comment fic meme



In celebration of Sam's birthday, we're hosting another comment fic meme!


THE RULES
→ Leave a comment here with your prompt. Because it's Sam's birthday, I'm going to say that any Sam-centric prompts are okay, even if there's not much hurt/comfort in them.
→ In your prompt, please state your desired characters or pairings. All genres/pairings welcome, but no real-person prompts.

Example A: “Sam, Dean, gen, set in season 2. Sam has a vision and passes out. Cue caring!Dean and limp!Sam.”
Example B: “Sam/Dean, trauma. Sam is injured on a hunt, Dean freaks out when he thinks Sam might be dead.”
→ Post as many prompts as you like - but one prompt per comment. If you've got a couple, comment with each separately.
→ Prompts can be as short or detailed as you like. Remember though - more detail means less wriggle room for the writer, which might lower the chances of someone picking up your prompt.
→ Go through the prompts! If you find one you like, write a fic for it. There's no limit to how many users can reply to a prompt, or how many prompts someone can write for.
→ When replying to a prompt with your comment-fic, put ‘filled’ in your subject line and then anything else you want, like a title if you have one/part numbers. It’s not a big deal if you forget this step, but it will make it easier for people to find your fic.
→ Anon posting enabled.
→ NO SPOILERS FOR UNAIRED EPISODES.
→ Play nice - no flaming and no character bashing, period. Any comments that break this rule will be deleted without warning.
→ Feedback is catnip for writers. Leave some author-love!
→ No spam comments.
→ Contact one of the mods if you have a question.
→ Spread the Sam love - pimp this meme! Just copy and paste the code below:



→ Have fun!


THE MASTER LIST

[livejournal.com profile] tahirire wrote The boys are in a better place emotionally. Dean thinks past his hurt at what he saw in Sam's heaven, and gets Sam a golden retriever puppy for his birthday.

[livejournal.com profile] dime_for_12 wrote 5x03 AU. Sam already said yes. He just doesn't know or remember it. Vessel!Sam, Possessed!Sam, Eeery!Lucifer. Please include lots of Dean.

anonymous wrote After a Narrowly-Averted-Apocalypse, an old friend from Stanford runs into Sam Winchester at a gas station. He's surprised/disturbed by what he sees.

[livejournal.com profile] ratherastory wrote Sam discovers an intricate symbol that will allow him to wrench back control from Lucifer. Now he just needs someone to carve it into his back.

[livejournal.com profile] maskedfangirl wrote Happy Birthday, Sammy! Pity that it's alternate universe 5x04 and that you're having your birthday trapped inside of your own skin while the Devil ruins the world. Still, it was nice of the guy to sing to you on your birthday and he even got you a gift - he let you wander around in your body for an entire night out in the bleak remains of civilization. Of couse, everyone thinks you're the Devil and you're reviled and feared wherever you go. Worse, you're probably pretty far gone to find yourself weeping at the sound of birds on the wind or the scent of burning tires because it's just been so damned LONG since you've felt anything at all. Hey, I wonder what your chances are of getting Dean on the short wave are?

[livejournal.com profile] tifaching wrote The book that changed Sam's life. NOT The Catcher in the Rye or The Outsiders, please.

[livejournal.com profile] authoressnebula wrote I kind of have a thing for tired!Sam. And we know from 5x19 he's not been getting a lot of sleep. So, something where Sam is fighting to stay awake, maybe researching or in the car, and Dean's trying to get him to go to sleep?

[livejournal.com profile] mute90 wrote Angel/AU Spn crossover in which lawyer!Sam works at Wolfram and Hart. Sam's not evil. Just morally ambiguous in a goofy, adorable way. And now Angel has taken over Wolfram and Hart, and Lorne has instituted staff birthday parties, and it's Sam's birthday. All his work friends are there, and his non-work friends and family are invited, and it's a catastrophe. Dean is trying cheesy pickup lines on Illyria, and Bobby is making awkward smalltalk with Spike, and Castiel and Wesley are having, like, brooding, stubbly, eyesex in the corner, and Sam's pretty sure that still!alive!Jess is developing a crush on his darkly handsome, undead boss. It's the worst birthday ever, and there's something supernaturally not right about the cake...

[livejournal.com profile] authoressnebula wrote AU version of 5x10 Abandon All Hope: Sam is the one attacked by a hellhound, not Jo.

[livejournal.com profile] dime_for_12 wrote Sam's crazy plan works. He says yes to Lucifer to trap him, and manages to get him into the cage. Somehow, then or later, he is rescued, but he is physically and emotionally messed up from being possessed and locked up with Lucifer. Dean is there for him.

