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.

Filled: Atticus

“Really, “ Dean drawled mockingly. “Really, Sam? You really think these are normal people?”

“They are, Dean! It’s just them and their dad and they live in one place and go to one school and have the same friends all year long. Dad could stay in one place and get a job and we could be normal too.”

“Did their mom burn to death on a ceiling? Is that why they don’t have a mom?”

“Shut up, Dean.”

“Well, is it?”

“It doesn’t say what happened to her. “

“But you’re sure she died in some normal way.”

“Everyone else I know who doesn’t have a mom had their mom die in some normal way.”

“Yeah, so they say,” Dean muttered darkly. “Look, Sam, would you really want this Atticus guy for a dad?”

“I pretty much want anyone but our dad as a dad, but yeah. If I could pick a dad, I’d pick him.”

Dean’s expression went from mad to hurt, but all he said was, “Why?”

“Because he’s smart.”

“Dad’s smart”

“Because he can shoot.”

Dean just cocked an eyebrow at that one.

“And he helps people, Dean. People in trouble. People who can’t help themselves.”

“What exactly do you think Dad does, Sam? Doesn’t he help people in trouble who can’t help themselves? He does, Sam. You know he does!”

“You know what the difference is, Dean? Atticus manages to help people in trouble and be there for his kids at the same time. Our dad’s never here for us. Never.”

“He let his kids get attacked by some whack- job hillbilly with a knife! That was being there for them?”

“When his kids came home hurt he was there. He made sure a doctor came to take care of them and he stayed with them until he knew they were all right.”

“So?”

“So what happened last month when that angry spirit practically ripped your lungs out?”

“Sam.”

“What happened, Dean?”

“I was fine.”

“You weren’t fine, you were bleeding all over the place and Dad left you here to stitch yourself up while he went to salt and burn the bones.”

Dean just shook his head. “He had to do that, Sam.”

“He didn’t have to do it right that second. He could have stayed and taken care of you. Atticus would never have left Jem or Scout after they got hurt.”

“Atticus isn’t real, Sam! Their nice, normal life isn’t real! You want that though? You really want that? Okay, Sam. You can be the normal kid who almost gets stabbed to death while dressed as a ham, though. ‘Cause what’s more normal than that? I’ll be the normal kid who heroically tries to save his younger sister-that’s definitely you, Sammy. Yeah, I’m starting to see this. I won’t get my arm broken, though. No hick with a knife is going to take me out. No weirdo from down the block is going to save you either. You don’t need anybody looking out for you but me and Dad. Oh, sorry, I mean me and Atticus.”

Dean slammed out the door, shaking his head and Sam just watched him go. He picked up his battered copy of To Kill A Mockingbird from the couch where Dean had tossed it. The book had been assigned reading two schools ago, but Sam had stuffed it into his duffle and made sure he had taken it along when they moved. The story of the country lawyer who worked hard helping people, but was still always there for his children had just resonated with Sam and he had given the book to Dean to read too. Dean couldn’t see it though. See that there were other ways to help people, other ways to live. Sam knew he was smart, knew he had a chance to get out if he played his cards right. And now he knew what he wanted to do after he made his escape. He wanted to help people, have a normal life, and be there for his family. He wanted to be Atticus Finch.

Ohman, did you read my mind? ♥ I thought of two books that would fit this when I saw the prompt, and the first of those two was To Kill A Mockingbird. This made my heart ache and feels very true to Sam. I could really see him being affected like this.

Re: Filled: Atticus

[identity profile] roque-clasique.livejournal.com 2010-05-03 06:29 am (UTC)(link)
out of curiosity... what was the second?

Re: Filled: Atticus

[identity profile] whitereflection.livejournal.com 2010-05-03 01:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Moby Dick, heh. Just to play around with the similarities Sam could see between his father and Ahab.

*facepalm* I kind of love that, though I have a hard time imagining even Sam getting through the entirety of that dreary book. Don't get me wrong, the beginning and end are great, but the middle...

Lol, Ahab as John Winchester, though. Sam would love that. "THIS IS WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN TO US, GUYZ."

