Sam goes deaf in August of his senior year at Stanford (reason why is up to author). He's already with Jess at this point and she takes great care of him, learns sign with him, helps him keep going. Then Dean shows up, completely oblivious about Sam's new problem. Gen with Sam/Jess, please.

[jennytork.livejournal.com]

I LOVE YOU.

[shangrilada.livejournal.com]

Sam developed Type 1 diabetes while at Stanford. It's not that he doesn't WANT to tell Dean, just that there's never a good time...

[emmram.livejournal.com]

I'm honestly curious... is it possible to develop type 1 that late in life?

[roque-clasique.livejournal.com]

Post-wall Sam gets a bad head injury (S7, AU, or whenever) and in order to deal with it, doctors have to shave his head.

When he comes to he finds himself with short hair for the first time... ever.

To make matters worse, his hands are a bit shaky and he has trouble shaving his face, so on top of short hair, he also has a slowly-growing beard.

Long story short: he's never looked less like himself in his life. The guy he sees in the mirror? That's not him. And for a kid who's trying his darndest just to hold it together enough to believe in the rest of the world, it's pretty rough not to recognize even yourself.

All the bonus points for Dean tenderly shaving Sam's face. (Once Sam chills out enough to let someone near his throat with a razor, of course *g*)

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

How much love do I have for your permanent injury/shaving kink? THIS MUCH.

♥

[roque-clasique.livejournal.com]

I do try to be less predictable, I do, but...

Sam went on a solo hunt at Stanford and seriously (read: forever) fucked up his leg/s. Hip, knee, ankle, whatever, you know the drill.

Dean swoops in, grabs Sam, Lady-in-White, yadda yadda, and it's not until they're really moving around during the case that he sees that Sam's not as 100% as he'd thought.

Dean freaks out.

Amputee!Sam, Stanford AU

[captclooless.livejournal.com]

Due to some incident at Stanford (fire, building collapse, Sam being an idiot hero, whatever you want~) Sam is left one leg short. He lives the best he can with it, and yeah, it gets tough sometimes, but Winchesters deal, damnit.

The only hunter who knows is the one he had listed as as contact, his "Uncle" Bobby. As such, Bobby demands Sam spend every break relaxing at the salvage yard, pretty much to make sure Sam takes his meds and doesn't try to be an idjit.

And then, of course, one break, Dean and John show up, asking for some backup. John, after seeing Sam there, demands he come along. Sam says No, argument erupts, "Because I don't have a fucking LEG, Dad!" ... And then the fallout.

Re: Amputee!Sam, Stanford AU

[roque-clasique.livejournal.com]

Yessssssssss. Yes of course.

[shangrilada.livejournal.com]

Season 2. In 2.01, while both Dean and John were still unconscious, Sam had a pretty hideous hospital experience: a fever that had him freezing cold and confused, an allergic reaction to one of the meds they gave him, and the after-effects of that concussion the demon gave him in the season 1 finale. Add that to standing over Dean's lifeless body and discovering John's body, and Sam has some issues with hospitals. Dean knows and is sympathetic, but Sam has this chest infection that's getting steadily worse, and Dean's a good nurse but this is starting to look above their pay grade. Dean HAS to bring him to the ER, and Sam is just scaaaared. Dean gets a drugged-up Sam to sleep with his head in his lap in the waiting room while he harasses doctors. Wicked-sympathetic!Dean, trying-to-hold-it-together!sick!Sam. Gen please.

[shangrilada.livejournal.com]

Uh, that's a New England "wicked," not an evil Dean "wicked." Thought I should clarify.

[klutzy-girl.livejournal.com]

AU during Devil's Trap. Gen, please.

Sam is the one who Azazel hurts instead of Dean, and is also the one in the coma, and thus the one who John makes the deal for.

Lots of angst and comfort ensues.

Post-6.07 prompt

[khakigrrl.livejournal.com]

Sam is furious. He doesn't want to talk to Dean, he doesn't want to even look at Dean,... but without Dean as a distraction, Dean just being there reminding Sam that he's out of the cage, he knows it won't be long before the Lucifer in his head shows up again and he loses touch with reality.

So Sam walks down the pier, away from Dean, then he drops his duffle and starts pacing back and forth between Dean on the shore and the end of the pier. Sam just... he doesn't know what to do.

Re: Post-6.07 prompt

[vail-kagami.livejournal.com]

Could you by any chance mean 7.06 instead of 6.07?

