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.

Sam acquires his own sound-track. The Greatest Hits of the Seventies, Eighties, Nineties, and Today follow him around from the Impala, storefront sound systems, and witnesses' ring tones, pointing out his failures and mocking his pain.

Sam somehow develops a combination of anterograde and retrograde amnesia similar to Clive Wearing (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clive_Wearing). He remembers his childhood and has retained basic hunting skills like the ability to load and fire weapons, etc. And he is surprised and delighted every time he sees Dean--about every 30 seconds.

Aw. The part of being delighted to see Dean is adorable....

Fifth prompt, this should be. Slash or gen or het, no prob.

"Blackbirds frying on a wire
Same birds that followed me to school When I was young
Were they trying to tell me something
Were they telling me to run"

Sam gets better after the Trials, but they leave some damage - his immune system's all a mess, his heart's weak, and he'll never be all the way well again. So he and Dean learn to adapt as much as they can, and then the winter comes and Sam catches a cold the way he always does this time of year.

It can be gen or Sam/Dean, Sam can get really or mildly sick, it can fit in with Season 9 or not, whatever makes you happy!

[madame-naan.livejournal.com]

Gen. Sam's all feverish and having nightmares/hallucinations/panic attacks again after having to go back into Hell for the second trial. Dean comforts him and gets him to sleep.

[sharktheory.livejournal.com]

I don't care about the specific situation. I just want Sam hurting/bleeding/dying in front of Dean, who's bound and helpless to do anything but watch.

[rokhal.livejournal.com]

Sam managed to make some useful contacts while he was soulless--nasty, evil contacts, like drug runners or IRS agents or something, people he'd have to think hard about saving from a wendigo or a poltergeist if he'd been in his right mind.

Now he has his soul and memories back, and he needs to work with them again. But to secure their cooperation, Sam has to prove to them that he's still amoral enough not to turn on them ("If you're so evil, why don't you eat this puppy?!")

Bonus if he passes the puppy-eating test and they turn on him later.

[indiachick.livejournal.com]

Ooooh, yes

S9 minor spoilers...

So when the Chef cut Sam's neck... What if Ezekiel was too worn out to heal him? So basically Sam, bleeding profusely from the neck, and you can tweak it whatever way you want so that Dean comes to the rescue. I don't care of it's GEN or Slash, but Dean's going to have to take him to the hospital before his brother bleeds out...

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

Set in later seasons (anytime from S4 on). Sam gets clobbered by the Nasty-of-the-Week, which gets in a really good blow with its very nasty claws. Still, they've seen worse, the baddie is dead, and a little peroxide and some bandages take care of the problem, right? But no, after a while, Sam is still in pain, and the lacerations are kind of at an awkward angle for him to get at, but he doesn't want to bug Dean about it, either. Not that he's hiding the injury, you understand. That would be stupid. No, no, it's just... Dean's got so much on his plate lately that it feels unfair to dump this on him too. So he tries to take care of it on his own at first, but eventually he realises the wound is likely badly infected were he can't reach, and it's starting to be a real problem. So he swallows his pride and goes to get outside help. Up to you if it's Cas or Bobby or a hospital (outside POV, ftw!). Or maybe Ruby, if S4 speaks to you, or Kevin or Charlie in later seasons. Does Dean find out? Up to you!

Dean was obviously hurt by Sam's clumsy explanation about why he doesn't consider the bunker home. What Sam failed to convey and what Dean doesn't know or understand is that Sam can see how much this place means to Dean, and he doesn't want to ruin it for him. Sam is convinced (and who can blame him?) that he's cursed. The minute he starts thinking of a place as "home," it burns down or everybody he loves dies, or whatever other horrible thing you want to name. The only thing Sam really and truly wants these days is for Dean to be happy and for everyone else to be safe. So if that means pretending the bunker is nothing but an office? So be it. Eventually, the truth comes out, and maybe Dean gets it, and maybe he just thinks Sam is being ridiculous. I am a big fan of semi-delirious confessions, but I figure you can run with this prompt any way you see fit. The possibilities are endless!

