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

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? ~

Another prompt:

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.)

Hmm, interesting. I think I like this. :D

Woohoo! Can't wait to read what you come up with!

If Dean had to guess when it all started, he would have to say it happened after Famine. Funny thing, defeating the horseman responsible for insatiable hunger had made Dean work up an appetite. Well, once the whole demon blood detox thing was over, yet again. But Sam was a different creature. Maybe it was because food was always Dean's responsibility when they were kids, but he never quite got the pressing need for it that Dean did.

In some cases, it was useful. Because Sam was like some exotic wild bird or something. As soon as he got stressed, he went off his feed, and sometimes that was the only way that Dean could tell if something was wrong. Especially now that everything was wrong.

Hell yeah, Dean liked his burgers and his fries and a whole lot of bacon piled on top of both. And sure, Sam still ate his weird salads and fruit smoothies and vanilla lattes, but he ate other things, too. He occasionally ate part of Dean’s fries, or stole some of his bacon while he picked through his Cobb salad, but after Valentine’s Day, that all stopped.

Well, okay. Some of that was a lie that Dean liked to tell himself. Because Sam hadn’t stolen any of Dean’s bacon since Ilchester, and the more recent burger and fried egg was all Gary and none of Sam. And yes, there were still some chicken club sandwiches, but Sam had taken to peeling them open and eating them layer by layer, piling up bread and onions and whatever else he was wrinkling his nose up at in a mess on the side.

What Dean did notice was that Sam wasn’t as big as he had been. Which was okay. During the whole thing with Ruby and the demon blood and the Seals, Sam was a brooding giant, and it was hard for Dean to look at him and remember how he had been before everything happened. And it wasn’t like the weight loss was that big of a deal. Sam was just... less giant, a little narrower across the shoulders. Although, when they sparred Dean could still feel the muscle underneath. So it wasn’t a problem.

Until it was.

In the month after Famine, Dean found himself really watching what Sam ate. The boy seemed almost constantly hungry, but he didn’t seem to eat much. At gas stations, he picked up pretzels and the occasional cheese burrito, the few times Dean didn’t automatically veto it, and started drinking whole milk instead of cheap coffee. When Dean offered him some jerky, Sam wrinkled up his nose and waved it off.

And then Sam got sick.

It started off as just some sniffles and a cough, but then it rapidly turned into something else. He whistled and wheezed when he breathed, the coughs sounding more like a dog barking than coughs, and then his temperature spiked.

In two days, Sam lost a lot of weight. Dean bought him some chicken noodle soup from the gas station and heated it up in the microwave in their motel room. Sam wrinkled up his nose again and tried to shove it away.

“It doesn’t taste right,” Sam mumbled, his eyes wide and helpless and fever-bright.

“Shut up and drink it.”

Sam obeyed, which was just another sign of how low his defenses really were. It was just a fucking cold, nothing big or serious, but Dean couldn’t understand why his body wasn’t fighting it off.

Shortly after that, Sam puked up the chicken noodle soup. Now, Sam wasn’t like Dean, he didn’t puke with his fevers. Hell, Sam only ever really puked when he was hung over or had a migraine, and Dean sure as hell knew that no alcohol had passed those lips in the last few days. Nor was the light bothering him.

Dean looked at the can of the chicken noodle soup and really thought about what Sam had been eating since it all started, thought about Sam and that nose-wrinkle of his.

“Was the soup bad?” he finally asked.

Sam shook his head. “It doesn’t taste right,” he repeated. He grabbed Dean by the sleeve and leaned close. “Don’t make me,” he pleaded. “I don’t want to taste it. Please?”

A lump formed in Dean’s throat, and he tried to swallow it down. “Taste what?” he asked. Sam turned his head and coughed, long and hard, until he was gasping for breath. And Dean asked him again, with a little more force, “Taste what, Sammy?”

“The blood,” he whispered. “It tastes like blood. I know it doesn’t, Dean, not really, but it does. You understand, don’t you?”

Well, not really, but he was getting an idea. “Of course,” he answered. He gave Sam another glass of water to drink and headed back out to the gas station for more supplies.

The clerk raised his eyebrows when he saw Dean again. “Is everything okay?” he asked.