[livejournal.com profile] dime_for_12 wrote After a Narrowly-Averted-Apocalypse, an old friend from Stanford runs into Sam Winchester at a gas station. He's surprised/disturbed by what he sees.

[livejournal.com profile] sistabro wrote Set in or after Sam Interrupted. Sam and Dean didn't get away and the doctor fills out his threat of sending Sam to a facility that deals with violent patients. Lucifer starts visiting Sam in his dreams.

[livejournal.com profile] kalliel wrote The book that changed Sam's life. NOT The Catcher in the Rye or The Outsiders, please. [Part 2] [Part 3]

[livejournal.com profile] klutzy_girl wrote A witch the boys meet on a case decides to cast a spell on Sam as a gift for his birthday (she notices the guys have some communication hang ups)--he will not be able to inhibit what he says for a full day. Basically everything he thinks and feels comes spewing out of his mouth without his control. Including many thoughts of self-loathing and doubting Dean could ever love him the same after all that's happened, any other things you want, etc. Sam is mortified and feels exposed and stupid.

[livejournal.com profile] lassiterfics wrote Sam starts smoking at Stanford, a slow but inexorable climb towards addiction. He tries halfheartedly to hide it from Dean after Jess dies, but Dean finds out pretty quickly and is shocked and appalled.

[livejournal.com profile] caerial wrote The Winchesters spend a lot of time in Humboldt Park (a predominantly Puerto Rican neighborhood in Illinois) tracking down old contacts. John leaves Sam and Dean in the care of a friend and Sam, precocious child that he is, starts learning to speak around then. But Dean doesn't talk anymore, and John's never around, so Sam's first acquired language actually ends up being Spanish. John's beginning to realize it wasn't just his and Mary's life went up in flames. So what now?

[livejournal.com profile] m14mouse wrote A Supernatural/Buffy crossover. Stanford-era Sam and recently-chipped Spike save the world. The problem is Sam has no one to tell and Spike has no one who will believe him. So, Spike comes back to Stanford a year later with a whole bunch of bear to celebrate the day they saved the world. Sam loves the company.

[livejournal.com profile] 27_jaredjensen wrote Sam, Dean - season five after "The End". Sam is taking the Impala out to get food when he wrecks the car. He thinks this will be just one more thing that Dean will be mad at him about. Then he realizes he's hurt and ends up in the hospital. Dean takes care of him.

[livejournal.com profile] 27_jaredjensen wrote Stanford era--Sam is sick during his birthday (could be the first one at Stanford or not) but a birthday present arrives that cheers him up.

[livejournal.com profile] roque_clasique wrote Stanford era--When Dean goes to check on Sam, he's shocked to be pointed in the direction of a busy club. Turns out Sam's the lead singer of a super-emo rock band (and, yes, he IS wearing eyes liner. AND leather pants). Sam is mortified to see Dean looking like that (he finds being bombarded by female groupies while he croons melodramatically embarrassing and only joined the band to get some cash for school).

[livejournal.com profile] greeneyes_fan wrote Gen. Like we all know, Sam gets his arms sliced up pretty bad by the ghouls in 4.19. BUT for some reason, the stitches Dean put in keep dissolving and the boys don't know why. Dean is afraid that Sam is pulling the stitches out himself and Sam won't contradict him because he thinks that maybe the demon blood running through him is eating the stitches away. Either way, Sam's not healing, just getting worst. All ends shmoopily after h/c hi-jinks ensue.

[livejournal.com profile] phx69 wrote Ever since his rape on his birthday, he hasn't celebrated. Sam finally gives into Dean's questioning in why.

[livejournal.com profile] dime_for_12 wrote Sam suffers an injury that won't be fatal but that will be intensely painful for some time and/or take a long time to heal enough to get back in the hunt if it'll heal at all. Frustration, h/c, and finally he gives up and asks Dean to kill him, because he knows perfectly well he'll bounce back from that much faster.

[livejournal.com profile] sistabro wrote Sam, Chuck, booze, and useless college degrees.

Y'know, I don't think I've ever read a fic where SAM smokes!

So... um let's see...

Sam starts smoking at Stanford, a slow but inexorable climb towards addiction. He tries halfheartedly to hide it from Dean after Jess dies, but Dean finds out pretty quickly and is shocked and appalled.

