Title: Like an Echo Down a Canyon
Characters: Sam, Castiel
Genre: Gen
Word count: Around 3,700
Summary: Episode 14X13, "Lebanon" (so big spoilers for that). The night that follows the *cough* events *cough* is hard on everyone in the bunker. Cas witnesses the way it goes for Sam. He expected trouble, but not this.

The fic touches on the repercussions of early emotional trauma, which the show can't really tackle to the degree I'd like it to. So there's mainly vulnerable!Sam, guilt, emotional flashbacks mixed with dissociation, and Castiel's weekly Understanding Psychologically Wounded Humans challenge. Probably more hurt than comfort in this h/c, really. Sorry.

Title: Away from These Shores (12/?)
Author:ever_dimming
Genre: Gen
Summary: A simple hunt leaves Sam in an altered state no one seems able to explain – at first. Pulling him out of it is not nearly as easy as it should be, especially since Dean is dealing with his own trauma(s).
Spoilers: The fic is standalone, but refers to the plot up to and including 8X01 here and there.
Disclaimer: Supernatural, its characters, plot lines etc. belong to their awesome creators. I am merely suggesting fun new ways in which those beloved characters could suffer and/or be comforted.

He’s not sure what’s happening. He knows his eyes are open, because he can see the room around him, can see Dean and hear Jane’s voice, though he can’t actively look at anything, can't quite listen. He’s just there. Where - - what’s going on?
“Sam.” That’s Dean’s voice, Dean’s hand on his arm. Warm, solid. An anchor. “Sammy, talk to me. Hey.”
Jane sounds sad as she says, somewhere behind him, “he can’t.”
