Who are the Americans…?

myimaginedairybeard asked:

A Burglary at Baker Street chapter 16: “Put him in with the other Americans, I suppose.” in other Americans he referred to Oz but not to Jake, right? Since in Sad Oscar au Jacob was already “bought”. So who’s the other American? Is it the girl from the sneak peek? I guess we’ll find out soon enough. Also, are these monsters the same ones that the Weechesters were sent to (like in Brothers Discovered)? Because in one of the BD fanarts you can see the mark, though it doesn’t fit the description..

Good catches!

Sam and Dean are not marked in Brothers Consulted. One of the major differences between those two AUs is that in BC, Sam and Dean escaped their captors very quickly when they arrived in London, before they were ‘processed.’ In BD, days became months before they were able to escape, which is why it is nearing winter when they’re discovered. They’ll forever be branded in that AU.

I can confirm that Oscar is not one of ‘the Americans.’ At this point in Consulted he is likely getting caught over in America, before he’s shipped overseas.

The black market for borrowers is more expansive than we’ve seen.

We’ll just have to wait and see who those Americans are!

Bonus – will Oz ever meet the kitten from the consulted shorts? (stricken sneezes)

It’s impossible to know at this time if Oscar will ever meet the kitten, but I can promise that Moira is very good friends with that flat’s cat, and she goes to visit whenever she can!

She just has to make sure Dean is nowhere close.

Touch Deprivation

anonymous asked:

Random ask here, but when a little is living with a human, even though I know they are technically touched or manhandled all the time, do they ever experience touch deprivation? I don’t know how even being held to a chest in a hug compares to someone the same size interacting with you and to what extent that would affect you…

Well, that’s probably going to depend on the exact little in question.

For instance, I hate touching. The fact that someone could pick me up and move me around at any time would bother the hell out of me, and I’d be twitchy from too much touching!

Some would likely yearn for same-size touch, wishing to find another of their kind. Especially if they’re in forced captivity, instead of the mutually supportive relationship like Sam and Dean have.

This actually came up in the Sad Oscar AU (aka Brothers Consulted). Oscar spent a long time with humans that could and would pick him up whenever they wanted, and it’s just not the same…


Oscar was so shocked by the sight of someone with such small features that he didn’t even flinch back from the sudden embrace. She was taller than him, but her thin frame was at his scale. No giant hands or looming faces to force him to go wherever they wanted. As it sank in, he shuddered with sheer relief and hid his eyes against her shoulder.

One frail arm returned the hug, but even Oscar’s earnest cling was timid and weak. The hand on his cane gripped it so tightly it shook.

Oscar had had no shortage of physical contact since his capture. From Noriko to Charlotte, no human had any qualms about grabbing him up in a relentless grasp, hugging him or simply carrying him around. He was no stranger to touch, and yet he might as well be touch starved.

“S-someone came,” he muttered, almost more to himself than to the stranger holding him now.

This is what happens when the Winchesters aren’t there to haul their friends out of trouble!

@nightmares06

Also, you can pile the blame for this turn of events on me, not neon.


@neonthewrite – She came to me with a really great “Hey Neon what if …” conversation and I couldn’t not. But really, everyone give some props to @borrowedtimeandspace for forgiving us, since after I made it I had her read the whole thing to check it for me and I more or less split the story juuuust before the part where she paused reading to come back to skype and YELL at me about it. 

Indigo Masqurade97: Okay, I got a question for Neon about their sad Oscar AU (which is fudged and evil, but I still love it!). From what I’ve read it looks like Oscar is in London. Is this Oscar part of the Brothers Consulted AU, and Sherlock and/or Dean are gonna save the smol? That would be awesome!!
BorrowedTime24601B: I can say that I have not spoken with Neon about Sherlock saving the smol child ;w;
bee-wrecker: Nani! I want the baby boy to be protected and treated like a kid he’s supposed to be!!!
Neon: Well, I do have plans for the way that sad au will shake out. I do! But you’ll have to brace yourselves because believe it or not it can get harsher than being burned like he was ;w;
nightmares06: XD Sam and Dean are out of the picture, no way of even knowing he exists
theskylarksings: NOOOOO
bee-wrecker: Cruel!!!
Abbie Kop: ugh nightmare whyyy. I needed some good news!!

neonthewrite:

I knoooow I’m sorry! It’s been especially taxing because I just did that reblog spree, normally these are spread out much more for a lighter dose of the feels.

The Sad Oscar AU is very appropriately named, I’d say, because it gives me feels every time I sit down and plink out another installment. And then I show @nightmares06 and @borrowedtimeandspace and they scold me heartily for it.

I dunno if this is tipping my hand too much, but plot twists are most definitely planned for that AU. Hope you’ll stick with me to find out what’s next!