FILLED - rated R - 1/3

[identity profile] twoskeletons.livejournal.com 2010-05-03 09:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Finals season causes a chain reaction: essays and exams turn into caffeine turns into sleep deprivation turns into smoking your third cigarette at four in the morning with a gaggle of dormmates that Sam has come to call his friends, even if he doesn't necessarily like them all. They're moaning about page minimums and bibliographies like it's the end of the world, and Sam joins in because it's such a novel thing, this communal bellyaching over the most benign of problems. How strange to have a soc essay be his biggest issue.

"LexisNexis can kiss my ass," Sam says, and everyone goes hear, hear.

+

When Sam was fourteen, Dad caught Dean smoking a cigarette and gave him hell. Sam was at the motel table trying to do his fractions, just trying to do some homework, trying to ignore Dad hollering in the background, but Dad just wouldn't let up. "You're supposed to be an example to your brother," Dad said, and Sam hated that, the way his father used Sam's well-being as fodder against Dean. There his older brother was, sitting there looking numb and guilty, avoiding everyone's eyes and muttering yessir nosir whenever Dad paused to take a breath.

"When you can't outrun some spook because you got emphysema," Dad said, "don't come running to me." Then he looked at Sam. "Don't ever smoke."

"What about drinking?" Sam asked, casually.

Dad glared, seethed, "Sam."

Sam said, "Maybe if Dean followed your example--"

And then Dean said, "Sam," and Sam held his tongue.

After Dad left, when it was just the two of them again, Sam commented, "Careless."

"Fuck off," said Dean, then heated up some water for their Cup Noodles. Sam was getting sick of Cup Noodles for every meal everyday, but hey, what can you do.

+

Sam bought his first pack of Camel Lights two months into his freshman year, and smoked his first cigarette after his Ancient Civ class, lighting up like he had been doing it for years. He coughed, but no one gave him a second glance, no one gave a shit. Sam Winchester was doing things for himself and the world didn't break apart, not this time, and then Sam thought of his family.

To Dad he would retort, "I'm done outrunning spooks anyway."

To Dean he would probably say, "Don't look at me like that," because Sam could just see the look on Dean's face. "Don't make this about you when it's not," Sam would say, because Dean said that to Sam once, and he'd just like to return the words, is all. Fucking shove Dean's face in it.

"Hey, man, got a light?" someone asked, and Sam, not without a friendly smile, said yeah.

+

Jess taught him how to blow smoke rings. Tipping back her head, her throat working the graceful line of her neck. "You try it," she said, but Sam's throat was too dry, and not from the cigarette.

This is what Sam is thinking about when he starts to jerk off, before his thoughts up the ante: Jess sitting on his lap with his hand between her legs, Jess with eyes closed calling his name, Jess on top of him, Jess beneath him, a jumble of memories, and Sam comes with a ragged "Fuck, shit, fuck," and then it's quiet in the motel room again.

It's been two months since he buried Jess, and Sam's still jerking off to her ghost.

Dean's out getting dinner, and the motel room is suddenly so small with its quiet, so crammed with all the things Sam left behind. He can remember with utter clarity the way Jess breathed, "Like that, Sam, yeah, fuck," the memory late to the party, echoes fading into the shitshow that is the here and now.

Sam cleans up, grabs his lighter and cigarettes, leaves, and walks wherever. He's on his third cigarette when Dean calls asking him where the hell he is.

"Went to the gas mart," Sam says, because there just happens to be one across the street. "I got hungry, so I bought some Doritos."

"You couldn't wait twenty minutes for pizza?"

"No."

He returns to the motel with Cheetos instead of Doritos, because the mart inexplicably didn't have any Doritos. If Dean notices, he doesn't remark on it, and instead tells Sam hey, have some pepperoni.

Are Sam-centric crossover prompts allowed? Because I have long craved an Angel/AU Spn crossover in which lawyer!Sam works at Wolfram and Hart.

Sam's not evil. Just morally ambiguous in a goofy, adorable way. And now Angel has taken over Wolfram and Hart, and Lorne has instituted staff birthday parties, and it's Sam's birthday. All his work friends are there, and his non-work friends and family are invited, and it's a catastrophe. Dean is trying cheesy pickup lines on Illyria, and Bobby is making awkward smalltalk with Spike, and Castiel and Wesley are having, like, brooding, stubbly, eyesex in the corner, and Sam's pretty sure that still!alive!Jess is developing a crush on his darkly handsome, undead boss. It's the worst birthday ever, and there's something supernaturally not right about the cake . . .

Not like I demand all those exact details, but you get the idea. Any crossover fans? Pretty please?

