Headhunters (Gen)
In response to this awesome prompt by rokhal:
Now that Azazel's plot and the Vessel thing have blown over, Sam has no purpose in the grand scheme of things. From a human perspective, he's a free man. From a grand mysterious being from the beyond's perspective, he's unclaimed ordinance. Everything wants a piece of him. Some beings send him job offers. Some send him offers he can't refuse. A few send him offers too good to turn down.

Job Offer #3
Samuel,
I'm sure you've grown weary of the world you call home. You and your brother have saved it time and time again, and yet have never received the praise you so richly deserve. I'd like to invite you both to my kingdom. I could use your assistance with a certain beast that has been plaguing my people.
You will be richly rewarded.
Please consider my offer, and enjoy this gift of handmade Turkish Delight,
Her Imperial Majesty Jadis, Queen of Narnia

Job Offer #4
Sam,
We could use a guy like you.
What can we offer? What can't we offer!
Join us and you'll have everything - omnipotence, omniscience and even more importantly - you'll have me as a friend!
I'll show you the ropes, and give you a personal tour of every universe, every time, every dimension you've ever wanted to see (and I'll even take you to the Continuum itself!)
Don't be like Riker,
Q
***************************************************
Job Offer #5
Sam Winchester,
Normally, I like to just drop in and introduce myself in person. In your case, however, I fear that would endanger me. Your brother and you tend to stab first and ask questions later - much like someone else I know...she's very fond of hacking away at things too.
I'd like you to consider a career in vengeance. It's been your primary directive on more than one occasion now, and watching you work - quite frankly- gave me the shivers. I'll provide you with immortality, power, and a condo in Arashmahaar (and if you know anything about the market right now, you'll understand what a generous offer that is!)
When you're ready to talk, hold the amulet I've included and give us a chant.

Sam,
We need to talk. Give me a call.

The avalanche came and yet the pebble remains.
Realize we are not alone.
We have always been here.
You have always been here.
I will teach you, about you.
***************************************************
Job Offer # 8
To Sam Winchester-
Though you know not who I am, I hope you will be sympathetic to our plight.
My King was always a just man, a reasonable man, but I fear he is no longer.
His mind has been corrupted by the Red Lady! She who births shadows and sees death in flame.
I've been told you have power over shadows and are yourself a seer.
I have nothing to offer you but the eternal gratitude of all of Westeros which would cry out for help if it still could.
Find me in the woods of Cape Wrath.
Davos Seaworth
Lord of the Rainwood, Admiral of the Narrow Sea and Hand of the King

Job Offer (?) # 9 (attached to this job offer is an advertisement for a night club "The Raven" )
Samuel,
You are not one of them. Their rules do not apply to you. You keep going through the motions, acting like nothing has changed -- like you're still human, but you're not, are you? You're more like me than you'd care to admit.
I know you seek guidance. You seek redemption. You remind me very much of someone who was very dear to me once. He never let go of his guilt, and it brought him to his end.
When you're ready, I'll be here.
