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.

She's alone when she gets the call, as she is often these days in her empty house with its empty rooms. She doesn't often get a call to her personal cell, whereas her work phone is overloaded with messages.

She almost doesn't answer. She's not sure if she wants to get involved in whatever it is that waits for her on the other end of the line. In the end, she picks it up. Something tells her it's urgent.

She learns that two states away in a mental hospital, Sam Winchester is kept on a locked ward. She also learns that she is his next of kin. She calls work and tells them she won't be in tomorrow, then she climbs in her truck and starts driving.

"Found wandering the streets," the doctor tells her. "He was dehydrated, hadn't eaten in a while. Someone called the cops because he'd cut himself, smeared his blood all over the place. He's clearly delusional, hallucinating. Sam was admitted a few months ago to a Northern Indiana state hospital. Do you know why he was released early, Miss Mills?"

Jody doesn't have an answer. She doesn't really know. She barely knows a thing about Sam. Never knew he'd been hospitalised before. All the while, she wonders where Dean is.

"Was there anyone else listed as next of kin?" she asks.

The doctor checks the file. "There's a brother listed here, Dean Smith, but we've failed to get into contact with him. You were the second person listed. What is your relation to the patient?"

"Um. I'm his aunt," Jody says without thinking. "Can I see him?"

The doctor nods, holds the door open for her on their way out of his office. The door to the locked ward is giant and heavy and it makes an awful grating buzz when it opens. Everything is uniform and dull white. The lights are yellow and sickly.

Sam Winchester is dressed in the same costume as the rest of the place: off-white clothes, soft shoes, plastic wrist band, bandaged palms. He's sitting on the edge of the bed, knuckles to his forehead. The man who shot her son.

"Sam?" the doctor says. "Your aunt is here."

Sam looks up, confused. When he notices Jody his eyes widen and he gets to his feet, slow and deliberate like he's aching all over.

"I'll give you both a minute," says the doctor. He leaves the door open an inch behind him. Jody turns to Sam.

"What happened? Are you okay?"

Sam shakes his head, smiles grimly. "I got into a mess, huh? I was - I was working a job. I don't know what happened. Someone saw something they shouldn't have seen, you know? Thought I was crazy, locked me up here."

Jody stares at him. His hair is longer than she remembers and he has stubble around his jaw that looks maybe two weeks old. "Is that all that happened?" she asks. "Where's Dean?"

Sam flinches. The smallest tick of his shoulders.

"Dean..." he says. He clenches his eyes closed, rubs his cheek. "That's all that happened. Dean's here. He's coming back. He won't be gone for long."

Jody hesitantly reaches out and places her hand on his arm. He seems to relax a little under her touch, she guides him back to the bed and pushes him down to sit.

"Dean's in the hospital?" she asks.

Sam shakes his head, frustrated. "He was - he's here. He's somewhere. He wouldn't leave me. I just have to find him and... and I was so close before they stopped me. You have to get me out of here, Jody. They think I'm crazy."

"Okay," Jody says softly. "If you tell me where Dean is, I'll find him for you. The doctor said they couldn't get in contact with him. Where did you last see him?"

"SucroCorp," Sam whispers, staring at the door. "We have to go."

"SucroCorp?" Jody repeats. She saw it on the news, how Dick Roman just vanished into thin air, how the company fell to pieces so suddenly. The media called it a mystery, but Jody knew the truth about the Leviathans. She'd always suspected the Winchesters were involved with what happened at SucroCorp. But that happened three weeks ago. If that was the last place Sam saw his brother...

"Sam, how long have you been on your own?" she asks.

"I'm not on my own," Sam denies. "Dean's coming back. Cas, too. I just need to find them."

She's stroking his head and she doesn't remember forming the thought to do it. She used to do this with Owen to calm him down when he got upset. She did it a lot when Owen got sick, she remembers how frail he was, how scared he was. Sam doesn't seem to mind it, he's too busy bouncing his legs and staring at the door.

She can see a little bit of blood seeping the his bandaged palms. Long slices he'd made himself. She can see how sick he is.

"Okay. Okay, Sam," she says. "We'll find Dean. You just need to rest a bit. I can see how tired you are."

Sam looks at her. "I am... I just. Dean's coming back soon."

"I'll keep an eye out for him," she promises. "I'll wake you up if he gets here while you're sleeping."

Sam hesitates for a moment, eyes on the door, then he lies down. "We have to find him, Jody. He's coming back. He will. He didn't leave me. Why does everyone leave? Looks like you are well and truly on your own."

"You're not on your own, Sam," she says. "I'm here."

She knows. She just knows that Dean is dead. Whatever happened, it was something awful.

Jody finds a spare blanket in the bedside cupboard and she drapes it over him.

"I'm here," she promises Sam. "I'm not leaving you."

{sob}

I'm so sorry! haha

but thanks for reading :)

"I'm not leaving you." I'm not crying. Okay, maybe a little. What an amazing fill! Jody stepping right in and being an amazing caregiver to Sam is everything. (You may also be feeding my headcanon about Sam's breakdown after S7, but that's a whole other thing.)

Sorry, I wasn't signed in. It's me!

That's fine haha
I need more scenes with Sam and Jody on the show pls. And I believe Sam totally did have a breakdown post s7 but nowhere near as extreme as this.
Thanks for a great prompt, and I'm glad you liked it!

Oh, I love this so much.

Thank you! :)

This is great! And the idea that Sam had a breakdown and was convinced by...someone...that Dean was dead and he had to leave it alone for his own sanity, is so very believable.

Thank you! :)

I love the interactions between Jody and Sam. And to set this the beginning of Season 8?? Absolute perfection. Srsly. *hearts*

I think it's a very possible route Sam could have gone down post season 7. He had just been in a mental hospital not much earlier and even if Cas took some of his Hell pain, Sam was still mentally unwell (in my mind, anyway) and something like Dean vanishing could be a major trigger for Sam.
I'm glad you enjoyed it! Sam and Jody have one of my fave relationships in the show and I need to see more of it!!

aw man it hurts but it's so good !! I love the relationship you've captured between Jody and Sam, that "I'm not leaving you" at the end 😭

Thank you! The 'I'm not leaving you' was sort of a reference to Dean, I suppose. Kind of like the supportive role in Sam's life being passed on to Jody, does that make sense? Anyway, I'm glad you liked it :)

I loved every word of this!! I love seeing the interactions between Sam and Jody, especially her mothering instinct. And how prefect is it that set this up between the end of season 7 and the start of 8 - perfect, absolutely perfect!!!

So sombre and bittersweet and devastating - I love it! Thank you :)

Thank you so much! :))

Oh my goodness.. this was so sad and awesome at the same time. I love Jody but this was a whole new level of awesomeness.. even for her. This would have been so perfect for the show! (Idreamofivan)

Thank you! Jody is probably my favourite female character who's currently on the show and I would love to see more of her :)

He gets to his feet, slow and deliberate like he's aching all over.
Oh, Sammy.
And Jody, mothering him through her own grief.
I'm not crying, you're crying. *Huffs*
