Prompts for the Ohsam fic challenge are here!

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

Okay, from November 2nd to November 11th inclusively, leave up to five Sam-centric h/c prompts! You don't have to participate in the challenge to leave a prompt, although it is encouraged! I will compile a master list under the cut, along with claims. (You don't have to prompt in order to claim, either, for that matter, but again, it is encouraged!)

One prompt per comment, please, and please warn for spoilers and/or any triggers in your prompt. We encourage "greying out" spoilers and triggers, or using white font, whichever works better for you. Please specify if your prompt is for gen, slash, het, other or if you don't mind either way. I will be listing the prompts by pairing (if you can call gen a pairing, but let's not start splitting hairs, right?)

After November 11th, prompting will be closed, and claiming will commence until November 30th, but you can post at any time until February 2nd.

:::ETA:::

Prompting is now closed! In a few minutes I'll be putting up the claims post. The rules for claiming will be explained, have no fear.

Psychological issues!Sam must be prompted over and over until much fic is written about his angst, so. Yes. I am here.

I'm going to tweak an old, unfilled prompt of mine (originally for Dean, but I love them equally really I do) and hope that's okay. If this is too long, the bold text should give you all the info you need.

After his return from the cage (or some other trauma of your choice) Sam suffers from depersonalization. Which basically means a person feels disconnected from their body, or parts of it, especially when stressed -- they can look at themselves in the mirror and feel like a stranger is staring back, or get the overwhelming feeling that, say, those are someones else's legs they're walking on, or that one/both their hands are not their own, and so on.

There is no hallucination or psychosis involved, it's basically a feeling (in the same way, for example, your brain insists that the room in spinning after you move in circles) and Sam KNOWS it's just a feeling, damn it, but it is so real he just can't stand it. And it happens to him unexpectedly, too, which makes it hard to focus and potentially dangerous for a hunter.

Maybe Dean knows, maybe he doesn't, maybe he finds out and tries to comfort/ground Sam during these episodes.

Gen, anywhere between Stanford era to the first chapters of season 8.

[ever-dimming.livejournal.com]

Sam is doing his best to make a life for himself in Stanford, but almost two decades of the Winchester lifestyle have taken their toll. Once he's away from hunting and those constant, life-threatening situations that kept everything else under the rug, his longtime dormant (or always-there-but-unrecognized/overlooked) PTSD flares up.

You can take it anywhere really, but if Sam is admitted to some kind of (on-campus?) inpatient facility, I would love to see what happens there. But that's just a suggestion, do with it what you will.

Gen please.

[ever-dimming.livejournal.com]

Another slightly altered old prompt of mine (from one of the previous OhSam challenges), I hope it's not rude to do this.

Outsider POV. Anytime during the series except season 8/9. No wincest please, anything else is fine.

He has no idea who this guy is or how he got this way. All he knows is it's freezing outside, the man is already on the verge of hypothermia, and he is clearly not in touch with reality.
He also has no idea who this "Dean" is he keeps mistaking him for, but if it'll help get him off the bridge/street, he will play along.

ETA: He can also be she, whatever works.

[quickreaver.livejournal.com]

OH GOSH I LOVE THIS. (I'm a huge sucker for Outsider POVs. I may have to snag this one...)

Season 5, Gen, AU of the "Song Remains the Same"--Anna, instead of going back to the 70's to kill Mary and John, travels back in time to when Sam ran away to Flagstaff. Dean and Castiel go back in time to protect the younger version of Sam while present day Sam stays with Bobby (he can't go back and meet his past self because the fabric of time would come undone, etc.). Of course, younger Sam, being as smart as present day Sam, figures out why Dean and Castiel are there and he thinks that maybe it is best if Anna did kill him. After all, he reasons, without him there is no apocalypse. Cue lots of big!brother Dean and caring!Castiel assuring him that they will find out a solution that will save the world without killing him. Bonus points if you could throw in a scene in the present where, after younger Sam receives an injury from Anna, it shows up suddenly on present day Sam and Bobby freaks out.

Young! or teen!Sam + possession. Because there's no way it didn't happen till BUABS.

Gen preferred.

[wine-echos.livejournal.com]

I'm so down to read this, too!

