ohsam | November 2017 Comment Meme time!

BOOST THE SIGNAL

Welcome back to another November, and our annual November 2nd meme!

This time around, we're going to do a good old-fashioned comment meme. Starting right now (no, really, right now) post any prompt in the comments of this post, as long as it is h/c-related and Sam-centric.

As soon as you see a prompt you like, fill it! Write a fic, make some art, use your imagination. Post a reply to the original prompt comment with your work or, if it's a lengthy fic or art, a link to the work in your journal or elsewhere.

The rules:
-Post one prompt per comment, please. This makes it easier to track, and easier to tell which fills go with which prompts.

-Post as many prompts as you'd like! The more, the merrier.

-Same goes for fills. You're welcome to fill as many prompts as you want to, and multiple people can absolutely fill the same prompt. We love to see different takes on the same concept.

-Like we said, h/c and Sam-centric.

-Feedback is love. If you liked it, leave a comment!

-Use the code below if your fic/art contains potential triggers (non/dub-con, abuse, self-harm, etc.):

-NO SPOILERS FOR UNAIRED EPISODES. Please be courteous and post spoiler warnings for recently aired episodes. Use the following code for spoilers:

-No spamming.

-Play nice and have fun!

The mods will update the post with a masterlist of prompts/fills periodically throughout the meme. If you notice a prompt or a fill missing from the masterlist, please poke

quickreaver or

cowboyguy and we'll get that updated as soon as we can.

So get ready, unleash ~~your inner demons~~ your creativity, and start prompting!

Masterlist of Fills

Were It Not That I Have Bad Dreams by intrepidsilt
Also on AO3
Prompt: Cage nightmares, a little bit of h/c from Dean when Sam has nightmares about the Cage. Whatever form that takes, I'm easy!

And The House Burned by

foodthatsblue
Prompt: Based on a quote from Bobby in 5x21

“Back at Niveus? I watched that kid pull one civilian out after another. Must have saved 10 people. Never stopped. Never slowed down. We’re hard on him Dean. Always have been. But in the meantime... he’s been running into burning buildings since he was, what... 12?”

I wanna see Sam, 12, running into a burning building to save people. Why not add in some protective Dean and John freaking out that his youngest has run straight into a burning building?

Prompt: Dean finds and follows a blood trail left in the snow/sand/forest, and finds a pale and bleeding-out Sam at the end of it.

Tree Hugger by

mentholpixie
Prompt: Sam developed psychic abilities at a younger age. Telekinesis, visions, seeing the dead, whatever you choose, whatever age. But how does the Winchester family deal with it? Is the hunting community aware? And what sort of toll do these abilities take on a young Sam?

Find No Scar by

hollyhobbit44
Prompt: Sam actually kills himself to keep from being Lucifer's vessel. And Lucifer keeps him promise to just bring him back.

Untitled by

toratio
Prompt: Sam knows that Jack is a precious cinnamon roll, but sometimes, Jack just makes a certain expression, or the light catches his eyes just right, or something, and Sam can't help but see Lucifer.

The Case of the Disappearing Nephilim by

mollrach13
Prompt: Sam gets hurt protecting Jack from some hunters.

Timberland by

crowroad3
Prompt: Wounded Sam being tracked through a forest by Demon Dean.

Riptide by

lennelle
Prompt: Instead of Mary, Sam is dragged through the rift with Lucifer at the end of s12.

The Space Between by

clown_or_midget
Prompt: Sam and Dean are fighting again about Jack. Dean says some hurtful words to Sam. Jack is watching all this and becomes stressed. His stress opens the door to the alternate world. But not only that, it also opens the door to the cage. Sam and Jack get sucked into the cage while Mary comes back. After some time, Jack was finally able to get them back to the bunker. Cue guilty Dean taking care of Sam, with Mary and Jack helping.

