After Jacob in Wonderland, did Jacob remain with Sam and Dean until his injuries (at least the big ones) healed or did he have to make up a story for his family and friends?

Jacob had some adjusting to do before he could let himself go home. He’s learned quite a bit about hiding big secrets ever since he joined the team, but there was a lot that happened in that story. He would be way too haunted and twitchy if he went home too soon.

Luckily, they happen to know a whole village of sprites that have healing magic. Jacob was mother-henned by the Winchester brothers at the end of the story (and probably after, too), and the sprites would be no different. Especially Rischa, who knew the depth of his trauma and pain the minute he came back to the village. She wouldn’t have told the brothers since he didn’t want them to worry even more, but she’s told Bowman enough for him to be able to help Jacob out.

After he got his injuries patched up enough, he went home to try to keep himself busy, but he found himself visiting Wellwood a lot more often after Wonderland.

Now that Jacob is his right size again, will we see him discussing the things he went through with either of the brothers? I mean, he’s probably going to be processing everything for a while after all that happened and being big again doesn’t make it go away.

Jacob will definitely be processing things for some time after all that. You are absolutely right, so much fear and pain doesn’t just go away overnight. In fact, that was the trickster’s goal all along – a lesson can’t stick if it’s forgotten right away!

The issue is that Jacob tries really really hard to remain chill all the time. You can even see it in a few instances in Jacob in Wonderland, where he hides his worries in order to keep up that demeanor. It’s important to him that he’s the collected one, and he definitely wouldn’t want to be the one to make everyone else worry about him. They already did enough of that during those events, and they went through their own traumas.

No, it’s best (in his mind) to work through it on his own, and maybe talk about it after he’s done some of his own healing.

It sounds like a good idea, but it wouldn’t go as well in execution. Sam’s skin is twenty times thinner than Dean’s, so just imagine having glue that’s twenty times stronger than normal glue on your skin. It might come off eventually, but it might take some of you with it! Medical tape would work better, but given a choice, Dean will use cloth wraps or gauze any time.

Legend of the Nix:

The magic of a water sprite is at its strongest within the pure freshwater streams. Because of this, in ancient times when a person who was dying sought healing summoned a sprite, legends began to circulate.

Nixie and her sisters must drown the victim, in order to heal them. This reflected poorly on the sprites, and their summoning began to happen rarer and rarer, until even the technique of summoning was lost. The legend of the Nix and Nixe spread, inspired by Nixie’s name. Nixie was one of the sprites that answered the call most often, helping where she could, at least until people grew afraid of her magic. It was this fear that caused the summoning of the sprites to cease and stories spread of men being dragged into the depths, never to be seen again.
