ohsamAlright, everyone, it’s nearly Valentine’s Day! You know what this means? It’s the perfect opportunity to show our love for our favorite Winchester by doing what we do best – hurting him, maiming him, making him sick, putting him through emotional torture. Y’know, the usual.
Welcome to ohsam’s “You Only Hurt the One You Love” meme!
BOOST THE SIGNAL
The rules are simple:
1.) Post a one-word or one-phrase prompt in the comments ("blurred vision", "blue", "summer", "nervous", etc…). You can post as many prompts as you like, but please keep them to one prompt per comment. We’ll try to keep the masterlist of prompts/fills as current as possible so you can see which words have already been prompted. Prompting will stay open until February 22nd, but you can start filling them as soon as you want.
2.) Write an h/c-related, Sam-centric fill for the prompt. Multiple people can write for the same prompt – just make sure it’s left as a separate comment on the original prompt. Drabbles are awesome, but if you feel like writing something longer, feel free! Reply to the comment to post your fic, but please link to your journal if your fill ends up running longer than a few comments. Please begin your fics with the header Filled: and the title. Please include any ratings or relevant warnings after the title, as well.
3.) Art is welcome, too! If you’d like to fill a prompt with a piece of art instead of a fic, please leave a thumbnail/link to it in the comments.
All the usual rules apply:
• If your prompt or your fill is not on the masterlist after a few days, please poke one of the mods in a PM, and we’ll fix that.
• Anon posting enabled.
• No spoilers for unaired episodes.
• Play nice – no flaming, no bashing, no fighting. Any comments that break this rule will be deleted.
• Feedback is love!
• No spam. (See above re: deleting.)
• Contact a mod if you have a question.
• Share this meme, and have a great time!
EDIT: We've gotten a ton of great prompts so far. Thanks, everybody! Keep it up! However, given the fact that our list is getting longer and we've had a few duplicate prompts, we've also added the masterlist of prompts in alphabetical order so it's easier to look through (see below). Try to make sure your prompt hasn't already been posted before you add it. Any questions, ask a mod. Thanks!
EDIT (2/24/16): Hey, everyone. Prompting has officially closed, but that doesn't mean the meme is over! Please continue posting your fics and filling as many of these wonderful prompts as you'd like. It's been great so far, and we're looking forward to many more awesome fics from you all!

FILLED: Where Your Treasure Is (2/3)
Date: 2016-02-13 10:19 pm (UTC)He’s sucking in these awful short gasps and clutching at his chest with one hand, the other grabbing at Dean’s shoulder.
“Sam, what’s wrong? What about your chest?” Dean asks in a panic.
His hand comes up to cradle Sam’s cheek, the unnatural coolness against his palm, before sliding down to Sam’s neck to find his pulse. It takes a second but when he finds it it’s racing. It feels like a goddamn racehorse against the pads of his fingers. Dean doesn’t know the numbers but he knows nobody’s pulse should be that fast, and God, what the hell is happening, where the fuck did this come from?
“Guh- Dean-“
“Okay, Sam, okay,” Dean breathes, trying to get his composure back. Help Sam. Help Sam.
Dean rearranges them with some difficulty so he can get his arm around Sam’s torso. He starts hauling them up, but before he can get them standing up, Sam sags heavily against him.
“Sam?” Dean demands, panic coloring his tone. “Sam!”
No response. Just that awful wheezing and, as Dean confirms when he slides his hand up to Sam’s neck again, the same rapid-fire pulse. Not dead, then, at least, he thinks a little maniacally.
It’s a battle to drag his unconscious brother the hundred yards or so back to the Impala. Dean curses their decision to park farther away under his breath the whole time, interspersed with the occasional question to see if Sam regained consciousness at any point. Kind of a fool’s hope, but Dean’s in the dark here.
He has no clue what’s wrong with Sam. That terrifies him more than anything. If he knows why Sam’s hurt or sick, he can fix it. This - this is a mystery.
—
“Mr. Slade?”
Dean jolts, head rising from his hands at the sound of the approaching doctor. “Yeah, that’s me. Sam - is he-“
“Sam is going to be fine,” the doctor says gently.
For a second Dean can’t breathe out of relief, one hand coming up to rub at his cheek. “Thank you,” he whispers. Then, louder: “What the hell was wrong with him?”
