Extra bitty Jacob definitely notices the chill once or twice. His body holds less heat and his clothes are thinner than even Sam’s. In the end, he has to stick close to the others if he wants to retain any body heat. Sam and Bowman might not produce as much warmth as a human can, but they do manage better than wee Jake.
Besides, Jacob lives up to his reputation as a teddy. Hugs from a mini-giant are sure to keep such a bitty guy warm.
Sorry about that!
The posts that list the horror story as the third part were posted before the short story After the Hunt was written on a whim, changing the numbering of the stories. So #jiw is officially the fourth story of Brothers Found, so long as we don’t add in any other short stories.
The numbering of any stories is subject to change up and until the stories are posted! Sorry for the confusion!
#jiw is finished in excerpts, and now the waiting begins for the story to start! Tomorrow we’ll begin posting excerpts from Brothers Divided, and we hope to see you here!
According to the timeline I was thinking of, Bowman would be about 20. Putting Jacob at 18 or 19. My characters are younger than the bros, and though Bowman doesn’t really care about age at all, it leads to a dynamic with Jacob looking up to the Winchesters (no matter what size everyone is).
You bet! The horror story will be the third story in the Brothers Found verse! It’s gonna be a ride and a half for poor extra smol Jake!
There’s multiple tiny!Jacob’s, but if you mean the story with the extra smol Jacob, it’s our horror story! We have excerpts posting for it now, and it’ll be appearing in the poll before long. Check out all the past posts about it:
Very close indeed! With any luck it’ll appear after we start adding stories to the poll after the current stories all post– We’re not adding anything new until Brothering Bowman, The Study of the Four and Return to Oz all get to post. (Because the horror story is huge and these stories need their chance to post before it takes over for a while).
Enjoy the horror story excerpts as they begin!
We won’t be having any more sneak peeks for the horror story at this time, but starting Sunday you’ll see story excerpts for it!
The answer floats around from time to time, but it’s easy to miss. It’s in Brothers Found, and it’s the third story in. There’s only one story between it and us– Can’t have it without a Bowman along for the ride, so they’ve gotta get themselves in gear and get to the Wellwood!
(I don’t think Bowman appreciates this right now, sending three hunters to his forest)
While waiting for it to appear in the poll, we’ll have excerpts from the horror story going up!
( Original post )
Believe it or not, that was all actual, honest to god feedback we’ve received from our stories! To be exact, the tacky lamp feedback was from the upcoming horror story in Brothers Found. Mixed up in all that angsty horror, even extra-smol Jacob’s gotta kick back and relax (or try to) from time to time.
Jacob gasped involuntarily when the platform dropped out from under them, lowering him and Sam to the small table between the vast motel beds at last. He got shakily to his feet, finally releasing Sam’s sleeve so he could make his way to the edge of the hand again. He was able to hop down from the no-longer-insignificant height, landing in a safe crouch on the bunched up fabric of the shirt. It was a softer landing than in the pocket full of change, that was for damn sure.
He settled himself down on the shirt before looking over the other things on the nightstand with them. The TV remote was several times Jacob’s length and bulky. It looked like it had seen a lot of use because many of the buttons had their symbols partially scratched off. The alarm clock was a hulking black plastic thing with red, Jacob-sized numbers glowing on the front. He hoped it wasn’t set, because Jacob knew for a fact he’d never be able to depress the gigantic snooze button atop the device. The lamp was, on principle, tacky as sin with a lampshade fifteen years too old to be modern and about the same too young to look retro. The blocky base almost looked like a flight of stairs designed by Picasso. Jacob smirked, knowing Bowman probably hated the stupid lamp for having so many of those right angles that offended his sight so much. And of course, a water tower’s worth of beer sat waiting in Dean’s red cup next to the lamp.
Bowman found a comfy place to sit on the shirt with them, sipping on his beer. He had learned a few things since his first time drinking with the humans. If he drank too quickly like he wanted, he ran out of beer, got drunk, and had his supply cut off for being ornery, especially with Dean in charge of the drinks. Jacob knew his restraint wouldn’t last, but it was kind of amusing to see the sprite at least trying to pace himself.
“Alright, well, let’s see what’s on,” Jacob announced with a grin as he waited for Sam to join them.