The Hearts of the Fathers by keepcalmsmile
Prompt: Reverse Mystery Spot situation: Dean is the one who has to watch Sam die repeatedly, for whatever reason. Season, cause, etc., all up to author!

threadofgrace42
Prompt: In the cage, Lucifer offered Sam and Adam the same deal Alistair offered Dean: he'll stop torturing them if they torture each other. Sam doesn't take it. Adam does.
Bonus points if you include Sam dealing with his feelings about Adam once he got out: anger, fear, forgiveness, regret, compassion etc

A Soul for a Soul by

hollyhobbit42
Prompt: In the cage, Lucifer offered Sam and Adam the same deal Alistair offered Dean: he'll stop torturing them if they torture each other. Sam doesn't take it. Adam does.
Bonus points if you include Sam dealing with his feelings about Adam once he got out: anger, fear, forgiveness, regret, compassion etc

Prompt: Someone else requested Sam losing a leg -- I'd like to see him lose an arm, and see him getting used to trying to do things one-handed. Ending up in tears because he can't figure out how to put his watch on his remaining wrist. Forgetting he's only got one arm and trying to carry a lot of stuff and then realizing he's got no way to open a door. Just all of the frustration that comes with having to re-learn how to do a lot of things, and Dean helping him through it.

Tell Me You Understand by

broken_cinders
Prompt: Sam's a teenager, so Dean and John expect that he's going to go through one of those moody phases where he hates talking to his family, but this is just getting ridiculous. Half the time Sam doesn't even answer them, and both of them are getting frustrated with Sam's attitude. They don't realize, though, that Sam is slowly starting to lose his hearing -- he's not ignoring them, he's just not hearing them.

After Hours by

lennelle
Prompt: Post episode 7.17, The Born Again Identity, Sam withdraws from all the crap he was given at the hospital.

Fine by face70
Prompt: Anything with Sam freaking out about Lucifer being in the bunker in S11 (either just because of cage memories, or because Lucifer actually does something). Sam&Dean gen.

It Had to Be You by face70
Prompt: Tim and Reggie (from 5x03) are still alive. Sam runs into them on a hunt. They’re not happy about their last encounter.

Anywhere But Here by

lennelle
Prompt: Sam has a kind of supernatural synesthesia. Which might be great when he's hunting, because he can recognize monsters by the color or sound or whatever that they give off. It's less good when he's faced with beings like Lucifer and other big bads, whose power creates an overwhelming sensory experience.

It Had to Be You by face70
Prompt: Sam contracts mono early at Stanford and essentially loses the semester, and then his scholarship. With nowhere to go and no way to pay, he attempts suicide. The school contacts Bobby, who tracks down John and Dean. Dean arrives in California to save the day. Gen please. :)

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

He's not sure how long it's been. There's no night or day here, and whatever's left of the sun hangs high in the sky endlessly, hot enough to burn his exposed skin. Sam's feet are turning numb, his legs getting heavier and heavier as his stomach cramps with hunger. He rubs his hand under his shirt, feels the flatness of his belly as it growls to be fed. He feels at his ribs, wonders if he can make out the markings etched there.

Lucifer can't find Sam as quickly if he didn't see which way he went.

He needs to rest, he needs to keep moving. He pauses, contemplating taking a break for a moment, when something moves at the top of the valley, sending a stream of rubble tumbling down to him. He stops breathing for a moment. He found me he found me he found me

Something else comes hurtling down towards him, and he's so relieved it isn't Lucifer that he forgets a little too late to draw Ruby's knife. It's a demon, the black eyes are a dead giveaway, but the horns are definitely new. It barrels into him, sending him into the ground and pinning him there. It swipes him across the cheek with sharp claws.

Sam manages to buck it off, pulling the knife from his belt, and he's ready this time when it comes for him. He spears it in the chest and watches orange flicker under its skin as it dies. He's out of breath by the end, cheek throbbing with stinging pain. He feels the wound and hisses, fingers coming away with fresh blood.