(I like this prompt, by the way.)

Preseries prompt

[khakigrrl.livejournal.com]

After Dean got his GED and stopped attending school, he's going with Dad on more hunts. The hunt for the kitsune wasn't the first time Sam was left alone for days at a time, and it won't be the last.

Yes, money, worrying about Dean and Dad, and school are all issues, but Sam finds that the lonliness is the hardest thing to deal with. There is literally no one he can really talk to.

CLAIM

[clex_monkie89.livejournal.com]

LONELY SAM IS MY WEAKNESS.

commited to a psych ward

[mamapranayama.livejournal.com]

Sorry about this ridiculouly long prompt:

Sam has a complete psychotic break after finding out about Amy and telling
Dean to leave without him. His usual coping mechanisms don't work and he ends up attempting suicide while he's alone in a motel room (he could swallow a bunch of pills, or slit his wrists, it's up to you). The motel manager finds him and he's shipped off to a hospital where he's commited to a psych ward and drugged to the gills so much that he's almost a zombie and he's brainwashed by the doctors into believing that he's a danger to himself and others. When Dean finds him, he tries to break Sam out, but Sam won't let him, thinking that he is a burden to Dean and that he needs to stay in the psych ward because he's afraid he might hurt Dean or others. Dean has to find a way to show him otherwise. Gen preferred.

Re: commited to a psych ward

[spnshannanigans.livejournal.com]

Please, please, please - someone take this awesome prompt!! :)

[klutzy-girl.livejournal.com]

Season five fic, gen or Wincest.

With everything falling apart on him, post 5.18, Sam tries to kill himself, but Bobby finds him. It's revealed that he also tried after Dean rejected him during the phone call in "The End".

The boys make up.

7.03 prompt

[khakigrrl.livejournal.com]

In 7.03, while Dean's in Amy's hotel room telling her she should've changed her license plates, there's a leviathan in Sam's telling him the same. That and how stupid it was to use the same credit card to book the room that'd he'd used at the Sip 'n Go. I mean, using a rockstar's name? How trackable can you get?

However, once the Leviathan attacks and bites the arm Sam put up to defend himself, he realizes that Sam isn't any ordinary human. The taste of his blood? Better than nacho cheese! He puts a torniquet on Sam's arm, planning to save him like a vampire would for periodic feeding, and waits for Dean's return.

Re: 7.03 prompt

[vail-kagami.livejournal.com]

And here goes my resolve not to participate this time...

[klutzy-girl.livejournal.com]

Fic set anytime, gen.

Sam ends up getting sick with a cold three times in a seven week period. There's a hospital trip at one point.

CLAIM?

[shangrilada.livejournal.com]

would love this one as well, again, stop me if I'm being too grabbyhands.

Psychic nosebleeds for everyone!

[road-rhythm.livejournal.com]

Gen, Wincest, or gen with massive & messed up subtext all welcome.

Something—demon activity, proximity to a demon-crafted object, whatever your imagination comes up with—causes Sam to have a psychic episode. Visions, involuntary telekinesis, or any other power we've seen out of Azazel's kids are all fine, but bonus points for something completely different, that neither Sam nor Dean can get a handle on. Like most of Sam's psychic episodes, this one is agonizing and debilitating—even more so than usual, and for much longer. Rather than the photogenic trickle his schnoz usually sports during such things, Sam's psychic beezer becomes a veritable fountain, too.

Basically I just love me some psychic nosebleeds and have no shame.

Would be especially interested to see it set sometime in S1-4, but use whatever timeframe works best!

Re: Psychic nosebleeds for everyone!

[quickreaver.livejournal.com]

Holy frijoles YES!

[mamapranayama.livejournal.com]

Gen. After 'Defending your life', Sam's not nearly doing as well as he claims and he feels the need to keep moving and hunting at all times. He barely sleeps or eats and he runs obsessively as a coping mechanism. However, all of this wears his body down and starts to make him sick. He catches a cold at first, but it only gets worse since he continues to run everyday, even when it's raining and snowing. Even though he's sick and getting worse everyday, Dean can't get him to stop and slow down until he finally collapses from sheer exhaustion.

Claim!

[greeneyes-fan.livejournal.com]

I'll give this one a try.

[4422shini.livejournal.com]

There hasn't been enough multiple personality fic with Sam, therefore...

Gen. Post season 6, Hell!Sam and Robo!Sam are still there with Sam, and have gained control through his splintered psyche, aaaaaand he still has Hallucifer. Sam shifts through personalities like a persons shuffling cards, and Dean doesn't know what the fuck is going on. He's still got his cast (and is high on pain meds) on and is having a hard time keeping Sam grounded.

And more stuff can happen too. Use this as a springboard.

Aaaaaand go!!!

Love the way you Lovecraft

[road-rhythm.livejournal.com]

S7, gen or Wincest equally welcome:

There's a good reason Sam and Dean are dealing with Hell very differently, over and beyond the fact that they're very different people: they had very different experiences. Dean spent 40 years with demons, who all started off human and are all, more or less, folk. Sam spent 180 years with angels, who are so alien that their true form burns out physical eyes (if you have them) and their true voices rupture ear drums (if you have them). Exposure to them is an aesthetic collision of Lovecraftian proportions. It doesn't matter that they're beautiful; they're still eldritch.

Being tortured for six times longer than your entire life is bad for you, granted, but the more pertinent problem is that that spending a couple centuries with angels in on a plane where none of the convenient Earth-bound filters apply is a literally brain-breaking experience. So if you do come back from that, your brain's never looking at anything the same way again.

Even your brother.

[shangrilada.livejournal.com]

Soulless Sam is sick. Really sick. Dean has to deal.

CLAIM

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

Okay, this one's all mine.

[shangrilada.livejournal.com]

Mystery Spot. Somewhere around the 80th Tuesday, Dean dies in a very horrible, slooow way, and Sam spends the night reassuring him that everything's going to be okay and generally takes amazing care of him. He wakes up to the next Tuesday and he just can't. He can't. He won't get out of bed, he doesn't have the energy to tell Dean what's wrong, and he's a sobbing mess because he knows Dean can only make fun of him for 24 hours. He is just completely broken, can't stop crying, making himself sick. Dean is so confused and so concerned. Gen please.

[leah-elisabeth.livejournal.com]

Ack!! I love this so much!

[checkthemargins.livejournal.com]

Lucifer has something to say about Sam's newfound "I'm good, really! That 180 years in Hell? I'm pretty much over it" state of mind.

READ: Sam is lying lie-teller telling lies, and Lucifer cannot stand for this nonsense. And by Lucifer I mean Sam, because Lucifer is a figment of his crazy.

[checkthemargins.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry, that was vague...and LJ apparently doesn't let you edit comments! This refers to the attitude he appears to have adopted at the end of 7x04.

[leah-elisabeth.livejournal.com]

There is a demon. This demon has a box. This box is just barely big enough to fit a large 6'4" man, if you fold him up really small. Basically, I just want Sam stuck in a tiny box. Dean has to get him out and help him work through the muscle cramps and psychological trauma from being in such a tiny space.

[campclavical.livejournal.com]

If you don't mind, I would LOVE to fill this.

[leah-elisabeth.livejournal.com]

Repost from 7 03 Comment fic meme.
Dean gets out of the hospital just fine but Sam is locked in the MRI room with the leviathan doctor. Said doctor has just eaten so he doesn't want to feed on Sam right away and finds himself in the mood for a little senseless torture. Cue Sam waking up and thinking he is back in hell. Also, would love heroic rescuers, Bobby and Dean and some schmoop later on to put Sammy back together.

[leah-elisabeth.livejournal.com]

Repost from 7 03 comment fic meme.
Similar to the "Bones" episode, the end in the beginning, Sam is in a coma for a week and when he wakes up, he has dreamed an entirely different life for himself, starting with the week before Dean came back into his life. He married Jess, reconciled with his father and brother and managed to have that normal life he always dreamed of. He wakes up after Jess tells him she is expecting. Then have Dean put the pieces back together as Sam begins to remember everything that happened in between. Can I say, ANGST!

[leah-elisabeth.livejournal.com]

Levi-Dean doesn't just want to talk. He throws Sam around before revealing the Amy secret. Now he is really angry at Dean but too injured to run. Their differences have to be resolved because the nature of his injuries means he is entirely dependent on Dean for at least the next few weeks.

CLAIM

[captainlon.livejournal.com]

Where my comment go? lol

May I snag?

[leah-elisabeth.livejournal.com]

November 2, 1985. Sam is two and a half years old. John is passed out drunk and the job follows him home. He wakes up to find Dean unconscious and bloody on the floor and no sign of Sam. You can pick the monster, so long as it involves lots of fear and pain for baby Sammy.
