comment fic meme!
Aug. 2nd, 2011 01:56 amFollowing the results of the poll we took last month (don't make it easy on us or anything, guys, haha!), we've decided to hold a comment fic meme once every three months. This gives everyone time to write and prompt to their heart's content, and allows us mods to keep up with y'all. And we're starting right now!
THE RULES
THE MASTER LIST
Headache by
verucasalt123
Sam has a headache and Dean tries to make him feel better.
Taming the Dragon by
mentholpixie
Dean finds out Sam has become addicted to some kind of very hard street drug (heroin, meth, cocaine, something like that) and tries (with or without success, surprise me) to help him kick.
Light Will Guide You Home by
tahirire
Sam/Sarah Blake, anytime after they parted ways at the end of "Provenance." Because Sam needs non-monster lovin', and he's into dark-haired girls anyway.
The Shadow Dancer by
running_hot
Sam has a high fever. A monster has Dean. The rescue would be going much better if Sam could tell which things were actually happening and which were in his head.
Touched By an Angel by
mamapranayama
Fill in the gaps between when Cas took down Sam's wall in that alley, until Dean and Bobby get Sam back into the panic room.
Mo Bhràthair E A' Chantainn by
ramblin_rosie
Dean and Sam had their own language when they were children, like twins sometimes do. In long car trips, to signal each other, to communicate in close quarters without their father knowing what they were saying. It faded over time, but now, with Sam so often broken form reality and Dean desperate, remembering that language is what saves them. Post 6x22.
In My Time... by
jennytork
Sam on a spinal board. Don't mind why, how whatever, but Sam freaking out due to being strapped down, and Dean reassuring him that it will all be ok.
Eternity by
emmram
What if the cage were timeless, or outside of time, and returning to time after being timeless had major repercussions? Physiological, where all Sam's heart rate and breathing rhythms and such were fouled up; psychological, where he no longer knows how to follow a conversation or text or train of thought consecutively without jumping about. Go wild: anything from nausea and dizziness to psychosis. Maybe strong rhythms, like waves or music with a regular beat, help ground him. Or sex, if you wanted to go the pairing route.

Post-6x22. Sam falls apart. Dean tries to help. That is all.

Giant jellyfish. Sam's in the water. Dean isn't. GO!
Into the Night by
youaredriving
Sam starts sleepwalking - he walks into the cold night air (not very healthy), he hurts himself while asleep (like cutting or banging his head)
Turn Your Back by
vail_kagami
From Cas's POV. Post 6x22. During one of Sam's worst breaks, Dean clings to his brother in just another cheap motel room that make up their lives. He holds Sam and whispers and tries to soothe him, desperation radiating off him as Sam gets worse. Unseen, Castiel watches the two people who'd called him family. He either doesn't know why he feels compelled to watch them suffer like this or realizes he still feels something for them (love/remorse). Would prefer no romantic attachments.
Untitled by
verucasalt123
Sam smokes cigarettes. He knows it's a bad habit. He knows he smokes way more than he should. He keeps on smoking anyway.
Automatic Reflex by
monicawoe
Sam lifts a car. Of course, Sam throws his back out doing it.
Near Miss by
laurificus
Sam does not want to be comforted. Dean is like, 'Yeah well I don't want to make you feel better anyway'
Vegetable Pot Pie by
ennyousai
Dean has to feed up a Sam who doesn't trust the world around him. Dean is the only person he sorta kinda trusts; he won't accept food unless Dean is the one who prepares it and offers it. Cue lots of cooking!Dean, talking soothingly and acclimating Sam to a domestic routine.
To Hold Your Broken Soul by
authoressnebula
I just kind of loved remembering-hell!Sam, and would like to see more of him. Especially some physical h/c. Sam’s face is burned and he looks like he could use a Dean to clean him up and take care of him, you know? And if you want to move on to emotional h/c after that, that’s fine too.
Spiders from Mars by anonymous
Sam loses his hair (reason up to you) and he is embarrassed by his lumpy skull. Depending on the cause of the hair loss, I can actually see this as being either really lulzy or really sad and either is okay with me.
Most Likely To... by
monicawoe
Sam meets old friends from Stanford and they don't recognize him, what with him and Dean swooping in all huge and violent with guns and knives and arcane rituals to rescue them all from some horrifying eldritch creature. And then his friends are all, "OMG! It's Psycho Sam who was a closet satanist and was wanted by the FBI!" And Sam is very conspicuously injured, but he and Dean can't stop to patch him up because the eldritch creature is still trying to rip their throats out. And Sam's feelings are hurt because his old friends are scared of him now.
And They Cry to See Your Face by

