They have not. Sam is not a confident swimmer after thirteen years spent at a fraction of his height. The water currents are much stronger, and it would be dangerous for him to try. He’d have to practice in a sink to even begin to relearn swimming.

A prank war hasn’t happened yet… but it is coming. Oh, it will come.
Dean will regret starting it.
Thank you so much for this 🙂
I know just what you mean. I’ve been working hard on getting better. After all, one day I dream of writing my own book and hopefully getting published. I go back and look at the older chapters of my stories, and I do get the urge to attack them with editing. It makes me grin to compare a snippet of my writing from back then to what I can do now. Not that I’m perfect now, but there’s a palpable difference in the flow and tone and overall format of the story.
And if you compare Reversal or Ounce to any of it, those poor fics ^^; they could use an overhaul.
Beth was a little girl at the time. She thought it was the coolest thing ever, like a tiny living doll. The way the Mangas think of Bree is more like she’s a pet. They just thought of it as giving their daughter a new pet. They impressed on her to keep Bree secret. Over the years, they slowly bonded together (stockholm syndrome, but at least Beth didn’t take advantage). She even did all she could to keep her brother from ever laying hands on Bree.
In line with a poll running on my deviantart page, when I run a contest based around Brothers Apart and all of its AU’s (it won’t run until January, have no fear of Christmas, sorry), how long is a good amount of time for it to run? ( either reply to this post or in an anonymous ask )
-Two months
-Three months
-Four months
?
I’m so glad to hear! It’s not just on your end… I’m constantly checking to see if I got any new asks/comments/reviews on my sites. Seeing people enjoy what I’ve written gives me the incentive to keep writing and thinking of new ideas, even at times like this where work is getting in the way of tackling a new story. And, once I get the little story put together for Brothers Together, I’ll have two different things updating during the week, along with any prompts I manage.
If Castiel is to appear in the series, it will be after Dean goes to Hell, just like in canon Supernatural.
Currently, signs point to a 50/50 chance of this series lasting long enough for this to happen.
Waking Dean
BA Canon: Chances point to yes
Timeline: Future Story
“C’mon Dean,” Sam gritted out, determined. “You need to wake up.” Giving up on the easy way, Sam kicked the cheek he was standing next to. A few more kicks to the cheek and one directed at the nose and he heard a rumbling from Dean as his brother finally started to wake up.
The next part happened too fast for Sam to react.
He’d always known Dean’s reflexes were sharp – after all, Dean had been able to catch Sam without even seeing him the first time they’d met back up not so long ago. A lifetime of hunting dangerous creatures does that to a person.
But he had no idea they were just as sharp asleep.
The second Dean’s eyes slotted open, he moved. The hand that came for Sam was lightning quick, to fast and too big for him to dodge out of the way in time. He had no choice but to curl up into a ball as he was helplessly scooped up off the bed by Dean’s thick fingers. He pulled his arms and legs in as close as he could to his body so they wouldn’t get snapped when the fingers closed tightly around him.
The huge silver ring his brother wore dug uncomfortably into his shoulder the way he was held. Sam tried his best to not squirm, afraid the movement might make Dean tighten the fist around him even more before he was fully awake and found out it was Sam he was holding. He was strong enough to crush Sam by accident if he wasn’t careful.
The whole world flipped around Sam as Dean moved, disorienting him and making his headache beat out a staccato tempo inside his skull. Sam groaned, trying to move enough to free his arm so he could rub his head and hopefully take away some of the pressure. No matter what he did, both his arms remained pinned to his side, held there by Dean’s solid grip. He could feel the hand moving, raising higher into the air as Sam’s stomach clenched with vertigo, unable to see where he was going. You would think he’d be used to this after spending the last few months with Dean, but no. Still nauseating, especially since he couldn’t see where he was being lifted to.
“Sammy?” His brother’s voice, groggy from sleep, filled the air around Sam. “Isat’chu?”
The tight grip around him loosened as Dean finally realized what he had clenched in his fist. Relieved, Sam relaxed from his huddled ball of limbs as the slightly sweaty palm under him tilted, rolling him onto his back so he was facing Dean’s worried face, bare inches away.
“Sam? What the hell are you doing? Are you alright?” A huge finger approached from the side, gently propping Sam up.
Sam rubbed his head, trying to focus his thoughts back from being discombobulated and scrambled. He wrapped an arm around the finger, using it to keep his balance while his head was still spinning.
Noticing this, Dean leaned even closer. “Shit Sam, did I hurt you?”
Sam waved Dean away, unable to meet the magnified worry in the green eyes he was suspended in front of. “I’m fine, just a little shaken.” He rubbed his head again. “Wasn’t really expecting to go for a ride just trying to wake you up.”
Sam’s family likely wouldn’t be around if something like this went down. As things are, they aren’t leaving the motel anytime soon. Out there, it’s hard to find safety. They’d have to rely completely on Dean or Bobby, and that’s a hard thing to do. Handing their safety, and the safety of their family over to a human isn’t an easy choice to make.
Sam may indeed find out his true height in Brothers Apart…
That is spot on with my line of thought.
And… Gordon Walker may appear in the series. Just sayin.’
