http://ratherastory.livejournal.com/201862.html">http://i588.photobucket.com/albums/ss325/Mousme79/703promostill-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> Okay, folks, who else felt like all the delicious promised h/c got UNFAIRLY RIPPED AWAY last night? Yeah. What is this "three weeks later" nonsense?
Where was the head trauma? The hobbling around on crutches? The possible coma? Bobby having to take care of unconscious!Sam and loopy-on-painkillers!Dean?
And THEN there was all the during-and-post episode stuff that could have happened! Like Dean having a "mishap" cutting off his own cast. Sam dealing with Lucifer. ALL THE H/C!
In short, there needs to be comment-fic to fill in these terrible, terrible lapses in judgement on the writers' part, am I right? Of course I am!
THE RULES: (Just in case they need reiterating)
→ Leave a comment here with your prompt. This is a 7.03-focused meme, so the focus should be either on that episode, or the fallout from the episode. Feel free to spin off and go entirely AU based off the episode.
→ In your prompt, please state your desired characters or pairings. All genres/pairings welcome, but no RPF/RPS this time around (we're fixing the episode, damn it!).
Example A: “Dean's extra-awesome painkillers upset his stomach.”
Example B: “Sam's head injury causes him to lapse into a coma in which he relives all his worst memories of Hell.”
→ Post as many prompts as you like - but one prompt per comment. If you've got a couple, comment with each separately.
→ Prompts can be as short or detailed as you like. Remember though - more detail means less wriggle room for the writer, which might lower the chances of someone picking up your prompt.
→ Go through the prompts! If you find one you like, write a fic for it. There's no limit to how many users can reply to a prompt, or how many prompts someone can write for.
→ When replying to a prompt with your comment-fic, put ‘filled’ in your subject line and then anything else you want, like a title if you have one/part numbers. It’s not a big deal if you forget this step, but it will make it easier for people to find your fic.
→ ART PROMPTS AND FILLS ARE ALLOWED AND ENCOURAGED!
→ Anon posting enabled.
→ NO SPOILERS FOR UNAIRED EPISODES.
→ Play nice - no flaming and no character bashing, period. Any comments that break this rule will be deleted without warning.
→ Feedback is catnip for writers. Leave some author-love!
→ No spam comments.
→ Contact one of the mods if you have a question.
→ Spread the love - pimp this meme! (BTW, is anyone who is artistically-inclined willing to make a pimping banner for this? I would love you forever!)
→ Have fun!
Master List of Fills
- They're in the ambulance, heading out of town, and Sam starts seizing again...
Stay With Me by
cherry916 -In a lot of ways Bobby's house had become a home base for the Winchesters, nearly as much of a home as the Impala is. One night at the cabin Dean and Bobby and/or Sam have a beer and reminisce about some of their best memories of the place.
A Quiet Night by
weesta - ...also the cabin is really dusty, so there is respiratory distress.
Two Hits by
shangrilada -Bobby is trying to be strong and pretend that he's fine about the house burning down, but Sam and Dean catch him falling apart over it one night.
Untitled by
youaredriving -The head injury has managed to do what the wall-breakage (which I handwave as a process, not an event) has not: bring memories of 150+ years trapped with Mikey and Lucy directly to the surface, do not pass go, do not collect $200. It isn't even hallucinations, just...memories. So Sam is horizontal, not eating or sleeping, just crying involuntary tears that are the result of several lifetimes full of unrelenting pain.
I Heard Your Heart Beating (You Were in the Darkness Too) by
princess_aleera -Brain injuries make it really hard (well harder than normal) to tell what's real and what's not. Lucifer or really vivid back in hell and torture flashbacks are all win :D
It's All In My Head by
youaredriving -"You should see him when he drinks."
4 Times Sam Saw His Father Drunk (And One Time it Was Dean) by
princess_aleera - You never hear whether or not Sam woke up at all, even briefly, before leaving the hospital. What if he had? Alone, freaked out, maybe with Lucifer to keep him company...
Untitled by
mentholpixie -The Winchesters are bad enough on their good days but when they're hurt? They're 10 times worse...especially when they are stuck on the road and on the run. Bobby's POV driving to Montana with Dean's leg cast and Sam awake but seeing things... After a few days on the road with the boys, Bobby has a new appreciation of what John had to deal with when the boys were growing up.
6 Hours by
shangrilada -Dean tries washing his painkillers down with a couple of shots of Jack. It doesn't go well.
Zero Integrity by
stella_down -Dean punching Sam in the face? Yeah, not good when your brother's still on the mend from a hideous concussion.
Knock Out by
captainlon -Can anybody write a short little tag about Sheriff Mills? I mean, she *just* had fairly major surgery, and Bobby said he was going to check on her...and then it was three weeks later. Has he been in contact with her? Is she helping keep an eye on the Leviathans at the hospital?
