Poor guys just can’t catch a break. This would be more likely to be a case within BT or BA, instead of an entire separate AU
Tag: guess
That’s an interesting one I never thought of. It would be an interesting encounter for Walt, after his checkered history with humans.
I’ve thought about how it would go if Gordon found the downsized brother first… and it never seems to end well. *shudders*
Still a little cold, but there’s definite variety for ideas here, who knows, maybe I’ll get a new idea.
Keep the guesses coming! But this one’s getting colder.
Guesses for the mystery AU!
Since no one has gotten it right, here’s a compilation of all the guesses so far to give you all a hand:
- A kid finding a cursed Dean
- A kid finding both cursed brothers (not the mystery AU, but a possibility for BL)
- Field Borrowers
- Both brothers are cursed and John saves them
- Reversed Brothers Together, where Dean got cursed and saved by Sammy
- Hitchhiking Sam, off to find his brother
- The witch gets Sam when he’s first cursed
- Sam/Dean grow to be a giant instead
- A brother is cursed and either Bobby or Gordon finds them
- Sam is cursed as an adult and meets the Watch family later on in life instead of as a child
- The trickster switches the brothers sizes (likely for a story within an AU, not an AU by itself)
- Sam adopted by a human family after being cursed
- Sam caught by other humans with no one around to save him
- Sam is cursed at a different motel
- Sam is adopted by sprites
- Sam and Dean are borrowers for most of their life
- The Winchesters genderswap
- Sam raises a family of his own that fits in Dean’s pocket (just plain adorable, really)
- Sam and Dean shrunk as adults (more likely for a canon story, since the curse in BA only works on children)
- Borrowers and humans coexist
- Sam had to survive on his own
- Dean discovers Sam earlier/later on in life
- Both brothers cursed; one has the curse broken
All good guesses but none hit the mark! If anyone gets it right, there will be a sneak peek put up for everyone to see!
Other points of interest brought up:
- The AU will involve one or both of the brothers being cursed
- The curse will happen at Trails West
- Bowman or Oscar may appear in the AU, but not as one of the central characters
- Celeste is involved to her normal extent; as the source of the curse
- One of the three campers from Fairy Tales: Bowman of Wellwood is involved in the AU
- The guesses that come closer to the mark without hitting it have been bolded!
Getting warmer, but nope, these are not what the mystery AU will be!
I might do something in the future with only Dean shrinking down being found by a kid. The interactions would be fun, and seeing how Sam comes in just as fun. Big-little brother to the rescue! Or something. But nothing on the table just yet.
A kid finding both shrunken brothers… I’m not going to say anything more than that might come up in Brothers Lost. Don’t want to spoil everything, after all. 😉
Nope, it’s nothing to do with the field borrowers! And currently, there are no plans in BT to show Sam and Dean encountering them as kids.
This is a great guess! It’s actually a version that I never thought of for myself, but I bet Dean would have some entertaining adventures as the smaller brother. I wonder who John would leave in charge once Dean’s been downsized.
Any other guesses for the mystery AU? I wish I could think of a clue that wouldn’t give it away… Hmm.
A world traveling borrower. That’s an adorable idea, but nope. The AU will not be the traveling Sammy. Or, at least not traveling on his own.
But if anyone wants to write this, it sounds adorable. Gotta find his big bro! The Impala’s out there somewhere!
Anyone else? :3
That was Krissy. Sadly for her and the Watch family, it will be some time before the boys would even be able to consider returning to the motel they were attacked in. There’s too much of a chance that the witch is lurking in the area, though her trail has dried up, and so John will keep both of his children far, far away. He can’t risk losing both of them.
