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

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
foodthatsbluePrompt: 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?
Untitled by
caranfindelPrompt: 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
mentholpixiePrompt: 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
hollyhobbit44Prompt: Sam actually kills himself to keep from being Lucifer's vessel. And Lucifer keeps him promise to just bring him back.
Untitled by
toratioPrompt: 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
mollrach13Prompt: Sam gets hurt protecting Jack from some hunters.
Timberland by
crowroad3Prompt: Wounded Sam being tracked through a forest by Demon Dean.
Riptide by
lennellePrompt: Instead of Mary, Sam is dragged through the rift with Lucifer at the end of s12.
The Space Between by
clown_or_midgetPrompt: 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!
Untitled by
threadofgrace42Prompt: 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
hollyhobbit42Prompt: 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
Untitled by
dragonflybeachPrompt: 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_cindersPrompt: 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
lennellePrompt: 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
lennellePrompt: 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. :)

RE: Tell Me You Understand (Excerpt) 5/5
Date: 2017-11-09 06:18 pm (UTC)Dean studied Sam. There were dark circles under his eyes and tension was sitting heavy in his shoulders and chest.
“Please? Let’s just go home. You can yell at me there.”
Sam sounded exhausted and it crawled under Dean’s skin. Sam didn’t get to play the martyr here. “Fine,” he snarled. He turned with a jerk towards the Impala and yanked the door open.
When they got home, he herded Sam inside and, before his brother could even think about slinking back off to his room, Dean pointed a finger at the dining room table and barked, “Sit!”
Sam sank into a seat as Dean yanked out a second chair and flipped it around so that he could sit backwards on it. "So," he said. “Care to tell me what’s going on?”
Sam watched him carefully. “I don’t-"
“You know exactly what I’m talking about.”
Sam frowned and shook his head. “No, I just don’t really know where to start.”
Dean propped his elbows on the back of the chair and dropped his face into his hands. He already had a headache. Not daring to look up in case he lost even more of his temper, he collected himself as much as he could and said in a moderately even tone, “Why don’t we start with why you were so eager to get home and go from there.”
Sam was silent for a long minute. Dean glanced up, making eye contact so he would be more inclined to answer.
“I…I didn’t catch any of that.”
Dean glared at him. “What exactly does that mean?”
Sam shifted guiltily in his seat.
“Sam,” Dean said, a note of warning coloring his voice.
“Your face was buried in your arms. I didn’t understand what you just said.”
Not to be deterred, Dean repeated himself. “I said, let’s talk about your little outburst in the parking lot.”
Sam seemed to shrink a little. “Oh.”
“Yeah, oh. You’ve never had trouble following conversations in the dark before.” Dean didn’t mean to let the note of accusation creep into his voice, but it did all the same.
Sam muttered something that Dean didn’t quite catch.
“Come again?”
“I’ve been having trouble hearing.”
“You’ve what?” Dean asked, sure he’d just misunderstood something.
“Everything’s all mushed together and muffled, and it was too dark to really read your lips.”
Dean stared at Sam for a long minute. Finally he said, “Let me get this straight. You couldn’t hear me out there.”
Sam nodded, looking a little wary.
“But you can here?”
Sam shook his head. “No. At least not clearly. But there’s better light and it’s calmer.”
Dean stood, nearly knocking his chair over. He stalked to the fridge and yanked out a can of soda that he chugged down in one go. It wasn’t what he wanted, but he needed to be entirely sober at that particular moment. When he felt a tiny bit calmer, he came back and sat down. “If this is some kind of fucking joke. If you think you can get out of trouble by playing it off, you’ve got another thing coming.”
“I wouldn’t do that. That’s sick.”
“So what, I’m just supposed to believe you’ve got spontaneous hearing loss now?”
Sam looked away, and bingo. Dean could spot the guilt from a mile away.
“Not spontaneous, no.” That caught Dean off guard.
“Not…What the hell Sam. This isn’t funny. Don’t go making things up just to get out of trouble.”
Sam's eyes blazed. “I’m not making things up! I can prove it!”
Sam took off towards his room before Dean could blink. He heard angry muttering and papers shuffling before Sam stormed back out with a manila folder that he tossed onto the table corner Dean had been leaning against.
Dean picked up the folder. It was unmarked with only a handful of sheets inside. When it fell open, he was faced with a random chart. Three or four more were tucked in behind the first. Dean rifled through them, not really comprehending what he was looking at.
“What is all this?”
He nearly jumped when Sam yanked the edge of the folder down. “What did you say,” he snarled. “If we’re going to have this conversation don’t cover up your mouth.”
The anger in Sam’s tone stung a little. Sam hadn’t been really, truly angry with Dean in ages. Dean cleared his throat. “I said, what am I looking at?”
The tiniest fraction of tension seeped out of Sam’s shoulders. “Audiograms,” he said. “One each for the last four months.”

Date: 2017-11-15 02:34 pm (UTC)OMG I WANT TO SEE MORE. I am so sorry not sorry AT ALL that this has taken over your NaNo because this is amazing. I love the setup you've started with, and both boys are written so well. It was great to see all the little clues, all the tiny things that show that Sam's attitude isn't for the reason Dean thinks it is. And Dean, feeling out of his depth in dealing with his brother but still trying to make an effort and figure it out.
Really excited to see more of this! (And wishing you good luck on your NaNo! I'm ridiculously behind schedule on mine, lol.)
RE: Tell Me You Understand (Excerpt) 5/5
Date: 2017-11-16 01:24 am (UTC)Sam might be my favorite, adorable bundle of walking disaster, but I love the way Dean handles it. He's so wonderfully imperfect at it and most of the time I just want to give him a big squishy hug until he feels better. I kinda fell in love with the idea of him telling the story.
I really have you to thank for being ahead on my NaNo. I'm sending lots of cookies and encouragement for your NaNo. You can do it!

Date: 2017-11-29 03:18 am (UTC)Hi! I usually try to post simultaneously on LiveJournal (https://broken-cinders.livejournal.com) and fanfiction (https://www.fanfiction.net/u/811303/Crystal-Sampson). Your welcome to follow either account, but I will also be announcing it in the comm when it goes up. I'm not going to set a date because I'm really, really bad at deadlines, but I'm hoping another week or two. Depends on how quickly the last bit of editing goes and how fast my beta can get it back to me.

Date: 2017-12-11 04:41 am (UTC)Sadly, I've been working 8-15 hr shifts almost daily for a couple weeks now so progress is slow. I'd say this is about 90% written. What's up here is chapter one and part of chapter two, minus a little on the front end that I cut because of character limits. I'm planning on posting the first few chapters around the 15th, my work schedule permitting. Might be more like the 17th because Sundays are much slower for us.
