Jacob was only 14 when he was cursed. Older than Sam was when he was cursed, but still just a kid. At the time of the story, he’s 17, so he’s still pretty new to the curse while Sam is a veteran. That means Jacob is stuck between worlds! He still remembers pretty well what his life was like before shrinking down, but he’s also getting used to the size of everything around him.
What a time to meet a giant Dean Winchester, huh?
It’s an adorable story idea (sadly, Oscar’s mom was gone by this point in time, so she wouldn’t be around to help the boys out). We may do something along the lines of this in the future. There’s a few ideas hopping around for Oscar and the bros, both in my ‘verse and Neon on her own, so you never know what’s going to happen!
For the deviantart contest, there are 9 entries, on the tumblr side there are 8!
This year had an absolutely wonderful turnout, and I look forward to handing out the prizes!
He has not tried to scale down Dean, but he’s scaled up on more than one occasion. Mostly because Dean just gives him a hand if he wants to go all the way to the ground, but has learned to not just grab Sam if he’s climbing up unless he feels like being scolded.
Sam could experiment with techniques like that around their room, but a lot of his climbing happens in places he’s never been in before because of the nature of their job. So he wouldn’t have the chance to set up a zip-line.
Of course, while in their room Sam could dive bomb Dean’s head with that.
X3 It’s great to hear that! I was thrilled to get Bowman involved with the brothers. They make such an interesting combination, with no end to the sass shot back and forth. It’s why we decided to have him in the tenth story, a nice special edition.
Bowman will be back again in the future in Brothers Apart, and of course, there’s endless possibilities in the AUs we’ve designed. Not to mention, the next time he and the brothers run into each other, Jacob will be around to watch out for his sprite buddies (I can just imagine how he’ll take it when he finds out Dean kidnapped Bowman at first ^^;).
Ah, it’s definitely so great to hear that you are enjoying it! So much work has gone into this collab and it’s been a great experience to be able to see how my Bowman deals with the Winchesters. It turns out he sasses just as much but he can still get the job done. I can’t wait to add Jacob to the mix, and I hope you enjoy the AUs we have lined up. They are works of a lot of time and effort (and also many feels).
Thanks again!
What a prank to play on his older brother, especially if Dean doesn’t know it’s there at first!
Yes, Jacob finds Sam in both AUs. But to say that these two storylines are the same would be saying that Brothers Apart and Brothers Together are the same because Dean found Sam in both.
Brothers Found is placed in 2005 just like Brothers Apart. The storyline of these two will be similar. Sam is out in the rooms trying to find food for his family and he gets caught, only instead of Dean finding him, it’s a complete stranger, an unsuspecting, seventeen year old Jacob Andris.
Brothers Unexpected is placed in 1993, the same week of Sam’s curse. He is ten, and runs away from Walt and Mallory Watch. They can’t get to him before he gets caught by a young Jake, who is only four-going-on-five.
In other words, they are completely different plots and completely different style stories. If they were the same, we wouldn’t write them. Just like we shouldn’t write any more Brothers Together if it was the same as Brothers Apart, right?
Oh, I don’t think you ever have to worry about spamming my tumblr. I love hearing from you. In fact, a big reason I got the tumblr originally was to let people who didn’t have a da (and those who did) get more involved in the storyline. When I run a poll to decide what story comes next, votes can be sent in through the asks on tumblr along with the poll itself on da.
I used to stay away from fan fiction myself, but always found myself finding stories about these brothers, Sam and Dean, when I was reading gt online. The more I read the more I wanted, so in the end, I took the plunge one day to find out what these two characters looked and sounded like, and I never came back. The show is entertaining, and I never get tired of the brothers or anyone else on the cast. So if you ever have a chance, I’ll always recommend it.
(I’m so emotionally invested in these brothers it’s not even funny)
Getting this message on Monday morning had to be the best way to start off my day! You are just as amazing, and you put a smile right on my face.
That means the world to me to hear! I’ve tried hard to make the stories able to stand on their own, especially the Brothers Apart series and all the AUs that are based around it. Plus, the OCs in the stories are so fun to have around, both mine and Neon’s. They really seem to have minds of their own somedays.
Don’t worry about the stories ever running out. Even at three posts a week, we probably have around a year’s worth of stories we’re writing/editing/working on, and always more on the way! And honestly, since we’ve cried over some of the parts, you’ll probably feel a few tears coming up in them.
It did occur to them, in fact. As said before, they had to awkwardly ask if he needed meat to survive. They would have gone out to get him bugs or worms if they needed to, despite not being used to catching them for food. Luckily for them, they didn’t need to make that adjustment. Wellwood is plentiful with all kinds of non-meat foods that provide the nutrients a young Sam could need.
And lets remember that Sam isn’t a big meat-eater like his brother is! It would be easier for him to adapt to a steady diet of roots, vegetables, mushrooms and fruits, along with Sam and Bowman’s favorite honeycomb!
