ohsam | A Sam-focused h/c meme!

ratherastory.livejournal.com posting in

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? ~

“I’m good now.”

“You sure?”

“Yeah, thanks.”

Dean nodded and let Sam make the last steps to the bathroom by himself. When he heard the water being turned on, he leant against the wall next to the door and slid down until he sat on the floor.

At least the screaming was over. The faint shaking of his limbs Sam hadn’t managed to quiet hide, though.

“Need some painkillers?” Dean asked after a while, loud enough to be heard over the running water.

Sam took his time before he finally responded with a “No” that lacked meaning.

So, yes. Dean sighed and reached up to fumble blindly in the drawer to his right.

The water was shut off and after another minute Sam stumbled out of the bathroom, still damp and with a towel around his waist.

“Seriously, Dean,” he said when he spotted the pills in Dean’s hands. “I don’t want anymore drugs.”

For a moment he considered to insist that Sam took some, just so he wouldn’t have to see him walk around in pain any longer. God knows Sam had experienced enough of that over the course of the last two days and nights. But he saw Sam’s point. Was glad Sam had made that point, in fact.

So, Dean got up, placed the box back inside the drawer and slowly walked over to where his brother sat on the bed.

“Hey,” he said, but Sam didn’t raise his face from his hands. He sighed and sat down next to him. “What’s wrong?” It wasn’t that he didn’t knew. He knew damn well. Sam had to get it out, though.

“What’s wrong?” Sam snorted and looked up at him, incredulous. “Where do I begin?”

“Sam…”

“Don’t tell me it’s not my fault, Dean!” Sam spat, angry. Not at Dean though, but at himself and Dean wished that he wouldn’t be so goddamn fucked himself, that he could actually fix this. “Because it is, and you know it!” Sam said and Dean wondered where his brother took the energy from to get worked up like this after the strain of going through detox.

“I actually thought I would be strong enough.” Sam laughed humorlessly and carded a distressed hand through his wet hair. “But I’m not… I know that now, Dean. I’m not strong enough to control it, much less fight it.”

“You said ‘no’.”

“What?”

“In that diner, with all those demons. You told Famine ‘no’.”

“So?” Sam stared at him, confused.

“Looked pretty damn strong from where I was standing.”

“Dean…”

“I gotta admit, I didn’t expect it. When you barged in there, blood around your mouth and Famine offered you all those sons of bitches, I thought…” He trailed off and Sam averted his gaze with a pained nod. “Anyway, you didn’t,” Dean continued quickly. “And for that, I’m proud of you, Sammy.”

Sam’s eyes were wide when his head snapped back up to stare at him in disbelieve.

“I really am,” he said and offered his brother a smile. For the first time in a long time he felt like he meant it, too.

“Thanks,” Sam mumbled and returned his smile tentatively.

Silence fell over them and for a moment they settled into the easy, quiet camaraderie they used to have.

“You sure you don’t want any painkillers?” Dean asked after a while, when Sam shifted and a pained groan escaped him.

“Yeah,” he said. “Not today anyway. I just want to get some sleep.”

“Okay.” He made room so Sam could stretch out face down on the bed. With his hands on his legs, ready to push himself up, another thought crossed his mind so he scooted up the bet to sit next to Sam’s torso.

Sam blinked at him uncomprehendingly when Dean splayed his hands over Sam’s shoulders. God, his brother’s back was hard as stone.

“Tell me where,” he said and started kneading the knots out of Sam’s tense muscles.

“You don’t have to,” Sam mumbled.

“I know,” he said. “You want me to stop?”

Sam stared at him for a while, eyes boring into his. Dean didn’t know what his brother expected to find there, but he held his gaze and eventually Sam shook his head, before he mumbled, “A little lower and to the middle.”

Dean moved his hands accordingly, pressing his palms in at the sides of Sam’s spine, right below his shoulder blades. “This good?”

“Uh huh.” Sam nodded into his pillow. He hissed a few times when Dean pried especially stubborn knots loose, but in the end the sounds of pain turned into soft puffs off breath as his body grew pliant under Dean’s hands.

“Hey Sam,” he said after a while and waited for his brother to huff out an affirmative sound.

“You know I’m not mad at you, right?”

Dean could feel his brother stiffen again under his fingers. Apparently he didn’t know. “I’m not. And I don’t blame you for whatever you think I do. Or for whatever you blame yourself.”

“Dean…” His brother said, just short of explaining all the reasons why Dean should indeed blame him. With a firm shake of his head, Dean smothered any protest Sam might have.

“I mean it, Sammy,” he said and gave his brother’s neck a reassuring squeeze.

The look in Sam’s eyes was still flickering but eventually his expression calmed and he mumbled a shaky, “Thank you.” If there were tears lurking at the corners, well, they both pretended not to notice.

“No need to thank me,” he said around a smile and shrugged. “You’re my brother, man.”

At the sight of Sam’s doubtful expression, he snarled, “Don’t you dare question that! Ever!”

He had, once. It had been the worst feeling and no way in hell would he let Sam go through that. Not if he had a say in that matter.

“Whatever shitty reasons your freaky brain comes up with to doubt that, they are wrong, you hear me? All that fighting, that’s behind us, remember? We’re in this together.”

Sam nodded. “Okay.”

He hesitate for a moment, but if they were at it, he might just put Sam's last fear to rest. "About that demon blood..."

Sam sucked in a breath and Dean knew he was hauling up the defenses. "I never thought you were a freak," he said and took the wind out of Sam's sails.

"All I did was worry about you. I know your not a kid anymore, but I'm still your older brother and I'll always be, so if you want me to stop that, I'm sorry, but I can't. I can't stop worrying about what it does to you. What other hunters will do to you if they find out." He sighs and hears Sam swallow hard. "I'm not sorry for wanting you to be okay. So if you think I'm looking at you like you're a freak, you gotta know I'm not."

Sam blinked, thoughtfully and finally he offered him a crooked smile. It might take a while before he'd believe it fully, but Dean got the feeling they were slowly getting back on the right track.

“Good.” He grinned and nudged Sam’s shoulder playfully, eliciting a chuckle from his brother and the tension finally started to dissipate.

“Dean?”

“Yeah?”

“Will you braid my hair?”

“Oh, shut up!”

I guess you were hoping for a bit more schmoop, but this just popped into my head. Maybe someone else will come up with something.
Hope you liked it anyway.

N'aaawwwww!

*pets the boys*

The braiding the hair snark was a brilliant way to end it. You rock. :D

Awwwwuh! That's just perfect!

Oh Sam. *hugs* him. That was lovely. He needs absolution. He needs to know how proud Dean is of him. I loved that about this story. And I adore the final line. Hee! Perfect.

Loved it. :)

Awww, it's lovely! Sam definitely needs some forgiveness! And to have his hair braided!

Kind words and massages and Sammy snark! I really liked that.

Oh, I was so glad to hear Dean say he was proud of Sam for saying no, cause I know I was, and I spent most of season three being mad at Sammy for drinking demon blood. I was so proud of him when he asked Dean to tie him down and when he said no. And the snark about braiding his hair was perfectly balanced "I love you, man" and "You just had a chick-flick moment" aimed at Dean. Loved this.

sytaxia.livejournal.com

Aaah - Sam really, really needs absolution of some kind, and the way that you worked it out was just wonderful. I really enjoyed Dean's snarl, it's almost as if he's angry at himself for ever allowing Sam to feel that way, and then externalizing that anger at Sam - great job! And I loved the snark at the end, too :)