After 9.05:

[snickfic]

That is an evil, wonderful prompt.

[quickreaver.livejournal.com]

A demon meat-suits the leader of a snake-handling cult in a dark, reclusive Appalachian valley. Said demon stumbles onto Sam Winchester, sans Dean. Demon decides to have a little fun. Author decides who saves Sam; can be anyone! If he's even 'saved' at all...

[(Anonymous)]

Anything that touches upon Sam realizing Dean is Bobby's favorite, no matter how hard he tries to be better or make him proud. Self-deprecating!Sam is love.

Gen, please.

[madame-naan.livejournal.com]

Sam gets sick, and maybe it's something sudden and scary, or maybe it's after the Trials when things with him and Dean are good again and he doesn't feel like he's letting Dean down if he admits he's struggling, and so he can just be honest about how he feels for once and let Dean take care of him. Gen, Sam/Dean, I don't mind!

[madebyme-x.livejournal.com]

Gen. Set any time (but not season 9).

The world is ending, and this time it has nothing to do with the Winchesters, nor is there anything they can do to stop it.

Dean is determined that they're both going down together; him and Sam with a beer on the hood of the Impala. So no, Sam's not going to bleed out on the side of a road all by himself. That's not happening.

Cue a frantic race against time for Dean to get to Sam before its too late, maybe they're talking on the phone or maybe Dean keeps getting phone messages because Sam's having phone issues. I'd love it if this could have an upbeat or bitter-sweet ending.

[snickfic]

Sam/Amelia. Sam acquires a pretty serious injury, and Amelia fixes it. Bonus points if this injury is from something supernatural, which Amelia finds out about.

[snickfic]

Sam/Amelia. Amelia knows she's a mess, but she's starting to think Sam is even more of a mess. I'd just like to see some effects of all Sam's psychological trauma - the cage, the hallucinations, his period being soulless - coming to fore, and Amelia helping, terrible bedside manner and all.

[snickfic]

RoboSam is seriously injured. It's up to Dean to help him keep it together. This goes well for no one.

Whited-out for possible S9 spoilers:

The brother of a friend of mine last year had something called a spontaneous pneumothorax, meaning, his lung just decided to collapse. Her brother was okay after surgery, thank goodness, and decided to stop smoking to decrease the chance of it happening again. Once it occurs, there is a 50% chance it could happen again. Risk factors her brother and Sam have in common are being of a certain height (like over 6' 3") and thin. A blow to the chest can also increase the chance of this occurring, but even though two weeks before her brother fell off some scaffolding, the doctors had told him that the fall had nothing to do with it. The main factors were his height and thinness (and the smoking). So, with this in mind, I thought a good h/c story would be Sam having this happen at Stanford, without Dean being any the wiser, and then in any season afterwards, it occurring again.

Whited out for s9 spoilers. Gen or pretty much any Sam ship, though I'm not keen on Sam/Gabriel.

[de-nugis.livejournal.com]

gen, or maybe Sam/Cas. Whited for s9 spoilers.

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

Oh my God. OCD!Sam is my favourite!

[de-nugis.livejournal.com]

gen or Sam/Dean

With the MoL library and Sam's interest in it, this fandom needs some book-based horror. A book you can't stop reading, over and over? A book that forces you to act out its story? A book that turns out to be printed with your most secret and horrible and shameful thoughts? A book that every moment tells you what terrible thing is going to happen to you down the road, depending on each minor decision you make? An illuminated manuscript where the little monsters in the margin escape?

Use your imagination. Just Sam, book, bad stuff.

[quickreaver.livejournal.com]

Oooh, the One Book to Rule Them All...

[de-nugis.livejournal.com]

Sam/Kevin or Sam and Kevin.

There's a wardrobe (or similar item) somewhere deep in the bunker, and it doesn't lead to Narnia, or even Oz. Sam and Kevin get trapped in a bad place, Sam's leg is broken, and they have to figure out how to get back home.

Sam and Kevin get trapped in a bad place...
