Those two may appear in a future story. The trickster is always fun to have around, and Castiel is one of my favorite characters.
As for what can break the curse… or if it can be broken, you’ll just have to wait and see!
What a winning pair of angelic brothers…
It’s perfectly possible that there will be giants, in BA or any of the AU’s!
The great thing about Supernatural is the possibilities are endless for different types of interaction with gt. The show has never had actual giants on it, but it has had a golem (who proceeded to toss Dean about twenty feet through the air), and it has had fairies (the closest we’ve gotten to a gt episode with little gnomes running around making watches aah I love that episode so much).
If you ever have a chance, the show is a ton of fun, but otherwise, the stories will keep coming here, and we do our best so that you never need to see an episode to get into the story.
I’m gonna keep wishing for more gt episodes in the future, but until then the stories shall continue! And if you’re ever craving some giant supernatural gt in the meantime, check these out (slightly more tied into the show than mine are, but I read them all myself before I knew supernatural was a thing and enjoyed them thoroughly):
Absolutely! Feel free to write anything for The Incredible Shrinking Winchester, I’d love to see what you come up with! (This was one of my most painful stories but I still love it so)
Ooo, at last someone has solved the mystery. Jacob is indeed the kid that finds Sam in a motel room. (Compared to Sam, Jacob at his 17 years of age is just a kid) Neither of them expect it, that’s for sure.
Annnd… since someone has guessed who the kid in the story is, it’s time for another sneak peek!
“Wow,” Jacob muttered aloud, his free hand nudging the little bag that now lay mostly free on his hand, part of the strap secured just as much as the tiny chest was. Two impossibly small clasps held it shut and Jacob couldn’t help the amazed smile. He poked at one of the teeny legs, amazed that the little guy was even wearing miniature jeans, denim and all.
His gaze drifted back to the little guy’s face. “What are you?” he asked, unsure if he’d even be understood. It was worth a shot.
The little guy didn’t seem to have understood Jacob’s question, judging by the way he resumed his struggles. He’d heard, definitely, because Jacob had felt him tense up from the noise. He supposed his voice might be a little loud for such tiny ears. He’d have to remember that so he didn’t freak the little guy out any more than he already was.
One of the little legs kicked at his hand. The tiniest boot Jacob had ever seen planted on one of his knuckles and pushed with all its might. He didn’t actually feel any force from it, though it was clear the tiny person was giving it his all. Some pity softened his expression. The poor guy was just so small. Jacob moved his hand away.
“Don’t worry, you’re safe,” he said, in a quieter voice than before. Hopefully it would offer some comfort to the little guy, even if he didn’t understand the words; it was still tough to tell if he could.
Jacob could feel the panicked breaths speeding in and out of the small chest pinned by his thumb. The little guy was practically hyperventilating there. And he was pushing against Jacob’s thumb for all he was worth, but again Jacob didn’t actually feel the force behind the little shoves. Still, clearly he wasn’t helping with the poor guy’s breathing, so he’d have to think of something else.
Jacob got an idea and latched onto it. He shifted his hand so it was flatter, and then used his thumb to gently nudge the small person so he was propped up against Jacob’s curled fingers like a seat. That done, he moved his thumb so it rested on the tiny shins instead, hopefully preventing any panicked flailing without constricting the little guy’s breathing.
“There, isn’t that- fuckdammit! ”
Oh, Garth. How I love him. But it’s so hard to predict his actions because it will all depend on how events play out.
After all, this is the guy who killed the tooth fairy.
So, if the smol brothers are up to shenanigans, they should be sure to duck into hiding if he’s around. If they’re in trouble, there’s a good chance he’ll help out these very strange curse victims. If it’s just Sam smol, Garth will have a Dean solidly in between him and Sam until Sam gets his overprotective big brother to chill.
It’s great to hear you enjoyed them! They are one of my favorite parts of BA to write, whether it be flashbacks of their first week or flashbacks from the time they were separated.
I can’t say for sure when / if there will be more follow up flashbacks. Each flashback connects to a specific part of the story, and the newest one is from a future storyline where Sam has a slight issue with avoiding a human walking around. Only the future will tell if more come.
Actually, the only Jacob in the Brothers Apart stories/AU’s that is from the timeline where he met up with Bowman will be the Jacob that will appear in Brothers Apart itself in a future story. Otherwise, each time you see Jacob Andris appear, it is a different Jacob who took a different path… just like how Sam and Dean are different in each one.
I think Dean might have a much easier time with Jacob if the teenager had already encountered a certain sassy sprite. These two will be butting heads right from the get-go!
“Why do you think I did it?” Dean growled at the human, his voice bouncing off the curved wall of glass he was stuck behind. He pointed up at the ceiling he couldn’t reach. “The next time I stick you in a coffee pot like the morning brew, we’ll let you make the decisions.” He crossed his arms, prepared to do what it took to outlast the human. He’d never give away the others, and he was prepared to deal with the consequences for that decision.
Jacob’s eyebrows shot up yet again. He had to wonder where the little guy was keeping all that sass stored up, because it didn’t look like it’d fit in his tiny frame. He pondered the snarky words while the little hands brushed at those tiny clothes. Every movement was so familiar, but in such a small miniature that Jacob could almost miss it if he wasn’t looking right at the little guy.
“Come on, man, I already said I’d letcha out. No need to make such a big deal out of it when you’re the one who was sneaking around in my room,” he pointed out. “What were you-” he started to ask, but his eyes flitted to the white styrofoam takeout box still resting on the table.
Man, once Dean figured out who was on his head, Sam might have some explaining to do! Of course, the little Winchester just had to watch that giant that was stomping around the forest to make sure he wasn’t going to find the sprites. Gotta keep those little guys safe!
That would end up with an interesting first encounter, and might even have Sam getting grabbed right off of Dean’s head!
I can say that as of this week, we have officially started to work on Brothers Asunder! *Throws a party* Whether or not Dean will be in it and will find his little brother, I can’t say, but it will definitely be a huge toss up between adorable fluff and angsty angst.
There’s just a few more story excerpts to share from Brothers Lost, then we’ll be switching tracks to Brothers Asunder for more fun!
Aw, that would be telling 😉
John Winchester may appear in any of the AU’s, at any time. BT is no exception, and since he’s left his two boys in the motel it can be assumed that he will eventually return to them when his case is complete.
