comment fic meme!

It's the week leading up to Sam's birthday, which means *drumroll* pain! Pain and horror and terror and illness - and ~~a wee bit of~~ comfort too!

SPREAD THE WORD

THE RULES

→ Leave a comment here with your prompt. This is a Sam-focused hurt/comfort community, so Sam should be the one in the hurt/comforted role. Your prompts may involve sick!Sam, hurt!Sam, angsty!Sam, basically anything that results in Sam being on the receiving end of hurt/comfort. (No rules against whumping other characters as well, of course, but you have to whump Sam first. ;) )
→ In your prompt, please state your desired characters or pairings. All genres/pairings welcome, but no real-person (RPF) 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.

Back to Where We Were by

Sam now has a Thing about cages. A jail cell is a cage.

And In My Soul, An Icy Dread Remains by

authoressnebula
Sam gets himself locked in a freezer. The memories of Hell's frozen lake. Lucifer's icy touch, all those fun things, are banging on the wall and Sam? Sam's not coping too well.

Which Way Do I Steer by

Same Time, Same Place by

twoskeletons
Highlight to Reveal Summary - Spoilers for 6.18 [Sam & Castiel... Cas desperately needs to power up a lot and often to fight his war, and the soul of Lucifer's vessel is the most powerful one around. Sam helps him willingly, but it's still extremely unpleasant and draining.]

And Thus Was a Giant Felled by

running_hot
Tall guys constantly get roped into changing light bulbs when shorter humans would need to get a ladder -- like the bulbs in the twelve-foot kitchen ceiling at Jess's parents' house. Sam really should have known better than to stand on a swivel chair to do it.

A Sore Topic by

phx69
Highlight to Reveal Summary - Spoilers for 6.18. [Sam, who is the very definition of a novice rider, had to ride 20 miles to Colt's and 20 miles back. I would love me some saddle sore, limping Sam.]

Here It Comes, There It Goes Again by

lavishsqualor
What with detoxes and resoulings, Sam's memories of the panic room can't be good. So it's unfortunate that they are under some supernatural siege at Bobby's and retreating into the panic room and closing the door is the only way to be safe.

Better On Our Own by

si_star_x
Small fracture in a limb--not OBVIOUSLY broken, but hurts like hell, and no, you really can't use the limb. Sam gets it checked, but the first x-ray misses it.

Carried Home by

samidha
Highlight - Spoilers for 6.18. [Dean, after hearing how soul juice helps Castiel, gets the bright idea to use his own soul to help Sam with the whole wall thing ... And if that isn't Sam-hurty enough for this comm, make the process of healing Sam's soul involve remembering hell. Bonus points if the fallout from this involves le classic telepathic soul-bond.]

Visible Evidence by

authoressnebula
Sam's always spent a lot of time online, researching this and that, even when there's no immediate hunt. Dean doesn't think there's anything significant about it now. Though Sam's getting obsessed. Dean wakes up at three, four in the morning to the glow of the laptop screen and the tap of the keyboard. exhausted!sam

A Certain Beginning by

mimblexwimble
AU Pilot. As horrible as the situation is, Dean's still sort of glad to know that 22 years later he can still carry his baby sister out of a burning building, even if she's now a heavily pregnant amazon.

Shot Down in Flames by

winchesterhaunt
Highlight to reveal - spoilers for 6.18. [In the final shootout, both guns were fired. Dean's shot found it's mark. The Phoenix's shot went wide...and hit Sam.]

Hell Shall Not Wash Us Away

brosedshield
The problem with permanent damage to the soul is that death does nothing to fix it. The wall lasts through Sam's life, and he and Dean are in their shared heaven, but there begin to be cracks and fissures. Sam stumbles from happy memories into memories of hell. And because this part of heaven is actually constructed of memory, this is shaking the fabric of things. Just Dean and Sam's heaven for now, but it's going to spread. Cas has a responsibility to heaven; he's going to have to seal off this part and set it adrift. Dean has the choice to leave if he wants to before that happens, but do we really think he'll take it? Cue Dean and Sam in their own bubble apocalypse, where the islands of sanity are fewer and farther between every day.

balance good, everything good by

Sam and Dean are sparring and Dean slips/misjudges and cracks one of Sam's ribs. Sam doesn't mention it.

