Dean does, and hopefully Sam gets better. He just needs time after everything he went through and I’m sure Dean understands that. Sam appreciates it all even when he can’t show it.
Coming up with a present for that tall brother of his will be quite a project, that’s for sure.

Summary:(Written in the “Brothers Apart” AU created by nightmares06. This story takes place sometime between First Interlude and Home. I suggest reading at least the first in that series before reading this. 🙂 )
Dean and his tiny brother Sam are having trouble solving a case involving several missing children. Little do they know, another tiny person like Sam has been keeping an eye on them, curious about the strange pair.
This story delves into what it must be like to be one of the throwaway side characters in any given episode of Supernatural.
The winner of last year’s contest 🙂
After two months spent waiting for Sam’s arm to heal, both brothers are getting cabin fever. An unusual string of natural disasters a state over gets them back on the road with a unique case.
First story in Season Two!

Oh yes, definitely! Sam is stuck with a brother who loves to flirt, there’s no question. This should show up in the future, once I get a good flirting setup (being ace, I’m not the best at the flirt, that’s for sure).
Sam would be stuck in there, grumbling the entire time. He can only do so much from a pocket if there’s a girl around Dean, after all. Can’t let her figure out he’s got a pint-sized brother squirreled away after all.
I might not have done any flirting (yet!), but a buddy of mine, neonthebright, actually wrote a fic based on Brothers Apart, and here’s a little passage of Sam stuck with his flirtatious brother:
The girl at the front desk didn’t look to be any older than Dean. That was a stroke of good luck. He put on his most winning smile and sauntered up to the desk, leaning an elbow on it casually. “Hey there, miss,” he greeted her amicably. In his pocket, Sam put his hand over his face with a sigh. You’re here to work, not flirt, Dean, he thought, though he knew he would probably never talk that habit out of his brother.
She smiled slowly, the look of someone caught off guard. His smile had definitely disarmed her. Still got it, Dean thought. “Hello, sir. How can I help you? Are you here to visit someone, or are you a new volunteer?” She almost sounded hopeful.
“Visiting,” Dean answered. “I’m looking for Belinda Walters. Can ya tell me where her room is?”
If you want to read more, check out the fic! It takes place right after the First Interlude:

Now that Season One of Brothers Apart is over, the boys will have more obstacles to face and will need to work together as a team like never before!
Here’s a snippet from the upcoming eighth part of BA: The Schism of Fire and Water
(Warning: words and phrases may change before the chapter this is a part of is released)
Sam realized that Dean was doing anything but sleeping. His face had the familiar stubborn cast of a person trying to ignore the world around them, instead of his usual relaxed posture. The reason he hadn’t reacted to Sam became clear when he caught sight of the earbuds in Dean’s ears.
Dean just wasn’t going to make this easy on him.
With a world-weary sigh, Sam jogged over to the bed. If Dean refused to listen to him, he’d find a way to make Dean listen, whatever it took. A brief shiver went up Sam’s back when he remembered how big Dean was, but it faded away faster this time.
Sam grabbed the edge of the bed cover, hauling himself up the sheer cliff with no need for his fishhook or line. A climbing surface like the cover offered plenty of handholds and places to grip. He was careful to stay clear of the hand that was hanging off the bed, spotting it silently twitching in time with the song Dean was listening to at the moment. He didn’t want to get knocked off the bed by accident.
Once he made it to the top of the bed Sam wasted no time in climbing up Dean himself. He felt the hunter freeze up under him the second he made contact, then smirked as Dean tried to force himself to relax and ignore Sam. You already gave yourself away, jackass. That wasn’t exactly your most subtle move. I know you’re awake and you know I’m here.
Sam jogged up Dean’s stomach, ignoring the way the uneven ground gave way beneath his feet. That was normal enough for him these days. It was hardly the first time he’d walked on Dean, though it was the first he’d been ignored while walking up. For all the good that would do Dean. Sam felt a spark of determination fill him. Dean would listen to him.
With that in mind, Sam brought his boot down on the cord of Dean’s headphones, yanking one of the buds out of his ears. Dean’s eyes flashed open before he could catch himself, an annoyed look in his stare when he caught sight of Sam standing on his chest with arms stubbornly crossed over his chest.
“Dude, you’re standing on my headphones,” Dean grumbled, the ground under Sam vibrating. The quiet sound of Smoke on the Water leaked out of the free bud.
“Yeah. That’s kind of the point,” Sam said, meeting Dean levelly in the eyes. “We need to talk.”
Well… they’ve always been open, but I figured I’d make it official.
Feel free to send in any questions you have, whether it’s for the author (me!) or any of the characters… OC’s included! If there’s anything you’re dying to ask Sam or Dean, Nixie and the others, send them in.
Anonymous asks are open as well, I just ask that everyone be polite. Rude asks are not tolerated and will not be posted to the page.
If anyone has a headcanon to share, feel free to send it in. If your headcanon fits a part of a future story that I already have written, you’ll win everyone a sneak peek! So have some fun, I love to see what everyone comes up with.

The brothers are working an easy case in Hibbing, Minnesota when they’re reminded just how delicate their situation is. The reminder? A cold bucket of water in the face for Dean, and a world of trouble for Sam.
A new story has begun!
