For @brothersapart ’s new series coming up! It’s simple and I’d make a few changes but it’s my first drawing that isn’t on paper so I think it turned out well! Poor Jacob is scared to death and Dean needs to stop looming. Everyone’s worried about Jacob ;-;
Sam can hang out on a shoulder and chill if he wants. Anyone who says different will have Dean to deal with. Do not mess!
Sam and Dean pictured here are the stars of Brothers Apart, and always ready to go.

Sam and Dean belong to Supernatural!
Another piece of art I’m working on! This one’s gonna take a while but I’m excited to see the outcome! Hint: it has something to do with @brothersapart ’s story coming up with a human, a tiny, and an even tinier tiny!
You haven’t missed any sneak peeks or excerpts! For the horror story, we’re avoiding any of the actual horror parts in any of the peeks, and the story was written before we started the daily excerpts.
…Though we do have commissions that are based on just vague ideas or plans we have, one of this detail would be based on the actual story.
Poor everyone in this horror story! I think the only person to get off light would be…
Oh, wait. That would be telling. I’ll be good and try and keep the spoilers down. We await this story being voted in with excitement!
VoraciousPanda is an amazing artist and their style was just perfect for the picture. Give them some love for their great work and we hope to commission them again soon!
I’m not sure if we’ve made any mention of Bobby in any of the Brothers Found snippets, but I guess it’s no big secret.
Brothers Found was the first of the AUs we dreamed up, right when Lich was completed. It started out as a crack rp in skype… and then it turned into so, so much more (namely, the monstrosity of a horror story that it gave birth to and subsequent stories). Because of this, the plot is glossed over at points and Sam met Bobby in the same was as he did in Brothers Apart. Later AUs will pay more attention to these parts, but (we were excited to start the horror story so we skipped around).
Lol.
We are just as excite for it! Have a snippet to read ^-^
“I’m near the village, yeah. I’m guessing I’ll have to get over there before Bowman freaks out about squirrels or something but … well I probably won’t miss your arrival.”
“You know me,” Dean quipped lightly. “I’m just the life of the party. You know you can’t wait to see me arrive.” Despite his words, he couldn’t help but worry as well, a fact he was trying to keep hidden. Unlike Bowman, Jacob had no wings to use to escape any animals out there. And unlike Sam, he wasn’t used to being small. At least Sam could put his expert climbing skills to use finding hand- and footholds to scramble up a tree if he had to. Dean doubted Jacob would fare any better than Dean himself at that type of venture.
“You get yourself to safety, alright? We need our hunting buddies all in one piece, downsized or not. That’s what’s important here.” He moved on to packing up Sam’s belongings, a small bed and desk Bobby had found for them after discovering the small Winchester was still alive. In fact, it had been Bobby’s gentle prodding that had galvanized Dean into building a Sam-sized panic room under the seat of the Impala, so there was a safe haven for Sam and Bowman if they ever needed it. There was a variety of threats out there for guys their size, and Dean was determined to give his brother every advantage he could provide.
“Yeah, I’ll… I’ll do that,” Jacob answered uncertainly. He glanced over at the stream. There were supposedly stepping stones for the flightless sprites to cross the stream safely, but he couldn’t imagine them being easy. The sprites grew up with wings and judged their entire sense of balance on them. Jacob didn’t have that kind of advantage.
If this is a party, then where’s the beer?
True! Dean can be heavy-handed when either the situation calls for it or when he’s hot-headed and raring for a fight.
The difference here is if he does roughhouse with Sam, he could do permanent damage to his little brother, and put an end to what trust they’ve managed to scrape together. That said, I highly doubt Dean will ever win a fight in this method. The relationship between them is different in my AU than what’s on the Supernatural TV show.
On the other hand, Dean has absolutely no problem using his size against his enemies. Even Bowman, at first, had to deal with a harsher Dean than Sam anytime.
Future snippet to illustrate this:
“It wasn’t an offer,” Dean said simply. The defiant stance had no effect on his determination. “And if you don’t, you’ll just have to deal with the consequences. Simple as that.”
With a painful slowness, he curled the fingers of his hand inwards, boxing the man in. The little guy’s eyes widened and he tried to push himself away from the advancing wall. But his hands were small against even Dean’s fingertips, unable to hold them back.
Dean didn’t stop there. In short order, there was no sign that he had another human in his hand. All that was visible was Dean’s fist and the ring on his finger. The guy was completely clenched inside.
“Fuck! Let me out! ” the man bellowed, seething with the knowledge that a lot of his volume was lost to the prison encased around him. He writhed as much as he could in the extremely tight space, which didn’t say much. His arms were pinned at awkward angles to his chest and his legs could hardly move at all. Dean’s ring dug into his side mercilessly every time he shifted.
Without warning, Dean flipped his hand upside down so all that was holding the guy from dashing to the ground was Dean’s curled fingers. “This is a classic case of ‘be careful what you wish for,’ ” Dean said with a grin. His fingers loosened up a little so that the guy would be able to see the ground down below through the cracks.
With the constant struggles, Dean waited patiently until one of the man’s small legs happened into the space between his index finger and thumb. Seizing the moment, his finger pinned the leg against his thumb…
And Dean opened his hand.

Good question!
We’ve been editing the stories one by one, and doing our best to keep them even. That way, we’re prepared whatever story gets chosen, we (hopefully!) have more ready for after.
That said, once the first story of each AU concludes, we’ll go back to another poll to pick the next. We won’t have the entire AU post all at once, and this will give us the time to write more of the AUs ahead of time. More stories get added to the poll each time a story ends, and we go on from there! So it’s up to you guys what goes up. We’re handing over the reigns, if not the AU names.
Hopefully, stories forever!
The actual length of the first story for each AU:
Brothers Lost: 27 chapters
Brothers Found: 16 chapters
Brothers Adopted: 27 chapters
Brothers Apart
