OhSam Triple Play 2016!

[ohsam_mod]

It's November 2, an auspicious (if ominous) day for our darling Sam, so to herald his introduction to The Red Stuff, let's revisit an annual tradition. Welcome to the OhSam Triple Play 2016! This year, we're offering a focus on a reoccurring theme in Sam's life: blood"Blood" could be interpreted in many ways. Family don't end with blood. The demon

The Recorded History of Sam Winchester (1/4)

There was an instruction manual, long back in Heaven, typed up on several things: skin, sky, bits of song, whatever the frazzled scribe could reach in the throes of Creation. Too long to really make for riveting reading material, but Metatron had also provided an executive summary. The gist of it being-hey, humans are pretty fragile! Handle with care! Can explode! Can be taken apart! But as an addendum, a little line also about their souls being indestructible

After blood comes brother, death, goodbye, Lawrence. Also book, coffee, Dean, and with more difficulty, Ruby, devil, angels, Jess. Castiel finds a room adjacent to the white sunlit room, a kitchen. He transforms his curations into confections there, because it is easier than presenting them one by one to Sam. He digs silver spoons out of cupboards and ladles cream laced with house-fires, cherries stuffed with monster lore, figs drenched in honey full of rock song lyrics. The trick is that this kind of soul-body-explosion cannot be treated all at once. You could only hope to fix it bit by bit.

Sometimes Sam doesn’t eat all of it. He has to refuse Cold Oak at first; although he soldiers through demon blood with his whole new body quaking and tears running silently down his face. Castiel thinks of headstrong, stubborn Sam and wishes that he had not opened the door to Bobby’s panic room, so many weesks ago. That conclave of labels that follows Sam barely features any that Sam had brought upon himself: in the cosmic lay of things, here is

Desperation. Anger. The Devil. Defeat. Sin. Pain.
Castiel divides all the white plates from the red plates. He hums quietly, an old song that was harmonized from one corner of Heaven to the other, and figures out that there are chords and tempos his vessel cannot comprehend. He settles for a sailing ditty instead, picked up from Ur long ago. He doesn’t look at Sam, swaddled in a quilt and staring darkly at his half-eaten plate, memories and being draining in and out of himself. It looks like this is physically hurting him. He curls against the side of the couch, one fist clenched, biting down on the pain

Ok, this was super trippy, but very nice

Oh god, this is perfection.

wowowowow!!
Your writing is always so uniquely descriptive. You took this prompt in a completely different direction than I ever could have imagined, so clever and heartfelt. I really enjoyed Cas and how deeply he cared for Sam in this, it made him very human.
Lovely!

Ah, man. Nursing Sam back from de-constitution, from quarks, making a museum of Sam from the blood out. Fantastic. Everything I love about your work and more. Taking this one with me. <3 <3

[laughablelament]

Where to start? Castiel, tender and patient. Dean? Not. ;) Said above, bears repeating: love the direction you went with the prompt! Super creative and cool. Sam, coming back to himself, hurting but fighting, Winchester all the way. Also, amazing, somehow both ethereal and visceral. Sorcery! ^_^

Wow, this was such a cool and unique story. I really liked the mystery in the process of Cas sorting out what happened and then Cas being so caring in helping piece Sam back together. Amazing work!

OMG, this is gorgeous, and I missed it when it went up! I guess it was too far down the comment tree for me to get the notification. I love your imagery and your cosmology, the way you took the museum and ran with it to have Cas curating the museum of Sam, and Cas grieving for the things that have happened to Sam but also being aware that the darkness is part of who Sam is, that erasing that would be murder. And I like the way it works with Cas and Sam's canon relationship in s5, when Cas was very much putting things together to get his picture of Sam.

Thank you so much for writing this!

This was just mesmerising. I enjoyed this a lot. Sam, Reconstructed. Wow. Such a beautiful piece of writing.

RE: Filled The Recorded History of Sam Winchester (4/4)

[madebyme_x]

Oh this is so creative and full of fascinating imagery - I love it! The idea of Cas piecing Sam back together, and feeding him parts of himself is just so masterful and I loved that hint of Sam's pain, that he maybe asked for this to happen for the greater good. Oh the feels!!!

Excellent work, as always! Thank you so much for sharing :)

I love this, Cas's careful caretaking and Sam so fragile, Cas putting all the bad bits back in. Love it.
