I was rereading brothers apart and I have to ask – where the heck is Sam’s knak?? I mean, I couldn’t find it anywhere, and he has one in all the other aus, so did I miss something? Or is there a reason for this? Course I’m really confused over here…

Nope, you didn’t miss anything!

The first stories for Brothers Apart was written quite a bit before the other stories were ever conceived of. In the beginning, the story shadowed the Supernatural storyline a lot closer, before the story really took off in its own direction.

Sam used to have the same ability from the TV show, where he got prophetic dreams. I ended up switching tracks around the time that Taken was being written, and decided to give my borrowers their own special abilities instead of paralleling the special children from season 2. 

If I remember right, you will see bits and pieces of Sam’s knack start to appear in Taken, and then it shows up fully in Adventures at Bobby’s. We started writing A Lich of Sense right after Taken, and after that all the rest of the AUs took off and Sam’s knack became official, with Dean’s shortly following.

A lot of the ideas for the knacks owe a huge thanks to my cowriters! They wouldn’t be anywhere near as developed without them, and @neonthebright is the one that came up with Dean’s knack!

These days we love brainstorming on who would have what knack if they grew up a borrower!

Commissions

If you’re ever wondering what’s going on with commissions, not all of them are posted to here as I order them! In fact, you’ll only see them added on tumblr when that part of the story is reached. For a completely out-of-context idea of what’s going on in ideas, head on over to here to see what’s going on. New commissions added as they get finished. Not all of them, of course. There are a few artists that are commissioned outside of deviantart, but the majority of them go through that site.

Give the wonderful artists some love. ❤

Brothers Together has been more of a prompt-driven storyline than my Brothers Apart series from the start. I can definitely see there being more than one part. It could be during any time period. Children, adults, anything is open. It just depends on what sparks an idea, just like this story! So send in any ideas you can come up with for it.