Dean shook his head. “I told you how my brother has one hell of a chest cold right now, right?”

The guy nodded.

Dean sighed. “I think he turned vegetarian while I wasn’t looking.”

“My sister’s a vegetarian,” the clerk said. “She’s been one for years. I used to think it was funny when she realized she’d eaten something with meat in it. She’d get this look on her face. Hilarious.” The guy shook his head. He wasn’t laughing, so Dean guessed there was a point to his story. “Then I found out that chicken broth makes her puke for hours. She says all meat products do that to her now.”

That didn’t make sense. At least not for Sam. “I don’t think that’s the problem,” Dean said. “He’s been throwing up, but he also hasn’t been a vegetarian for long.”

“How long?”

“Since Valentine’s Day.”

The guy shrugged. “Well, there’s some frozen dinners in the freezer that are vegetarian. And we have some tomato soup. That might help.”

Dean bought them, along with some bottles of multivitamins that the clerk gave him for a discount. He tossed down an additional five when he saw a slim book on various vegetarian diets. Sam would like it. He liked books like that.

Sam was sleeping when Dean got back to the motel, but he woke up right away once Dean had heated up one of the frozen dinners. It was rice and tofu and beans in a red sauce, with some green stuff pushed to the side. It looked kind of disgusting, but Sam inhaled it.

Dean looked at his brother, really looked at him. He had shadows under his eyes that weren’t just from a lack of sleep and their rough lifestyle. His cheeks were a little hollow, and his collarbone stuck out through his shirt more than Dean could remember. Once Sam was done eating and laid back in the bed, Dean sat the book on his chest.

Sam picked it up and looked at it, and then looked back at Dean.

“Were you going to tell me?” Dean asked. He knew it wasn’t fair, asking while Sam was still sick, still feverish. But the way they were, it was all too fragile to talk about under normal circumstances.

“Eventually,” Sam replied, and then went off into another coughing fit. “It all tastes like blood now,” he repeated. He looked like he wanted to say more, but his eyes were drooping, and Dean wondered how he was even finding the strength to be coherent.

The fever broke in the morning.

They didn’t talk about it. Winchesters didn’t talk about that sort of thing, they just held it all in until it exploded out and property damage was done. But this thing, the blood thing, it felt like they’d averted some kind of disaster. Maybe it was only the two of them, and maybe it was only Sam. But something had been averted.

When Dean got him some lunch, he had to go to three different diners before he found one that served black bean burgers. Sam looked wary and almost hopeful when he took a bite of it.

“I can eat eggs,” he said between bites. “And milk. It’s called a lacto-ovo vegetarian. More protein that way.”

Dean nodded. “You could have told me about this. I understand.”

Sam looked down. “I don’t know. I guess I just didn’t want to burden you with it. I thought you wouldn’t notice.”

Oh, Dean noticed all right, but it would have been nice to know. He could have made adjustments, could have taken it into consideration when choosing a place to eat. But he didn’t say anything like that. “At least you’re not just eating rabbit food all the time,” he said instead.

Sam looked up at him, brow creased. “What?”

Dean nodded to the burger in Sam’s hand. “That. It’s not meat, but at least it’s real food.”

Sam flashed him a smile at that, and they ate in silence for a while. “Thanks,” Sam said, after some time had passed. “For the book. It’s got some good food plans, stuff that even we can manage.”

“Good,” Dean replied. “Because I can’t fight the apocalypse by myself.”

Sam smiled again. Two in one conversation, that was an accomplishment. “Don’t worry,” he said. “I’ll be there.”

I LOVE it!!!!!!!

Thank you so much.

I love that Dean noticed even when he wasn't trying to notice, and once he even had a bit of a clue what was actually happening, he went out and did research and helped out his lil bro. Love big-bro!Dean.

Oh, and I especially love that you know what you're talking about. It's great when authors do a little research to get the facts right on what they're talking about, especially medically, and I can see you did.

“Good,” Dean replied. “Because I can’t fight the apocalypse by myself.”

Sam smiled again. Two in one conversation, that was an accomplishment. “Don’t worry,” he said. “I’ll be there.”

Oh, boys!!!

Awesome! I love the idea of how if Sam's off his feed, there's something wrong lol!!

Lovely, especially the end lines.
