"You Only Hurt the One You Love" Meme!

Alright, everyone, it’s nearly Valentine’s Day! You know what this means? It’s the perfect opportunity to show our love for our favorite Winchester by doing what we do best - hurting him, maiming him, making him sick, putting him through emotional torture. Y’know, the usual.

Welcome to ohsam’s “You Only Hurt the One You Love” meme!

Filled: (untitled) - character death (1/?)

(I always feel faintly ridiculous warning for character death in Supernatural fic...)

He doesn’t notice with the scar. Not at first. No-one touches it anyway, Dean doesn’t like to acknowledge its’ existence, and there’s no-one else who’s tactile enough with him for it to be noticeable.

Dean dies, and Ruby bugs him until he gives in to her, what she wants, what he thinks she’s offering. They’re in bed (a rare thing for them, usually too caught up to make it that far) when she runs her hand down his back and over the scar, and pain - white hot and agonizing - flares over his lower back. He pulls away from her sharply and demands to know what she did. She denies having done anything, a mildly puzzled look on her face, and comments that he must be older than he looks if his back is acting up already. He drops it, and she soothes him the only way she knows how.

He doesn’t think of it again until Dean appears in the doorway to his motel, grinning and joking and alive. The hug he’s pulled into is good, great even, until Dean’s hand

Too many monsters, too many angels, too many fights with Dean, and he’s too exhausted to care about something that matters so little.

And then he frees Lucifer and ends the world and abandons Dean because he can’t anymore, he just can’t. He ends up in a small bar, talking to a normal girl with normal problems, until his problems spill over into her world and someone’s holding him down and waving a vial of demon blood in his face. There’s a hand on his back, barely an inch above the scar, and he concentrates too much on not letting them touch it, avoiding the pain, and not enough on avoiding the demon blood being poured down his throat. It burns his mouth (it always did, he remembers, except before he had burning fury and hatred and conviction on his side and it didn’t matter), and his face as he spits it back out. Lindsay’s ok, shaken and scared but ok, and he goes to bed that night with a phantom pain in his back and a burn in his throat, but feeling like he might be able to be a decent person again. Not a good one, the Apocalypse

The overwhelming horror of being Lucifer’s vessel eclipses the pain he fell asleep to, and there are more problems waiting for him when he and Dean start hunting together again, and the problem with his scar slips his mind for a while

It’s not really an issue after that. Dean touches him less and less, cares about him less and less, and it hurts in a different way, but Sam prefers that to the way his muscles lock up and scream in agony every time someone brushes past him in the street

This is so fantastically angsty! I love that Sam kept it hidden from Dean, but I hate it at the same time. And that ending... You did such a great job with this prompt. :-)

Wow, that was amazing! I love the idea that all the pain radiates from that old scar, from that first death. And of course Lucifer would reinflict that injury to torture Sam. Arggh!

Thank you for filling my prompt! You are awesome!

So dark and angsty! I love how you started with the Cold Oaks scar and then took that season through season, only to expand on it with Lucifer's torture. The end was chilling and wonderful! Thank you for sharing :)
