And we have our winning guess(es)!
Out in the natural beauty of the Sylvan Lake State Park, a camper’s gone missing and is presumed dead at the same time as rumors about a honest to god giant appearing in the forest to stalk hikers and hunters. Sam and Dean will need to unravel the mystery and keep their wits about them to solve this case.
There will be a sneak peek tonight at 6pm est!
X3 Tiny Jacob is just too cute for his own good. And the Wellwood would be in for quite a surprise if the canon brothers ever found it. They are not as smol-friendly!
It’s not these ideas… but we’ve mused on both multiple times, so in the future you may see them come up.
In BA, it actually happened a bit different. Sam’s known about Dean being leery of heights since they were kids. They used to climb trees behind Bobby’s (or rather, Sam would climb trees and Dean would have to chase him up).
It didn’t take Sam long to figure out the higher he went, the longer he got to stay up there.
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?
It is a crossover with @neonthewrite‘s series, Fairy Tales, but it is not an official crossover yet because she has not published yet. She does intend to send the story in the future to a publishing house, so we all can cross our fingers that these bbys will become their own lovely book series! I’ll even cross my toes.
Well, they never really do seem to expect the size of the other in any of the AUs. This story will certainly take a turn that no one was expecting!
So far, it’s been a secret, but you asked so nicely we’ll let everyone know :3
The story with extra smol Jacob is found in Brothers Found, so this tiny little guy is used to standing at a full 6′5″ tall normally! He’s really not prepared for what happens – and he doesn’t even shrink to just over an inch at the start. It begins with him ending up ‘sprite-sized,’ as Bowman so eloquently puts it.
Jacob hesitated before taking that last step and leaning on SEND; up until now, he’d merely had a view of trees and birds and squirrels at his new (hopefully not permanent) size. Calling Dean meant he’d be asking someone over six feet tall to come to his aid. With Jacob standing just over four inches, that would a huge shock.
But, he had to stop and remind himself, Dean was probably the best person to trust with this situation. Dean’s younger brother, Sam, was this size, after all. Not from the same thing, as he understood it (thankfully, since they had never found any leads on getting Sam back to his natural size), but still. Dean knew how to deal with smaller people better than anyone else. The guy would probably give Jacob endless shit about it (especially since Jacob had finally passed him in height), but if anyone in the world could help, it was Dean and Sam Winchester.
“Well? Prove that it works!” Bowman said, impatient as he stared at the device. Even when he’d seen Jacob using the phone, he never had a great angle on the object in action. He was convinced that Jacob was either joking with him, or that the device ran by magic. As Jacob pressed a button with a weird green symbol, Bowman watched the phone with eager curiosity. At least it was a momentary distraction from the fact that one of his best friends was almost a twentieth of his usual gigantic size.
Ah, y’know, I had never really considered a meeting between those two before. They’re from such different worlds. Bowman’s out there in the forest and Oscar is safely tucked away in his motel room walls. Naturally, it’d be the Winchester bros that brought them together, if they met.
It’d probably be a pretty laid back meeting, at least as far as their usual goes. Both of them would appreciate meeting another smol for once. They’d probably try to look out for each other. I can imagine Oscar would be jealous of those wings.
Writing is just as addicting, and I hope we never stop!
So far, replies are leaning towards posting after Salt Lines, so long as we finish editing the stories in time.
These are all really interesting guesses from the last few days (I’ve been overwhelmed with work or I’d have posted them sooner), but any guesses with just Sam and Dean won’t hit the mark. I’m going to add them to the list of guesses later on and if anyone is ever interested in playing around with the ideas let me know. I don’t mind seeing people play around in the BA worlds. Who knows, in the future I might drabble one or two myself.