Unravelling by

emmram
Highlight to read - spoilers for 6.18 [Castiel has become addicted to the whole soul-touching thing, and Sam's soul? That's something special he can't get enough of. That doesn't make it any more pleasant for Sam.]

Along Every Horizon by

twoskeletons
If Dean were to die on Sam now I don’t think Sam would ... fade, get killed by some random monster, not out of any suicidal drive, but just because he was having trouble paying attention to details like food or sleep or ravening creatures with lots of big, nasty teeth.

Kiss it All Better by

sakura_no_mi
Sam and Dean are having sex and it goes all wrong. Sam falls off the bed and then manages to slam his head against the head board when he and Dean try again. Dean feels guilty and goes overboard in trying to help him recover.

You Have One Saved Message by

killabeez
After Sam gets his phone back, it's time for a new one. The phone company's awesome enough to retrieve his contacts, his address book, his games, his photos, oh, and one voicemail he's had saved for what's now going on almost three years. Dean gets a hold of the new phone with all of this stuff first. Dean hears The Voicemail first. Dean is so not cool with it. Because to keep an email for beyond fourteen days, someone's gotta keep listening to it and making it fresh and resetting the delete date. Which means Sam's still been listening to it.

nothing left to lose by

sikeminatural
When Sam is pulled from Hell by some unknown force (up to the author) a year after the showdown, he has his soul and goes to find Dean who is not living with Lisa but alone, and still hunting. Dean takes him in but its easy to see that Dean depsises Sam, he beats him, verbally abuses him, uses his memories of Hell to hurt him and blames Sam for everything that has happened. Sam becomes brainwashed and at first fights back but then starts to accept it. Would love if Cas or Bobby come and save Sam and make Dean see the error of his ways!

Never Buy Yellow Shoes by

tversan
Sam buys a pair of cursed shoes that squeeze his precious little feet. He hobbles around, unable to take the wretched things off and they seem to get smaller and smaller the more he tries.

Heart of Stone by

mamapranayama
A curse slowly turns Sam into stone. Frist his feet, then his legs - working its way up until he's completely motionless, cold hard rock. Your descision whether or not he's accompanied, whether the curse is broken, or whether he's simply left to turn to stone alone.

Some Guys Have All the Luck by

si_star_x
Gen. S1-S3. Sam passes a Kidney Stone... or a series of them (your choice whether there's only one or several of them) -- and possibly has a kidney infection on top of it. Just give me whimper-y, tear-y Sam trying to piss and failing and the little he manages to pass is bloody and feels like shards of burning glass.

Let it Bleed by

sakura_no_mi
Sam got into a fight (with a person or a monster), he's roughened up a bit, sore, bruised, scratched and dirty, and he really, really doesn't have any strength left. Dean drags him (carries, really) to a motel room, undresses him, grabs a wet washcloth and starts to clean him up in silence. His touches go from caring to sensuous to heated while all the time being very slow, deliberate and careful. Sam lies there and takes it, mesmerized by his brother's touch, his breath catching and heart beating faster.

To Die For a Memory by

authressnebula
Season five. Sam is captured by a Djiin or some similar creature that keeps its prey docile by trapping them in a mental prison. Whatever the brain spits up as a treasured, wonderful memory becomes the gilded prison that keeps you docile and too happy to fight back. Dean saves the day and kills the creature, but Sam won't wake up. Desperate, Dean whips up some dreamroot tea and goes in after him.

Out of the Dark by

samidha
Sam accidentally gets trapped in the panic room for reasons up to the author. Dean doesn't find him until Sam's in the midst of a flashback with Accusing!Dean and doesn't recognize real!Dean. Dean has to talk him back to reality.

Fade, Far Away, Dissolve, and Quite Forget by

minviendha
Gen or Wincest AU of "The End"- In "The End" when Dean tells Sam that they should stay away from one another, Sam takes it to heart. He cuts off all ties with Bobby and any other mutual acquaintances in order to avoid inadvertently having contact with Dean. Not because he doesn't WANT to see Dean (he does) but he knows that Dean doesn't want to see HIM, and he's pretty sure he's a curse to anyone who cares about him. So it's just better that he disappear.