[(Anonymous)]

Teen Sam cancer fic? I feel like there are barely any good ones out there! Maybe include Sam worrying about how the treatment will affect his "normal life"/college plans. Lots of gory medical details please ;D

[ladybastet92.livejournal.com]

(Spoilers just for the end of season 8) Here's the thing about purifying yourself: you have you let your old self die first. Sam's body starts shutting down after completing the trials - he develops heart failure, he loses his ability to use his muscles, even his eyesight and hearing go away. Dean and Cas take care of him as best they can, while looking for a way to save him. No character death, please, but be as mean to the boy as you would like! I'd prefer gen, but Sam/Cas is okay too.

[ashleymarie84.livejournal.com]

Oh I hope someone writes the hell out of this one!

[wine-echos.livejournal.com]

warning: child abuse
pairing:gen (or up to author)
John and Dean (18-20) have settled down in a trailer park for a couple of months for a long term hunt. They have been there for a couple of months so far, and along the way, Dean has befriended Sam (15-17) who lives next door/in a nearby trailer. Sam lives with his dad/stepdad who abuses him. Dean knows about the abuse and helps him out as much as he can: lets him sleep over when things get bad, patches him up, comforts him. What Dean doesn't know is that the reason Sams dad abuses him is because he is a shifter/werewolf (like his mom who has passed away) and his dad thinks he is less than human, a filthy mutt so he doesn't treat him very well and HATES when Sam shifts. Sam can shift whenever he wants but always does on the full moon, during which time his dad chains him up in the backyard (maybe with a silver collar and/or ties him to a stake in the middle of the yard.) Dean has noticed (but brushed off) that sometimes there is a "dog" outback of Sam's house. Maybe he brings it up once and Sam just says it's their pet. Something happens one night, Dean hears yelling coming from Sams house and goes over to try to help and while he is there he sees/overhears Sam secret. I picture Sam's father making him shift and tying him up in the backyard. Dean to rescue. I always wanted to write this myself and had a scene pictured where Sam discovers Dean is a hunter, freaks out and gets mad Dean never told him, they get into a fight about it, Sam leaves but shows up at Deans house that night beat to hell and says "I'm sorry I got mad, can I stay here tonight?" Eveything is really up to author with details and such, these are just ideas bouncing around in my head.

tw: child abuse



Gen please! I'd like Bobby to be included as well, but it's not required. Feel free to set it during any timeframe of the show.

[ladybastet92.livejournal.com]

Sam is taken by a Demons & Angels-esque serial killer (human or not) who tortures his/her victims by (very violently and possibly permanently) taking away their senses. Sam is captured, and loses a sense for every day Dean (and Cas and ect) doesn't find him. And not through basic supernatural ways: I mean loosing his ability to see because a hot poker was put to his eyes. And loosing his ability to speak because his tongue was cut out and mouth sewn shut.

Feel free to deal with the aftereffects any way you'd like, just no character death please. Gen or Sam/Cas, please!

holy frack woman
that's not even remotely ok

someone needs to give it to me now

Gen fic prompt, whited-out for Season 9 spoilers through 9.05:

[jasmineisland.livejournal.com]

I want some cute warm fuzzies- Spoiler for 9.05

[madebyme-x.livejournal.com]

Gen. Set late in season 8.

A fevered Sam is wandering around the men of letters cave and stumbles upon a hidden, air tight room, full of ancient transcripts and rare books. But then his fever spikes and he loses time, waking up on the floor of the locked air tight room.

I'd love to see an unwell Sam fight through his fever to save himself, only to come face to face with a pissed off and freaked-out Dean.

[rokhal.livejournal.com]

Suppose that "lips sewn shut" is a Norse euphemism for a powerful curse.

Norse. Euphemism.

And that happens to Sam.

[quickreaver.livejournal.com]

Delicious.

[sharktheory.livejournal.com]

Sam's had hundreds of hallucinations over the years, whether it's demon blood detoxing, Hallucifer, or something else. But it's something else entirely when he's not the only one who can see them - Dean, Bobby, whoever you like. Whether or not they can be physically affected by the hallucinations is your choice.

Gen preferred.

[quickreaver.livejournal.com]

I haven't read any Stanford-era fics lately! How about one that chronicles how difficult it was for Sam to make ends meet/afford housing/work full-time and go to school full-time, but he's bound and determined to make it happen without grifting or credit-card fraud. The honest way. He is pre-law, after all.

This is, perhaps, when Jess finds him: burning the candle at both ends, in threadbare clothes, two apples and a Gatoraid in his 'fridge and twenty bucks to his name. His 'full ride' didn't include room and board. Or something like that. Throw in whatever h/c tickles your fancy!

