With Dean’s particular skill set, that’s never been an issue. If he ever locks himself out, he can break back in without a problem. He’s a master at picking locks and stealing cars, and now he’s got a four inch brother who can even get into the walls and practically vanish if he needs it. (You can definitely lock yourself out of a motel but the front desk can usually get you in without a problem )
They will get in, I guarantee it.
Well… I can’t really promise there won’t be any major character deaths.
And crying. There will be crying because I have been crying at some parts. Also, writing the horror story actually gave me and @neonthewrite nightmares. So there’s that, too.
I actually lived up to my nightmares name at last.
Mallory, one of my favorite characters to write, died off in the first story. I was happy to be able to bring her back in AU fics, but then we went and made her cry, too, so now I feel guilty all over again.
Mallory sat herself on the foam of the bed she shared with Walt. The warmth of the blankets she’d lovingly crafted for her family couldn’t touch the shard of ice that had lodged in her heart.
As her tall boys fought, ignoring the threat of any humans nearby hearing them, she sat there and cried and watched her family fracture.

Nothing’s ever out of the question. I’m sure Sam would suggest it to them at some point. The borrowers in the walls have a lot of trust issues with humans, though, so getting all of them to come with Dean would be the hard part.
Offering them a life where they could live without relying on humans would be a wonderful thing. Much safer than a motel.
Oh my, I think you just made my day, ha! This was wonderful to get!
I never would have thought of watching Supernatural without reading other Supernatural gt stories, so I’m glad to return the favor! I watched an episode when I discovered I really liked those two characters, and I really just wanted to know what they sounded like (I couldn’t go too far without stumbling over pictures of them).
The rest is history.
I’m so glad you love the stories and the rest of the characters! I don’t think I could write without them. The world is flat without some variety, and I aim to get it right whether I’m playing around in my own Aeternum or dipping into the Supernatural cast and dragging Bobby out for a story or two. And my god, Walt… he’s come so much farther than I ever thought he would. Though, to be honest, he has a tendency to do his own thing and I swear I keep thinking he’s going to get himself killed one of these days.
It’s also fun in the AUs to see how a character can be tweaked by different circumstances so they react differently. So, so much fun.
You put a huge grin on my face!

Thank you for your words of support!
It was hard, but my editor and I had vastly differing opinions on things, and because of that we’d argue about them and I discovered that when this happened, any desire to write would vanish like it was never there. So, I cut things off completely for myself, and I know they probably see things differently. I was tired of dealing with writer’s block constantly, and being talked about behind my back for ‘not listening’ about stuff to put for my own damn story, and it was for my own sanity.
Now, I’ve got three different editors, depending on which series is being worked on at the time.
The other series are not yet ready for editing, and when they are we’ll have one of our loyal editors take a look at them. Because it was posted as we wrote it, Brothers Together has no editor and each part is posted as-is.
Brothers Apart won’t ever be abandoned, that’s for sure, but once A Lich of Sense is finished posting we’ll let one of the other AU’s shine in order to let me have time to work on the future stories. Don’t worry at all, anyone, all AU’s have my ‘verse style brothers, just in different interaction types, like Brothers Lost, where they are both smol (and I love them so)

Sorry about that!
As much as I love Archive for its ability to group stories by series, it also mashes everything together if you search by works. On my deviantart page, I’ve actually crafted a listing in order, so you know where each story goes. Found here.
Also, if you go to the Brothers Apart tumblr on an actual web browser, not the app, my lovely cowriter @neonthewrite took the time to put a place for all the stories.
The Stories link will take you to a page that has all the stories listed, and you can toggle between AUs and prompts, and there’s a section with all the upcoming sneak peeks as well. Currently, only Brothers Apart and Brothers Together are listed because the other AUs haven’t been released. This isn’t because we don’t want to! I just can’t physically manage more than three weekly updates. Soon, the other AUs will appear there as they are posted. We honestly can’t wait to hear what everyone thinks.
Daily excerpts are not meant to be confusing, and they aren’t meant to go with any of the stories that are posted. Those are simply a way for everyone to see what we’re working on currently. It’s little snippets from our daily writing, geared to avoid spoilers but letting people know we’re hard at work. So far, we’ve had excerpts from Brothers Lost and Brothers Asunder, both series that have not yet been released.
Read all daily excerpts from the beginning here.
The 2016 Brothers Apart contest has been extended to April 15th, 2016. All entries have until 12pm est on April 15th. If there are any issues with this date, let me know by email, note or pm me on tumblr!
Extension applies to both contests, deviantart and tumblr.
Bleh. I’m sick. So if the commentary is a little lacking this time, it is because my brain is a fuzz >.<
Be careful when you’re asking things on the internet, because the people on the other end will have no tone of voice or facial expressions to go on. All they have are the words in front of them to interpret, and that’s how the ask came across.
For the future of BA, there’s a few good plans in motion.

We love all your support! Trust me, all the comments/asks/reviews we get for our stories/prompts/series give us a huge boost in inspiration! We have many plans so you won’t have to worry about us stopping any time soon!