All is Fine by

moviegeek03
Teen!Chesters. Dean's away on a hunt with Caleb and with Dean gone there's no buffer between Sam and John. Sam isn't meaning to be all angsty and rebelling against his Dad but the new school he's in he's having a hard time because he's getting bullied almost constantly and it's hard hiding bruises and cuts from his Dad but he manages somehow. He didn't want to tell Dean because he doesn't want to appear weak in his eyes and he sure as hell doesn't want to tell his Dad because he knows what his Dad will say No son of mine just get's bullied. Cue John not being a total dick but somehow finding out what Sam's been going through and comforts him/takes care of the problem.

He Ain't Heavy by

beamin_sunshine
After getting his soul back, or maybe after a couple seizures, Sam wakes up in Dean's bed, which is definitely not where he was when he went to sleep. Sam is embarrassed, even though Dean doesn't really mind all that much. But then it keeps happening, with Sam never remembering getting up. Now Dean's starting to get a little annoyed because, as much as he loves the kid, Sam is not the best person to share a bed with, he moves around and makes noises and clings, so Dean gets him his own hotel room, just so he can get some sleep for once. But even that doesn't keep Sam away. As mangled as his soul is, once the brain is shut down, it's going to go find it's mate. Gen, please.

Big Things, Small Packages by

winchesterhaunt
2.06, No Exit. H.H. Holmes doesn't usually take men, but he is getting dangerously close to his lair. Sam's trapped in a space nearly to tight for him to turn his head. His knees ache from being crammed up against the top, his scalp is bleeding, he's pretty sure his wrist is messed up worse, there's a hysterical woman with him for company, and all he can do is wait and hope for Dean and Jo to find him.

Points of Authority by

kiscinca
So the boys have just gotten back together after taking a break, and they're already arguing with each other, or really, Dean's arguing with Sam while Sam's attempting to not argue but still getting pissed off at Dean. Then Dean throws down the trump card: that Castiel was the one who saved Dean, not Sam. Sam was obviously too busy screwing Ruby.

Really Bad Day at Black Rock by

Dean has to cut off one of Sam's limbs.

Just One of Those Weeks by

Sam is having a really, really, really, crappy week and just needs a hug...

To Die for a Memory

authoressnebula
Sam is captured by a Djiin or some similar creature that keeps its prey docile by trapping them in a mental prison. Whatever the brain spits up as a treasured, wonderful memory becomes the gilded prison that keeps you docile and too happy to fight back. Dean saves the day and kills the creature, but Sam won't wake up. Desperate, Dean whips up some dreamroot tea and goes in after him. He finds Sam reliving the same memory over and over again - the two of them as kids, playing hooky from training, laying out in a field of grass on a summer day watching clouds and wrestling and just being BROTHERS.

Until Death Do Us Part by

phx69
I don't care what the situation. I just want Dean carrying Sam bridal style.

All Waters Have the Color of Drowning by

minviendha
Meg captures the boys -- somehow -- and decides to have some fun with them -- because she's crazy. And as she goes to work on Sam, she somehow accidentally triggers a Hell seizure. Her reaction: Ooh, Sammy. Twice the bang for the buck. Let's do that again!

"Sammy," Dean says softly, trying to get the kid's attention. It takes half a minute - not that Dean's counting or anything - before Sam finally tears his gaze away.

Dean nods towards the pizza. Sam makes a silent 'oh' of realization, like he just forgot that it existed. He takes a bite, but as he chews, he watches the screen.

Dean feels like a failure as far as big brothers go. The kid's wearing himself to the ground, and Dean's left the helpless person who watches it happen. Again. God this entire thing reeks of that year before Dean went to Hell.

And frankly, it sucks a serious amount of ass.

"Sam?"

Sam's so intent on what he's focused on that he doesn't seem to hear Dean until the fifth time. Then it's a slow pull-away until his gaze meets Dean's. "Yeah?" he says. It's obvious from tone and face that he's elsewhere.

Dean just sighs. "Never mind," he says. Then, "If you're just gonna poke at that slice, can I have it?"

