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.

Bobby watches the boys from his desk. One eye on the book in front of him, the other on the kids curled up on his couch. Little Sammy has a thumb stuck in his mouth and it makes him look three years old rather than seven. His eyes are wide and bright in the television screen's glow, and he's latched onto his brother like a limpet.

"Maybe Sam should go to bed," Bobby suggests. Someone on the TV screams and Sam flinches, tucking his head under Dean's arm.

"Not fair, uncle Bobby!" Sam protests, voice muffled by Dean's shirt. "I'm not scared, I promise."

"Right," Bobby chortles. "You just stuck your face in Dean's armpit because the view was better?"

Dean laughs and pats the top of Sam's curly head. "Go to bed, squirt. I'll come up when the movie's over."

Sam pops his head out from his hiding place. "But you have to take me upstairs. The light's in the hallway and it'll be dark all the way up the stairs before I can turn it on."

Dean raises an eyebrow. "I thought your weren't scared."

Sam crosses his arms over his chest. "I'm not."

Another bloodcurdling shriek sounds from the television set and Sam is off the couch and hurtling behind the desk in a second. He grabs Bobby's sleeve.

"Will you tuck me in, uncle Bobby?" he whispers. He glances to check if Dean's listening, but his brother is too busy watching the movie. "And can you wait until I fall asleep?"

Bobby glances at the enormous pile of work he hasn't finished, then he looks at Sam Winchester's doe-eyes. There isn't really much choice. He takes Sam's small hand in his and leads him out of the room.

"I'm taking Sam to bed," he tells Dean. Dean nods, eyes still on the TV.

Sam clings the back of Bobby's shirt and sticks close to his heels all the way up the dark staircase. The kid lets out a breath when the upstairs hallway light is flicked on.

"Brush your teeth and get into your PJs," Bobby tells him, nudging the boy into the bathroom. "You got any story books?"

Sam shakes his head sadly. "Dad says there's not enough room in the car," he says. Bobby clenches his jaw and adds 'smack some sense into John Winchester' to his to-do list. He puts on a smile for Sam. "I'll tell you a story anyway, I've got a lot stored away in my noggin, you see."

Sam grins, flashing the gap where his front two teeth should be. He hurries off into the bathroom and Bobby waits in the spare room next to Sam's bed. There's a tiny, red plastic Power Ranger on the pillow that has the Mcdonald's logo printed onto its back. One of the arms is missing, it's suit is faded to pink in some areas. Bobby adds 'buy boys some toys for when they visit' to his to-do list.

Sam comes rushing back in the room, trying to escape the now-dark bathroom. He's in a race getting changed into his pyjamas: a t-shirt made for a grown adult with a diner logo on the front. He hops up into bed and Bobby tucks the covers around him.

"What kind of story do you want?" he asks.

Sam shrugs, fiddling with the Power Ranger's remaining arm. He glances up shyly. "Uncle Bobby, are you really smart?"

Bobby chuckles. "I think I've got some smarts, just enough to get the job done."

Sam looks down at his red Power Ranger. "Can I ask you a question?" he asks.

Bobby nods.

"In that movie, everyone was chasing the monster," Sam says. "They wanted to hurt it."

"Well, the monster did a lot of bad," Bobby explains. "It was chasing those people first, so the people were just defending themselves."

"But why did the monster do bad stuff?" Sam asks.

"That's what monsters do," Bobby says.

Sam frowns. "How did it become a monster? Was it always like that?"

"It's just a movie. It's not real, Sam," Bobby lies.

"Sometimes I feel like I'm bad," Sam admits. "Dean likes Batman and King Arthur and, and I like 'em, too. But I don't think I'd be allowed to go on a quest like them, not like Dean."

"Why's that?" Bobby asks, frowning.

"You have to be good and pure to go on a quest like that," Sam tells him. "That's what the stories say. I'm... "

"You're what, Sam?"

Sam shrugs. "Dirty."

Bobby just about stops breathing. In his head, he's cursing John Winchester. He curses the whole goddamned messed up world for putting thoughts like this in a seven-year-old boy's head.

"Listen here, Sam," Bobby says, leaning forward to try to get Sam to look at him. "You are good, you hear? You've never done a bad thing. You aren't bad. You aren't dirty. Where in the hell did you get that idea, anyway?"

Sam is avoiding looking at Bobby and he curls up under the blanket until only the top of his head is sticking out. "I don't know. I just know it."

He closes his eyes and Bobby suspects the conversation is over, for now. Honestly, Bobby never had to deal with children very often before he met John Winchester. He's out of his depth most of the time, never mind something like this. He strokes the top of Sam's head, brushes the fine, soft curls and he says good night.

He adds 'help Sam' to the top of his to-do list.

How dare you.

I mean, this is awesome, but how dare you.

<3

Thank you! :)

Oh, this is hard-hitting, and such a punch to the feels!! Seeing poor Sam struggling with this feeling as a child, and I loved how you linked this to Sam's speech back from the Trials too.

Perfectly painful in every way! Thank you for sharing :)

Thank you! I'm glad you liked it :)

Oh. OH.

This was so good and heartbreaking. Thank you! <3

I'm glad you liked it, thank you! :)

Oh this is perfect. Wee!sam with all his questions and Bobby being supportive is one of my favorite things.

wee!Sammy is my fave thing to write in fanfic because he's just. so. cute. And Bobby, ugh, I miss him and I wish we'd had more scenes of him and Sam on the show. Thank you for reading! :)

Awww, dammit. I'm not getting teary, YOU'RE getting teary.

I'm not teary, it's just... I'm chopping onions... or I've got hay fever. But I am certainly not teary!!
Thanks for reading! :)

Aw. Sam. This hurts so much but also Bobby is so awesome. His voice is fantastic running through the story. Really swell.

Thank you so much! :)

This was absolutely perfect! I am not sure you are getting my reviews on FF.. but great stories (Idreamofivan)

Thank you!
I think there's a glitch on the FFn website because reviews aren't showing up and I can't reply to them. I am getting them as emails though, so I have read them all, I just can't reply (also I can't reply to you on FFn when you review anonymously) I'm glad you're enjoying the fics :)
