JIMMY & JACOB SITTING IN A TREE

[whynot]

Hello and welcome to another edition of the mass hallucination and shared playground we call Novakcest. I guess the most straightforward way to explain this to viewers who have just turned in is that it's a Supernatural/Stonehenge Apocalypse crossover that is also a Supernatural fusion. Mostly it's me and callowyn freaking out on gchat about Misha Collins's face. Cally has delicioused the snippets here.



"Hollywood Babylon", the time they pretended to be one PA to get the job done faster, ostensibly. Jimmy always said Jacob should come with a warning label.

jacob is like IT WILL BE LIKE OLD TIIIIMES
SO MUCH MORE EFFICIENT THAT WAY
WHAT IF THEY USE A DIFFERENT NAME
LIKE
FITZPATRICK
WALLACE
HANS
STARSKY
STARSKY!!!!!!!!!!!!
jacob you utter dork
what if jacob introduces himself that way without informing jimmy
jimmy thought they were just going to walk busily around until someone is like STARSKY GET ME A LATTE


negative spaces during MIT era
jacob, at mit, every story begins with "my brother and I used to", but when joseph asks where his brother is now, jacob shuts down

one time, jimmy gets a drunken rambley voicemail.
and even though they make no sense, all "jimmy jimmy I saw this fox today you remember- foxes're closer to cats, I think, I think, jimmy I can't feel my mouth", he knows exactly what jacob means


NOVAKCEST BY lexhibition omggggg:

You know that time when their mom stood in horror outside the bathroom, listening through the door?

"See, I told you mine was longer!"

"You're stretching it out!"

"Fine, you measure it for me!"

"I'm not touching that."

"Come on, Jimbo. It's exactly the same as yours. Only longer."

The bathroom isn't locked and she's kind of horrified about what she'll find, but when she steels herself and opens the door the twins are both fully clothed and Jacob has a ruler in his mouth.

Sometimes Jimmy comes up with the wackiest fucking theories about what they're hunting, and it turns out he's right. Jacob tries to hide how impressed he is as they load up the car. This is supposed to be his thing, he's the one with the unbroken line from then to now. "How'd you come up with that?" he asks, failing to sound casual and Jimmy just shrugs. Jacob doesn't remember. He never paid nearly as much attention to his radio show as the people listening.*

+



Also there's that time Jacob grows a fail!beard just because he knows Jimmy hates it. He knows exactly what Jimmy's doing when his brother keeps buying his drinks one night, too. He's almost relived when he wakes up the next morning clean shaven. Stupid thing itched.

+

When they were kids they got yelled at for starting staring competitions in the back seat. Their mom said it was eerie, four unblinking blue eyes, and by the time they've learned to ignore her Jimmy says he's too old for stupid games.

So it's years later, gunshots later, it's Amelia later and a huge gash across Jacob's chest because he was too fucking slow to duck out of the way later. Jimmy's pissed off as he pulls the last stitch tight. "I'm only getting you more whisky," he says as he meets Jacob's eyes, "if I blink first." His hand tightens on Jacob's shoulder, his thumb digs into the bruised skin pulled tight over his brother's collarbone.

Jacob flinches, but he doesn't look away.

* on the subject of who listens to the radio show
maybe sometimes in s1 jacob listens to kaycee running the radio show
and is proud
and wistful
does jimmy recognize the show and get squirmy because he used to creep on jacob this way
"that dick calling again, doesn’t he have anything better to do?" jimmy says, only to realize he's outed himself.
jacob doesn't know how to feeeeeeel
"YOU LISTENED TO MY SHOW?"
"WHAT, ONLY SOMETIMES"
and jimmy tries to play it off like LOL it's because you're funny when you're full of it
but jacob knooooows


Jacob goes to the crossroads
no need to panic
he knows these rules: IF jimmy is dead THEN jacob will get him back
THIS ONE IS JACOB PUTTING ON JIMMY'S COAT AND ABOUT TO GO MAKE A DEAL AT THE CROSSROADS

jacob at the crossroads

watching and waiting for that smell of sulfur

and then



MIT ERA, THIS TIME WITH VIDEO! Bret JACOB, TRYING TO BE NORMAL. JOINING A BAND. MAKING BLUES MIXES FOR GIRLS. FORESHADOWING "CROSSROADS BLUES".