Post Op by
tahirire -Friends...do you know how difficult it is to shower with a cast the size of Dean's? Sure, he can do the sponge bath routine for a while, but three weeks? Looking for more humorous than slashy, wrapping the cast in garbage bags to keep it dry, that sort of thing.
Roughing It by
rambling_rosie -Sam and Bobby have both taken off to their respective cases. Dean is all alone in the cabin, still sleeping on the couch, his leg still in the cast. The leviathans come and find him. What happens then, if Dean manages on his own or receives help from Bobby, and how Bobby (after coming back) and Sam (after his hunt for Amy) react is up to the author.
He Takes What He Can Get by
i_speak_tongue -They destroyed one of Dean's three trousers so now he searchs Sam's duffel bag to borrow one. And hey, Sam's still got that old hoodie! If you can't move around a lot you get cold.
Untiled by
mad_server -At some point, Dean's in a shitload of pain and his pills are on the other side of the cabin, and Sam is off in lala land, totally zoned out, and fuck it fucking HURTS, and he keeps calling Sam's name and finally drags himself across the room and pops a few too many pills. When Sam snaps out of it, he feels terrible and we finally get to see Sam carry his brother. And then help Dean when the drugs make him sick.
Untitled by
mad_server -Bobby is trying to be strong and pretend that he's fine about the house burning down, but Sam and Dean catch him falling apart over it one night.
Untitled by
youaredriving -Anything with high!Dean and forehead kisses.
This Little Bluebird (Don't Come Around Here No More) by
princess_aleera -Amy doesn't get the drop on her mom and she gets hold of Sam. Between Sam's knife and Amy lunging at her mom, Sam doesn't get the claws in the brain, but he's still severely injured. He convinces Amy to run and then lies alone, bleeding out on the floor and hoping that his Dad and brother really are on the way.
The First Scars by
captainlon -Sam starts using pain as a coping method, Lucifer eggs him on. Dean doesn't know what to do (if he finds out).
Layers Intact by
rokhal -Bobby's out for whatever reason, Sam's up and at 'em, Dean's doing all right. Then Sam has a seizure, in a small corner or trapped behind something or anywhere that Dean physically cannot get to on his leg. There's just no way he can touch Sam, either during the seizure or afterwards. Bonus points if Dean can see Sam but Sam can't see him, if Sam can't understand why Dean isn't with him, and if Sam hurts himself by seizing in such a small space.
Bobby's World by
enginestarsgo -Slashy Sam helps cranky sick broken-leggedy Dean scratch that itch deep down under his cast.
Itch by
salihe -Maybe when Dean's sleeping, Sam writes hilarious/annoying things on his cast. Bonus points if they have little conversations on it that they don't necessarily acknowledge out loud.
Plaster and Parmesan co-written by
wave_obscura and
shangrilada -I'd love to see a (non-Wincesty) story about Sam and Dean admitting to each other that they were both sexually assaulted in Hell, and maybe somehow trying to help each other deal with it. Or not deal, as the case may be.
I Go By Many Names by
princess_aleera -Sam's method of grounding himself and keeping reality straight is pain. Problem is, his hand has healed. So he's got to get creative. I don't necessarily mean serious self-harm, just little things. But then other people (hotel clerks, waitresses, etc) start noticing the creepy tall guy who zones out, occasionally talks to air, and randomly pinches or slaps himself. I don't imagine Dean would take to kindly to people using words like 'freak' or 'psycho' behind Sam's back. Bonus points if one day he snaps and tell them exactly the kind of monumental sacrifice Sam made for the world that left him this way, even if it means they think Dean is crazy too.
Freak by
tifaching -The first couple of days after Sam wakes up, he's awfully wobbly on his feet. Dean is barely getting around on his crutches. One day when Bobby goes out, one of them needs to go to the bathroom and the other one tries to help. Of course they end up hurting themselves when they fall into a big heap on the floor. They end up having to stay there until Bobby comes home.
Unbalanced pixymisa -The brain damage results in the last ??? number of years being erased for Sam. Author's choice how many, although I'd prefer he not have complete amnesia. He still knows Dean, knows Bobby, but mentions of Leviathans, or their trip(s) to Hell, or Cas, or shoot, even Stanford, leave him totally confused. Bonus points if he realizes something is wrong and tries to hide it from Dean at first.
Deficit by
pixymisa -Sam starts using pain as a coping method, Lucifer eggs him on. Dean doesn't know what to do (if he finds out)
Look'd Up In Perfect Silence At the Stars by
minviendha -Sam's knocked out, down for the count, and locked in his head with Lucifer. What's happening in his head and how Dean deals with his whimpering and flailing is up to you.
Awesome by
vail_kagami -Dean starts crying at one of his soap operas. And then he can't stop. He doesn't know why he's crying anymore.
In Which Dean Winchester Cries Like a 12-Year-Old Girl by
applegeuse -Bobby has to take off, but Sam is still very dizzy, having trouble keeping his balance and remembering how to do simple tasks like eat breakfast. Dean has to care for him even though he's in some pain himself.