Cold Hard Truth by
jpunkin
Sam suddenly knows when people are lying.
Bleed as it Grows by
transfixeddream
Post-6.22. One comparatively minor issue in the mile-long list of all the ways Sam's been screwed up by the destruction of the Wall is the fact that he can't shave himself anymore. But it's eating at him, not just because he's irritated by the way being unshaven looks and feels so much as it is the principle of it-- the fact that he's so freaking scared to do something that used to be so easy before. But so much as touching a razor freaks him out because of all the unpleasant associations he now has with razors and blades in general, let alone scraping one across his face, and he can't get over it. Dean realizes it's upsetting him and decides to help out.
Alone Without You by
tattooeddevil
Sam has a terminal heart condition. Dean rents a beach house.

Sam and the Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Haircut
Do I Not Bleed? by
greeneyes_fan
Robo!Sam is still human, even if he doesn't sleep. He comes down with a really horrific case of the 'flu: fever, chills, that nasty cough that settles right in your chest and makes it hurt to breathe, aching muscles, the whole nine yards. Dean knows how to deal with Sam when he's sick, but Robo!Sam is a whole other matter. How do you take care of a guy who not only views this sickness as just an annoying inconvenience and resists any and all forms of caretaking, but also can't/won't sleep which is the main thing that would help?
The Language of Angels by
monicawoe
Post 6x22. Sometimes Sam's breaks aren't too disasterous, sometimes they're catastrophic. He'll scream and tremble and speak only enochian. Desperate to help, Dean, haltingly, learns some broken Enochian words so he can try to reach his brother. Gen preferred.
Pandamonium by
mamapranayama
Sam gets mauled by an escaped panda or other cuddly animal at the zoo.
The Other Brother by
radiumgirl
Sam and Adam are pulled from the cage at the same time. Sam is not right, and Adam, stuck as his caretaker, is not pleased (the reason for Adam not being the same kind of drooling mess is up to the author). Basically, Adam really really doesn't want to care and holds onto his resentment for dear life, but Sam is all psychotic and hopeless so it's kind of hard. Cue grudging compassion and Adam dragging Sam around the country, hitchhiking with truckers and stuff while trying to keep Sam's lunacy on the down-low, in search of anyone else who wants to take him, anyone at all. When he finally gets his chance to be rid of Sam for good and for keeps, he barely has one foot out the door before he notices Dean/Bobby/the psychiatric nurse/whoever trying to calm Sam down and doing it all wrong. Breaking up is so hard to do.
Big Brothers and Hot Dogs Never Mix by
cherry916
Sam gets sick in the Impala. Not just a little, we're talking projectile vomiting, splattering and making a big huge mess. Any season, but not pre-series. Gen, please.
Relief by
si_star_x
After a bad fall Sam badly bruises and/or cracks quite a few ribs, he's in agony and relies on Dean to help him through his simple everyday tasks.
Misplaced Comment Fic by
greeneyes_fan
Hilarious. Cas rocks! No wait, you rock!
Where There's Smoke by
roque_clasique
Sam smokes cigarettes. He knows it's a bad habit. He knows he smokes way more than he should. He keeps on smoking anyway.
True Colors
tifaching
CRACK. Or whatever. Castiel and Balthazar go on a roadtrip together in order to rediscover their inner peacocks. (Don't ask, it's an angel thing.) Unfortunately, things go horribly awry and Sam ends up getting pecked half to death when the peacocks turn murderous. Luckily for him, Dean is awesome.
Mirror, Mirror
purplehrdwonder
There's an old belief that you see your soul when you look into a mirror. Sam's soul has been in the Cage for hundreds of years. What does he see when he looks at his own reflection? What's in the mirror, staring back at him every morning when he tries to shave?
My life on paper
glovered
Seems like after what happened when the wall fell, Sam's brain periodically reverts to amnesia under stress. He doesn't go into a coma, but whatever random triggers he has for his hell flashbacks, his consciousness sidesteps them by becoming blank!slate!Sam.
Sam's Soul
brokenangel662
Sam's soul watches, terrified and desperately wanting to join his body as it gets dragged from the cage.
Another Point of View
ceedeeandco
Post-wall: It’s not that Sam is hallucinating so much as he’s now capable of seeing into other dimensions. Which, of course, to the untrained eye, comes off as Sam hallucinating. Dean, unfortunately, is an untrained eye, and the inter-dimensional being who might have formerly conveniently let Dean in on the secret is currently off playing God somewhere. So, Dean is going to go with the “Sam hallucinates ALL THE TIME” theory and acts accordingly. Does he ever figure it out?
