#au lounge

There's going to be at least one more part! @neonthebright and @borrowedtimeandspace finished their dual part, and now I just need to finish up what's going on with my boys during all that. The AU lounge is always very interesting to write, with all of our different alternate characters, haha.

This time, the door didn’t come into being in its regular spot.

The room shifted, barely noticed by the many different patrons of the ever-growing Lounge. And now, it was literally growing.

When the shift finished, there was another door, this one placed further from the bar than the others, and off a sheer cliff that the nearby Dean shied away from on his way for a refill.

The door opened, and in strolled the next patron.

Dean ground to a halt, his eyes going wide.

Not for over a decade had he seen a chair his size.

Sam was in his hand, much like the many other Sams of the bar. The main difference between this Sam and the others… he was human sized.

And Dean was a giant.

“You have got to be shitting me!” came one of the voices from the tiny bar placed at around Dean’s chest height.

One of the multiple Dean’s at the bar (the original, the one that came first to the room to meet his teenage self), was standing a few feet back from the edge, his hands on his hips and a supremely annoyed look on his face.

The new entrants to the bar snapped their heads to the side in time when another voice, a much fainter voice cut through the air. The source was a barely visible speck on one of the tables.

“See how you like it, asshat!”

Dean tentatively came forward, holding his hand level with the floor so Sam could step down. He could barely believe his eyes. There was a nearly microscopic version of himself standing there, and Sam spotted a small version of himself nearby.

The regular Dean scowled. “Watch it, shortstop!” he called threateningly to the smallest Dean there. “Or it’ll be time for a pool rematch!”

Over by the arcade, the teenager’s eyes were wide, holding Sam close. “Maybe we should sit this one out,” he said faintly, unable to tear his eyes away from a giant older counterpart. The regular sized one was a handful enough.

Sam patted his thumb. “But we gotta check them out!” he insisted. “I’m normal sized over there!”

And of course there was no way for Dean to say no to his little brother when he got that yearning in his eyes. He swallowed nervously before wandering away from their safe corner, keeping a distance from the edge.

Like all who come across Oscar, particularly baby Oscar, they'd adopt in their own ways. Brothers Consulted John in particular has yet to meet smol kids when they first arrive in the Lounge, so he'd just be a puddle for Oscar. Too smol and precious for this world.

Sherlock, as we've seen, has his own way with kiddos and bonding with them. Oscar is no exception.

~~~

"You've come to keep me company," Sherlock reiterated, mulling over the concept and wondering just what kind of company Oscar normally kept.

And of course, he worked his thoughts out aloud.

"Why me? You must belong with someone. Hardly anyone is in here without being involved with those Winchesters. So, which of them is it? No, no, I can get this."

Tearing his eyes away from his careful watch over the smallest child, Sherlock let them sweep over the crowd once again to scrutinize all the different iterations of Sam and Dean Winchester. The sound of his triumph came out as a sort of dry chuckle as he turned back to Oscar.

Poor baby Jake has to process a bunch of older versions of himself, let alone teeny versions plus a very gigantic one. (Nicholas, hold on to your very small child please, he might get lost. :[)

Awww, baby Jake and his older counterparts would be so cute! The teddy-to-be meeting all his teddy selves! For one thing, he'd be super excited to see that he grows up to be really tall, just like his dad. He'd also be amazed to see the various grown up Sams. His lil buddy also grows up so tall! And his big brother Dean is there in several iterations too! Kiddo Jacob would have a blast meeting everyone.

Nick would be proud to see his son in the various AUs, I think. Jacob grew up into a good kid, a very gentle soul who's kind even to the tiny folk he ran across.

It would be a bit of an emotional reunion, for all the grown Jacobs. Jacob, as he matured, went through a lot of growth and development, emotionally. He's come to terms with his father's death. It would be both euphoric and confusing to see him again after all that.

He'd have a lot to talk about, just to catch up, but he wouldn't be able to have that conversation right away. For one thing, Jacob's a terrible liar, as we all know; he wouldn't be able to hide the fact that something will happen to Nick. For another, he wouldn't want to give away anything to his young self, who he definitely believes needs to learn and grow on his own (even knowing the memories from the Lounge don't carry beyond it).

1) When would it have been most likely for Gabriel to meet a little? Does he simply know about them, or has he personally interacted with them? (The way he treated Jacob and Dean in JIW seemed a little personal, but I could be reading into the situation.)

2) Has Celeste ever changed a monster into a little? (Some part of my brain says this has been answered but I honestly can’t remember 😅)

3) Do the Brothers Apart Winchesters ever meet Gabriel? Would it be in a similar situation as in the actual show?

4) Are the angels all the same in each universe (i.e. the Gabriel we meet in JIW is the same one from the Lounge or another Brothers Apart universe)?

Thank you ♥️

Oh, I love these questions! They’re all so good! I can’t wait to see what you come up with, don’t forget to share it with us all!

1. As the archangel that is AWOL from heaven, Gabe knows a lot about the world that his heavenly siblings wouldn’t! He’s run across littles from time to time during his travels, and has a clearer idea of what his fallen sister is up to compared to the others. He took it very personal to find humans and littles interacting, and took it upon himself to teach them a few lessons about it, but that doesn’t mean he’s not on their side to begin with. 

2. Not in my series as of yet, but it could be done! I was actually quite excited to see them using archangel grace in the TV series to a similar effect with monsters, to power them up, and shrinking them would be just a small step further. 

3. No plans currently for them to meet Gabriel, so you can imagine it however you like! So far it seems that they’ve lucked out in the angel department, and only have to put up with Castiel, ha. 

It’s immersive D&D! Why pretend to be a dragon when you can be a dragon?!

Dean would be a knight in shining armor, with the Impala as his steed. You can’t ask for a more faithful steed than her, though instead of a horse I’ve always been fond of stories where the Impala is a black-and-chrome dragon!

Sam would certainly be a sorcerer or a wizard, always with a book of spells at his side to sling back at people.

As for the Baker street crew, John Watson has aspects of both a fighter and a cleric in him. Kicking ass and healing his party-mates.

Sherlock is hands down a bard. Don’t think he won’t strut out in a skirmish and violin the crap out of his opponent. Vicious Mockery is his go-to.

Then there’s Stan Baker as a ranger, the friendliest recluse you’ll meet. Don’t be fooled though, he and his animal companion Juno will mess their enemies up.

We need Jacob as a paladin, there to protect everyone and fight when it’s necessary.

Bowman could be a Scout/rogue, keeping an eye out for danger for the rest.

Lol!

In the actual story they might not. Part of the ‘protective’ enchantment over the place is everyone can sense certain details about the others, so they automatically know which Sam is their Sam or that this Dean is actually Dean.

(That way none of the Deans tries shooting up the place when he finds it full of ten other hims)
