If living with Sherlock has taught John Watson one thing, it’s to go with the flow and try to make the best contributions to the situation at hand. Giant Jacob would be the most set-apart from the group thanks to his size, and lil Oz just needs a warm drink and some nibbles. John sees this and tries to help them feel comfortable.

And for Sherlock himself, the Lounge would certainly fill his head with questions, even if we take away the questions of how. So many versions of the same people is such an intriguing concept to the detective, and he’ll be sure to grill everybody just to find the subtle differences in their personalities and deduce the reasons for them. Even if he has to deal with the annoyance of being yoinked by a giant kid, the Lounge would at least never be boring.


@neonthewrite

One thing I can see happening for sure is John being a ready go-between for Jacob and all the other extra little guys. Everyone else being caught up in the shenanigans, someone’s gotta help Jacob communicate. It’s not his fault the others are gnat-sized to him! At least in the Lounge we can say they’re all safe from the concussive sound of his voice. @.@


Have a question for us? Ask away! And don’t feel like it has to be just about the stories! We’re open to talk about anything!

@nightmares06

I’m so glad! Every time we do a lil special like this, something new comes out of it. It just so happens that this weekend birthed the AU lounge out of nowhere!


@neonthewrite

We’re super pumped that you’re enjoying it, because we’re loving it too. It gives everyone a chance to go nuts thinking about different pairings that haven’t happened/aren’t really planned for the aus.

@nightmares06

Yep, the second story is all about them finding Bowman!

It was actually the first story we wrote after finishing up A Lich of Sense, so we were still at the point in our writing where we were getting ideas like “But what if Jacob???”

It’s not quite canon Bowman, though, because he met Jacob after Jacob met Sam and Dean. In canon he’s known Jacob for much longer.


@neonthewrite

Yeah, Jacob finding Sam in Brothers Found definitely altered his own timeline with Bowman a little bit. At least it meant that there was no one to catch Bowman like in his canon story, thus leading to the domino effect of trouble finding Wellwood long before the lich did!

For making Jacob so little, though, we had to make sure he had his sprite buddy around.

@nightmares06

Aww! Lil Weechesters meeting their older counterparts! And if there’s a wee Sammers and Dean, there’s a wee lil Oz in the room too, looking out at all these people so nervously! Older smol Dean will have to coax his younger buddy out so he can get to know them all.

Wee lil Ozzie riding around on Spritely Sam’s shoulders like Vel does tho.

BT Sam will be running around to introduce himself to everyone, including John and Sherlock, since clearly they know his older (older) brother, they’ve gotta be nice guys, right? He wants to know everything about them and has a million questions saved up for when they’re around.


@borrowedtimeandspace

John would have absolutely no evens meeting kiddo versions of Sam and Dean, careful with every word and movement. It’s something special, to have trust and strong interest from such a small kid.

Sherlock, of course, would be fascinated right back, offering his own questions in return. He wonders about how much their personalities have and haven’t changed over the years they’ve been small, and meeting their kiddo selves would definitely be informative.


@neonthewrite

Aww jeez. Kiddo Oscar meeting versions of his Sam and Dean all grown up. He’d be so shy with everything going on, I can see him attaching himself to one of the Winchesters just so he has someone to hide behind. Y’know, just in case.

At least with him around, extra tiny Jacob would have someone a little closer to his height. Oscar finding himself actually taller than someone would be amusing, he’d have to show off to Dean!

@nightmares06

Too bad for Sherlock that Jacob usually leans towards listening to Dean, especially when he’s so stern about something! No one messes with or startles Dean’s Oz (except for Dean), so something clearly must be done here.


@borrowedtimeandspace

To be fair, it’s hard for Sherlock to not be intimidating to smols. He’s not the most sociable of human beings, and smols fascinate him so. Luckily he’s got John to vouch for him, if he feels his poor flatmate’s predicament isn’t quite equitable.


@neonthewrite

Jacob would probably be willing to listen to John, too. He’s the guy with the tea, after all. And Sherlock, at least, wouldn’t be in any danger from Jacob. He might get a poke or two, but giant Jacob is just as fascinated by these little guys as Sherlock is by the other smols. Everyone is fascinated!

It really depends on the littles in question! There’s no “they like it” or “they hate it” here.

Someone like Walt or Arthur would see it as unnecessary, a frivolous pursuit for humans who don’t have to spend their days trying to survive. On the flipside, Mallory would love to discover embroidery, and how to do it for herself. She could spruce up their home, add some more splashes of color to brighten the place up.

In Britain, with the closer knit society, they don’t need to focus solely on survival. Some of the borrowers over there spend most of their lives sewing, and if they want to add some flourish to the fabric, they can do so. They trade for what they need, resulting in more specialized skillsets over the pond.

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!

There are no active AUs for this right now, merely ideas floating around following the style of cursed!Dean where Sam’s the tall one and Jacob was cursed. Those two are always a cute pairing, and I doubt that’ll change with their sizes swapped.

Neon’s been musing ideas for this, so you may see something from her in the future.