Everything tilts for a second and Sam puts his hand out to steady himself, but there's nothing. He drops heavily to his knees, exhausted and starving and in pain. He tries, he really does, but the next thing he knows he's got a face full of dirt and everything is blurring together.

He wakes up in motion and nearly throws up all over himself. He turns to the side and hacks up a nasty string of saliva. Now that he thinks about it, he doesn't remember when he last ate. The movement stops and Sam realises he's stretched out on something like a sled, wedged between tin cans and ammo.

Someone trudges over and Sam peers up blearily until the face comes into focus.

"Bobby?"

"Yeah," Bobby replies, pulling the cloth away from the lower half of his face. "You think you can walk now? Because I ain't pulling you any further."

Sam lets him help him to his feet. It's strange, to look at someone you loved so much and know it isn't really them. He wants to hug this man, but this man probably doesn't want to hug him.

"Guess you didn't get back to your world, then," Bobby says, shrugging. "Well, welcome to paradise."

"You saved me," Sam says. "You - you don't even know me."

Bobby shrugs again. "Ain't many humans left. Besides, you've been here five minutes and already got your ass kicked. Figured you could use some help."

"Thanks. Really."

"Don't mention it. Look... what was your name again?"

That feels like a kick in the chest. "It's Sam."

"Sam, I don't really work well with others. I thought I'd wait until you were okay to get on your feet... this is where we part ways."

He picks up his sled, carrying on his way before he's finished speaking, not pausing to say goodbey. Sam thinks of this dry, grey, lifeless hellscape, and he thinks of being alone in it. He thinks of Dean and his Mom being so far away. And Cas... God. Sam can't be alone. Not again.

"Wait," he shouts, jogging to catch up. "Please."

Bobby pauses and raises an eyebrow at him.

"I can fight," Sam says. "I've killed three white-eyed demons in my world, I even took down Lucifer."

"Thought he's still alive where you are."

"He is," Sam admits. "But I locked him away. That's why my world doesn't look like yours. But he's out now, here, and he's after me."

Bobby doesn't look impressed. "Didn't do such a good job then, did you?" he says.

Sam's teeth grind together. He pulls Ruby's knife from his belt and holds it up. "This can kill demons. I can kill demons."

"I didn't ask for your resume," Bobby says.

Sam sighs. "I'm just saying, I can be useful to you. I can watch your back. You can trust me."

"Oh, can I?"

Bobby stares at him, waiting for an answer. Sam can only think of the truth. "You're like a father to me. Where I come from, I mean. You were family."

Bobby looks him up and down for a minute, like he's trying to spy any cracks in a facade. After a moment, he says, "Fine. You can stick with me for a while, just keep any of that sappy crap about the other me to yourself. You said the other Lucifer is here following you?"

Sam nods.

For the first time, a grin spreads across Bobby's face and he pats the gun strapped to his shoulder. "Always wanted to kill an archangel. Come on, then, kid."

I LOVE THIS.

Oh yay! Thanks :)

(OP here) Ooh, this is great! I love that even through the terror Sam kept himself together enough to get away and make a plan. thanks so much for the fill!

Thanks so much! I'm relieved to hear you like it, I was feeling a little unsure about it as I posted it. It didn't turn out how I imagined it in my head. Even so, I quite like the idea of Sam and AU!Bobby having adventures together.

Packs a punch. <3!

Oh thank you! :)

Oh, so many lovely turns of phrase, how could I NOT love this?

*blushes*

TBC, right? I love the idea of Sam building something new with AU Bobby, and that AU Bobby is even crustier than our Bobby. Who'd have thought that was even possible? LOL

Sam and AU Bobby would have a very interesting relationship indeed! Now I just need regular Bobby to meet his AU self

Yes! I love the idea of Sam in the AU world trapped with Lucifer and I loved seeing Bobby and how he teemed up with Sam at the end! Wonderful! :)

Thanks! :)