Metronome
geek_chic_girl
OK, this is an odd idea I've had kicking around since 5.22. What if the cage were timeless, or outside of time, and returning to time after being timeless had major repercussions? Physiological, where all Sam's heart rate and breathing rhythms and such were fouled up; psychological, where he no longer knows how to follow a conversation or text or train of thought consecutively without jumping about.
Your Name in Lights by
honeylocusttree
What torments Sam most about his memories of the Cage, after he gets a tenuous grip on the flashbacks and fear, is how he broke there: in the worst way a Winchester could possibly break. He remembers wishing Dean was there instead of him. Dean assumes that Sam is miserable and ashamed because of something done to him, instead of anything he'd done, and Sam is inconsolable. Does Dean ever figure it out? Can Sam ever move on?
Along Came a Spider by
mamapranayama
As many cellars, abandoned houses, rotting warehouses, and other manky spaces as these guys have run through, I figure their chances of getting tagged have to be pretty high. Sam has a run-in with Lactodectrus mactrans, which in turn leads to all the fun and joy of latrodectism. Dean's there to do the motel rool triage (and the big brother thing) when the agonizing full-body cramps set in, of course. Mega-super bonus points and my eternal love for some kind of background plot, especially if it gives Sam occasion to be awesome, but mainly, I'd just love to see him in agony from Black Widow venom.
Lest Thou be Consumed by
jpunkin
After being in the Cage, Sam can't even really tell when he's been hurt, no matter how bad it is. He'll get hurt in a hunt and not know till Dean freaks and tells him he's bleeding. He'll wander off barefoot, lost in his head, and Dean will wake up and run after him. His feet will be all cut up and bloody and Dean's panicking that he doesn't know what's wrong with his brother and doesn't know how to help him. Gen preferred.
Unable to Stay by
youaredriving
Sam is a bit shell-shocked after a hunt (maybe an innocent person dies? Someone he knew/got to know?) and has blood on his hands, arms, and face. Thus, Dean has to gently remove his clothes, get him into the shower, get in after him, and bathe him. Sam, still very much out of it, is highly compliant. Afterwards, Dean gets him dressed and into bed. Maybe he cuddles with him, and/or tries to coax him out of his stupor.
Just Following Orders by
ramblin_rose
Sam shoots his father. On purpose or accident -- repercussions are going to be severe in any case.
You Never Forget Your First by
authoressnebula
The boys are arguing. And this happens to be the one and only time that Dean ever takes his anger out on Sam in a violent way. Maybe it was an accident. Maybe he was really drunk. Maybe he was cursed. Maybe he was just really angry and he screwed up. The thing is, Sam actually gets hurt, and it's Dean's fault. Cue massive guilt and general awesomeness afterwards.
Brownie points if Sam thinks he deserved it for whatever reason. Or is angry about it. Or somehow scared of Dean.
The Cancer Inside by
purplehrdwonder
Dean tangles with a djinn who grants you what you want most, with a wicked sense of what it probably thinks is humor. Dean's pissed at Sam, angry, just wants Sam to shut up and listen and grovel maybe a little bit more because hey, the guy jumpstarted the apocalypse and betrayed Dean. So yeah, Dean wants that. And in this world, Dean gets just that.
Cooler Than Me by
authoressnebula
Wee!Sam (5-12) catches the eye of an infertile witch. She kidnaps him and casts a spell on him to make him believe that she is his mother.
Not Exactly Clarence by
minviendha
Sam, Cas, gen, sometime in Season 5. Sam gets sick, and Cas is the only one who notices. Sam is ignoring the problem until it goes away; cue Cas trying (awkwardly) to take care of him.
To Be Redeemed by
brokenangel6662
Sam falls apart. Dean tries to help. That is all.
Draining by
27_jaredjensen
Sam has the mother of all chest colds, a raging headache, draining fever, wracking chills. By all rights he should be in bed, but people are dying and bones need to be burned and Dean can't do it alone. So here they are, in the middle of a forest in the pouring rain, trying to light a stupid match because of course the lighter fluids all gone...you get the idea, right? One of those no good, pain in the ass, nothing going right, suck-the-life-from-your-bones days. Grumbling but protective Dean would be awesome.
Mother Instinct by
norahy
Season 2: The boys are forced to crash at the Roadhouse for a time. Sam is hurt/sick/whatever and in bad shape, and Ellen decides the poor boy needs some serious mothering.

