comment fic meme!

Following the results of the poll we took last month (don't make it easy on us or anything, guys, haha!), we've decided to hold a comment fic meme once every three months. This gives everyone time to write and prompt to their heart's content, and allows us mods to keep up with y'all. And we're starting right now!

As more and more of his consciousness returns to him, Sam shakes his head to dislodge the last of the horrendous hallucinations. “What the fuck just happened?” Dean presses Sam back against the shoddily made motel bed and gives a weak, exhausted imitation of his macho smile.

“I hauled your gargantuan ass into the Impala, out of the Impala, into this room, into the bathroom, and into bed, all without breaking a sweat. I swear, they should give me some sort of Olympic medal for that shit.” Dean pauses to laugh, but the sound is choked and strained. “Why didn’t you tell me it was that bad, you asshole? You clocked out at 104.7, which is so beyond the realm of covering up it’s not even close to funny. You should have told me--”

A smear of a giggle oozes out of the corner of Sam’s dry, cottony mouth and puddles on his stained t-shirt. “Dude, I told you so many times that I wanted to stay home. You called me Samantha, and said that only pansy girls got the flu. You cannot even attempt to pin this on me,” Sam insists, as his hand connects with a glass of lukewarm water and brings it to his lips, hands trembling with exertion.

“Whatever, man. As soon as you’ve kicked this My Little Pony, rainbow-spewing nonsense, we’ve still gotta go clean out that poltergeist.” For a moment, it seems as if Dean’s hands will reach for Sam’s head, card through his baby brother’s hair as they did so often when they were younger.

The tender moment is shattered when Sam lets out a tremendous, retching cough that sets all his joints to aching simultaneously. Dean’s common sense returns to him in a flash, and he shoves his traitorous fingers into his pockets, propelling himself out into the kitchen to ‘fetch Her Royal Highness some tomato and rice soup, with an ice cube if she asks very sweetly’.

Sam pretends he’s not imagining a soft body at his side, curly blonde hair brushing against his cheek, warming up his icy bones and chasing away the chill that’s settled below his sternum. She’s gone, anyways.

Still, Dean returns with a bowl of carefully chilled soup and a spoon, only to find Sam slumbering peacefully, arms twined around a pillow and murmuring something that sounds suspiciously like ‘Jess’ under his breath. If Dean were feeling particularly cruel, he’d shake Sam awake, prod him into eating, call him a few more names before letting him drift back off. Isn’t it time the kid got to have a happy dream, though?

Dean leaves the soup on the nightstand, and lets Sam continue his sojourn from the world.

Oh, Sam. Poor puppy.

And the hallucinations are awesome. Ravens, people, extra doors. Still, he figures it out in the end!

I quite like writing hallucinations, even if I have trouble writing reactions to them, so I'm glad it worked out reasonably well! Thanks for reading :D

Having had hallucinations due to a fever, I can say you nailed it.
It's hard to know wht's real and what's not. Even when I KNEW that pillow wasn't really there, I kept reaching for it. Although, I was pretty sure the melting gift-bag was a hallucination, since it was floating in midair and changing from green to purple as it melted. :P

Awww! This is lovely and perfect and sweet. I love the mixture of exasperated and worried and teasing in Dean, and Sam blundering through hallucinations to get to him so that he can rescue and get rescued. I am so glad you wrote this for me.

Thank you so much! I was happy to write it - the prompt was really great and right up my alley, and I had a great time with it. I see that exasperated-covering-up-worry-with-humor thing a lot in Dean, and I'm sort of surprised it doesn't come up more often in fic. Again, thanks :3

Awww, Sammy. *snuggles*

Gotta admit though, I totally laughed out loud at “G’way, little girl. It’s naptime.” LOLOL.

I sort of chuckled when writing it, despite the subject matter and despite that I don't normally laugh at my own lines.

Doesn't Sammy always need a good snuggle? Poor guy. We fans sure do love to torture him! Thanks for reading :D

Scary, funny, and tender all at once, that's not an easy trick o pull off. Wicked hallucinations! I had trouble sorting out what was real. (That's not a bad thing.)
