Title: Some Things You Have to Live Through
Author: rainylemons
Rating: R for gore, disturbing imagery, torture, and, well, hell.
Word count: 8978
Warnings: Did I mention hell?
Spoilers: Family Remains
Pairings/Genre: brief canon Sam/Ruby, h/c, horror
Summary: Sam wants to understand what Dean told him about being a torturer in hell. In order to try to help Dean, he needs to understand. (Set immediately following the end scene in ‘Family Remains.’) And, given how things play out for Dean in following episodes, it’s maybe a little bit AU.
Author’s Note: Written for the summer_sam_love celebration before I realized that fic was meant to be light R and family friendly, which this is most certainly not. The comm mods, however, are nine kinds of awesome and are letting me post this as a bonus fic. Show them and the comm (and Sam!) some love.
A/N II: Huge thanks to kasman for the beta work. Thank you, m’dear, you’re a life saver! Any lingering weirdness and errors is all on me. Also, much love and appreciation to ratherastory who gamely tried to help me with this fic, even though I beat her over her head with her personal squick.