And in this world, Dean gets just that.
Cooler Than Me by
Wee!Sam (5-12) catches the eye of an infertile witch. She kidnaps him and casts a spell on him to make him believe that she is his mother.
Not Exactly Clarence by
Sam, Cas, gen, sometime in Season 5. Sam gets sick, and Cas is the only one who notices. Sam is ignoring the problem until it goes away; cue Cas trying (awkwardly) to take care of him.
To Be Redeemed by
Sam falls apart. Dean tries to help. That is all.
Draining by
Sam has the mother of all chest colds, a raging headache, draining fever, wracking chills. By all rights he should be in bed, but people are dying and bones need to be burned and Dean can't do it alone. So here they are, in the middle of a forest in the pouring rain, trying to light a stupid match because of course the lighter fluids all gone...you get the idea, right? One of those no good, pain in the ass, nothing going right, suck-the-life-from-your-bones days. Grumbling but protective Dean would be awesome.
Mother Instinct by
Season 2: The boys are forced to crash at the Roadhouse for a time. Sam is hurt/sick/whatever and in bad shape, and Ellen decides the poor boy needs some serious mothering.

Cue a lot of tests and torture. Maybe in the end they wipe his memories and let him go, or maybe they decide he's too dangerous and keep him in Level 5.

Pre-series, preteen!Sam
Date: 2011-08-02 08:00 am (UTC)Also, long prompt is long.
It's eleven-year-old Sam's dream come true. His dad has decided to settle them down for an entire semester without moving, because he just found a non-hunting job that pays enough for it to be worth sticking around for a while. That means Sam can make friends and start putting down roots, which is everything he's always wanted, striving for normal. Then he attracts the attention of the soccer coach, who thinks Sam has real talent. To Sam's everlasting surprise, the coach convinces John to let Sam join the team.
Sam is thrilled, especially when the coach starts paying more and more attention to him, offering to let him stay a little later after practice for more drills and some private coaching. The coach is a great guy, he listens to what Sam has to say, and if he's a little handsy sometimes, well, some guys are just more touchy-feely than others, right? And between Dean who is now fourteen years old and getting too cool to hang out with his dorky kid brother all the time, and John who doesn't understand why Sam can't just be more like his big brother, Sam is sort of starved for attention and affection, so he doesn't say anything even when the coach's hands-on stuff starts getting a little uncomfortable.
By the time the end of the semester starts to approach, everything has spiralled out of control, and Sam has no idea how it all went so wrong, so fast. The only thing he does know is that this is all his fault, and that Dad will kill him if he finds out, and Dean will be disgusted with him and hate him forever. So he really has no choice except to keep his mouth shut. Besides, the coach really cares about him, right?
Short version of the summary: eleven-year-old Sam is molested repeatedly by an authority figure, and tries to keep it a secret from John and Dean.
Up to the author if Sam tells, if John and Dean find out at all, and how they react. Happy ending, unhappy ending, ambiguous ending, go nuts. :)

Date: 2011-08-02 08:06 am (UTC)Anyway!
Sam/Dean (or Sam/anyone, really, but I kind of like the idea of Dean for this)
Sam is coping decently well without a wall. Sure, there are bad days and good days, but overall he can tell what's real and what's not, and he and Dean are muddling through as best they can. There's one thing, of course, that Sam isn't telling Dean, and that's the fact that the whole post-hell-wall-collapse has made him, to put it bluntly, impotent. Dean hasn't cottoned on, because he hasn't been with Sam since before Swan Song (he refused to have sex with Robo!Sam and after that Sam was just back and there was the wall to consider and it was weird), but now he's trying to rekindle things and doesn't understand why Sam is suddenly being so standoffish.
Um, I'd prefer this not to end up as a magical healing cock thing, inasmuch as possible. :)

How do you take care of a guy who not only views this sickness as just an annoying inconvenience and resists any and all forms of caretaking, but also can't/won't sleep which is the main thing that would help?

