We don’t have an exact timeline because we let the readers decide our next story to post in a poll, so be sure to check in when the new poll goes up! Sam of Wellwood is nearing its end, so that should be within the next two weeks. Over Christmas break, we did manage to finish editing the first BC story, so that’s a hopeful sign.
Truthfully, I’ve been trying to write out an ending to that prompt since last spring, I just keep having no time to work on it, or new stories come up first. I hope to have a conclusion, and you’ll see it here first when I do!
Stan looks like this dude whose name apparently escapes the internet only, y’know, wearing clothes. He also has green eyes, unlike this dude.

As an extra treat, here’s a sneak peek of Sherlock’s first impression of Stan!
Sherlock looked this man up and down, reading his entire life in a matter of seconds. Late twenties to early thirties. His complexion and facial structure suggested Irish descent, probably second or third generation. Traces of dog hair along his trouser leg, which was slightly rumpled in a rushed attempt to lint roll it away. That indicated there used to be a lot of it, hastily cleaned after being alerted to an out-of-the-blue mission. It was a German shepherd, easily identified by the coloration and amount of hair that used to be present.
This agent came from a military family, his attentive stance suggested that, but due to his longer, casual hairstyle and frankly soft and innocent eyes, it was doubtful he’d ever really served.
For good measure, Sherlock noticed a slight bump on the man’s sternum under his maroon button-down, one which he had a habit of smoothing down absently. It was important to him. The detective caught a glimpse of a silver chain peeking out under the agent’s collar, so it was a necklace, but upon reviewing the shape of the bump, Sherlock found that it was no pendant.
It was a ring. More specifically, it was a ring that would fit this man’s fourth finger. Considering the lengths to which the agent went to hide the ring from his likely traditionally-valued family and kept it hidden out of habit but close to this heart, Sherlock could only assume a secret engagement, presumably with another man since he was the recipient of the ring.
It took Sherlock less than half a minute to pick the man apart, and he didn’t even know his name.

It sounds like a good idea, but it wouldn’t go as well in execution. Sam’s skin is twenty times thinner than Dean’s, so just imagine having glue that’s twenty times stronger than normal glue on your skin. It might come off eventually, but it might take some of you with it! Medical tape would work better, but given a choice, Dean will use cloth wraps or gauze any time.
Oh, welcome back, Sassy!
The wood sprites actually don’t have anything like this, but the idea is super cute! Normally, when things get cold, the wood sprites tend to wind down a lot and stay inside much more. Their little bodies are tough to keep warm, even with their good metabolisms.
However, now I can’t stop picturing a tiny Sammy bundling up, and bundling up a young, fluttery Bowman to go out and play in the snow. They could make some pretty spectacular igloos, and if they did find a frozen puddle, Bowman would probably have a lot of fun sliding around. Before anyone knew it, there’d be more sprites giving it a try. They’d all need to huddle close for warmth once they went back inside, though!
Let’s see… way too much, and not enough at the same time.
If we just count all the unedited stories we’ve written, there’s about 20ish stories waiting. Much less than that number has been edited, and most are around 10 chapters, give or take a few, but then there’s some (like the horror story) that have far, far more chapters waiting to go up.
We just love writing, and can’t stop (won’t stop).
The hard part is actually having time to edit, and with the way work has been, I might end up having to drop to two updates a week if things don’t slow down because by the time I get to the weekend these days I usually just collapse.
If Dean got arrested, all of his stuff would get confiscated. Sam would have to freeze up and pretend to be an action figure, hoping that the person who grabbed him out of Dean’s pocket didn’t tighten their hand just a little too much and break anything. He’d have to hide that he breathes, and blinks, and do his best not to react at their forceful handling of his older brother.
Sam would be placed with Dean’s possessions in evidence bags, leaving him to have to cut himself an airhole to breathe from until he was left alone. Once no one was around, he’d cut himself out, find a way out of lockup, and get back to Dean. He could pick the lock on Dean’s cuffs and get them both out of there.
I can neither confirm nor deny this.
But if/when Brothers Together returns, the brothers might not be kids at all!
For anyone interested, there was a small prompt that included the brothers from BT. An Afternoon Rainstorm, from a few years after Hershey Kisses and Salt Lines.
It really depends on the circumstances and how Dean reacts; if he can’t see anything because it’s dark, and he hears Sam’s voice (no matter how loud and how distorted), he’s not going to strike out with gun or knife until he knows where Sam is and what’s going on. If it’s light out and Sam catches him off guard, he might get a cut on a finger from Dean lashing out instinctively.
Much figuring things out would happen afterwards, along with really big, hurt eyes from Sam if he got stabbed. oAo
Oh dear, poor Sam! And Dean’s a little small to be able to manage a nice style like they’d get at the hairdressers, so Sam’s hair will look a little choppy, and Dean never did manage to get it to spike up in the front.
(Still better than Dean putting Nair in the shampoo)
I think there’s no way Dean would get away with it, once Sam woke up and found out what Dean did, he’d get himself pocketed for the rest of that day.