This was a nightmare. No, the time he spent his whole birthday climbing through the pipes while a demon literally ate the law firm was a nightmare. This… This was beyond a nightmare. This was his personal hell.

Sam watched his cake glow ominously. He gave it a pointed look before looking across the room. Nobody else noticed.

“I’m evil. Grrr. Evil. But nobody gives me a bloody ounce of respect,” Spike was complaining in the corner. He took a bite of his bright pink cupcake with the cabbage patch girl painstakingly drawn on the top and then turned to his purple nurple.

Bobby nodded awkwardly, “Imagine that.”

The cake was jiggling. His birthday cake was jiggling like Jello and was at a glow-in-the-dark level and nobody was paying any attention.

Sam looked at Castiel for assistance – guardian angel and all.

Castiel was not looking at him. Sam followed his eyes to Wesley returning the stare. He looked back at Castiel. He looked back at Wesley. Back at Castiel. Back at Wesley.

He was now convinced he was cursed.

“You know I’m actually an alien, right?” No, wait, Dean was cursed, cursed to remain a horny idiot for all eternity. He leaned in close to Illyria. “It’s weird here. There’s nobody else like me. It’s – It’s lonely.”

She was going to rip out his lungs. Sam was sure of it.

And how did anyone not notice the cake?!

He supposed it could be because he was standing by the cake. After all, how could anyone notice the cake when nobody even noticed the birthday boy? He was being ignored at his own birthday, in favor of identity crisis’, eye-sex, and a death-wish.

He turned a thoroughly dejected face toward Jess or, at least, where Jess had been. She wasn’t there anymore.

There was loud, jingly Jess Laughter and Sam followed it to his girlfriend.

“You don’t look anywhere near that old,” she told Angel. “Trust me.”

Well, that was just it.

The cake was glowing, jiggling, and rising now. Sam walked right past it and out the doors, which he closed and locked behind him just in time hear the muffled, “What the hell is that?!”

There were running feet, yelling, and some banging on the door.

Harmony looked up from filing her nails. She looked at the locked door. Angel pounded on the other side. “A little help here! Harmony”

She gave a put upon sigh and got to her feet.

Sam blocked her path. “That was the worst birthday ever,” he said, sadly. Puppy dog eyes went up to level ten. “They all ignored me.”

Before he knew it, he was sitting on a desk chair with a cupcake in his hand and Harmony patting his head in comfort. “Those bastards,” she exclaimed.

…and Angel pounded on the door uselessly.

Dean's a little hurt when 15 year old Sam stops hanging out with him afterschool. He figures it's a teenager thing--Sam must think it's not cool to hang out with his big brother all the time or something--espcially when the big brother in question is a high school dropout. Not that he'd ever admit it, but Dean misses spending so much time with Sam and it stings that Sam would apparently rather spend his afternoons with his geeky honor student friends than with him.

Turns out, though, that Sam isn't really hanging out with his friend's like he says--he's been working at Hot Dog on a Stick to save up money for a birthday present for Dean.

Dean catches him in action!

Sam’s powers return stronger than ever without ever touching demon blood. He’s better able to fight and protect what he loves, but Sam grows more unstable and is losing his grip on reality. He’s aware of what’s happening, but there’s nothing anyone can do about it and Sam’s alright with everything except how it’s killing Dean to lose him. Loving Dean a must. Cas and Bobby would be wonderful. One big happy family.

"Fuck, Sam, this fucking sucks," Chuck whines morosely into his half empty mug of beer.

Sam squints at him from his remaining eye. "Uh, we saved the world, dude. Not seeing the suckage so much."

"Dude, you lost an eye and a hand. Seriously, that sucks."

"There is still beer and I can still drink it. Still counting it as a win."

Chuck concedes the point with a half salute of his glass before taking another swallow.

"Okay, yeah, beer is good. And I'm pretty happy about not being reduced to toilet paper hoarding dude in a world over run with crazy killers." And wasn't that book a bitch to write, with the two Deans and the white loafers of cheesiness, Christ. "It's just, what the fuck do I do now?"

"Whaddya mean?"

"Well, I mean you read the books, right? I'm a shit writer, dude. It was the story that sold and it wasn't even mine, ya know? I'm a bad writer with no story and a fucking degree in Art History. What the fuck do I do with that?"

Sam gives a single-eyed, incredulous stare. It's kinda creepy actually. "Wait, you got a degree in what?"

Chuck can feel his face heat up and takes another drink. Shit, he must be drunker than he thought. "Art History."

