We have a winner!
#auv stands for An Unexpected Visitor! Certainly Dean never imagined who he would find sneaking about in his room, searching for food…
He was under the bed when he heard it.
A key, probably more than half Oscar’s height, sliding into the lock on the door. Ice surged through his veins and he froze. There was nothing else he could do.
Oscar had a view of the nightstand between the two beds, beyond a forest of dustbunnies, as the door creaked open. With agonizing slowness, a piece of wood impossibly tall and heavy for someone his size swung open to admit the human checked into the room. Oscar’s legs tensed. He’d gotten himself stuck in rooms with humans in them before, but it never got easier. He was too small.
Heavy footfalls that Oscar could never miss vibrated through the floor. Same usual routine; a few steps, then the percussive click of the door shutting. Oscar held his breath and stared straight ahead.
Something crashed onto the other bed, and before Oscar could glance in that direction, the entire world around him quaked. The bed frame and the mattress it supported both released noises of protest as the human crashed onto them. Thinking quickly before he could yelp in terror, the room’s hidden occupant lifted his hands and clamped them over his mouth. Oscar stared upwards at the underside of the mattress with wide brown eyes.
For a kid barely more than two inches tall, just a step could cause a small earthquake.
Oscar was used to the feeling of humans walking around. They were always stomping about as they got ready for something or other, and Oscar tried his best to keep himself well out of their way. He was still learning the routines, though, and hadn’t expected anyone in this room for some time.
It was hard to learn these things by himself, but he didn’t have any other options. Oscar’s mom was gone and she had been for a while. He had been seven when he last saw her, and he was eight now, he was sure. It was so hard to navigate a world so big by himself.
She would have known what to do in this situation. He was under the bed with a human in the room, and he didn’t have any exits into the walls. It was safer in there by far, where he could take quiet steps and keep to himself and the humans never bothered with it. They were giant, unpredictable people in most things, but at least they could be counted on to ignore the space that Oscar called home.
He glanced across the floor, past piles of dustbunnies and the wide expanse of worn out carpet. Past the second bed and the dresser was his vent, low in the wall.
It felt so far away. Oscar lowered his trembling hands from his face and took a slow, quiet breath. At least he knew how to be quiet.
He was frightened of the human above. Oscar had found a small, stale piece of a cracker. It was probably from the previous motel guest, but if this one found out he took it, he could be mad. Then he might want to hurt Oscar, and the tiny child would be helpless.
He crept towards the edge of the bed. His wrapped feet pushed softly through the dust piles until he was just at the edge of the bed. He stared straight up.
He almost ducked back immediately at the sight of a hand draped over the side. It wasn’t moving, so he took a slow breath instead. He could do this. All he had to do was move quickly and stay out of sight. So long as the human stayed up on that bed and slept, he’d be fine.
Biting his lip to steel himself, he clutched his bag closer. Then, he bolted across the space between the beds. All he had to do was dive under the other one, and he’d have a safe place to get closer to his vent.
Halfway out, he tripped on the thick carpet fibers. Stumbling, he toppled forward and landed on his front with a quiet Oof! that sent ice up his spine.
Blood Against Hell is a pretty cool title for a story, ngl.
But these guesses are all ice, ice cold.
This title is a quote from the one and only, Dean Winchester.
If it’s something Dean never said, it’s not the title.
Go for the gold! I believe in you!
Guesses are no longer accepted for #ws, #don, #auv, #rt, #awos, #ababs and #teome! They have been guessed and previews will post, one per day, at 2pm est. You guys are on a roll!
Names that still need to be guessed: #atth, #bofa, #bah, #sotw, #tttb and #a:asocs!
If all titles are guessed except for #a:asocs, we’ll reveal that one as a treat for such determination! Five more left!
These got closer and closer throughout the day until someone actually landed right on the name! #ababs is now closed for votes and will get posted with the other sneak peeks.
It’s not a British slang word (to my knowledge, but my family is British so I can occasionally consider certain words common that aren’t), and it’ll be revealed in just a few days.
The ones that came closest to the actual name but still missed by a bit:
A Break-In at Baker Street
Absent Brother at Baker Street
Someone’s in Baker Street that doesn’t belong, and now only one brother is in the flat! Nothing but trouble awaits the Baker Street crew during the second full story of the Brothers Consulted AU!

A Bitchface at Baker Street is probably my favorite XD
Dean would be a huge fan of a Brothel at Baker Street, but I highly doubt Sherlock would approve of such a thing. They’ll all be basket cases by the end of this series.
You haven’t hit the mark yet, but there’s progress being made! This story is quite a harsh story considering the excerpts we had…
Just remember, there’s a reason Sam wasn’t in many of them.
Keep the guesses coming!

Oh my! I think you’re all looking for another horror story from us!
(This story has its moment where it’s going to get close to absolute horror, that’s for sure.)
Not that Jacob is particularly good at hiding, but I’ll say that none of these guesses are anywhere close, and you’re all missing the mark by a wide margin. It’s something that would seem very obvious after you heard it. Something from the show.

Aw, these are all adorable.
A World of Silence definitely fits, but wasn’t what we went with.
A World of Sam is cute. That little guy has a lot of growing up to do with a younger brother that’s much bigger than he is.
Don’t fret, this has been guessed and will be revealed!

I have to say, #bah is getting some of the most hilarious responses out of all the stories, tied up there with #ababs. It’s definitely very supernatural-focused, but none of these.
(Brothers Apart Hassles is a perfect description of all these AUs XD)
Think popular quotes from the show! Something the brothers would say!

Oh my XD So many guesses, and all missing the mark.
You’ve all got “At Baker Street” right! Something’s up at Baker Street for all our boys, but what?
Angry Borrowers at Baker Street made me laugh ‘cause it’s so true some days XD Dean gets very, very angry. Tiny ball of rage and sass, especially when he butts heads with Sherlock. Just wait for Dean to realize Sherlock’s a big pushover.
Agent Baker at Baker Street made me smile, but dear Stan comes into the story during the latter half! Not even we knew he’d make such a splash when we were writing this! He’s a sweetheart.

XD I have to say, some of these follow the stories pretty well. Strife and sass and struggles, all for the Winchesters. I never realized how difficult the two-letter names would be.
This title is like the elephant in the room, so obvious after you see it.
Guesses are no longer accepted for #ws, #don and #teome, these three will be revealed soon along with a sneak peek of each. One per day at 2pm est.
