My gift to you: hurt!Sam fic recs
Since I don't have a new episode to review this week, let me fill that hole in your life with one of my very favorite things: hurt!Sam fics.
The ohsam community recently hosted a comment meme, and as usual, it was glorious. You really should go read every single one of them. But in the interest of saving time, I want to rec five of my favorites.
Were It Not That I Have Bad Dreams by intrepidsilt
Also on AO3
Prompt: Cage nightmares, a little bit of h/c from Dean when Sam has nightmares about the Cage. Whatever form that takes, I'm easy!
(A beautiful little bit of Hell trauma, and Chuck knows I love me some Hell trauma.)
~~~
Untitled by TORATIO
Prompt: Sam knows that Jack is a precious cinnamon roll, but sometimes, Jack just makes a certain expression, or the light catches his eyes just right, or something, and Sam can't help but see Lucifer
(More fantastic Hell trauma, with bonus Jack and a good dollop of caring Dean.)
~~~
Timberland by CROWROAD3
Prompt: Wounded Sam being tracked through a forest by Demon Dean.
(Written for my prompt, so you know it's a little fucked up, and written by Crowroad3, so you know it's gorgeous.)
~~~
The Hearts of the Fathers by keepcalmsmile
Prompt: Reverse Mystery Spot situation: Dean is the one who has to watch Sam die repeatedly, for whatever reason. Season, cause, etc., all up to author!
(Just some truly amazing hurt!Sam from Dean's POV, with a bonus Sam POV follow-up that's full of the emotional fallout of the events in the first fic. So goddamn good.)
~~~
A Soul for a Soul by HOLLYHOBBIT42
Prompt: In the cage, Lucifer offered Sam and Adam the same deal Alistair offered Dean: he'll stop torturing them if they torture each other. Sam doesn't take it. Adam does.
(A fascinating prompt and a beautifully painful result.)
Please give yourself the holiday gift of reading these fics, and be sure to check out the others as well!
