ohsamThe comm hosted this little event a couple of years ago, and as November 2 is an auspicious day for our darling Sam, today would be the perfect time to revisit this challenge. Welcome to the Triple Play 2015!
BOOST THE SIGNAL
And here's how we play!
Step One (mandatory): 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 3.) a hangover, or 1.) autumn 2.) Rowena 3.) a curse.
Step Two (optional): Participants can choose to 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 choose, and either put the art beneath a cut or supply a link to it, with appropriate header and warnings! (See "Posting Guidelines" in the left sidebar.) As subject lines are no more, please begin your fills with the word FILLED and a TITLE in BOLD.
Step Three (optional): Participants could also choose to write a ficlet, again with Sam as the primary victim of our dastardly h/c scenarios. (No minimum or maximum word count is required; just go where the muse takes you, as long or short as you'd like.) Again, please reply with your fic under the chosen prompt set, using the appropriate header and warnings. (See "Posting Guidelines" in the left sidebar.) 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! The ideal goal is to make a Triple Play, where a prompt set gets both art and fic – the art potentially inspiring the fic or the fic inspiring the art. But no matter how it's sliced, we get lots of delicious Sammy h/c! Have all the 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 us in a PM. We 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!

It's Gotta Be Four in the Morning part 2
Date: 2015-11-09 03:04 am (UTC)Sniffling, Sam stepped forward. “Thandg you, Ellend. I really mbeand it.”
“Yeah, yeah. Just get your ass in here and get out of that rain.” She patted Sam's shoulder as he passed her in the doorway. Once inside, he sneezed again, bending forward so suddenly he only had time to lift his arm and direct his nose at it. Ellen shook her head. “I've got more than one extra cot, if you want to wait out this storm, Dean.”
Anyone with any sense at all would have taken Ellen up on that offer. But Sam wasn't surprised when Dean refused it. “Vamps are a few hours away, and I'm not going to make good time in this storm. I need to get a move on.”
“hahhh-IHKTschxxxxttttt! Heh-hehhh-URKTSchxxshhh!” Both Ellen and Dean stared at Sam, who stood just inside the bar with his mouth open, rocking on the balls of his feet. “hahhh... hahhh... hah-HAH-HahhKTSchxxxxttttttt!” Sam grabbed a few napkins out of a dispenser on a table and blew his nose into the. “Sorry. Excuse mbe. Sor...ry—hah-IHKTSchxxttt!”
Ellen looked back at Dean. “You are coming back for him, right?”
Dean watched Sam cough and snuffle and blow his nose.
“Dean?”
“Yeah, I'll be back.” Dean raised his voice, calling over to Sam. “Get better, kiddo!”
Sam nodded wearily then bunched another handful of napkins to his nose. “hahh-IHPTSchhxxxt!”
“I'll look after him,” Ellen reassured Dean.
Dean nodded in appreciation, then called back over to his brother. “You listen to Ellen, all right, Sammy? You got your knife and some salt?” Sam nodded. “Good. I'll be back as soon as the job's done.”
“Get those... get those vamps.” Sam nodded again before snatching another napkin from the table. “hahh-KTschxxxttt! Huhhh-Hekktschxxxxtttttt!” When he looked up up, Dean was gone and the door was closed.
Ellen locked the door then came over and put a hand on Sam's back, guiding him on. “Come on. Let's get you dried off and into bed.”
Though dabbing at his nose with a napkin, Sam gave her a grateful smile which didn't go away even after he had crawled into bed under layers of blankets. They were the sort of blankets you don't get at cheap motels, the kind normal people have and hold onto for years. And the sheets warmed right up to his body as soon as his head hit the pillow. She dosed him up with some sort of syrup that made him want to close his eyes just two yawns later. Before he did, Ellen forced two big boxes of tissues at him, and he pulled one under the covers with him, dipping one of his hands right in as he wheezed and coughed into the other, held with a fist to his mouth.
“Now you come wake me up if you need anything else,” she told him. “But you're not going to need anything else, are you?”
He shook his head. “This is wondderful. Thandk you. I dow you didnd't have to...”
“Sometimes you don't get to choose your family, and sometimes your family chooses you. And when they show up at your doorstep at four in the morning, all sick and pathetic, you just feel glad it's because of a cold and not a gunshot to the gut or a pair of fang marks. Now get some sleep, Sam.”
With only a brief thought of his brother, out there driving in the rain on his way to a solo hunt, Sam fell asleep.

Date: 2015-11-12 02:02 am (UTC)The observation about the "normal" blankets really got to me. Poor Sammy. And the being thankful it's not a gunshot, etc, so sad.
Not all sad though. I LOL'd at Dean briefly pretending he might not come back for his germy kid brother.
I think my favorite bit was Dean presenting sick Sam to Ellen all like "see how sick he is! Isn't he so pathetic you can't help yourself? Here, I'll give you more reasons to take him. C'mon Sammy, show her how sick you are!" He's almost proud of Sammy's powers to look like a lost, wet puppy, at least in my head. I love it!
