FIC: The Long Dark

[semirah.livejournal.com]

Title: The Long Dark

Rating: M (see warnings)

Characters: Sam, Dean, Castiel

Pairing: Gen

Word Count: 4,000+

Warnings: Language; Memories and depictions of graphic torture

Spoilers: Up to 06x16, "And Then There Were None."

Note: Created for the Sam-focused Hurt/Comfort challenge.

Summary: The fist connects before Sam even realizes it's coming. His teeth grind together with an ugly sound. His mouth tastes like chalk, like dust and brightness. Then the taste is gone, replaced with the penny-sharp flavor of blood, and he spits it out at Dean without thinking.

His older brother steps back, wipes the fine spatter of blood from his cheek and brow, and offers Sam a cold smile. "I'm gonna go out, Sam. I'm gonna get a drink, because if I stay in this house with you, I might just kill you."

Prompt: Gen, season 6. After a huge fight, an angry Dean takes off. Normally, this wouldn't be a problem, but Sam suffers a huge seizure right after and Castiel has to take care of him. Sam is convinced he's too broken and that Dean would be better off without him. Castiel shows him otherwise." by center_galaxy. I hope this is even a little bit close to what you were imagining.