[of-nightingales.livejournal.com]

Sam/Jess or Gen or whatever.

Pilot AU.
Sam gets back early from the hunt, in time to save Jess, but there's still a demon to deal with and there's still a fire. Big Brother Dean comes to the rescue, but not before Sam's pretty beat up and has some serious burns (possibly even permanent damage).
Oh and now Sam has to explain everything to a very freaked out Jess.

[chaos-slave.livejournal.com]

S5 setting, gen or Wincest - Zachariah can't convince Dean to say yes to Micheal and his patience is wearing thin, after one more failed plan he decides to take out his frustrations on the youngest Winchester. Revisiting a classic Zach catches Sam when he's making a food run and snaps the bones in Sam's legs while he's driving the Impala, taking out both Dean's brother and his car.

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

Season 9 spoilers below, but nothing unaired.


Ezekiel stretched the truth a little bit when he promised Dean that he'd fix Sam. See, he needed a stronger vessel in order to repair himself, and Sam was exactly that. As long as he was in Sam, he could keep things going, keep his vessel in pretty decent repair. The problem is, Sam can't really be fixed (not even Cas could repair the damage from the Trials, he said so himself). So when Ezekiel finally wears out his welcome, he leaves his vessel behind, and Sam is still dying...

Gen, slash, het, whichever, I am not fussed.

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

Season 7-8

So S7 left off with Sam stranded, alone and panicking, and then we fast-forwarded to everything being fine in S8. I'd like the story of what happened starting from that moment. How did Sam come to hit that dog? Did he have a dissociative fugue? Did something else happen? Sam wouldn't decide not to search for Dean unless he had a damned good reason (even if it's a complex psychological problem that only makes sense to him), and I want to know what it is.

[quickreaver.livejournal.com]

YES YES and YES.

[rokhal.livejournal.com]

Jess was actually Ruby all along.

Sam finds out.

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

Oh, that's just MEAN. ;__;

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

Whoops. Posted from the wrong account. >__<

S9 or future!fic. Way back when, in S7, Castiel said he could "shift" Sam's trouble. He did specify that it was only a temporary fix, and now, well, time's up. Sam's hold on reality starts to slip gradually, and it doesn't seem like there's much to be done about it. I would LOVE it if someone could make this Sam/Cas. Or at least give me some Sam & Cas bonding. :)

[winchesterpooja.livejournal.com]

Sam is cursed by a witch or a whole coven... whatever you'd like. The curse makes him terribly ill, or injured, or just simply puts him in a lot of pain and Dean, of course, goes to find and gank the witch when he can't find a hex bag. The downside? The closer Dean gets to the witch, the worse is Sam's affliction. Basically, as Dean gets closer to the solution, Sam just gets worse (and if he's just hanging in there between life and death for a while, awesome!)

Dean must find a way to pull his brother out of the spell without harming the witch. Castiel can be involved, if the author would like to involve him. If you want to kill anyone, do eet. Major character death isn't a problem.

This can be set in any season, and gen is preferred though if your mind does lure you to Wincest, please keep it um... less smutty? Pretty please?

PS: The prompts in here! Yummy! :D

[winchesterpooja.livejournal.com]

Also, yes, if you decide to involve Cas and put some side Destiel angst, I'll love you.

[winchesterpooja.livejournal.com]

Something/someone has been killing a lot of people in *insert name of place, USA*. There are mysterious deaths and when the brothers go to investigate, the thing is after Sam's life next. And well, Sam gets attacked a few times too. Dean must save and protect his brother, and find out who/what this thing is.

Can be human or monster. Or human monsters like the Benders. Whether Sam is attacked life-threateningly is up to you.

A nice, plotty whodunit mystery would be awesome. Gen please!

[solitarybat.livejournal.com]

Pre-series, gen

Teen-chester Sammy is home alone and abducted by Vampires who break in to the Winchesters current home while John and Dean are on a hunt. The Vampires have been instructed by a Yellow Eyed Man to deliver Sam ,unbitten, to him for a price. Eventually while captured a Vamp eventually bites Sam, or Sam offers his blood to a Vampire as a bribe to escape and said Vampire becomes super strong/powerful because of Sam's blood. Eventually the Y.E.D shows up and reveals this was all a test and kills said Vampire and reveals all to Sam, prior to wiping Sam's memory of the revelation and John and Dean eventually finding a disorientated Sam wandering along a road.
