A Sam-focused h/c meme!
Awww! Our fledgling community already has 136 members! *beams proudly* You guys ROCK!
So in order to celebrate the glory that is hurt!sick!Sam, we are hosting a comment-fic meme. You guys probably know the drill by now, but just to be on the safe side, I'll post a couple of rules below.
I will be keeping track of the meme and compiling a master list as new stories appear.
SPREAD THE WORD
Ground Rules:
1. 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. ;) )
2. Comment to this post with your desired characters or pairings, and a prompt. All genres/pairings are welcome, BUT no RPF/RPS, please. Please focus on the fictional characters only.
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.”
3. You can leave as many prompts as you like, but please write one prompt per comment. If you've got a few (and feel free to prompt at will!), comment with each separately. This is to keep the meme manageable.
4. Your prompts can be as short or as detailed as you’d like. i.e. "Sam, Dean. Fever." Or a three-paragraph epic with details. The more detailed your prompt, the less wriggle room you're giving the writer, though, so bear that in mind.
5. Scroll through the comments and when you find a prompt you like, write a fic in reply to the comment. There is no word count limit.
6. More than one comment-fic response to a prompt is totally acceptable, and in fact encouraged. The more fic, the better!
7. When replying to a prompt with your comment-fic, put ‘FILLED’ in your subject line and then anything else you want, ie: 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, and for me when I’m compiling the master list.
8. Anonymous posting is enabled, but I haven't figured out whether I.P. logging is off because I suck at this sort of thing. If you're embarrassed by how schmoopy your prompts are, don't worry, we won't tell on you. ;)
9. No spoilers for future episodes. NONE. We will send Missouri after you with a spoon.
10. Standard rules of politeness apply. Do NOT bash any characters. Do NOT say rude things to prompters and writers. In short, don't be a douchebag. The mods will ruthlessly delete any ridiculousness we see.
11. Questions about the meme? Comments? PM your mods! We will be happy to answer your queries.
12. Do feed your authors! They’re awesome. Feedback is THE BEST DRUG EVER.
13. If you want to advertise this, that’s fantastic! It would be really appreciated. Just copy and paste the code provided above into your journal.
In conclusion, have FUN!
Master List
![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
redrum669: Season 5 Sam needs to be forgiven and loved regardless of what he is and what he's done. For the love of God, do it! Gen, Slash, whatever. Just get that boy some damned hugs.
pkwench: Permanent injury. Any flavour.
blubird_pie: I'd love to see both boys get taken (for whatever reason) and Dean cares/comforts a distressed young Sam whilst in captivity.
dime_for_12: Are you brave enough to kill one of them? Your choice. Sam's either in agony and dying. Or Sam's trying to hold it together while Dean's slipping away.
lassiterfics: Pre-series: Sam's first week in the dorms at Stanford. He draws a single room and is shyly buying a plant, school supplies, and congratulating himself on making his tiny little room a home. Trouble is? He can't sleep. No matter how much he tries to wear himself out, he can’t sleep without Dean. Gen or slash is fine.
dime_for_12:Sam is shut down and hurting after Jess dies. Dean takes care of him through the next few days and the funeral.
blubird_pie: Season 5 Dean finds himself with DeAged Sam & he'd forgotten how much that kid like hugs - especially when scared.
blood_ecstasy: Wee!Sam gets the chicken pox and Dean gets to deal with it. I expect there to be lots of whining, smacking hands off of itchy spots, and tomato rice soup.
dither_river: Sam is shut down and hurting after Jess dies. Dean takes care of him through the next few days and the funeral.
annonwrite: Sam had a bad back and it hurts. A LOT. Dean makes fun of him. Then Dean realizes how bad it is. Then Dean feels guilty.
callistosh65: On a hunt in midwinter, Sam almost freezes to death. Dean finds him blue-lipped and still in a snowbank, gets him inside + takes care of him.
authoressnebula: From episode Swap Meat: Sam-in-teenage-boy's body has an asthma attack. Dean helps.