Re: Filled: Atticus

[identity profile] roque-clasique.livejournal.com 2010-05-04 09:40 am (UTC)(link)
LOL, I surprised myself by loving that book SO FREAKIN' MUCH, was absolutely totally but completely obsessed a few years ago. Now that you mention it I'm kind of desperate for an Ahab-Winchester fic of some kind...

[identity profile] tifaching.livejournal.com 2010-05-03 12:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you so much! I thought of To Kill A Mockingbird as soon as I saw the prompt too! It's one of my favorite books and the theme of the single father who was always there for his children AND who was a lawyer just seemed right for this. What was the other book and are you answering the prompt with it? Please?

Re: Filled: Atticus

[identity profile] whitereflection.livejournal.com 2010-05-03 01:44 pm (UTC)(link)
I'd also thought of Moby Dick, because of the obvious parallels that could be drawn between John and Ahab, and it sort of amused me to have Sam pondering if he was Ishmael, and if that then meant Dean was Queequeg.

But no, not answering the prompt with it. Writing and I haven't gotten along hugely well these last few months, heh.

AHAHAHAHAHA dying of laughter

It's perfect, though! Especially with the playing-footsie-in-bed scene at the beginning. :D

OH MAN THAT WAS AWESOME. You just explained why Sam wanted to be a lawyer!!!! Basically he wants to be his dad... except "normal" and "better." Thank you SO MUCH for answering this prompt!

Re: Filled: Atticus

[identity profile] tifaching.livejournal.com 2010-05-03 12:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Yay! Thank you, I'm so happy you like it! Sam wants an idealized dad to emulate and Atticus is the best literary dad ever IMO. And Atticus and John DO have some similarities. Sam can't see that, of course, all he can see are the differences. Once again, I'm thrilled that you enjoyed this!

Thank you! And your icon! I was trying to picture the boys in my head while I was writing this and that's them. Just at that age. So glad you enjoyed!

[identity profile] dante-s-hell.livejournal.com 2010-05-04 01:28 am (UTC)(link)
Wow! Great choice for a novel. Spot on! You illustrated the point of Sam wanting to be a lawyer very well. And I loved his argument that a good dad would have stayed home to take care of Dean when he was hurt. All around goodness! Thanks!

Re: Filled: Atticus

[identity profile] tifaching.livejournal.com 2010-05-04 11:22 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed! And a good dad WOULD have stayed hom to take care of Dean when he was hurt. I love John, but his parenting skills left a lot to be desired.

[identity profile] blubird-pie.livejournal.com 2010-05-04 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
Sam and Atticus, perfect! I love how you describe what Sam likes about the book- that Atticus is helping people in a "normal" way that allows him to still care for his kids, and how that springs from a concern for his brother and ties into his Stanford education, too! I love that he wanted to share the book with Dean– your characterization of Dean defending their lifestyle is spot on.

Re: Filled: Atticus

[identity profile] tifaching.livejournal.com 2010-05-04 11:24 am (UTC)(link)
Wow, what a great comment, thank you so much! I so much wanted all of that to come through and I'm glad it worked for you. Atticus would be the perfect fictional role model for Sam and he'd never, ever get Dean to see it. Thanks again for the lovely comment!

Sweetie,

We just re-watched To Kill a Mockingbird just the other day. I love that story so much! I can completely see this happening. You did a wonderful job, as always, with the prompt. :)

Thank you!

Thank YOU for reading and leaving such a lovely comment. I usually hate the movie version of books that I have loved, but that one was just so true to the book! Don't why all adaptations can't be that way. :(( Thanks so much for the nice words!

This was really good and reminds me that at some point soon, I really do need to read To Kill a Mockingbird *fails as an English major*

Re: Filled: Atticus

Oh, definitely read it! Thanks so much for reading and commenting!

[identity profile] harrigan.livejournal.com 2010-05-04 10:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Awesome!

It was never really clear to me why in canon Sam aspired to be a lawyer - but if he thinks of Atticus Finch when he thinks of lawyers, that makes perfect sense!

Re: Filled: Atticus

[identity profile] tifaching.livejournal.com 2010-05-04 10:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you! To Kill A Mockingbird just came into my mind as soon as I saw the prompt. I mean, something had to make Sam want to become a lawyer, and Atticus would do it for me! Glad you enjoyed and thanks for the nice comment!