The doctor glances down at his clipboard. “It seems Sam was suffering from a condition called tachycardia. Do you know what that is?”
“Cardia - that means your heart, right?”
“It does. Tachycardia specifically means a rapid heartbeat. In some cases, it’s relatively dormant; it’s possible someone could go their whole life without seeing a single symptom. Other times - like your brother’s case - it can cause serious problems. That’s what happened here. From what you’ve told us, it sounds like a particularly bad flare-up. An episode, if you will.”
“So the paleness, the racehorse heartbeat, the passing out - it was just an episode?”
“Of sorts. It’s also possible that it could’ve been a mild heart attack.”
Dean gapes for a second. “Sammy had a stroke?”
“No. A stroke occurs in the brain, while a heart attack occurs - well, in the heart. Tachycardia can increase the risk of heart attacks.”
Dean rubs at his forehead for a second, trying to process everything. “Okay,” he says. “Okay. Can I just - can I just see Sam?”
“Of course. Follow me.”
Sam’s long frame is still in the hospital bed and he’s hooked up to at least six different machines, but he’s got his color back and thank God, there’s no ventilator. There’s an oxygen mask over his mouth, but the doctor assures him that while Sam can breathe on his own, the mask will help while Sam’s heart recovers. Dean can work with this.
FILLED: Where Your Treasure Is (3/3)
Date: 2016-02-13 10:19 pm (UTC)Dean’s eyes are glued on Sam’s chest, the rhythmic rise and fall soothing his frayed nerves. “So, uh. What do we do now?”
“I’d like to keep him overnight for observation, but I’m not particularly concerned about a relapse or another attack. I also want to put him on a couple anti-arrythmics, which will help regulate his heartbeat. Anti-coagulants, too. But rest will be key over the next few days. The less strain put on his heart, the better.”
“No wheelchair races, then?” Dean jokes weakly, relaxing at the sight of Sam alive and breathing next to him and the idea of a plan.
The doctor smiles. “Not for a while. I would advise avoiding exercise for the immediate future.”
No hunting, Dean translates mentally. “Will do.”
The doctor nods and glances at his watch. “If you’ll excuse me, I have to get to my other patients. Let me know if you have any more questions.”
Dean nods back and thanks him as he leaves. He turns back to Sam, left hand covering his brother’s right one. “Hear that, Sam? You’re gonna be fine.”
And with that, Dean settles down to wait.

Sam takes his sweet time waking up. It’s 2 PM the next day when Sam’s hand shifts under Dean’s, his eyes starting to move around under the lids.
“Sammy?” Dean asks hopefully. “Sam, you awake in there?”
“Mhmm,” Sam slurs. His eyes slowly flicker open, moving around the room before stopping on Dean. His hands finds their way up to his face, prying off the oxygen mask. “Dean?”
Dean feels a grin break out on his face. “Yeah, Sammy, it’s me. How ya feeling?”
“Like a tow truck ran over my chest,” he mumbles, words still slightly slurred. “What…”
“Happened? You had a fuckin’ heart attack, Sam. Way to scare the shit outta me.”
Sam’s eyebrows raise. “A heart attack?”
“Well, that’s what the doctor thinks. Either that or a -get this- a ‘tachycardic episode’.”
“Tachycardia?” Sam asks. “Shit.”
“You know what that is?” Dean asks, only slightly surprised. Friggin’ nerd.
“Well, cardi-whatever is your heart, right?”
“Yeah. Apparently your heart was beating too fuckin’ fast or something, so you keeled over while we were digging up Mr. Frederickson in the graveyard.”
Sam blinks. “Oh.”
“Yeah, oh. You’re on, like, ten different drugs now to fix your heart.”
Sam blinks again, longer this time as whatever drugs he’d been given no doubt kick in again. “Did we… get the ghost?”
“No,” Dean admits. “But we can go back later to burn the bones, when you’re not weak as a kitten and fainting like a girl anymore.”
“Screw you,” Sam says around a yawn. Dean smiles.
“Now that’s not very nice, Sammy. All I’m trying to do is help you. You could even say you’re being pretty… heartless.”
“That was lame, Dean. Even for you.”
“What, you don’t wanna talk about it? Have a nice little heart-to-heart?”
“Christ, please shut up.”
