Actually, this is an idea we’ve had floating about since last winter, and I think now’s a good time to reveal the AU! We’ve got a plot planned out (and many, many cutes because it starts off with Weechesters and kiddo Oz), and just gotta get ourselves moving on it!
Even if the brothers aren’t cursed, this still occurs in a Brothers Apart AU, with the lore and characters we all know and love.
Brothers United– By chance, Sam and Dean go to Knights Inn instead of Trails West, and find themselves pushed into a world they never dreamed existed within their own.
He had to admit, these guests were unusual. Two younger humans, one of them a teenager, called the room their temporary home. Oscar hadn’t heard an adult in there since they checked in. For some reason, the two boys were on their own. It was kind of like Oscar, in a small way. They had their routines and they left the room during the days like most humans did. They didn’t have to mutter absently to themselves like Oscar, since they had each other to bicker with.
That wasn’t the difference that emboldened him to sneak into their room, though. Unlike Oscar, these strange young humans had food.
His entrance to this particular room came through a vent low in the wall. He had already waited a long time, watching for a chance. It had come when the older boy, a loud and confident type, had announced he was going to get them some dinner. Oscar wished absently that he could have given his own order just like the younger human kid, but it was imperative that they never know he was there.
If they found out he existed, they could capture him. They could hurt him or keep him trapped, a punishment for sneaking around and trespassing in their room. It never would matter that he was born in the motel. To a human, he was a pest invading on their space.
Despite the worry, he couldn’t ignore what he’d spotted under the table from a different vent. After the older boy took off, leaving the younger one sitting at the table, Oscar had hopped out of the vent and scurried under the dresser. From there, he had a straight shot to the dropped crumbs under the table, leftover from a bag of trail mix. He never even had to put himself in sight of the human, though he was as silent as ever as soon as he emerged from the other side of the dresser.
The human’s foot tapped against the floor absently, and high above him the underside of the table echoed with the scratching of a pencil. Oscar swallowed drily and steeled his nerves. The human was busy. He couldn’t see him and he wouldn’t hear him walking on the carpet fibers. This wasn’t even the first time he’d snuck under the table like this.
The vibration in the floor from the tapping foot was a drumbeat for his nerves. Oscar snatched up a discarded piece of granola, easily half the size of his head. Some days, that was enough for his one meal of the day.
This time, as he stuffed the food into his bag, he had a chance to grab more. A raisin, smaller than most, caught his eye near one of the table legs. He snapped that up, too, and it disappeared into his cloth bag.
He was ready to leave and dive back into the safety of the walls when he spotted it. A splash of color against the drab, faded pattern of the carpet. Oscar’s eyes were wide as he stared at it, and the tremors in the floor fell away for a moment. He’d never, ever seen candy left out before. He knew without a doubt that he was staring at a dropped piece of something more flavorful than he’d ever had in his life.
The only problem was it wasn’t under the table.
He glanced over to the tapping shoe again. The candy was out on the floor, a foot and a half and no farther from the table leg. It was on the side of the table where the human sat in his enormous chair, but so far the other kid hadn’t moved at all.
Did he dare risk it?
This AU is full of cutes! We’ve got a full-sized Sammy and Dean, paired up with the smolest of the smols! Thank @justanothergiant for the wonderful work on the commission, they made the story come to life before it even exists!
@nightmares06 tagged me forever and ever ago, and I ought to be putting content on this here blog of mine ^^; So here we go!
Rules: Post these rules. Post 8 facts about your character. Tag 8 other characters. Post their names along with their creators’ avatars.
1. Stan (full name: Stanley Aaron Baker) is a pseudo-freelance agent who works alongside John Watson, Sherlock Holmes, and Sam and Dean Winchester in Brothers Consulted, my collab with nightmares06.
2. His character took us both by surprise. He was initially just going to be some suit to get the boys from A to B, but his personality shone out of nowhere and now he’s here to stay!
3. He is 27 years old and 6′ even, the closest in age to Dean out of the Baker Street crew.
4. Against the odds, he and Dean Winchester hit it off when they first meet, immediately developing an easygoing yet playful rapport that puts them both at ease when interacting with someone so different in size.
5. Stan is Irish by descent, but he was born and raised in London. He and his family in Ireland are close, so occasionally a bit of the accent will slip into his speech when he’s not thinking about it.
6. Much of Stan’s family served in the military. He grew up formally and informally training in combat with his elders, even his older brothers, but never served himself. Even so, he is a natural born leader and he carries a militaristic air when he’s on a job that requires those skills.
7. Though he keeps it a secret from the more conservative members of his family, Stan is engaged to his long-term partner. His fiancee’s name is Nathan Sullivan, and though he is a civilian, Stan keeps him up to speed on the less confidential aspects of his work. He knows Nathan would never betray him.
8. Stan and Nathan own a German shepherd. Her name is Juno and she sheds a lot and they love her.
Just a brief note for all our lovely loyal followers!
We’re actually going to change up excerpts from what we’re currently writing to something we’ve already written, for a story.
Why?
Because both night and neon are obsessively Legend of Zelda fans, and with the new game Breath of the Wild coming out March 3rd, we are going to go out on a limb and predict that writing may be slowing down after the Nintendo Switch launch.
Fear not!
During this time, we’ve still got plenty of stories to post, so if we take a brief writing break, we won’t lose any ground. And we also think you could all use a little treat…
So we’re going to post excerpts from the Horror Story!
We’ll do our best to avoid spoilers as usual, but once the current excerpts from #teome have all finished posting, you will get to see some extra special excerpts from the horror story.
(( I was tagged in a post by @ghostquack over on deviantart here, but I decided to move it to tumblr since my journal is taken up by the contest I’m running! ))
Rules: Post these rules. Post 8 facts about your character. Tag 8 other characters. Post their names along with their creators’ avatars.
Moira is the adopted sister of Sam and Dean Winchester in the collab I’m doing with @borrowedtimeandspace, Brothers Consulted.
At eighteen years of age, she’s the youngest sibling in the family, so Sam and Dean always look out for her.
She’s 100% British, but her exposure to Sam and Dean for the majority of her life means that her accent occasionally picks up an American lilt.
With two older brothers around to help her get into trouble, she’s more of a tomboy than anything, always ready to go exploring.
After running into a kitten that set off Dean’s allergies (Stricken Sneezes), Moira grew fond of the cat as it aged. She goes back to visit from time to time to give him a treat or two that she found, and gives him scritches. She named him Wheezer for what he managed to do to Dean that first day.
She wears a pin by her side for protection. She won’t fight and kill a rat like Sam or Dean will, but jabbing at its eyes is often enough to deter an attack.
Dean gave her fighting lessons, just like Sam, from an early age to ensure she was able to handle herself.
Her family often insists she wears boots, but she’s a fan of slippers because it makes it easy to walk silently, and her dark hair lets her blend into the shadows.
