Puddles by
i_speak_tongueGen, Dean & Sam
A coda to Faith. The scene(s) between Dean electrocuting himself and the cut to Sam in the hospital. Basically, I want Sam to freak out about finding his brother motionless in the basement, hovering when the ambulance arrives, when they first get to the hospital... Along those lines.
The Stars At The End of the Longest Day by
sailoreyes67It's the fourth of July, and Dean is in the hospital. Sam smuggles him gently onto the roof to watch the local fireworks display.
The Climb by
crowley_galWarning: amputation
This is Dean's first summer after he lost his [insert limb of choice, leg preferred obbbbbvvvvi], and his prosthetic whatever is extremely sweaty and itchy and really starting to bug him, but he's too embarrassed/confused/annoyed to bring it up. Sam is researchy and awesome and maybe there's some talcum powder involved somewhere. Gen or wincest, whatever!

One thing about hell is that it was really hot and dry, and kinda, in some places, like the horror-version of a desert. Once Dean's back, it's not much of a problem; they happen to pick hunts in colder regions most of the time, and if they do end up somewhere summery, he can bottle it up well enough. Until they stumble upon a hunt in New Mexico (or, you know, wherever) in the middle of summer, and get lost in the desert... To make matters even worse, feel free to throw in a heatstroke? Ahem. XD

Sam/Dean during a massive heatwave! Dean is laid up in a motel room with some sort of lingering illness or injury and Sam helps him kill the time by taking cool showers and bringing him ice from the ice machine - ice-play? Etc.

Five out of Five by
beth_summergen
AU. Dean was born deaf, and when he's in his 20's he gets a cochlear implant, which allows him to hear for the first time in his life. Sam is there with him as he listens to Led Zeppelin and he hears his brothers voice and his baby's growl for the first time, and it's an emotional time for both brothers as Sam tells him everything he is hearing. ~~ For summer, it can be 4th july and Sam takes him to see the huge fireworks display, which for the first time, Dean can hear.
Untitled by
krhlvsdestielGen. Dean survived a lot more than he logically could have, But even he has a breaking point. And the day comes when he is just... done. Dean doesn't get out of --- (whatever triggers this) crazy, or cursed, or even badly wounded. He just becomes withdrawn, silent, and kind of ... gone. Hauled up in a sad little motel in the stifling heat, Sam has to coax his brother out of his barely-responsive (if that) shell every single day: to get out of bed. To take a shower. To eat. Outside he can hear screams and laughter from the pool, it's sunny and bright and they need to go, they really need to go, or at least draw back the shades. But it's like his brother is encased in cement.

It's not summer. It's early February and the snow's knee-deep. Little Dean's got a fever and Sammy's worried, but John's not. Dean's a tough kid. He'll be fine. At least, that's what he thinks - until Dean starts talking about the summer weather and how he wants to go out and play. Then he starts getting a little worried.
Playing Fetch by
sameuspegasusDean/Lisa (pretty much gen), G
How about some Dean/Lisa love? Dean has some sort of weird, slightly crack curse that manifests every summer solstice (or other summer related date!). Normally, Sam is around to help him through it, but this year Sam is in Hell. So it falls to Lisa to... lend girl-Dean some clothes? Babysit de-aged Dean? Take dog-Dean for a walk? Whatever the curse is! Dean is all sad and missing Sam, but also worried about making Lisa look after him and whether or not she'll accept whatever weirdness ensues!

Stung by
tattooeddevilDean, Sam, John, PG-13
It's a hot summer day. The boys are goofing off out in the wilderness. Teen!Dean is showing off for Sam by climbing a tree when he encounters a wasp's nest, and when they start stinging he looses his balance and falls. Maybe breaks his arm, or hits his head? Pick your poison.

Dean thinks he's Allan a Dale. Is he possessed? Is he cursed? Is he just crazy? Sam doesn't know, but he's got to fix it before "Sumer Is Icumen In" joins "Heat of the Moment" on his list of songs he never wants to hear again....
Fireflies by anon
Future. Sam and Dean settle down and Sam convinces Dean to finally man up and get some PT for the knee that hasn't bent right since he got back from Purgatory. One of the only real full-body exercises Dean can do under his doctor's orders is swimming... so they join a community pool, where Dean starts swimming his slow, painful laps under the watchful eye of the Marco-Polo-playing neighborhood kids, while Sam turns his charm on the neighborhood parents, who are only too happy to share their beer and babysitting horror stories. Good cheer and barbecues ensue.

When Sammy was Twenty-Four by
badbastionSam&Dean, h/c-gen, PG-13 for injuries and language
Dean gets run down by a vengeful spirit on wheels while walking down a country road. He supposes he should climb out of the ditch and find Sam. But it's cool down there in the shade and he can't seem to talk his body into moving. So he decides he'll just wait for Sammy - sasquatches like to roam in the country, right?

