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!

FILLED: बिन्द
Characters:Sam, Dean, Cas, Rowena
Warnings: witchery and liberties

There's an old ash, lightning-split, on the lot of the Woodland. Other than that the road, blue rooms--

the forest they fell out of. This bed.

"Just have to wait it out, Sammy, " Dean says. Lifts the second blanket and drapes it. Reaches for Sam's shoulder and--

"God," Sam groans. In an hour the clavicle-cracking might start. It's worse than withdrawal.

"Just--" Dean says, goes for the cup of water. No tea. Too worried to leave. Salt the door, crack it. Go out into rain for aids not herbs or sacraments.

"Drink," Dean says.

*
Yaksha, they thought, but it was different, devouring bits of leaf as it went. Maybe not yaksha at all.

Maybe it was harmless unless you weren't human, unless there was some anti-body it might eat-- and it crept into lymphatics quiet; chose chills, sent them flowering out, malarial, into the boy who might have been king.

"Think I got the flu, " Sam said, after they chased it, after they hit the slush-road and crashed, spoke quiet in the lamplight like it was the eighties, and they were then: boys.

Dean looked him over: wet hair, drawn mouth. Faint flush.

"Got a fever?"

"Probably."

Sam wouldn't let his brother touch him. Just wanted to sleep.

Woke up wracked, writhing, needing to be wrapped.

*

"I don't know," Dean says on the phone, "he was fine 'til we tried to gank the thing."

He listens, tapping.

"Yeah, I'm sure, but--hang on." Dean's hands land, hold Sam through a shake that's more like a seize, yank the blankets back up again.

*

In the mountains to the south of them, spirit-ill might flash through a church like fire, decimate. But that was revelations. That was god-talk. This was something else, for once. Dean looks out, pulls curtains on the sight, listens to the creep and click of the place, prays.

Cas steeples his fingers over Sam. Watches him stiffen. Sighs.

"Rowena," he says.

*

The lot spits her wet and vexed onto their threshold.

"What can't the Winchesters fix this--" Her skin-licked bag hits the floor. "Oh. Samuel."

"Yeah," Dean says, "Cas can't help, and he thinks--"

"Oh, I can--but will I." Her lashes. Dean snakes out an arm and hooks her, jerks her bedside
and watches her brace for offense. Lets her touch Sam with his palm hovered over.

"Boy," Rowena says to his sleeping brother, "the nature-spirits like you, maybe a little too much.
Forest-bhuta won't eat you if you treat them right. But when did you two ever respect--"

Sam's spine goes long, shorts again, snaps to. His ribs fan flat and he gasps:

"Dean--"

Dean constricts their witch, tilts her to her tools.

"Fix him."

*
Outside it's all eaten leaves, wind, road rolling into the distance. Dark hills not far off, and mountains to the south.

Sam stiffens.

Rowena circles and casts. Opens the skin-bag and draws his blood, slow, from a shaken vein.
Crushes the herb and calls for fire. Sketches: बिन्द. Calls for fire. Lets her eyes roll and her wrists lift until
Sam goes green as a grove and spills from his eyes and trails down his cheeks and splits--vines; a cyclone, fork-split heat.

*

They were children once, and now they've spoken to god.

Not this time. Just the blue room; creakings, knockings, hex-haunt and fizzled fire.

"Hex hangover, " Dean mutters, shakes his brother. "Sam?"

Dean unwraps him slow. Puts a hand out to help.

"Dean?" Sam says, "I dreamed--"

Stands up tall as a tree.

Okay, hi Hindi title and bhutas! I got a little thrill from just that <3

Woke up wracked, writhing, needing to be wrapped. and The lot spits her wet and vexed onto their threshold.: very cool lines!

Took a few liberties with the ghosts and nature spirits, I'm afraid. ( : But I'm so glad you enjoyed.

Ohhhh, I loved what you did with the prompt here, and the rhythm in your words in just wonderful! Thank you for sharing :)

Aw <3!

I loved this one, such a lot in so little and the visuals were amazing. This line in particular:

Sam's spine goes long, shorts again, snaps to. His ribs fan flat and he gasps

I could just see the movement. Brilliant.

Aw, thank you! So glad you liked this.

Oh wow, that was really cool! Such evocative language and imagery.

I'm not a literary scholar or anything, so I had to read it a couple times to make sure I got a decent handle on it, but it was so worth the re-reads. I just read it again and it just keeps getting better.

I loved this line in particular:
"Woke up wracked, writhing, needing to be wrapped"

Thanks for filling my prompt!
