Sam might have had a bit of an adjustment period with technology, but both brothers agree he’s a natural. He’s already reprogrammed Dean’s computer and he now has a cell phone of his own. Not that it’ll fit in his back pocket, but that’s not what matters.
He should really warn Dean when he changes things on that computer…
Back in the time that this fic takes place, Sam is only 10 and Dean is 14. This means Dean stands only 5′6″ tall as opposed to his 6′1″ adult self, and Sam has been downsized to 2.6 inches verses his adult 4 inches. (Also known as 4′2″ and 6′4″)
All pictures from Home of the Nutty.
If Sam gets his size back for a bit or gets to see Dean eye to eye, he will not let big brother ever forget who’s the tallest between them. Of course, if he ends up back at his normal size, he’ll probably get buttoned up in a pocket if he keeps poking the bear.
In line with there being a full-fledged story in development for the Dean Rescues Sam AU, I’m also renaming it Brothers Together after a friend suggested it. If you have any asks/prompts for the AU, feel free to submit them. They may possibly be incorporated into the story in development. Standard prompt rules apply.
Also, AO3’s story set up will be adjusted to have this as a separate series.
Whoever wrote in this prompt, you win in prompt ideas! This is going to be an entire, full fledged story! You sparked so much creativity with this :3
Story coming soon! (writing it will take time, but it’s going to be worth it)
Anyone have a guess as to who he’s going to run into for other borrowers?
BA Canon: Yes
Timeline: After The Golden Touch
Sam groaned, doubling over. His bottlecap shifted far enough on the pillow to tip, spilling the Coke all over the plush white surface. It spread out a dark stain.
Dean poked his head out of the bathroom, concern on his face at the quiet moaning. “Sam, is everything…”
He spotted the doubled-over form on the pillow. “Sam!” Dean was over at the bed in an instant.
Sam felt himself fall onto his back, thrown off balance from the sight of Dean growing so large, so fast. He blinked up at his older brother looming overhead for a few seconds before curling up again in pain.
It was so all-encompassing he didn’t even pay any mind to the two hands that cupped carefully around him, slowly edging under his body. Sam was lifted up into the air, finding himself level with concerned green eyes.
A finger brushed against his arms, trying to coax him out of his crumpled position. “Sam, did you drink the soda?”
“Uhhh… maybe. W…why?”
Dean’s eyes crinkled at the corners, and he moved his hand so Sam could lay flat. “I think maybe next time we should wait for it to go flat.”
Sam buried his face in the thick, soft skin underneath. He felt a burp come up, lessening the pressure in his middle.
“I think maybe you’re right.”
Lucky for Dean, he’s quite a bit older for Sam. He’d been living on his own for a few years when Sam caught him, and wouldn’t see Walt or Mallory right after his capture. They’d find out when he wanted to approach them with it… which with Dean, could be at any time. He’d wait long enough to be sure Sam wasn’t a threat to anyone, then go talk to them.
Sam and Walt tend to explode at each other, Dean and Walt have a mutual respect for each other. So the dynamics of the family is a lot different in either universe
Yep, he can get possessed, but luckily he has a secret weapon. Since, yeah, he’d definitely too small for a tattoo. Before leaving the motel in Schism, Walt gave both brothers a ring with an anti-possession symbol burned into it. So Sam and Dean, so long as they wear the leather rings, can’t be possessed.
Excerpt from Adventures at Bobby’s, arriving officially on October 30th
Heaving a sigh, Dean trudged back up the stairs to the house, intending to find Sam and let him know the good news. They might even be able to head off on the search for their next case as soon as tomorrow. There was a definite bounce in his step at that thought as he came into the kitchen.
“Sam!” Dean called out. He took a few steps in, spotting Bobby at the table buried under research for other hunters. “You seen Sam?”
Bobby frowned up at him as he finished paging through his latest tome. “Last I saw, him an’ Rumsfeld headed out to see you,” Bobby stated pointedly.
Dean felt a bit of worry start to trickle at the back of his mind. They’d come to see him? He’d never even seen Sam outside. “When was that?”
“ ‘Bout an hour ago,” Bobby said. He had to cut himself off as he grabbed a phone, switching to his FBI persona. “Willis, FBI…”
Dean left him on his own, going to search the house. Sam couldn’t have gone far. Neither of them had been outside when he’d finished up, so they must have gone back in with Dean unresponsive. He shook his head ruefully. Had he really been that intent on the car?
The worry started to blossom into an all out fear as his search of the house turned up nothing. “Sam!” he called out, pounding from room to room in one last sweep. There was no way Sam would miss his stomping around up there. There was still no response from brother or dog.
Dean practically flew past Bobby, who was still on the phone arguing with the local authority of some town or the other. He stumbled down the steps, glancing around the yard with a bit of panic starting to show in his expression.
“Sam!” he called out, practically praying at this point to see the dog perk his head up, Sam snickering nearby at Dean’s disquiet.
But there was nothing.
Dean expanded his search. He weaved his way around all of the junked cars that were piled up in the area. All he could see was the dangers out there for Sam. A car could shift position and crush the small hunter and he’d never find him… a hawk could dive down… raccoons could slip in from the fields…
“SAM! ”