You Can't Feel What You Can't Feel by
nwhepcat -Dean cuts off his cast too soon and ends up needing major surgery involving lots of pins and screws and plates.
To Hold the Bones Together by Anonymous
-The paramedic had a cold and gave it to Sam and Dean. I want Sam all feverish, confused, and clingy, and macho Dean trying to be strong for little brother, but very time he sneezes, the pain in his leg makes him want to cry. Basically, lots of sick and whiny boys looking pitifully at Bobby to make it all better.
Once Upon A Time by
shangrilada -It gets awful cold at night in Montana. Ordinarily Bobby would let those idiots fend for themselves, but they are still pretty incapacitated, and he can't be there every minute to make sure they are stay covered in blankets. So he goes out to the Impala to find extra clothes for the brothers to bundle up in. He stumbles on a couple of secret hiding places and finds a treasure chest of memories - photos of Mary, John Winchester's real driver's license, Sam's diploma, Dean's amulet and Cas' trench coat. Cue a couple of long, private conversations with each of the boys that help them start to deal with the memories. (Because they sure did look well-adjusted three weeks later.)
Untitled by
fantsywever -Sam has Lucifer in his head and peripheral vision at all times, even if he knows Lucifer is not really there. It's just something he has to deal with. Dean, though? Dean sees Castiel.
And the Darkness Shall Not Fade by Anonymous
- Dean wakes up on the couch to find Lucifer peering curiously at him. Sam comes in and tells him with great relief that he doesn't see the Devil. Dean says "that's awesome, Sammy."
Untitled by
lunasky3 -At the hospital, Dean hobbles down the hall to sit at Sam's bedside.
Getting to You by
ladybastet92 -Sam is having a really bad time with post-concussion crap and hallucinations and basically feeling overwhelmed and everything, and there's this little stray puppy that keeps crying at the door of Rufus's cabin. Naturally Sam starts leaving it food, but he discovers slowly how much the little guy is helping him feel grounded and needed and capable, and taking care of the puppy is something he can do well and reliably, and it gives him a reason to get up. Dean really does not like (or is allergic to????) freaking dogs. It doesn't help that the last ones he knew were the ones who chewed him up and dragged him down to hell.
Homeward Bound by Proxy by
rokhal -Now that the cast is off and Sam is somewhat back to normal, he and Dean want to have sex. But between Robo!Sam sleeping with everything that moved and Sam being raped by Lucifer, Sam has issues. He keeps getting triggered. Dean's understanding, which only makes Sam feel worse.
Chasing Away the Monsters by
jasmineisland -Sam isn't doing nearly as well as he seems. He's still having seizures, hallucinations, and turns to self-harm to deal. Bobby found out but had to promise Sam that he wouldn't tell Dean so Dean can recover his broken leg in peace without feeling he has to hobble after Sam wherever he goes.
As Many Times As It Took by
quickreaver Sam is having a really bad time with post-concussion crap and hallucinations and basically feeling overwhelmed and everything, and there's this little stray puppy that keeps crying at the door of Rufus's cabin. Naturally Sam starts leaving it food, but he discovers slowly how much the little guy is helping him feel grounded and needed and capable, and taking care of the puppy is something he can do well and reliably, and it gives him a reason to get up.

Nun hat er nichts mehr lieb by
honeylocusttree -The Leviathans get a hold of Dean (or Sam) before Bobby manages to get them out of the hospital. They get out in one piece, but notice before the doctor had time to do his favorite procedure; severing their vocal chords.
They Shoot Horses by
i_speak_tongue -The Leviathans get a hold of Dean (or Sam) before Bobby manages to get them out of the hospital. They get out in one piece, but notice before the doctor had time to do his favorite procedure; severing their vocal chords.
Lipreading by
shangrilada -Dean wakes up on the couch to find Lucifer peering curiously at him. Sam comes in and tells him with great relief that he doesn't see the Devil. Dean says "that's awesome, Sammy." Lucifer agrees.
Now Showing by Anonymous
-That last blow to the head proved to be the straw that broke the camel's back. Sam starts having seizures a lot more frequently than any of them like. Sometimes they get lucky and Sam just spaces out for a few minutes, but mostly they're nasty and drop Sam like a ton of bricks.
Getting A Life by
debbiel66 -Prompt: in one of Sam's Hell-fugues, he wanders away from the cabin (while Bobby is out). While Dean is trying to navigate the forest on crutches, he trips and knocks himself out on a rock. Cue Sam pulling it together and hauling him back to the cabin.
Wayfare by
whereupon -Dean manages to make it down to the basement okay, and finds a cursed object that unleashes some kind of chaos when he touches it. He hobbles around trying to reverse the damage all stealthily (nothing to see here, I didn't do anything), and does his best not to get himself killed in the process. MEANWHILE, Sam thinks he's going even crazier because said damage is far from invisible but too inexplicable to be real, and Dean isn't freaking out so it's gotta be Sam, right?
