For the safety of Bowman and the other wood sprites of Wellwood, I’ve chosen not to disclose this information. 😉
The closest approximation I can give you is the American Midwest. It’s definitely a familiar sort of place for the Winchesters, since they seem to spend a lot of their time in the middle of the country. I’m sure I’ve dropped clues in the various AUs we have written so far, but I will not be able to confirm or deny any guesses. Sorry, anon!
XD Aww, that’s an adorable image! I can just imagine how scolded Jacob will be when he ‘bucks’ Dean off and the little guy goes tumbling. Sam will snicker at how offended Dean is that he only lasted ten seconds, clearly he’s going to need more practice. Dean will not forgive Sam if he stays on longer when it comes time for his turn.
Dean still loves those westerns, even all these years later.
We don’t mind if the story is translated, but naturally provide credit, link to the original stories and also a link to this tumblr. Also, send a link to
brothersapart.spn@gmail.com, so we can share the translation with anyone else who might speak that language as their primary!
Oh, I’m so glad! This is definitely one of our more emotionally charged stories, especially with the blunt way they approached Dean! There’s more feels ahead, and thank you for your support! We love hearing what everyone thinks of these chapters :3
(Please Dean, Jacob is but a teddy bear who got a little overexcited, don’t hurt him. He was so excited to meet you and brought Sam all that way.)
XD Cute idea, but I doubt Jacob would want his friends that close to him while he’s so huge. He can barely see where they are, nevermind feel them climbing him. He’d be terrified of hurting the little guys.
And now we have three Deans bickering with each other about who’s world this is and all of them want to be in charge, especially the smol one.
Human sized Sam would just have no evens at any of this.
Rumsfeld would totally demand scritches and love from Jacob. Even if he can only use one finger to do it (and be very careful!), the pup has declared Jacob his scritcher.
Jacob will probably be pretty surprised to find a dog the size of a wee mousie around him, either guarding the junkyard or demanding love and attention.
Sadly, in canon, at the point of the story Bobby no longer has Rumsfeld watching his junkyard, so Rumsfeld won’t be around. (Though that doesn’t stop us from imagining him around!)
I think it’s best if we let Jacob answer this one…
Jacob Andris’ heart skipped a beat. His eyes widened at the sight of two normal humans standing at the opposite edge of the clearing. He still hadn’t gotten used to how small everyone looked now.
They’re not small. I’m the giant.
Not too many hikers made it up this far, and even fewer would likely try, now that there were rumors everywhere about the terrible, man-eating giant living somewhere among the cliffs. Jacob usually tried not to go walking around too much, since he knew he left a very noticeable trail as he broke frail branches away just by brushing by them.
It was hard to get enough food to sustain his new size. He had found a young mulberry tree in his wanderings of the higher slopes. He’d hoped to shake free enough of the small fruit to matter, and was considering chewing an entire branch to get some fruit when he heard it.
A voice. Turning to look at them allowed him to spot the gleam of a gun just in time. These were no normal hikers. They weren’t dressed for it, and they were armed.
He knew this would come eventually. Rumors would spread about a monster, and people would come looking for the glory of taking it down.
God. Everyone’s so scared of me, he lamented. He knew these guys wouldn’t listen any more than the others had. People took one look at his size and didn’t even bother trying to listen to him when he spoke. His voice could shake the trees.
He really had become something of a monster, wittingly or not.
Maybe next time!
In the last poll, we had 3 first installments, and 1 continuation. In the next poll, we won’t be adding anything to give those stories a chance of gettting voted in, but after that you’ll see more continuation stories added than first installments. The next Brothers Lost story is all edited and ready for posting, so there won’t be any delay there.
Really, the only story I’m worried about dominating the polls and I’m trying to avoid it shouldering the others out is Brothers Found, because the horror story is quite a bit longer than anything else we’ve ever written. We want the other series’ to have a chance to get started before it steamrolls over us XD
(Plus BL is my fave and I want those dorks to shine)
( Figured I’d combine all of these into one post since they all go together, really )
You got it! The bad guy for #coth is none other than Logan Guthrie, the main antagonist of Fairy Tales: Bowman of Wellwood! For anyone who’s read that story, you’ll know that he’s pretty irrational when it comes to the sprites, and now… it’s time to find out exactly what would happen if we put him up against none other than Dean Winchester in a fight for the Wellwood forest.
As for
#coth, for each story excerpt we put up, the second tag on it is the acronym of the story name. For example, we have #trnt for all excerpts for The Road Not Taken. It makes it easy for me to organize a link for anyone to check out certain story excerpts, and it’s also a hint at the story names that might appear in the poll.
Which brings us to the last question! Normally, we’re not going to share the story name ahead of time, but today I’ll make an exception. I’m very proud of this name (we came a long way from the beginning when the names were ‘Family Ties’ and ‘Chasing Family’). Logan and Dean will be starring together in Clash of the Hunters!
Of course, you still don’t know which AU this will take place in 😉 There’s so many choices with a tall Dean and a small Sam.
