Well, Dean is smol and captured, and Stan is tol, and there was a woman who captured Dean and has experience doing such things… but beyond that I’m not sure what to make of the AU for afin, especially since you said it’s very different than previous AUs. Has Dean been a little his whole life this time?

  • Dean has not been a little all his life. Though you might see other characters in the stories swap between borrower-for-life and curse-victim, the Winchesters need their past as humans to really be Winchesters, at least for me.
  • Dean is smol and captured. The woman didn’t capture him.
  • Stan is Stan.

I’m rather behind on the current story, due to a combination of “life is busy and a bit exhausting” and “reading scary stories in chunks is easier if I can choose where the chunks end and don’t have to stop at a cliffhanger, so I’m erring on the side of caution and waiting til there’s a bunch of chapters up to read,” but I wanted to pop in and tell you that it’s really well written and full of all the emotions. And wee Jacob in the excerpts is just so cute sometimes.

Sounds like you have a lot of fun coming once you get the chance to read the horror story! We can’t wait to hear what you think. 

Wee Jacob is definitely one of the sweetest lil guys around. Everyone just wants to eat ‘em right up.

Brothers Grounded can have Jacob take them to Wellswood!

They’re on their way!


“We should scout the area before it gets dark,” Dean said, getting up and stretching. “Make sure we find a safe home for the night.”

“Right,” Jacob muttered, a more subdued smile on his face. Regardless of how much trust he’d managed to bargain for himself, the two of them would need some space to themselves. Fascinated or not, he couldn’t deny them that.

“Just keep yourselves outta trouble,” he joked, reaching out to nudge Dean in the side before he was done stretching. As before, he drew his hand back quickly to avoid the retribution that he was sure the little guy would offer. “Gotta be ready for a bit of a hike tomorrow.”

Dean recoiled in surprise, his face falling into a flat expression at the playful gesture. He threw up his arms in frustration at how quick the teenager could move, faster than he could react to. “Well unless the village is a few feet in, I think you’ll be doin’ most of the hikin’, Godzilla,” he retorted in annoyance, his Midwestern drawl thickening.

Sam tried to hide a snicker behind a hand, entertained by the innocent interactions between the pair. He hadn’t been bored once since they met Jacob. “So how far in the forest is the village, anyway?” he asked.

This Jacob met Bowman before he met the shrunken bros and thus is perfectly comfortable poking Dean just like he does his winged friend. I love it.

XD Dean is so offended at how pokeable he is. He was trying to stretch, ffs.