Date: 2011-08-02 12:48 pm (UTC)Early S6 Sam couldn't feel anything emotionally, he could feel the physical (if his reaction to Cas' little angel reading was any indication). So if Sam were to get sick -- like confined to bed, feverish, having trouble breathing, too shaky to move kind of sick -- how would he react? There's a substantial emotional aspect incorporated into most sick!fic...it would be interesting to see how Sam, and Dean as well, would react to this situation. How does Dean handle comforting someone who doesn't necessarily need or want comfort?
Not so much of a prompt as a question, I suppose. Maybe someone will play with it.

Date: 2011-08-02 01:28 pm (UTC)The boys get themselves captured by some nefarious evildoer: Crowley, Meg, Walt n’Roy, Godstiel (if you want to go there) whatever, and the obligatory torture session begins. Dean is freaking out, worried that it’s going to trigger some sort of flashback, but Sam is…fine?
Our baddie is trying so hard to be menacing and, you know, bad and Sam just laughs at everything they bring. “I’ve had worse. You know I’ve had worse. What are you even trying to accomplish?”
But you know, just because you can’t feel/don’t notice/ don’t care about what’s happening, doesn’t mean that it’s not happening. And maybe Sam’s not as impervious as he seemed back there, before Bobby or whomever came to the rescue. And maybe Dean feels guilty about the relief he feels when Sam finally cracks a little (means he’s human!) but sucks it up and patches him up.

FILLED: Mo Bhràthair E A' Chantainn (Dinéchesters AU)
Date: 2011-08-02 08:43 pm (UTC)--------
Thousand Books knew too damn many languages. That was the problem. Well, part of the problem, anyway.
Dean could never be entirely sure what was going on when Sam had one of his really bad spells, when neither Dean's music nor strong smells nor other strong sensations like ice in the hand could snap him out of it. Mr. Linguistics Major usually quit speaking English, though, and half the time Dean couldn't figure out what language he was speaking. Sometimes it sounded like Enochian, and that made sense; he wouldn't have put it past the damn angels to torture Sam with their true voices. Once in a great while he'd catch Sam pleading in Diné bizaad.
But not Gaelic. Never Gaelic.
All Dean could figure was that Michael and Lucifer hadn't worked out that Gaelic was their private language. Or maybe they had and just hadn't gotten around to forcing hallucinations of Dean yet, at least not ones where he did speak Gaelic. That gave him a trump card, he thought, but he hoped he never had to play it. Usually Sam would eventually respond to one of his Diné names.
Finally, though, his luck ran out. Sam hit an extremely bad spell, and none of the other languages Dean knew could get through to him. He even flinched hard when Dean tried Diné bizaad. Dean was about ready to pull his hair out when he remembered.
"Dammit, Sammy, cluinn domh!"
Sam's breathing hitched. "Naayéé' Neizgháníi -- mo bhràthair -- tha Gàidhlig agad...."
"Eadh, mo bhràthair. Cluinn domh. Tromhad."
Sam grabbed at Dean's shirt blindly and sobbed in relief when his hands found purchase. Dean pulled him closer, rocked him, and kept murmuring in Gaelic until the spell passed completely, not caring that Sam's tears were soaking his shirt.
"Ahéhee'," Sam finally whispered. "That's... that's the one thing they never did."
"Spoke Gaelic?"
Sam nodded. "'S how I knew I was really back. I didn't mean it as a test, but when I said I was thirsty... and you answered...."
"Daonann, Sammy. Daonann."
Sam snuffled gratefully into Dean's shoulder. And Dean allowed himself to hope, at least for the moment, that maybe they really would be okay.
