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!

"Yeah."
"Where's Sam? He's not answering his phone."
"I'm great, thanks, how are you?"
"Dammit, Kevin." Dean's sigh sounds more worried than angry, and Kevin feels a sudden surge of guilt. "I'm sorry. It's just that he hasn't been answering for an hour, and he's still kind of messed up after the trials, and I just... can you please just check on him?"
"Fine, yeah. I'm on it. I'll call you back." Kevin pockets his phone and pads up the cold hallway to Sam's room, thinking unkind thoughts about giant grown men who are capable of killing monsters and yet need the resident teenager to keep to keep an eye on them, and about brothers who are so obsessively worried about those giant grown men and yet leave them behind instead of dragging their giant grown asses with them, and by the time he gets to Sam's room, he's annoyed again.
But Sam's room is empty. And so is the library, and the kitchen, and every other room Sam might conceivably hang out in, and the closer he gets to the garage, the more Kevin notices how freaking cold it is in here. When he gets to the reinforced steel door separating the garage from the bunker, he sees that it's hanging open, and the garage door itself is also open, revealing a cold grey sky, flurries of snow swirling in the dim late afternoon light, and no sign of Sam Winchester... except for a set of bloody footprints leading up the hill outside the garage.
Shit.
On further inspection, it looks like someone - and it has to be Sam, by the size of the feet - walked across the tire-puncturing grate that the Men of Letters apparently set up to keep anyone from stealing their car collection. And then kept walking, on bare bloody feet, right outside into the snow.
Shit.
Kevin pulls on his coat and gloves and sets out up the tree-covered hill, tracing the path of bloody footsteps. It looks like Sam wasn't watching where he was going. Kevin finds himself diverting right and left to avoid overhanging branches, but Sam seems to have walked straight through them. The trail is strewn with rocks and sticks and any number of sharp things that aren't insulated by the thin layer of snow, and the blood left in each print gets heavier and heavier, and Kevin's becoming pretty concerned about what exactly he will find at the end of the gory trail.
When he finally does top the hill he sees Sam standing in a clearing, but the sight doesn't reassure him as much as it should. He's facing Kevin, but doesn't seen to see him; he's gazing off into the distance as if he can't get enough of the featureless Kansas landscape. He is wearing nothing but a pair of worn jeans, and Kevin is shocked to see how much weight he lost during the trials. His skin is pale save for red stripes whipped by tree branches, stretched too tightly across prominent bones. It's been months since that day the Winchesters came back to the bunker and told him they'd failed to close the gates of Hell, but now Kevin sees why Dean keeps attempting to coddle his little brother, why he's so concerned about his health and welfare. But Sam stands tall, pulled to his full height with his shoulders held back, as if the frigid temperature, the cold wind ruffling his hair, the bloodied torso and lacerated feet aren't bothering him at all.
Filled: Here I go, turn the page (2/2)
And Kevin's a little bit afraid of him.
"Sam?" he says.
Sam's eyes turn to him and pierce through him coldly. Kevin's heart pounds with a rush of adrenaline and he thinks, if this were anyone else but Sam, that he would be halfway back down the hill by now. That maybe he should go ahead and start running. Then there's a flash of recognition and Sam seems to retract back into Sam. He frowns, shakes his head, and looks down on himself in dismay.
"Oh, no," he breathes. "No, no, not again." He wraps his arms around himself, as if just now noticing the cold. "Kevin? What... how long... what are we... what am I doing out here?"
"I don't know, man." Kevin slips off his coat and puts it around Sam's shoulders. "You mean you don't know either?"
Sam wraps the coat around his body as well as he can. "Fuck," he mutters through chattering teeth. "I don't know. I don't know. I'm losing time. I just... I was in the bunker, getting dressed, and now I wake up and I'm out here."
"And this has happened before? Does Dean know about it?"
Sam's eyes widen. "No. Don't tell him. Please, Kevin, don't tell him."
"Jesus, Sam. You gotta let him know."
"No, I don't. He's already freaked out enough. Please, Kevin. Not yet."
"Well, maybe he needs to be freaked out some more. Because this is messed up, Sam. He's been calling you for an hour. You've been out here for at least an hour." He points Sam back down the hill. "You need to tell him."
"I will. I swear. Just not right now."
Sam stumbles on his bloody feet as he slowly, carefully picks his way back down the hill. Kevin keeps a hand latched onto his coat in case Sam falls, although there's probably nothing he could do anyway. The long-sleeved t-shirt he's left with does very little against the cold wind, and he tries to suppress a shiver. Sam stops and starts to pull the coat off. "Hey, you need this back. I'm fine."
"Dude, no," says Kevin. "You need it more than I do. You're a freaking icicle."
They're quiet for several minutes as they inch their way closer to the warmth of the bunker. Sam clears his throat, then quietly says "I'm sorry, Kevin."
"No, man, it's fine. I'm fine. We're almost there."
"No, I mean. I'm sorry. I'm sorry about everything. I'm sorry I didn't close Hell. I'm sorry about your mom. I'm sorry we couldn't protect you better. I'm sorry everything is so fucked up. I'm just sorry."
"Really, Sam, it's okay." And right now he means it. Tomorrow he'll probably be annoyed as hell at both Winchester brothers, but right now he feels almost overwhelmed by sorrow and sympathy and wishes desperately there were something he could do about it.
By the time they get back to the bunker, Sam's outgoing footprints have been covered by a dusting of snow. Within an hour there won't be any evidence that anything happened. And Kevin is fairly sure Sam will conveniently forget to mention it to Dean.
"Are you gonna be okay?" he asks, as Sam peels his coat off and hands it back to him.
Sam looks at his own feet and smiles. "Yeah, I'm fine. Thank you, Kevin. Really, I'm fine."
As Kevin watches him retreat into the heart of the bunker, he thinks No. You're really not.

This is very art-worthy, if I could draw , I'd have drawn Sam standing in the snow, bare-torsoed, Gadreel looking through his eyes. But alas.
Thanks for the lovely (and hurty) imagery!

Pitiful, in one way, but infuriating in another, because what is he doing to Sam? Look what he's doing to Sam!!
Good, good stuff. :)
Re: Filled: Here I go, turn the page (2/2)
I really love fics that deal with this time period, with everything about it all. With Dean's conflicted conscience, with Gadreel's hunger for freedom, with Sam's painful fear that once again, there's Something Wrong With Him™. I know a lot of Sam fans were infuriated, and I certainly don't think Show dealt with it in the best way it could've, but hey, that's why we do what we do in fandom!