Erase My Pain with Your Body: Vignettes from the Torture Chamber by
snapelikeSam/Dean, NC-17. Warnings: Torture--explicit.
Remember S4? Yeah. Post-Hell here I come... When Dean's pulled out of Hell, it's obviously September and that's still considered Summer in the northern hemisphere. Suppose there's fallout from Hell - maybe Dean's body can't deal with heat anymore and he sweats and shakes and all of those things when it's above a certain temperature. Also? The hazy, hot, humid days? Remind him a lot of Hell. Cue in tender Sammeh and cold water bottles and being all intuitive and caring.

Sam/Dean, PG
Dean and Sam have settled down and Dean is SO EXCITED when they get their very own barbecue. But the first time he uses it he gets food poisoning. ;_; Or maybe it explodes in his face. I'm always inordinately terrified my bbq's going to explode in my face.
Homemade pickles by
marieincolourgen, rated g, warnings for epilepsy
The boys have settled down and Dean is growing veggies in the backyard and is doing it with the same passion that he had for the Impala. He can't drive anymore (busted leg, shattered knee, take your pick) and Sam is out on a hunt and not back yet. So Dean worries, does his gardening on a hot summer day and the 13 year old boy in the neighbourhood (who reminds him of Ben) wonders about them, what they do and whether Dean requires any help.
Don't Let Me Go by
sailoreyes67Sam/Dean. Warnings: post-hell issues, vaguely reminiscent of dub-con.
Dean has nightmares and Sam decides that spooning up behind Dean in bed is the only way to get his brother to relax enough to go to sleep.
The Winchester Guide to Fine Dining for the Gastronomically Challenged by
angeltrapDean, Sam; PG-13; gen
Sam and Dean clear out a ghost for a rich business guy, who rewards them very generously. They go out for supper at this fancy coastal seafood restaurant (because it's summer), and Dean is so distracted by the unusually upscale environment that he accidentally eats something with shrimp in it and goes into anaphylactic shock. Cue freaking out customers and frantic Sam trying to find the epipen. And maybe afterwards Dean is all woozy and clingy from oxygen deprivation <3

Hunger's Pain by
lexophiliaDean; Sam; PG-13; gen
Dean and Sam are camping (probably for a hunt) when a bear breaks into their cooler and steals all their beer and also the sandwiches Sam made JUST THE WAY DEAN LIKES SCREW YOU BEAR. Dean is epically angsty. And hungry.
Lemonade, 50 Cents by anonymous
Sam; Dean; PG-13; non-sexual catheter use
It's sweltering outside and Dean is drinking bottle after bottle of water to try and stay cool but he later finds that he can't pee. Sam finally drags him to the hospital and Dean has his first encounter with a foley catheter. Can be supernatural or a medical problem causing Dean's condition.
Hide in the Lights by
purple_carpetsSam, Dean; gen
Kid!Sam talks teen!Dean into taking him to the pool/lake/beach. Dean is all bruised up from their last hunt. People jump to conclusions (hey, they've all been yelled at by the boys' asshole dad, it's not like anybody's really surprised).
Kind of nice by
marieincolourGen, G. Warnings: Medical use of various tubes and catheters and whatnot, paralysis.
Dean has some kind of monster venom in him from their latest hunt that is making him ridiculously weak and headachy and feverish and dizzy. And he keeps getting weaker. According to the lore, the venom kills you by making you so weak you can't eat. So as Dean slowly weakens-from being unable to open heavy doors, to unable to walk, to unable to do much more than whisper and raise a few fingers-Sam finds a place for them to settle in and gathers supplies. And just before Dean is so weak he can't even suck on a straw, Sam attaches Dean to an IV and a feeding tube, and all that other downstairs junk (which you can totally gloss over lalala!) and tries to keep him as comfortable as possible and it's really fucking hard and emotionally draining for both of them. And after two very long weeks, Dean slowly starts to get better, but that takes a while too.

With a Whimper by
balder12Dean, Cas, OC, gen, PG-13, (warning: nongraphic harm to a child)
Dean and Cas make some kind of life in Purgatory. They share the responsibility of looking after a young shifter who never seems to age and as hard as it is, as mean as life can be, as deadly and heartbreaking as it is, it's not all bad, even though something seems to tearing purgatory apart, something that's making the water dry up, making large swathes of land vanish and everything with it. What's happening is Sam trying to break a way through to get his brother out. And when he's there, when they're face to face, Dean's overjoyed. He's missed Sam, he's needed him, and he's ready to go back, he IS going back because no matter what life they've tried to make, it's not where they belong. But the child shifter cannot come with him and leaving him/her is the hardest thing. Especially since no one, not Dean, not Cas, and not Sam who's wrecked worlds to get his brother back, knows what purgatory will be like when they leave, if it will heal or continue to bake and die in the unforgiving heat.

