ohsam | TRIPLE PLAY at OhSam!

Let’s try something a little different for September at

ohsam! We’re calling it the Triple Play Challenge and here’s the deal …

BOOST THE SIGNAL

Step One: Write a three-part prompt.
1.) Pick a setting
2.) Pick an additional character or characters (Sam is assumed, naturally.)
3.) Pick an H/C scenario, with Sam as the focus. Other characters can share the misery, but Sam should get the brunt of it. That's how we roll. :D

You can make as many prompts as your little heart desires, one set per comment, but it would probably work best if kept simple. For instance: 1.) the Impala, 2.) Dean and Garth, 3.) an infected hangnail, or 1.) autumn 2.) Jessica Moore 3.) allergies.

Step Two: Make visual art! Create a drawing, painting, photomanip, or video based around an offered prompt set. All three points must be addressed. The art can be doodled or extravagantly detailed, artist’s choice. And, of course, Sam should be the primary focus of the H/C. Please reply with your art under the prompt you chose, and either put the art beneath a cut or supply a link to it, with appropriate header and warnings! (See sidebar left.) As subject lines are no more, please begin your fills with the word FILLED and a TITLE in BOLD.

Step Three: Authors are invited to write roughly 300 words for the art. (No one’s going to count so if you run a little under, no big deal. And if you’re inspired to write more? Awesome! Go for it.) Again, please reply with your fic under the art you chose, with appropriate header and warnings. (See sidebar left.) As subject lines are no more, please begin your fills with the word FILLED and a TITLE in BOLD.

If more than one author or artist wants to work with the same prompt, have at it! Steps Two and Three can be inverted, however the end game is to complete all three steps, the Triple Play. But hey, follow where the muse leads you. Most of all, have fun … at Sam’s expense. ;)

The usual courtesies apply:
→ If you notice that your fic is not on the master list after a decent amount of time (say, three 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!

FILLED: bruises prove it's real, 2/2

4.

Sam walks through her door one night with half of his right eyebrow burned away and the hair next to his temple singed at the edges. Jess stares for a moment, then simply raises her eyebrows.

Sam narrows his eyes and Jess bites her lip against the laughter threatening to escape. "Don't ask," he mutters, throwing himself down onto her bed, and she doesn't.

Instead, she collapses into giggles, holding her hand over her mouth in an ineffective attempt to stifle the sound. Sam raises his head to glare, but he can't stop the corner of his mouth from twitching. Jess screeches with laughter when he rolls over, yanking her down onto the bed with his hands on her hips.

5.

As soon as they get their apartment, before they even buy their furniture, Sam hangs the curtains.

Jess giggles at his enthusiasm, standing with her hands on her hips as he climbs up the ladder - some things are too high even for a giant like Sam. His shirt rides up as he gets the curtain rod on the hooks, and she sees the massive bruise on his lower back, an ugly purple-black. The yellowing at the edges tells her it's been there a while.

Jess almost asks when and how he was hurt, why he didn't tell her, but Sam turns to ask if the curtains are hanging straight with a blinding smile, and she swallows the questions down.

+1

Jess wakes up in the middle of the night to the sound of the water running and Sam cursing under his breath.

She yawns as she gets out of bed, rubbing her eyes as she walks to the bathroom. She freezes in the doorway, hand flying to her mouth.

Sam's sitting on the edge of the tub, shirt covered in blood from the still-bleeding wound on his shoulder.

"Jesus, Sam," she hisses, going over to him. Her hands flutter over his shoulder, not sure where to touch. "What the hell happened?"

Sam shakes his head, pressing a towel to the wound with a grimace. "Nothin' Jess. It's just a scratch. Go back to sleep."

"Just a scratch, my ass. You need to go to the hospital," Jess says, trying to help him up, "Let me get the car and--"

"Jess." He grips her hand in his, squeezing her fingers. She hadn't even realized she was shaking. "I'm fine. I promise."

Jess should call him a liar. Drag his stupid, stubborn ass to the nearest hospital. Instead, she takes a breath then takes the towel from Sam, pressing against the wound as hard as she dares. Sam swallows back a grimace and stares at his hands, the wall, anywhere but at her face.

The silence stretches like miles between them, long and winding.

YES! I could see this as canon. Totes. Well done!

EEEEEE. Sorry this is so late to the party, but thanks so much for this absolutely stunning fill.

Your writing is gripping and could totally be canon. Great job!
