I think you made my week with this! I wish you the best as you tackle the rest of your book! We’ve put a lot of work into this world and love to hear that people are enjoying it (probably to the obsessive level, to do all of it and still manage full time). I hope your book treats you well as you write it, and good luck!
Sam is a decently bulky guy in Supernatural, but Jacob is actually bigger!
Though in Brothers Adopted, he’s still currently shorter than Sam (he will eventually top out over four inches in height, the equivalent of 6′5″), he worked out a lot in school and did boxing before he was cursed. This, combined with the physique inherited from his dad results in him being bulkier than both Sam and Dean.
And Sam is currently only 22, so he’s a lot slimmer than he gets in later seasons of Supernatural, as well.
It would certainly be an option, but I find it more than likely that they just use Dean to improve Sam’s sense of balance. Walking along a finger is like walking along a balance beam, only the skin would shift under his feet, increasing the difficulty and helping him increase his skills. A golf ball might be a bit better than a ping pong ball, since it has more heft to it. A ping pong ball might go flying when he tried to get on.
Since there’s no way he’d risk being maimed for life, he’d stay put– but not the way they hoped. This Dean has a Jacob around, and he’ll be bossing Jacob around just as much. He won’t be sitting around, waiting for things to come to him!
Sam would be driven up a wall, Jacob would have Dean likely in his hands much of the time to A) keep him from getting up and stalking off and B) to let Dean feel included, and Bobby’s just rolling his eyes going idjits.
Of course we all know if Sam was the one hurt Dean would insist he stay put and out of sight, so he doesn’t get hurt more.
Don’t ever leave Dean alone with his cast at any size.
Ah! We’ve never touched on what they really are, so we can’t say if they’re human or not, borrowers or not, or something in between. This question will have to wait for the future! The origin of the ‘littles’ will be revealed in a future Brothers Apart story.
Oh, I like this idea! If anyone wants to, send us in a scenario and the characters. As always with prompts, if we can come up with anything, we’ll write and post it for everyone to see! A bit of character swap to go around.
Dean would want to help Sam however he can! If he can’t get Sam to wake up, since it’s a lot harder to break through to someone while they’re stuck in a dream, he’d sit next to Sam’s head on the pillow and rub his forehead, telling Sam stories from their childhood and straying into his own life growing up on his own after the curse.
It’s a book I’m writing about the character I designed growing up. She’s gone through a lot of changes throughout the years, including an rp with @bittykimmy where I was able to start refining her character.
It is not a g/t centric book the way the BA stories are, but there will be size differences in it at points. For anyone who wants to follow the progress as I write (which, admittedly, is slow going because of the time I spend at my job and writing BA stories, my personal addiction), be sure to visit @nightswritingcorner and look through the tag #night’s writing. Mostly I’ll be using the blog to also reblog writing advice to help my advance my skills. If I hope to turn writing into my future job, I’ll have to know what I’m doing.
