Thank you so much!
We love to share our stories, it’s a big part of why we write! I hope you go for it! Writing is addicting, and it’s impossible to stop once you start!
And stick around for plenty more stories 😉 We love hearing from you.

Jacob will definitely be processing things for some time after all that. You are absolutely right, so much fear and pain doesn’t just go away overnight. In fact, that was the trickster’s goal all along – a lesson can’t stick if it’s forgotten right away!
The issue is that Jacob tries really really hard to remain chill all the time. You can even see it in a few instances in Jacob in Wonderland, where he hides his worries in order to keep up that demeanor. It’s important to him that he’s the collected one, and he definitely wouldn’t want to be the one to make everyone else worry about him. They already did enough of that during those events, and they went through their own traumas.
No, it’s best (in his mind) to work through it on his own, and maybe talk about it after he’s done some of his own healing.
Well, at the very least, Jacob did not come out of those adventures unscathed. In the story itself, we saw how many physical injuries he tallied up by the end, all from the simple fact of being too small for the world (and the occasional nudge from our favorite trickster).
For now, everything looking back to normal has a warped perspective for Jacob. He spent enough time with everything so big that now it all looks weird and small to him. Once that shock wears off, he could very well show signs of agoraphobia. He’ll be checking the corners a lot more diligently after this.
It’s not that Bobby is necessarily the worst option out there. He has a very bad track record with little guys so far in every story I’ve written him in (beginning with his original canon appearance in Bowman of Wellwood). The guy thinks that being bigger = being in charge. Combine that with seeing his normally 6′5″ friend at such a small size, and there would be a lot of teasing. He’d most likely be a bit too harsh for such a little guy before he stopped to listen.
Sam, being the independent and confident little guy that he is, would probably annoy Bobby a bit (Why isn’t he acting at least a little intimidated???). They’d need Jacob there to keep him focused.
The BA bros would be amaze to meet Oscar! He’s done so much, surviving on his own that long!
They would certainly offer, since they’re helping so many others relocate at the time. Oscar wouldn’t have to live on his own, and he’d have more of a support system than he does at his current place, where the others live so far apart.
Plus, Sam always can drop in on their friend and make sure he’s doing okay in his new home.
The cutest and dorkiest interactions ever would happen is what. You have the biggest teddy and the tiniest mouse, trying to figure each other out. Honestly, once Jacob figures out how scary he is to such a little guy, he’s completely flop. He’d work so hard to try to get some trust, even just have Oscar talk to him for a while.
From there, he’s got a task of getting Oscar to actually leave the only place he’s ever known. I’m not sure if he would be able to do it in just one visit, but the best selling point he has is the cooking back home. All that warm, hearty food that Jacob’s mom makes would do wonders for little Oscar’s health!
There is actually the beginnings of an AU like this in the works already, with the first story posted over on my writing blog: here
Mostly Jacob will have to put up with being on the other end of Sherlock’s pocket magnifier. He’s so much littler than all the others, even Oscar! He can probably narrow down a few possibilities of his ordeals if there are signs of poor Jake’s wear and tear over the course of JIW, and he’ll be interested to know just how he got so very smol. Jake’s in for gentle pokes and a lot of examining and zero personal space until Sherlock gets shooed away from him.
At this point, extra tiny Jacob is more than Done over the fact that he’s tiny again, after all the crap he went through before he was graciously allowed to be tol again. If not for a certain Sam likely scooping him up into a satchel, he’d most likely just weather Sherlock’s attention with the most exhausted, exasperated silence.
Seriously. He thought he was done with all this.
Aww, how cute!
I don’t quite have anything with a harvest mouse yet lined up for Sam, but he does make a few friends with some house mice while he’s helping Dean on a case…
Sam is a BIG fan of mother henning his Jacob, it would be a struggle to let the little guy go free to wander!
Jacob might be fine with hanging out with other little guys. They would at least understand and help him out. There’d be a lot of tol folks around, though, and after all the grief he dealt with without Sam or Bowman as a buffer, he’d be sticking close to one of them if he could. He could chill with Oscar.
Yeah, there’s not much chance that Sam will let his tiny lil Jacob anywhere close to a giant among giants. He’s had enough trouble keeping Dean out of trouble with the little guy!
With the sizes in question, the biggest Jacob is unlikely to be able to see the tiny Jake without some sort of aid to help his sight. It’s a huge, huge difference between them!