Sam glares at him, then grabs the slice and takes a huge defiant bite. He turns back to the screen, but his hand hovers over the pizza slice. It'll be forgotten about in half a minute again, Dean's sure.

But his never-fail tactic work, and Sam took another bite. Dean'll take his wins how and when he can.

------

Sam's in the shower. It's not exactly an earth-shattering moment: they take showers. It's what good, clean people do. But consider the fact the kid did fall asleep at breakfast today, well, it becomes more necessary to do two things.

One, bitch and shout at Sam through the door in order to keep the kid awake.

Two, get on the damn laptop and see what he's been doing.

"You better leave some hot water, bitch," Dean yells as he flips the laptop lid open. Most of the keys on the keyboard don't even have letters on them anymore; they've all been worn away.

"Longer you keep me from taking a shower, the less likely your chances are," Sam yells back. Still awake, then.

The history's not clean. The kid's actually been so intent and focused and out of it that he didn't wipe the history of the browser away. He pulls up the word document program and pops up the list of recently opened documents. Two, in the past few weeks, continue to headline the top. He opens them both, then sets about digging through the history.

They're all news websites. News about weather, news about world weather, news about the earthquake-

Dean stops. This is all old news. News from before Lucifer got shoved back in his hole. He turns back to the word documents in the hopes that it'll get him somewhere.

One is just a list of URLs to all the websites, as well as random numbers for newspapers. Reference numbers, like citing something. Only his geek brother, he thinks with a grin. "You better not use my razor!" Dean shouts, lips still turned up.

Then he gets a look at the other word document and stops smiling completely.

It reads like a journal. A horrible journal of death.

January 10th: 2 killed in explosion trying to fight Lucifer. 4,000 killed in tsunami off California's coast.

January 11th: 6,000 lost in earthquake in west coast. 2,500 estimated lost in earthquake in Mexico.

January 12th: 1,700 dead from hurricane in states of Florida, Missippi, Alabama, and Georgia.

The list goes on, though the numbers start to decrease. The days following Death's release at Lucifer's hand had been numerous. Dean's gotta admit, seeing Ellen and Jo mentioned as casualties makes his throat tighten up. Near the end of the list, they're down to hundreds, low hundreds, not high thousands like they were before.

Still, it's a hell of a lot of people. And at the bottom is a running tally. The number leaves Dean breathless for just a moment. So many dead.

And then it occurs to him to wonder why the hell Sam's actually calculating the death toll.

He figures he'll get an answer when the bathroom door opens. "Dean?" Sam asks, and of course, the kid's awake and aware of things enough to know that Dean's on his laptop.

"Hey, you didn't fall asleep in there," Dean says cheerfully.

Sam doesn't look amused. "Dean, what the hell are you doing with my laptop?"

Time to come clean. "Checking up on whatever the hell's destroying my little brother," Dean says truthfully. "Whatever it is, it's eating at you. You can't sleep, you don't eat...it occur to you that maybe I'm, I don't know, worried about you?"

Sam stops, like it actually hadn't occurred to him. It probably hadn't. "It's...just a small side project," he says, and Dean knows a fudging of the truth when he hears one.

"This is the stuff that's so critical? A side project isn't 'critical', Sam," Dean says, raising his eyebrows. "You're wearing yourself out over old news-"

"It's personal," Sam interjects suddenly, and that actually makes Dean stop.

"Personal?"

Sam fidgets. "I can't look into the past year," he says at last. "And I won't do it, I swear. But it just...it started small, as a way to maybe find some of the people whose lives I destroyed, and then there were so many that I-"

"Woah, woah, wait a minute," Dean cuts him off, holding his hand up. What the hell? "Lives you destroyed?"

Sam looks down at his hands, damp hair dangling in his face. "If I'd managed to put Lucifer away sooner, none of them would've died," he says softly. "I could've stopped so much."

"So much..." Dean's completely at a loss for words. Oh dear god this is so not what he'd been expecting. "Sammy," he says gently, for lack of anything else.

