ohsam | OhSam Triple Play 2016!

It's November 2, an auspicious (if ominous) day for our darling Sam, so to herald his introduction to The Red Stuff, let's revisit an annual tradition. Welcome to the OhSam Triple Play 2016! This year, we're offering a focus on a reoccurring theme in Sam's life: blood.

"Blood" could be interpreted in many ways. Family don't end with blood. The demon blood addiction. Injury. Familial woes. Blood magicks. Simply the color red. If it can be related to blood, even vaguely? IT'S ON POINT.

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.) West Virginia 2.) Dean 3.) knives, or 1.) Bobby's Panic Room 2.) Mary 3.) demon blood withdrawal.

Step Two (optional): Fill a prompt!
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): Fill a prompt!
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!

You're killing me with this!!!! ♥

And you only have yourself to blame... *nods wisely*

I love your art so much!

Thanks so much! :D

amberdreams I hope this lives up to the awesome piece of art you did! I also saw it more as autumn leaves as well . . . this is a new type of style for me so I hope you guys all enjoy it!

The falling leaves drift by my window . . .

Marie, you asked me how the series ends?

That's a good question. How does it end? How does the tale of two brothers who overcome incredible odds finish? Maybe on a hunt gone wrong? Perhaps, a rogue angel or a vengeful demon? Hell, maybe even a person from their past shows up to finish them off. They've pissed off a lot of people as they've gone through life, after all.

But that's not how their story ends. A story never ends the way you would expect.

You see, Sam gets sick. Real sick. He goes to doctors, specialists, even Castiel comes, but nothing can heal him. There are no "viable treatment options". It's terminal. But you know how Dean is, right? You've read my books, so you know, Dean doesn't give up. He keeps searching for some sort of cure, something, anything to keep his baby brother alive.

Only, nothing works.

Weeks go by. Sam's getting weaker. He has to take a plethora of medicine just to make sure he stays alive through the day and he's getting tired. He doesn't want this life. He doesn't want to be a burden on Dean. They argue and I don't really need to cover that, do I? You can guess how it went down.

Anyways.

Sam and Dean get into their baby, travel down an empty highway, speakers blasting Black Sabbath. They drive for hours, talking about their lives, about their crazy misadventures. You get the picture.

Then, they stop.

A field of wildflowers spreads out for as far as the eye can see. Red and golden flowers everywhere. They're so bright and so big that they look like autumn leaves. It's a beautiful, humbling sight. It's one they saved from the Apocalypse, one that they both gave up their lives to protect for other people to find later on. People like you, Marie. It's a sight people drive by without even glancing at. But for them . . . it was a sign of victory.

They sit on the hood of the Impala, have two beers, watch the stars, like they've done so many times before. They tease each other, they laugh, they cry. Chick flick moments occur.

You see . . . they're brothers. Nothing has ever changed that bond between them. Not when Sam was addicted to demon blood or Dean became a demon. They've always been brothers. Not even Death himself could sever them.

You wanted to know how it ends?

Together, side by side, in a field of wildflowers that's how their story ends.

Or at least, that's how I'm telling it.

But I miss you most of all, my darling, when autumn leaves start to fall . . .

*SNIFFLE*

Love this!

Perfect!!!! I love the storytelling style, and the feel of the words, and the emotion they carry! Beautifully done. Thank you so very much for filling this with so much heart! Take care :)

Excuse me, I'll just be over here sobbing in the corner. This was beautiful.

Aaaaaaah, perfect!

And after I've stopped sniffling, I'm going to go round and slap Chuck round the head. Don't think I've forgotten he's God and could have seen our boys good.
