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

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.

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.

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.

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?

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

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?

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...

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

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

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.

sistabro wrote Sam, Chuck, booze, and useless college degrees.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

The doctor's office is the exact same as last time, except John is making no effort to chat up the flirty receptionist. They sit side-by-side in chairs, silent and still. When they get taken back to the office, it's Dean who grabs Sam's hand this time.

The doctor hums and putters about, but other than the fact that Sam has dropped five pounds, not much is different. “Sometimes these things just take a while to resolve,” he says, amicably but Dean gets the sense that he says this to a lot of overprotective parents. “I'll write a prescription for a different cough syrup...”

“No,” Dean interrupts.

“Dean,” John warns, but his son isn't listening.

“No, you need to see Sam cough.”

“Son,” the man says slowly. “Sam hasn't coughed at all. I know that it seems...”

“No,” Dean repeats. “You need to hear it. You need to see it.”

John tries to reason, but Dean won't be budged, and Sam is as always taking his cues from his big brother. They sit for another five minutes and John has begun apologizing for wasting the doctor's times when Sam begins to cough.

The doctor looks stunned once Sam is done, lips tinged blue and listing on the table, but Dean doesn't have time for him because his little brother looks miserable. Sam's wearing the exact same expression that he does when he's done something wrong and that's just too much for Dean. He gets up and goes over to the exam table and puts an arm around Sam's shoulders.

The doctor is much more serious now, as he asks Sam to lie back. Dean nods his okay and Sam does so. The doctor takes a long, thin swab and places it gently in front of Sam's nostril. Dean lays a comforting hand on Sam's arm and the doctor's hand plunges down quickly, swab disappearing into Sam's nose and coming back out just as fast.

Sam's coughing, but they're small and once Dean convinces himself that it's not another fit he asks, “What was that?”

The doctor puts the swab away. “A nasopharyngeal swab. I'm going to run some tests and get back to you tomorrow, but I'm going to write you a prescription for some erithromycin. It's an antibiotic. I think it'll help.” He scribbles on his pad of paper and gives the sheet to John. “Make sure that Sam takes all of the pills, even if he stops coughing.”

“What do you think it is?” John asks.

“Pertussis,” the doctor replies. “Whooping cough. I won't know until I get the test back, but I want to make sure that we start treating it right away, if I'm right. It's highly contagious.”

“Highly contagious? Will Dean get it? I thought people didn't get that anymore.”

“It's rare, now that there's a vaccine. Were your children vaccinated?”

“Dean was,” John replies confidently. “I think Sam got some shots, but... his mother died when he was six months old and... you know.”

The room is quiet. Dean strokes his hand along Sam's arm. Their dad does the best he can and sometimes things fall by the wayside. Dean understands, he does. But he's looking at Sam sitting hunched in on himself in the tiny exam room and he isn't feeling very forgiving.

-*-

Sam doesn't like being sick, but he sure doesn't seem to mind the perks. John buys them real food, good food, like steak and potatoes and ice cream. It turns out that he could've been home a few days earlier, but even as Sam was coughing and throwing up he was touring the area bars and cheating the locals out of a few hundred dollars. With a new surplus of cash, they live well as Sam finishes up his week of antibiotics.

Two weeks and they leave the town and it gets categorized as yet another thing that Winchesters Don't Talk About, but Dean never forgets the sight of his brother's face turning slowly blue. He loves his dad and even more importantly he understands his dad, but from then on there's only one person he trusts with Sammy's health and safety, and that's himself.

Oh, BOYS! I love Dean being Supermommy with the doctor, and I love Sam's quiet stoicism.

Thanks for reading, I'm glad you enjoyed it. :) Dean totally is Supermommy, even at some points in the show, and I love that about him.

Awesome and the last line was killer. Whooping cough! Brilliant!

Thanks! Glad you liked it. :)
