inspired by the vaguest of season 9 spoilers we've gotten thus far, and rokhal's prompt over at the ohsam Summer comment-fic meme:
After the trials, Sam doesn't get better. Kevin's theory is that it's cancer: the trials are supposed to purge him of all physical and spiritual impurities, so tuberculosis is out, and cancer is the only reason left for Sam to be

Oooh, nice! Love the slow, suspenseful build between Dean's waking and his discovery. And you've actually made me feel badly for poor Crowley. HDU! ;)

The big reveal as depicted in quickreaver's art is just perfect! Crowley's expression! And mmm, that tiny touch of red!

In the dark, the blood spot on Sam's chin looked like chocolate milk, and Dean wet his thumb, rubbing it gently across the spot until it was gone. Sam had always been a messy eater.

Beautiful image and a quite lovely callback to young!Dean and wee!Sam. Brava!

Thanks daaaaahlink! (You're always way WAY too kind.) Moni + blood + Sam = looooove. :D

lol! Sorry about that!
This is one of those scenarios I would SO love to see, so since I know it's extremely unlikley, I had to write it out before the new season starts ; ) and then quickreaver made the AWESOME to go with it : D It's so pretty \o/

I'm glad you liked the last line too, I figure Dean must have cleaned Sam's face plenty of times when they were growing up.

Sam blood stories are the best.

[monicawoe]

Yes they are! \o/

[catsintheattic]

That last sentence, the acceptance behind it! And I actually felt bad for Crowley.

[monicawoe]

Yeah, Crowley's not in the best situation in this story ; )

[quickreaver]

Oh, poo. Crowley gets what he gets!

[brightly_lit]

Ah, this is great, haunting and creepy and deliciously so. Dean will always let Sam have what he needs, no matter how horrifying it is. :-(

Poor Crowley! He's always so pitiable when he's helpless, rare as it is ...

GORGEOUS art!! I never cease to be amazed at how many incredible writers and artists there are in this community ...

[monicawoe]

Thanks so much, I'm glad you enjoyed the read!
Dean will always let Sam have what he needs, no matter how horrifying it is. :-( In this case, it sure looks that way!

And yes Crowley is quite pitiable here. Somehow I don't feel that bad ; )

quickreaver's incredibly talented, isn't she?

[quickreaver]

I never cease to be amazed at how many incredible writers and artists there are in this community ...

Me neither, frankly! Some of the BEST damned writers, I swear. I'd love to read their original fic and I hope to, some day! ;)

love it when art and stories come together!!!!

That is totally my theory on Dean's secret on how Sam got better... Crowley and demon blood

I miss demon Blood Sam!! He was bad ass

Mine too! I want this so badly!

I miss demon Blood Sam!!
Me too!! He was so wonderfully powerful : D

LOVE THAT USER PIC!!!!!!

I really really hope it's Crowley and Demon blood.
Crowley is the only Supernatural thing that is left that would cause a secret.
I think Dean would o anything to save Sammy.
It would be awesome if this leads to some kind of addiction feeling. Maybe he doesn't act on it but the need is there at some level.
And I miss him thrusting out his hand and using his mojo to gank demons (which was awesome and bad ass and hey, led to some hurt Sammy for bonus!)

If you like that user pic, then you may enjoy this GIF-set

And I totally agree Dean would do anything to save Sam - he's proven that time and time again.

Oh yes, how I miss Sam's powers (see above GIF-set)

; )