wicked_crayon: Sam agrees to let Michael try him on for size. It's an extremely, extremely bad fit and lasts for all of maybe a minute. Agony, issues of self worth, and one distraught, angry older brother are the result.
slsh_lvr08: A younger Sam gives birth on Dean's lap. Impala.
annonwrite: Early S1, Sam gets a cold/flu from not sleeping. Possibly also related to going swimming with his clothes on (1.3) or riding on an airplane (1.4)?
ancastar: S5 Sam is out of his head with fever for whatever reason. Thinks Dean is Ruby and that his brother is still in Hell.
pkwench: Sam's trapped inside his body with Lucifer in control. His thoughts/anguish/fighting to break free as Lucifer kills present!Dean and confronts past!Dean.
ratherastory: Crucifixion. *cough*
rosestoo: Michael and Lucifer face off in their best Winchester suits. Michael wins and sends Lucifer back to hell. He also sends Sam with him. Dean goes to find his brother. Sam suffers. A lot.
shyriann: S5 Sam is out of his head with fever for whatever reason. Thinks Dean is Ruby and that his brother is still in Hell.
ratherastory: Eye patch Sam! Sam loses one of those pretty eyes and has to cope with altered visual perception and looking like a pirate. Dean is awesome, over protective, angry as hell that this happened to Sam, and a completely amusing little shit.
sytaxia: After Sam has gone through detox after My Bloody Valentine he's still weak and feverish. Dean and Cas take care of him.
dime_for_12: Aftermath of Mystery Spot. Sam in serious fucking trauma, Dean slowly realizing the extent of what happened (hundred days of watching him die, six months without him). Sam needs to touch him at night to know he's real, afraid to sleep because he may wake up back in the Trickster's world without Dean, etc.
authoressnebula: 5x14. At the end of the ep, Sam locks himself inside the panic room using the original locking system (keep those inside safe from those outside). They've added anti-angel protection since last time so neither Dean nor Castiel can break in.
4422shini: The semi-bulletproof advantages of being marked as the devil's chosen vessel - being able to get between your brother and bullets. Trouble is? It fucking hurts, reapers turn their backs to you/hide behind their hands when you die, being brought back to life is scary, and your brother is really fucking pissed off at you for having done it.
dime_for_12: Something involving a bullet wound. Either one that Dean has to clean and stitch up or one that is already healed.
wicked_crayon: Sam's absolutely terrified to drive, feels just as guilty over John's death as Dean, has the occasional nightmare, and refuses to get behind the wheel.
ratherastory: Sam and Dean go undercover as Manly!Maids to investigate a haunting. Sadly, Sam has a dust allergy and just keeps sneezing.
pixymisa:Sam's always eaten more healthy than Dean, but he does have the occasional greasy burger. However, Dean's noticed since 4x22 Sam's eaten nothing but salads at every meal. They don't even have any meat in them. Can that be healthy? (Sam's gone vegetarian after quitting demon blood, avoiding the taste of anything even remotely like blood/meat.)
dante_s_hell: After Jump the Shark, Sam was bleeding so profusely. Surely there should be some h/c after that? :) He'd be weak and in pain and unable to do a lot of things for a few days after that.
dime_for_12:
Aftermath of "Heart." As soon as they walk out of that apartment, Sam falls back in the same place he was after Jess's death, except worse because it's the second time it's happened and he had to pull the trigger this time. He's shut down, doesn't want to talk, and Dean has to pull him out of it.
pixymisa: a severely injured S5 Sam gets sent to the past and is met by his preseries self/S1 self.
saberivojo: Pre-series, Sam is cleaning the knives at his father's request, and Dean's out for the night. In typical teenage boy fashions, screws around with them, trying out fight fighting moves he's not ready for. He cuts himself and tries to hide it from John, but John finds out.
saberivojo: Old Weschesters. It's no secret that Sam doesn't have as good of a seat on a horse as Dean does...
dime_for_12: Michael and Lucifer face off in their best Winchester suits. Michael wins and sends Lucifer back to hell. He also sends Sam with him. Dean goes to find his brother. Sam suffers. A lot.