Sam moves around him and types at something on his laptop. Another website pops up, this one a network of images. Smashed homes scroll by in a flurry of images, followed by pictures of grieving families, children staring blankly at the wreckage of their home. Bodies covered with sheets, soldiers and volunteers helping the survivors, people being treated in hospitals...it's enough to steal Dean's breath away. Sam pulls up another website, and the random numbers Sam's been compiling suddenly become more personal. David Amberton, Alicia Anitas, Rebecca Annell... Thousands of names, all with a date of birth and all with one final date stamped on the end. They're not numbers anymore, they're names. They're people.

And Sam's been staring at this shit for weeks.

"I did this," Sam manages to get out. "If I'd done what I needed to do months before, if I'd managed to get myself under control enough to handle putting Lucifer away, then I could've taken probably half the names off this list, Dean. We're talking thousands of people whose lives would've been saved." He turns his eyes to the screen and swallows hard. "I did this," he whispers again.

"No," Dean says, voice low but firm. When Sam looks up at him with confusion, all Dean sees are the dark circles and not even a hint of the hell Sam went through, literally, to save the world.

"No," he says again. "Lucifer did this. Death did this. You didn't."

When Sam begins to protest, Dean grabs his arm and hauls him to the window. He rips the curtains apart and watches Sam wince in the sudden sunlight. "You see that?" he says, gesturing to the world. Cars whip by the small motel, filled with people going who knows where. A family of four is piling into some random SUV, laughing and talking about where they're going next. People are walking down the street, into stores, living. And that's just the crap-ass town they're in now.

He sees the minute Sam gets it. Sam's eyes glisten, but he doesn't cry. "Dean-"

"This is what you did," Dean says quietly. "This is what you saved. Lucifer was always going to rack up a body count. You kept it small. Thousands of people, Sam, and yeah, it sucks. God knows it was wrong and horrible, but it wasn't your fault. You saved billions of people who'll never meet you and never know what you did."

But I do, he wants to say. If the way Sam looks at him is any indication, his brother hears him anyways.

Dean squeezes his shoulder and walks away from the window. "You better have left me some hot water," he calls over his shoulder. "And I find you doing anything besides playing Minesweeper on that computer, I'll kick your ass."

When he gets out from his hot shower, the laptop's shut down. Sam's dressed and ready to go.

And when Dean looks a few days later, the files are gone.

~Nebula

Awwwww this was so heartbreaking and sweet at the same time. I love how Dean makes Sam finally see that those deaths weren't his fault and he saved so much more people in return.

THANK YOU! One thing I want in canon, so, so much, is for someone to shake Sam (like, literally) and remind him that he did a whole hell of a good thing and saved the world and that they're proud of him. Telling him the bad stuff wasn't all his fault isn't going to help him as much as reminding him that some of the good stuff WAS his fault.

Also, exhausted Sam with circles under his eyes will never not be a good thing.

So my laptop's broken and I'm using a school computer til my dad comes help me fix it tomorrow, so I'm sitting in the middle of the 24-hour undergrad library. And trying my hardest not to cry like a baby, cuz that would be embarrassing. But still, OH GOD SAMMY. He's just....I want to give him a hug so bad, and then Dean gave him a Winchester version of a hug and that actually made me want to cry more than Sam blaming himself in the first place, and...and...I'm gonna stop before I make a fool of myself in the UW library, but this was AWESOME.

LOVED THIS.

I absolutely loved this. The show needs something like this - Sam is far too fixed on what he did wrong to see what he did right, and while Dean is over judging Sam only by his mistakes, he still needs to actually tell his he's proud of him and that he's kinda awesome.

So, thank you for writing this! (Now put it in script form and send it to the CW.)

Damn it. Must be allergies or something.
Why else would there be tears in my eyes now *sniff*
Very well done. Just like all the other ones you responded to.
I admit to not being able to tear myself from reading on long enough to leave a comment *hangs head in shame*

This was so great!

Absolutely loved this! Wish Dean would say something like this to Sam in canon (since he is obviously berating himself and doing penance still). Thanks!!

Angst!Sam does just as well for me as hurt!Sam. And it's just like our old Sammy to go back and do this, finding everyone he did wrong and didn't save. Ahh! Beautiful!

You've made me so sad and so happy at the same time. I'm gonna go ahead and believe this was canon off-screen.