Maladjusted by
marieincolourSam/Dean; Rated M
So, Dean has this thing, with fevers. They kind of... turn him on. Because they mean Sam (or whoever) takes care of him a bit, which embarrasses him horribly but is kind of nice at the same time. More than nice. Part of him craves it. And Sam/whoever is about to figure this out, since why else would someone with a fever want to have sex in the middle of a heat-wave? And Sam/whoever finding out about this is EVEN MORE embarrassing. And also hot. Idek, guys. Maybe it could be fever!sex in the shower? Because shower!sex is awesome toooooo.

sailoreyes67 Beach Time by
summerholtSam and Dean, Gen
After wrapping up a case somewhere warm and near the sea, Sam demands that they take a day off and go to the beach. Dean isn't trilled because a) sun = lobster red Dean and more stupid freckles, and b) he's all bruised and cut from being tossed around by the ghost/whatever while Sam did some grave-digging, but goes anyway. Cue other beach-goers drawing their own conclusions about their (clearly abusive!) relationship based on Dean trying to hide under the sunshade, all dressed up (or shirtless if Sam talks him into taking it off), while Sam parades around in swim trunks. Bonus points for Sam being all bewildered at the dirty looks he keeps getting and then going on super-protective and caring mode when he realizes what they're thinking.
Six Degrees of Separation by

Dean cuddling Sam. Even though Sam is like a sweaty, living furnace, some bad shit has just gone down, and Dean needs to feel that Sam is here and alive.
Snow Angel by
balder12Dean/Cas, PG-13
So it's summertime, and Dean and Sam are stuck in a motel without air conditioning. Dean is sweaty and miserable (and maybe feverish, if that's your thing). Enter Castiel, who has the ability to regulate his body temperature to whatever without being affected! Instead of cuddling to exchange body heat, he and Dean cuddle for coolness.

That summer, after the events of "Swan Song", Dean wants the Samulet back as a connection to his baby brother. He asks Castiel to help him look for it, but no dice. Dean then correctly assumes that Sam must have taken it out of the trash, but it's not in Sam's stuff either. Turns out, Sam wore it (or had it with him) when he said yes to Lucifer so he'd have that connection to Dean, and still had it on him when he jumped into the Cage. (Maybe Sam wrote Dean a note?) Give me all the Dean feels when he figures this out; bonus points for making him cry.

Untitled by anon
Gen
So after all the massive massive stress of the last few years, Dean's gotten in the habit of assuming every physical ailment he has is stress related. Typically, they are. Until one day, something isn't. He starts getting sick and assumes it's another stress-related issue and promptly treats the symptoms (with alcohol and other drugs, if you like) and ignores it. But it doesn't go away. And then it starts getting worse. Now Dean's seen his body do some pretty weird stuff due to stress. So he's still convinced that what's going on is due to stress, even when it's taking a visible physical toll on his body. "C'mon Sammy, I lost like 40 pounds in two months when I was staying with Lisa. It happens." Sam, on the other hand, isn't buying it. And he's pushing pretty hard to get it checked out. But Dean won't budge. Until one day, he literally *can't* budge because his body just craps out on him. And Sam is all "Dammit Dean I TOLD YOU." And then they have to handle the situation and Dean realizes that it wasn't stress-related at all.
Untitled by
sparrow_latelySam, Dean; pre-series
Dean's anxious about something. That indeterminate feeling of wrongness (did he do something? did something happen? is it, in actuality, nothing, nothing at all?). So much so that he can't sleep, can't stay asleep, no matter how much he obviously needs it. And the humid summer nights aren't helping. How does Sam deal with this? Bonus points if Sam's solution is especially unconventional. How that's defined is up to you. ;P Even more bonus points if this whole episode isn't Hell/Purgatory related (what, whaaaat, i know)!
Double-Edged Knife by
3pomegranateGen, R. Warning: Unintentional self-harm.
Pre-series -- Dean is stuck in summer school after multiple moves put him far enough behind that he couldn't catch up. Sam, of course, didn't have any trouble. Sam helps Dean with his history paper because he's always been really good at writing under a deadline. But Sam wants something in return, a chance to do something grown-up with Dean (author's choice). Maybe this is the summer Dean decides to drop out. Maybe Sam and Dean have a knock-down drag-out fight over it.
Salt by
kallielSam, Dean; gen. Takes place sometime during S7.
Dean, Sam. Gen. The boys are both injured pretty bad and stranded out in the middle of nowhere with the car miles away and no working phones. Sam's unable to walk, so it's up to Dean to go find help. Dean has to travel miles in the sweltering summer heat to find help, and it only makes his own injuries worse. He ends up in worse shape than Sam by the time they get medical attention.
I Created the Sound of Madness by