faye_dartmouth: Some baddie is beating the crap out of our boy. The beating could be physical (fists and feet) or more magic related (along the lines of what happened to Dean in the season one finale). Dean is being forced to watch, but cannot intervene. All Sam has to do to get the whumping to stop is to tell the baddie to go pick on Dean instead. But he won't. No matter how much Dean begs him to.
pkwench: Wee!Chesters - Sam experiences night terrors.
melanth0: Sam goes insane. Not, oh, I'm a little crazy, but INSANE in whatever form you choose and Dean must reach him somehow.
m14mouse: The shifter in Skin really worked Sam over good. Some Dean taking care of him after and the two of them not dealing with what the shifter told Sam.
rosestoo: Michael and Lucifer face off in their best Winchester suits. Michael wins and sends Lucifer back to hell. He also sends Sam with him. Dean goes to find his brother. Sam suffers. A lot.
m14mouse: Wee!Chesters - A very wee Sam gets separated from John & Dean and winds up in protective services. He's sent to a state home while they try to figure out who he is, what to do with him. Sam does not thrive in this new environment and keeps looking under his bed and in the wardrobe, closets, big scary industrial kitchen, basements, attic ... everywhere for Dean and his Dad.
tifaching: History is littered with stories of brothers. This is one of them. Two brothers set out to save the world. The cost is high and the older brother is lost. It's said that the younger brother walks the country calling for him. From Maine to Kansas to Oregon, he walks. In torment, looking. Always looking. There are those that hunt things like him and they try, they do, but there are no bones to burn, no spells that will cast him out, no rituals that will ease his suffering. The only way to put this tormented spirit to rest lies in summoning the brother to take him home.
vail_kagami: Castiel takes care of Sam and Dean when Sam comes out of the panic room in 5.14.
vail_kagami: Following their separation in Good God Y'all, Sam gets a ride from someone allied against him. 'Break him,' they said. So the bad man, rapes him to a bloody mess.
Sorry, everyone. Spammers have found this entry, so I have to freeze all remaining comment threads. I think we're safe, it's a pretty old comment-fic meme. If anyone absolutely needs to comment here, PM me to let me know, okay? ~ratherastory

Re: FILLED: Baby You Can Drive My Car (2/3)
“Yeah?” Sam asked shakily, vocal chords weak despite his best efforts.
“Where are you hurt?” Dean asked, left hand already moving over Sam's torso and checking for injuries.
Sam squirmed, pushed Dean's hands away. “I'm fine.”
Dean sat back and gave Sam a look that said plainly what he thought about that.
Sam reached for an explanation that his brother would accept. “Really. I think the ghost bruised up my stomach a bit. Sitting agitated it.” He tried to keep his tone light. Dean had only just emerged from the dark place he'd been in for the past few months and Sam didn't want to worry him. He deserved that much.
The skeptical look didn't leave Dean's face, but he stood and reached down to give Sam a hand up with his good arm. Sam knocked the hand away and got up, pausing as a wave of dizziness caused his vision to dim. Dean used the distraction to move in close, yanking up Sam's shirt.
“Dean!” Sam yelped as his brother inspected the bruises on his torso, pushing Dean's hands away.
Dean shrugged one shoulder. “Doesn't seem too bad,” he said suspiciously.
“Was just some freak thing,” Sam muttered, eyes sliding away from his brother's.
Dean almost seemed like he was going to press the issue, or at least make fun of his brother's use of the word 'freak' to describe something about himself, but instead he just turned around and got into the driver's side of the car. With a quiet sigh of relief, Sam slid into shotgun and tried to avoid his brother's questioning looks during the long ride back.
---
Sam came out of the dream with a gasp that quickly lodged itself in his throat. As he frantically tried to quiet his panting breaths, he automatically looked to make sure that he hadn't woken his brother...
...and found Dean's bed empty. He only had a second to process that oddity when he felt a hand on his arm.
“Ah!” he cried, startled, jerking his arm out of reach and making for the knife under his pillow.
“Woah, Sammy,” Dean's voice soothed in the dark room.
