, we’ll have another poll and Brothers Apart will be in it! But it probably won’t hold a candle next to the horror story in the vote. Because let’s face it, the horror story has been waiting a very long time to go.
- @neonthebright and @nightmares06 decided to focus on one AU at a time for a bit to scrape together the ideas we have mulling around. Currently, since BA finally got into the third season, we’re writing an extra special crossover, once more with our bbys.
- Brothers Consulted continues on, and we’d be lying if we said we didn’t have ideas for future superlock AUs…

And we are 2 for 2!
Clash of the Hunters was originally named for Clash of the Titans. Compared to Sam and the sprites, any fight between the hunters Dean and Logan is an epic tale along the proportions of the Titans. Good thing one of the hunters is on their side this time!
New abbreviation updated on the FAQ.
You got it on the first try! There’s No Place Like Home for sure, but… whose home?
You know, I went to look for a gif for “there’s no place like home” and all that came up was Supernatural gifs, nothing from Wizard of Oz… hmm… we’ve taken over.
I’ve placed the list of story tags in the FAQ, and will add names to it as they’re guessed so everyone can see how many unnamed stories are waiting to be guessed!
Considering the amount of asks we get about Castiel, I’m going to point you towards the FAQ we have.
I’m not sure if Crowley will ever be appearing in BA, but he is a fun character on the show, so it’s certainly a possibility!
There’s multiple tiny!Jacob’s, but if you mean the story with the extra smol Jacob, it’s our horror story! We have excerpts posting for it now, and it’ll be appearing in the poll before long. Check out all the past posts about it:
