Time for a new comment fic meme! Please read the rules as there have been some adjustments due to the recent comment page changes.

THE RULES

→ Leave a comment here with your prompt. 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. ;) )
→ In your prompt, please state your desired characters or pairings. All genres/pairings welcome, but no real-person (RPF) prompts.

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.”

→ Post as many prompts as you like - but one prompt per comment. If you've got a couple, comment with each separately.
→ Prompts can be as short or detailed as you like. Remember though - more detail means less wriggle room for the writer, which might lower the chances of someone picking up your prompt.
→ Go through the prompts! If you find one you like, write a fic for it. There's no limit to how many users can reply to a prompt, or how many prompts someone can write for.
→ When replying to a prompt with your comment-fic, put ‘filled’ in your subject line and then anything else you want, like 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. As subject lines are no more, please begin your fills with the word FILLED and a TITLE in BOLD - the first box on this page shows you how to position the bold tag for proper results.
→ If you notice that your fic is not on the master list after a decent amount of time (say, two days), please poke me in a PM. I might have missed it.
→ Anon posting enabled.
→ NO SPOILERS FOR UNAIRED EPISODES.
→ Play nice - no flaming and no character bashing, period. Any comments that break this rule will be deleted without warning.
→ Feedback is catnip for writers. Leave some author-love!
→ No spam comments.
→ Contact one of the mods if you have a question.
→ Spread the Sam love - pimp this meme!
→ Have fun!

THE MASTER LIST
Gastroenteritis by saltfuture
Sam/Dean or gen, any season, Sam has stomach flu, all the nasty symptoms and Dean is just awesome.

Numb by farfadine
Sam/Dean or gen. A sort of mundane nervous breakdown. Sam has been in awesome!Sam coping mode and suddenly he's just . . . not. But it's not, like, waving a gun around psychotic break. I more have a vision of Sam off doing something ordinary, jogging, an errand, and he just stops. Sitting down on the curb or in the aisle at Walmart or something. And someone gets his phone and calls the first number and Dean has to come and get him.

Everything Flows, Nothing Remains by minviendha
S7: Dean's dead! Oh wait, no, sorry! It was all a terrible misunderstanding. Everything's fine, Sam. ...Sam?

Weaker by monicawoe
Season 5 AU. The continuous influx of demon blood into his system completely unlocks Sam's full psychic potential, and his powers basically explode - visions, telekinesis, Andy's mind-control thing, demon manipulation (controlling and destroying). Getting them under control is not fun, especially after he and Dean go their seperate ways.

There is No Spoon by monicawoe
Season 7, post The Mentalists. Um, what was up with Sam's bent spoon? No, really. Who did that? Subconscious telekinesis is all it takes to turn hallucination into reality.

Make Me Strong Like You by hillz_85
Sam is acting like everything is fine, that he’s not falling apart at the seams because he needs to look out for Dean who is also falling apart... Dean doesn’t notice how bad things have gotten for his brother and his new coping mechanisms until they are pointed out to him... [author's summary]

Bad Days by ladybastet92
Sam/Cas (set anytime where Cas is Cas) Sam is sick. Dean’s out doing important things, Cas shows up, Sam has to explain why he’s sleeping in the middle of the day. Cas decides he would like to take a nap as well. Sassy cuddles!

Miscalculation by si_star_x
Slash. Sam gets some nasty cuts on his face. Dean cleans them. Gentle kissing happens.

By Your Side by emmram
For some reason Sam get his psychic powers back...but rather than Sam controlling them, Lucifer seems to be able to.

Untitled by anonymous
Pre-series. Sam dealing with the aftermath of rape. Speak-esque, preferably with no graphic depiction of the act.

Out of Nothing at All by sakura_no_mi
Sam/Dean or gen. Season seven - There are some days Sam doesn't get out of bed at all. Dean's understanding.

If it Wasn't for Bad Luck by mamapranayama
Sam gets a minor injury- a book falls on his head or he breaks his pinky or something, lol. Dean fusses over him, and discovers Sam is running a fever.

Visit by saltfuture
Stanford era. Dean visits Sam and finds him sick in bed in his dorm room.

Sleepless by anonymous
Gen or slash, S1 or 2. Sam develops really bad insomnia. Really really realllllllly bad. The sleep deprivation is interfering with hunting and he's all cranky and life just generally sucks but he just can't sleep much. So Sam's exhausted beyond all belief, and Dean is so worried about him. He tries everything he can think of to help and none of it works. But eventually Dean stumbles upon one thing that's actually effective. Bonus points if it's something really small and schmoopy, like stroking Sam's hair while he's lying in bed.

Trust in Me and You'll Trust in Yourself by hillz_85
After Dean and Sam separate season 5, Sam stops talking. Even if he wants to, he has somehow lost the ability to talk [...] When Dean meets up with him again, he's of course shocked at this new development. Whether Sam starts talking again eventually is up to you, but I'd love to see Dean coax him out of his mental shell in little, big-brotherly ways.

Untitled by checkthemargins
Sam gets hit with a sleeping curse (it can last for however long you want). After awhile Dean starts waking him up to get him to eat and stuff. Sam is sleepy and adorable and maybe cranky some of the times he's woken up. [WIP]

Life Goes On by ravelqueen
A super wincesty one: Dean breaks off the sexual aspect of their relationship for a bunch of surely very good reasons, but Sam is pretty sure it's because he doesn't like the idea of Sam hallucinating while they're in bed. Or because Sam is all tainted with demon blood. Or because Sam isn't Lisa. Or because he just doesn't want him anymore. His train of thought doesn't go uphill from there. Big misunderstandings and relationship angst ahoy! My unrequited love kink rears its ugly head. [WIP]

It Happened Like This by monicawoe
Dean never went and got Sam from Stanford when John was missing. So when Jess died, Dean wasn't there, and Sam went totally John Winchester, left without a word to anyone, and would not rest until he took down Azazel [...] all I'm looking for is the last scene when Sam finally gets his revenge and maybe John and Dean are there and now that Sam's work his done he breaks into a billion pieces and there is withdrawal and severe psychic pains and screaming and Sam hating himself for what he's become but kind of unapologetic for killing the thing that killed his girl.

Falls the Shadow by inheritedjeans
Gen. Post AHBL part one and AU from there. Sam wakes up on that dirty mattress after Cold Oak with all of his memories of dying and going to heaven intact in his head (maybe he was reuinted with Jess or finally got to meet Mary and was just starting to enjoy having a mom) and he's resentful towards Dean for bringing him back to life and taking him from the peace he finally had and he's almost desperate to go back.

Singin' in the Rain by center_galaxy
Dean doesn't know what to do about the whole broken wall, psychotic break, hallucinating Lucifer thing. Then Sam gets caught in the rain and gets pneumonia. And Dean DOES know what to do about that. Not like he's glad that Sam's sick, but it's just a relief to have something wrong with Sam he can help with. And, since he's there at close quarters taking care of Sam, Sam has his opportunity, too: to broach the subject of Dean's drinking, to try to get him to talk about his despair and his downward spiral. Basically, the manageable hurt/comfort routine goes on while Sam and Dean are tentatively touching on the big, huge hurt-don't-know-how-to-comfort stuff.

Ticking Time Bomb by center_galaxy
Sam finds out he has an aneurysm in his brain. It could be life-threatening, but for the moment it is stable and the doctors schedule him for a surgery to repair it, but it is weeks away. Dean freaks out by overprotecting Sam and doing anything he can keep his brain from 'exploding' in the mean time. He practically drives Sam insane when he won't let him run, do any physical exercise, or even go to the bathroom with the door locked. Dean mother-hen's him to the point where he can't stand it anymore and Sam takes off for a walk ... of course, now that he is alone and separated from Dean, this is when his brain decides it's time to explode.

The Apple Falls from the Tree by center_galaxy
He's been in the business a long time and most of that time he knew John Winchester but never really got to know his kids before, so going on a hunt with them is interesting to say the least. Watching Dean and Sam, how in tandem they are, how much they're like John in different ways. One things for sure though, Dean sure can be one scary mother fucker when Sam is threatened.

Fighting Spirit by center_galaxy
Dean gets his shit together in the drinking department. It was hard HARD work (either on his own--maybe something really traumatic happened that compelled this new lust for a dry life--or via ye olde Twelve-Step program.) And sure, there are painful desires to backslide but dammit, he's got this. And he's had to do it alone because he can't use anything, anyone as a crutch or an excuse any longer. Upon returning to "life", he discovers Sam has drifted into his own addiction (due to the hallucinations or genetics or hey, it's Tuesday or...yeah. Author's choice!) Now Dean has to get through to Sam and save him from himself, without losing his own hard-won sobriety.

Warning: this could be the schmoopiest schmoop ever to schmoop. s7, Sam/Dean or gen.

I feel like a complete freak because I almost always take your prompts, but it's just that your prompts are SO DAMN GOOD but I can't be selfish. However if this hasn't been taken already by like, Wednesday, it is so mine.

....EDIT: This was actually meant for this prompt (http://ohsam.livejournal.com/379475.html?thread=2348371#t2348371). *headdesk*

LOL! I actually meant that for another prompt! I know nothing about pneumonia, but I could definitely research I suppose!!! I do love some dual-Winchester angst.

FILLED: Singin' in the Rain, Sam, Dean (Gen), 1/2

In hindsight, standing outside the library in the rain was a bad idea. It was a bad idea because they were in Minnesota and it was freakin' cold outside and he had no jacket and it was a bad idea because he usually got sick this time of year and both he and Dean knew it.

Yet, even knowing all that, Sam doesn't regret his decision.

The rain feels nice on his bare arms and the cold calms some of the hot fire that Lucifer seemed to summon whenever he showed up. He can imagine, if he closes his eyes, that the rain is washing away all his sins. It's a cheesy though, but hey, after all that's happened--all this is happening to them, he feels like he can indulge in these kinds of thoughts.

"Gonna do a tap dance, Sammy?" Lucifer asks sarcastically; Sam says nothing. Lucifer chuckles and continues on. "Ever wonder where Gene Kelly got his moves? Sometimes, they seemed too amazing to be real, don't you think? Really makes you wonder . . ."

The scar still works if he digs deep enough. Sure enough, as soon a blood begins to well, Lucifer flickers out of existence, leaving Sam with nothing but the calm sound of rain.

And that's how Dean finds him nearly a half an hour later, shivering and with a fever, but happy.


The doctor diagnoses pneumonia and Dean visibly relaxes.

Two days after Sam's little stunt in the rain--seriously, what had he been thinking?--the youngest Winchester woke up with a rattling cough that left him gasping for breath. The eldest Winchester had pretty much figured out what it was on his own, but he needed the confirmation of the x-ray to prove it.

"Luckily, there is no fluid on the lungs," The doctor told them with a smile. "With some rest and antibiotics, you should be good to go within a week."

"Great." Sam replies, but his eyes are focused elsewhere and Dean can guess on who. His little brother has gotten good at hiding it though and he wonders whether that is a good thing or not.

"So, you know how this works?" The doctor asks Dean, handing him the prescription. Dean just chuckles dryly.

"Yeah, we've been through this before."

Finally, familiarity.

FILLED: "Singin' in the Rain, Sam, Dean (Gen) 2/3

If he's honest with himself, Dean will readily admit that he does not know what the hell he's supposed to do to fix Sam. He can't just rebuild the wall and he can't find Death and make him fix it. He could track down Cas and beat the angel senseless, but he knows that won't change anything either. He wishes Bobby were still alive because somehow, the gruff hunter always made it seem like things were going to get better and if you thought otherwise, well then, you were an idjit.

But Bobby is dead, Sam is seeing Lucifer and Dean is barely hanging on.

Thank God for whisky.

Pneumonia is something he knows. He can fight pneumonia off and make Sam better. So, he takes a swig of his beer and hands Sam his pills and then bundles up his little brother in nearly every blanket he can find. Sam looks like a marshmallow with how much cloth is wrapped around him, but it makes Dean feel better to see the results of his work. Finally, this is something he can take care of.

"You know I can't move, right?" Sam asks, though it's more with love in his tone than annoyance. They both know that he enjoys being taken care of and it's been so long since they've had to deal with anything as simple as pneumonia. It's almost a relief to be honest.

"Good, cause you need to rest." Dean chides gently, smiling a bit. It feels foreign to him--he hasn't smile since before Sam's wall broke--and it quickly vanishes. Sam sighs and immediately, Dean is by his side, ready to fix whatever caused that sigh from his brother. "What? Are you okay?"

"It's not me."

"What?"

"It's just . . . why did you do that?" His brother's eyes are so earnest and sincere that Dean has to look away before he completely breaks. He has been strong for so long, trying to be the rock that Sam so desperately needs to hold onto his sanity, but while he knows he could count on his brother, he hasn't for fear of making things worse. So, Dean's been pushing down his pain and letting it come out only in fits of drunkenness that he knows Sam hates to see.

"Do what?"

"Stop smiling like that. You never smile anymore." Sam sounds like a petulant child and flashes of a toddler Sammy pouting after being put to bed fill Dean's mind.

"I do smile."

"Do not."

"Do too!"

"Do not!"

"Do--" He throws his hands up in defeat. "You know what, I'm not going to argue with you. Just get some rest." He turns and prepares to leave when a weak hand reaches out and grabs his wrist.

"Dean, wait." Tears are glistening in Sam's eyes and crap, Dean had forgotten how easily his little brother cried when he was sick. If Sam started to cry, the wall Dean had so carefully constructed would break.

"What is it, Sammy?" He kneels down and allows Sam to hold his hand because, what the hell, the kid is sick.

"I just . . ." He looks away, embarrassed.

"What?"

"I just want us to be okay."

"What are you talking about? We're fine--"

"No, we're not!" Sam shouts, then coughs as his breath leaves him.

FILLED: "Singin' in the Rain" Sam, Dean (Gen) 3/3

"Hey, take it easy," Dean whispers, rubbing comforting circles on Sam's back. "Sam, just relax."

"Bobby is dead, Dean!" Sam continues and the eldest Winchester visibly flinches at that reminder. He hadn't allowed himself time to grieve the loss of his father figure. He hadn't want himself to look weak in front of Sam, who was just hanging by a thread to sanity.

"Sam--"

"He's dead," The youngest Winchester insists forcefully. "And you are all I have left, okay? Everyone else I know is dead." He pauses for a second and then anger contorts his expression. "Just shut up! You're not real!" Dean immediately grips Sam's arms and pulls his little brother so his face is resting on Dean's heartbeat. His younger brother still immediately.

"You're not going to lose me, Sam." Dean promises.

"Don't say that," Sam hisses. "Don't say that to me when you're killing yourself!"

"What?" He says incredulously as Sam pulls away from him.

"You drink too much--"

"I don't--"

"--and you never talk to me about what you're thinking!"

"Sam--"

"I know I'm broken, Dean," Sam confesses quietly. "But I'm trying to hold on for you, Dean. If you're just gonna die, then I'm going to stop, okay?"

"Sam, no--!" Because that is Dean's worse fear. Having his brother turn into nothing but a vegetable and not be able to help him would be the death of him. He could not allow that to happen.

"So, tell me, Dean," His little brother demands. "Are you going to just die?"

"No." He answers.

"Dean--"

"Sam, listen to me," He forces his little brother to meet his gaze. "I will keep fighting as long as you keep fighting, okay? I'll do my best to smile and I'll try to cut down on the drinking--"

"And you'll talk to me." Sam insists.

"Sam--"

"The walls already broken, dude," His brother chuckles dryly. "What's the worse that can happen?"

A lot of things, Dean thinks idly, but he pushes that thought away because Sam is right.

This support thing has to go both aways.

"Okay, Sam." He whispers.

"Really?" Sam asks skeptically.

"Really."

"I mean it, Dean."

"So do I."

And for the first time in the longest time, a weight lifts off of Dean's shoulders.

Maybe, they can do this after all.

"We good?"

"We're good."

Sam just smiles.
