I have an official diagnosis and a hopeful regimen of medication. Praying for it to work so I don't have to go through further testing

Cannot believe I basically haven't felt myself since before Halloween. I miss video games and writing and being able to focus. Thank God I work from home, if I was still working retail, they likely would have fired me for how many months I was unable to even drive myself

[brothersapart]

I hope you're okay 🫂🫂🫂🫂

My doctor is helping me a lot, just yesterday I got an MRI to make sure nothing weird is causing two months of dizziness. May this all soon be over!

I miss everyone here so much

[brothersapart]

Sadly not better yet, my ability to use screens for long periods of time has been greatly impacted this week. I miss you guys!

I am sick so there may not be an update tonight

Still currently sick but hoping I'm on the mend? It's been a rough week 😭

🤩 It's wonderful!

We are nearly at the 10 year anniversary from when I first began posting Brothers Apart!

Next Thursday, keep an eye out for a new story to start posting, the next story in the Brothers Apart timeline, Squeaklock Holmes! It's a short lil story about a case the Winchesters find and some unlikely allies Sam discovers along the way.

I hope everyone has been well, I know it's been some time since I was posting regularly and we probably won't resume the same schedule as before because my life is simply different now, but there's still plenty of stories on the way once we finish them up.

Sorry for the long period of quiet. The worst happened in my family and we recently lost my grandmother, so I've had to take extra time away. I'm hoping to start getting back to normal bit by bit, and I've greatly missed everyone here 😊

Is it weird to make memes of your own story?

Trick question I already did it

Here's some Borrower!Chase memes

Jacob, about everything Chase says:

Wondering what the heck these memes are for?

Read the stories I've posted so far at the following links:

Forbidden Fruit Snacks | Fried Potatoes | Minnie’s Supply Run | Nailed It | Orange You Glad | Almost a Thief | Lies Under Duress | Shoot the Breeze

Hey, so I had a guess for Stan Baker's knack. I read a post that it had been used in Brothers Chosen, and I thought about how Dean had somehow managed to forget an entire being on his person. Who also might have been a threat to him. So does Stan have like a stealth ability to kinda make people forget he's there. Like how sometimes someone is so quiet that people forget they are there?

This is actually the closest guess to his actual knack that anyone's gotten, so we're gonna give it to you!

Attention Manipulation: The ability to psychically manipulate a human's attention.

Stan's knack works a bit similarly to John Winchester's, in that he is able to divert humans' attention from himself if he focuses on it. In the case of the scene you mentioned in Live and Let Die, Dean was a bit distracted doing what he was doing on that hunt, but Stan was definitely putting out 'don't look in your pocket' vibes that sealed the deal. At least for a bit.

While Stan concentrates on not being seen, humans' eyes won't focus on him and/or they might ignore his general vicinity. Even if he were out in the open and a human tried looking right where he was, with his knack active their gaze would simply slide off him like... uh, whatever it is water slides off. It's an incredibly useful skill for a borrower to have, and even in AU like Brothers Chosen where he doesn't realize he has it, he can still use it!

And though it isn't as easily discovered by him, his knack also works in the reverse: Stan can draw a human's focus towards himself, making it difficult for them to ignore him or even look away if he's really digging in. This could be a handy tactic for diversion, or a way to alert a friendly human that something's going on with him.

Like most knacks, Stan's does have its limits and rules. It works similarly to Sherlock's knack, where it only affects Stan at its base level but he can train it to affect others in a larger area with much greater effort and higher chance of burnout. It also doesn't affect borrowers/littles' attention at all, so even if he's fully hidden from human view, a fellow smol will be able to see him just fine.