It’s summer, they’re beat-up and filthy after a hunt, and they have no running water or at least no shower. Sam washes Dean’s hair for him - with a bucket of water and soap, or in a lake or some other body of water, or whatever. Hair-washing! *_*

Locked In by
3pomegranateSam, Dean; pre-series
Their dad is away on a hunt, and the boys are bored out of their sculls. Doing something outside is not an option, it's too hot. Sammy wants to play Hide n Seek, and Dean goes with it to stop Sam from his boredom. Dean hides in the closet or basement (or any enclosed space), but gets locked in and can't get himself out. Inside is horribly hot, and he can't stop sweating. Sam can't open the door from the other side either. John could make it on time, or Sam goes for help, whatever... just no death fic please!
Busted by
verucasalt123Sam and Dean settle down somewhere a few miles outside a small town, and everything's going okay until one night when Dean gets a DUI coming home from the bar. Not only does he lose his license and has to rely on Sam for transportation like an 11 year-old, but he also has to wear an alcohol-monitoring bracelet and go to classes about alcohol abuse. Needless to say, it doesn't go well. Sam is supportive but firm, helps him through detox and drives him anywhere he wants to go -- within reason. Actually, Sam kind of thinks the DUI might not be such a bad thing.

The Shape of Things to Come by
sparrow_latelyGen
Dean's back from Purgatory, and things are finally settling down. Except for one thing. See, Purgatory's full of monsters - a few ghosts, yeah, but no humans. It's been months (years?) since Dean's seen a human being, let alone talked to one or touched one. Every time he has to interact with anyone besides Sam, it feels like his soul's being dragged out of his chest Alien-style until he's legit weak and shaky and feverish just from the human contact. But talking to people is part of the job, and he's Dean friggin' Winchester, so he deals with it. Well - he thinks he's dealing, anyway. Turns out, not so much. They're investigating a haunting in an office complex full of people in suits with loud voices and high heels and lattes when Dean finally shakes one hand too many and goes into full-on panic mode - zoning out, hyperventilating, hiding in the bathroom, what have you. Sam's on top of it.

Untitled by
prufrock_26a wendigo and Dean (wendigo POV), PG-13 for general wrongness
Dean H/C from the monster's POV. I'd prefer it be a monster-monster, rather than a demon or something else with human/humanoid sentience. Also, for summer--the feel of grass in the heat, its wet breath. The way it licks against your body. The way it makes the air above it thick and humid, like you could tear it into layers and fold it into suffocating sheets.
Not Getting Attached by
darth_fireflyCurtain fic: Sam works days, Dean hustles pools at night when it's not an AA night or a good TV night or a night when he knows Sam's going to come home dripping sweat and exhausted. Dean sits on the stoop outside their city apartment building, rubbing his bum knee, drinking iced tea (and wishing like hell it was cold beer - and, shit, maybe sometimes it is), and waiting for Sam to come home. He's absolutely not making friends with scruffy, bag of bones cat that comes around on those days (most days?) when Dean's waiting for Sam. He's not saving treats and feeding it and he absolutely doesn't spend hours trying to get the boney little beast to trust him enough to give it a scritch behind the ears. Of course not. He's a dude. A man for God's sake. It's just something to take his mind off of everything and his aching damned knee. Right? Right.
The Thing With Feathers by
jalover7Sam+Dean gen, PG
Gen. We've seen Sam's psyche splitting when the Wall came down, but what if Dean went through the same thing after his return from Purgatory? Maybe Dean can't fully suppress his darker self after he has to let it out again to survive. You know, that part of him that we saw when he was torturing Alastair ("you make me walk through that door, you will not like what comes back out"), and it begins popping up again -- not necessarily going around torturing people, just that cold, dead-eyed, numb version of him. Maybe, once that door is open, things begin to unravel and other parts come out, too, like the soft, pained, terrified, and traumatized Dean that is always so neatly tucked away. Or something else entirely.

Arizona Is Hot and So Are You by
biketestSam/Dean, NC-17
They're stuck in the middle of Texas, and it is HOT. The motel they're in has a little pool outside. It also has a/c, but it can't seem to get the room below 90. Dean would love to just take a cold shower or lie in a cold bath, but he is laid up (broken leg, cracked/bruised ribs, threw out something in his back, anything that would keep him from being able to get up) so all he can do is listen to the three crappy channels on the tv and sweat. He's on the verge of just saying screw it, and risking further injury to get in the tub, but just then Sam gets back with lunch and a few sodas in a bucket of ice. He gives Dean a piece of ice to suck on, then dips his hands into the already-half-melted ice until he can barely feel them, they're so cold. Then he spreads his giant hands over Dean's body.