Sam's eyes adjusted quickly, allowing him to see his brother sitting on the edge of his bed. “Dean?” he panted as he propped himself up on his elbows. “What are you doing?”
“Well, I was about to wake my little brother up from a nightmare.”
“Good for you,” Sam said dryly, flopping down onto his back. “Can I get back to bed now?”
Sam could only barely see Dean's smirk in the orangish glow of the streetlights. “C'mon, Sam, at least try to pretend like you think I'm not a moron.”
Sam blinked up at him and tried for his most incredulous tone. “What?” It sounded weak even to him.
“You've been having nightmares for days.”
Realizing that he'd been caught, Sam knew better than to keep flailing. “You noticed?” he asked with a cringe before exasperation crept into his tone. “So why didn't you say anything?”
Dean poked at Sam's shoulder. “You're the one who likes these chick flick moments, dude. I figured you'd say something if it was serious.”
“I would. It's not.” Sam stared his brother down, trying through sheer force of will to make Dean believe him.
Dean's eyebrow arched smoothly. “Then what was up with you earlier in the car?” he asked patiently.
With a huff Sam tried to turn onto his side, away from Dean's searching gaze. “That has nothing to do with...”
“Shut up, Sam.” Dean cut him off, grabbing his shoulder and rolling him back. “You haven't driven the Impala in months, you're making excuses all the time. Did you think I wouldn't notice?”
Re: FILLED: Baby You Can Drive My Car (3/3)
Dean sighed, the hand still on Sam's shoulder absently rubbing in soothing circles. “I don't mind driving, Sammy. I mind that something's wrong and you're not telling me what.” He paused. “This about the accident?”
“What? No!” Sam answered far too quickly.
“Yeah, that was almost believable, Keanu.”
Sam tried to shrug off the hand on his shoulder, eyes pleading. “Dean, I know you don't want to talk about... that.” A tiny corner of his mind marvelled at how completely their roles had switched.
“The accident?” Sam cringed as Dean said the word that he didn't even know he'd been avoiding. “You're right, I don't. It sucked out loud, dude. But if that's what it takes... is that what this is? Because the last time you drove you totalled the car?” Dean smirked, like he was pleased to find that his years of threatening his little brother should he ever harm the car had paid off.
Sam went with the lightened tone and gave a rueful smirk. “It wasn't exactly one of my brightest moments.”
Dean's shit-eating grin turned almost imperceptibly softer. “It also wasn't your fault.”
Sam froze. Damn it, he'd walked right into that. “Whatever, Dean...” he choked out.
Dean's hand clenched on Sam's shoulder. “No, listen to me, Sammy. That accident? It sucked. Everything about it, afterwards, sucked. Yeah, I get that. But you weren't going to prevent it. It would've happened no matter who was driving.”
Sam shook his head in complete denial. “But... if you'd been...”
“No, Sam. What, you think we just ignored the fucking semi because we figured you had it all under control? What part of that sounds like my backseat driving?” Sam stopped shaking his head at that. Dean was right, that was certainly not how he acted when anyone else drove his baby. Hell, it wasn't how John had acted when his youngest drove either. “None of us saw that coming, and none of us would have. The accident would've happened if I'd been driving and it would've happened if D... if Dad was driving.”
Sam gulped down the pressure rising in his throat. He sat up a little, wanting to see Dean's face better. “You don't... blame me?”
Dean's hand lifted from his shoulder and went around his neck, pulling Sam in for a quick hug before leaning back and slapping him lightly upside the head. “No, you moron. If I blamed you for the accident do you think I'd ever let you drive my baby again?”
It was like a weight lifting off of him and suddenly he could breathe easier, his head spinning, but Sam wasn't about to let it go that easily. “But... what about... Dad and everything?”
Dean pulled him back in, winding his other arm around his little brother and squeezing tightly. “Never, Sam. Never.”
Sam buried his head in his brother's shoulder, closing his eyes against the burning in them that was suddenly only relief.
“But if you ever drive my car through a house again? Then we will have problems.”
And Sam laughed.
