[mimblexwimble.livejournal.com]

i'm pretty sure i'm supposed to start the year off with something cheerful or schmoopy, but i only have three bookmarks that meet those conditions. so instead, i bring you four horrific, dark little fics, and four fics that are just plain depressing.

dark/horror

reccer's comments. take a happy, silly children's cartoon, add a dash of horror and sam winchester. what do you get? one of the creepiest fics ever. i'm never going to think of the cartoon the same way again. this universe begs to be expanded. (the wiki page for foster's, in case you aren't familiar with the cartoon.)

Fic: Dreams and Anguish

[minviendha.livejournal.com]

Title: Dreams and Anguish
Author: minviendha
Rating: PG13
Summary: "Ideologies separate us. Dreams and anguish bring us together."  -Eugene Ionesco
Word Count: 5754
Warnings: none in particular, other than angst (of course). And a baby on fire.
Notes: I'm not entirely satisfied with this, but I'm also sick of poking at it. The first half I like better than the second half, probably because I'm better at hurt than comfort. But...I decided it was worth going for.
Prompt: The h/c fic challenge prompt here: Once Sam gets his soul back, he has a lot of lost sleep to make up for. Because he's so exhausted, though, he doesn't wake up when he has nightmares and is trapped in them...
