–To vote, send in an ask. Anonymous voting is allowed, but remember if any votes are spammed, anonymous asks won’t be counted. Voting will also be enabled on deviantart shortly.

The poll closes Friday, October 21st at 6pm est to give us time to prepare the story for posting. Be sure to get your vote in before then! Once it’s over, no votes will be accepted.

The only way to find out for sure which storyline each story is from is to vote it in and see!

–Special note: Brothers Consulted, the horror story and the giant Jacob story are not a part of this poll. All will come in time.

The reason we love this AU so much is it’ll be following both brothers as they grow up– completely separate! So Sam and Jacob will be growing up together, and Jacob’s parents will (of course) be involved in the storyline, since Jake’s only a wee 5 year old, not to mention Sam’s interaction with any friends that come around, if he’s allowed to see them. Then, Dean will run into Oscar on his own, and John Winchester will certainly be involved in their end. For the rest, we’ll have to wait and see!

To take one line of thought, Sam can’t miss what he’s never had.

On the other hand, he’s also going to be a teenage guy, and if I know teenagers in general (and Sam in particular, as we saw the huge streak of independence he has in the show), he’s not going to want to be carried everywhere. He’s going to find a way around it, just like he did in Brothers Apart, and just like he does in Brothers Asunder.

What Oscar becomes in the future will be all up to him, but he’s sure to want to watch after his Dean if he gets into any trouble. It isn’t likely he’ll ever stop being shy, since that’s an innate part of his nature, as much as Dean is stubborn and headstrong even when he’s not quite four inches tall, but there will be a definite effect on him from being around Dean, just like there was in BT when Oscar met Sam and Dean both.

For the rest, we’ll have to see what the future holds!
