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 fine. You're absolutely fine.

-Sam keeps telling himself. And he seems fine - as fine as can be the man who survived the endless torture for millenia by the hands of the cruelest creature in the world and just learned that this creature posessed his best friend. And shoved its hand into his very soul. And threatened to kill his brother.
So yes, he's perfectly fine.
Sam leaves his brother on the pier because he doesn't want to burden Dean with his hurting feelings and stupid worries. It doesn't matter. He doesn't matter. He never did.
They have God's Friggin' Sister to kill and God's Friggin' Favourite Son to lock up into the Cage. They have no time to deal with Sam's whining and self-pitying.
Because he has to be useful. Not worthless and weak but useful.
So he collects bits and pieces of himself in one piece with duct tape and safety pins and starts researching. Sam looks for every protection and purification sigil in the Men of Letters' library. When Dean comes back and asks "What are doing?" he answers simply "Researching" and can someone say that he's lying? Dean nods slowly, pointing something out for himself, and heads off the library. Sam stays for the night. He doesn't want to sleep, not really, he only wants to do what he have to: to protect Dean and Cas and others from his mistakes.

He blinks rapidly when milky-white mist clouds his eyesight. When it clears, he sees Cas. No, not Cas -Lucifer. He's leaning on the doorframe, wearing Dean's red Carhatt shirt and playing with hammer. That hammer his demon brother tried to kill him with.
Sam forgets how to breathe.
"Wanna play, Sammy-boy?"

Sam wakes up with a loud gasp and almost momentarily there's Ruby's knife in his outstretched hand. He's looking out for threat but there's no one. It was just a horrible nightmare, Sam had so many of them in his life. But he feels like Lucifer is shoving Cas's hand in his ribcage and he is suffocating again. It's a cold bone-deep panic that is setting itself comfortably in Sam's chest and killing any other emotions. It's not the usual kind of panic when you are pacing back and forth and don't know what to do with all that crap rather than fall into the ground. It's Sam Freakin' Winchester kind of panic - pretending that all is peachy and fine when inside all is screaming oh god no no nonono. This is what happens when you throw a soul in Lucifer's dog bowl.
Sam blinks - and suddenly Lucifer is here again, wearing a creepy smile on Cas's soft face and tapping his hand with the hammer.
Sam can't scream for Dean.
Sam can't fucking breathe.
He thinks that this cold is going to freeze him to death.

He looks around because he needs something bigger than Ruby's toothpick. Sam's gaze falls on the dusty old books scattered all around the table.
One of the books catches his attention. There's a picture of an old protection sigil said that it doesn't let the angel posess the vessel and Sam without second thoughts takes the knife and drives it in his skin.
He's so panicked that all emotions just don't exist for him, he feels no pain when sharp edge slices his arm. He draws the first line, then the second and the others with cold determination. He's so fucking scared that his hands aren't shaking. Instead Sam like a robot carves and carves and carves all parts of the sigil onto his forearm and Lucifer's figure flickers. When Sam finishes archangel's already gone.
Sam exhales and smiles weakly because he isn't as helpless as he thought. This time he won. And he can do it next time.
Crimson warm is streaming down his arm and dripping on the floor but he doesn't care.
Sam doesn't sleep this night. He feverously turns page after page after page and finally finds what le looks for.
There are about twelve open books on the table, their pages showing a lot of different drawings.
Purification symbols.
Protection sigils.
Protection.

Sam takes the knife. Now he'll be absolutely fine.

Oh!!!!!! This is heartbreakingly wonderful!!!!!

Thanks!

So dark and sad, and I loved how you captured Sam's state of mind and how he feels like this is the best option for him. Thank you for sharing :)

Glad to hear you liked it. Thanks for your comment!
