The comm hosted this little event a couple of years ago, and as November 2 is an auspicious day for our darling Sam, today would be the perfect time to revisit this challenge. Welcome to the Triple Play 2015!

It’s Gotta Be a Damn GhostWhen you’ve been raised as a hunter, there are some things you notice that others around you dismiss too easily. There’s the drop in temperature, for starters. People reach for their jackets or sweaters on the bar stools next to them and think maybe they just haven’t had enough to drink tonight to stay warm. Then there’s the flicker of lights, for another. People assume the power company just had some sort of hiccup like a transformer blew somewhere else in town and the electricity flow elsewhere was disrupted for a second. Or maybe something got struck by a bolt of lightning out there in the rainstorm, even though no one heard a clap of thunder and the storm’s letting up anyway. Or maybe it’s some stupid college student’s first night on the job and he backed up into the light switches when he was reaching for the mop and bucket to help clean up the inevitable mess one finds in a bar where patrons drink way too much

Sam takes his arm back and swipes under his nose. The nosebleed has stopped, so he's got that going for him. He thinks he should be pretending this hurts more, though, if Brady's reaction is anything to judge by. People aren't supposed to get beat up by half a fraternity and not be in considerable pain. And, yeah, it hurts. But it's nothing compared to what Sam's been though. There was that skinwalker who cut into him, peeling layer after layer of skin off him just for fun while wearing his father's face and laughing at him the whole time. There was that demon who smashed a fist in his face before sending him tumbling down two and a half flights of stairs to land at the bottom with more bones broken than not. There was that cursed gun the witch had tricked him into holding that made him shoot himself in the leg four times before Dean figured out the counter-curse. Oh, and then there was that demon who'd killed his mom and set her on fire in his bedroom when he was only a baby

Ohh, thank you so much for filling my prompt - this was perfect! I loved how you focused on the aftermath of the fight, and how Sam's first reaction is still hunting, monsters and saving people. So insightful and poignant for this time line.
I loved seeing Sam reminisce positively about his family too, and then limp away with Jess on his arm. I thoroughly enjoyed this - thank you!!! Take care :)