"Why the fuck would you even do that? Wait, you did it to meet girls, didn't you? Fuck man, that's just sad. I mean, yeah I took one art history class as a freshman, but a whole fucking degree?"

"I liked the statues," Chuck admits. "But like you're one to talk, Mr. Pre-Law. That's like a degree that can't even stand by itself, like preschool without kindergarten or something. At least mine is, ya know, useless on its own."

"Oh, fuck you. Pre-Law is way better than Art History. There's like ethics and philosophy and…well, shit."

Chuck raises his mug in triumph, point made, and finishes off his beer. Sam puts his own beer down to grab the pitcher, pours Chuck another one and top off his own. His aim is a little off, but Chuck doesn't say anything cause, well, it's not Sam's fault he doesn't have any depth perception any more. He can totally be gracious in victory.

They drink in silence for a few minutes, pondering the bleakness of their futures in a non-post-apocalyptic world.

"Think you'll ever go back? Get a real degree?" Chuck asks after a while.

Sam's eye looks sideways to where is Dean is chatting up the bartender. "Nah, I think I'm good. You?"

Chuck tries to imagine sitting in a lecture hall with people half his age listening to some pompous asshole drone on about management or economics or some useful boring shit like that and shudders.

"Nah, I think I'm good, too. Writer's block can't last forever, right?"

"Right," Sam agrees firmly. He raises his glass, "To useless degrees."

"To useless degrees," Chuck echoes and the dull clink of the mugs meeting is oddly satisfying. The beer is also really good, cold and with a bitter bite. He chugs half his glass cause it's not like he has anywhere to be tomorrow being self–employed and all, and then asks, "So, Mr. Freshman Art History class, Grant Wood or Grandma Moses?"

Season One or Two. Sam makes a wish that everything could be different. You can interpret this however you want - maybe Mary never died, or maybe he's not just half of "SamnDean". Anyway, it ends up all wrong and he's upset because it's all his fault. I'd prefer a happy ending, but that's not necessary.

In Swapmeat, Sam swaps with Gary, except in this version of events, Gary is a girl named Gabby.

Ickle!Sam, Dean, gen, set preseries. John leaves the boys at a library in a town while he does investigative work for a hunt, but of course he ends up delayed or mistakes the closing hours or something. Cue anxious librarians, nervous Dean, and oblivious Sammy who thinks everything's okay as long as Dean's around.

Sam/Jess, Stanford-era. Anything about Sam dealing with his past life - his scars, insomnia/nightmares, odd triggers - and Jess trying to be understanding, but perplexed. Perhaps awkward conversations in which it becomes clear she's concluded from all his silence that his family was abusive likewhoa. Or maybe a scene when he's visiting her family that becomes awkward or triggers nostalgia for Sam. Bonus for unexpected communication with Dean (maybe he calls and she picks up?) which makes Sam freak out. Or even a slightly AU world where John calls/shows up and Jess is very cold to him because of what she thinks he did to Sam.

Heh, anything dealing with part of this prompt would be great.

Request: Sam's secret suicide attempt.

Dean finds out that Sam tried to kill himself his first year at Stanford before he met Jess. Obviously it didn't work but the possibilites of what could have been shake Dean to the core.

And we all know a emotional dean is a angry out of control Dean.

Bonus points if things get physical (in a non-wincesty way please).

Abigaíl pressed the intercom. "Mr. Brady, Mr. Winchester."

"Send him in," Eric's voice answered, and Sam opened the office door and closed it behind himself. "So, Mr. Winchester, what's the progress with the Clayton case?"

"Jack shit and the cup to drink it with. You'd think people would have a little less trouble understanding that a problem on the hospital end of the vaccine distribution is the hospital's fault, not ours, and therefore we are not liable." Sam snagged the bottle of bourbon out of Eric's desk drawer, put down two paper cups from the break room, and poured two shots. "How's things here?"

Eric took his cup, tapped it against Sam's, and drank. "Some days I swear you and I are the only people at this place who can find our asses with both hands and—Sam!"

Sam grinned, using his hands on Eric's hips to lever Eric out of the chair. "You need a break as much as I do."

Sam turns, hits his hand on something hard. The desk? A light clicks on, Dean's hand on the switch, Dean in the other bed in the crap motel room. Sam drags in a breath, another, and decides he really does need a drink. He goes over to the fridge, grabs two beers, holds one out to Dean, sits next to him and they clink bottles and drink. Dean doesn't bother asking what the nightmare was about. Sam doesn't bother going back to his own bed.
