'Half the Man'Characters: Sam 'n Dean, a pinch of Kevin and Missouri
Wordcount: ~5,200
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: four-letter words, much blood, spoilers for Season Eight
Summary: Nothing is certain but change. The angels are falling, Dean has the King of Hell in his trunk and a pissed-off prophet to placate, but Sam isn't even close to right. When it rains, it bloody well pours.
Notes: Written for
ladykorana's prompt at
ohsam: “What if the trials really did purge Sam of demon blood? But what if the demon blood was giving him huge advantages in health growing up (height, immune system boost, etc.)? Now without it, even recovered from the Trials, his immune system is just not what it used to be, and he catches every little cold and flu going around. And maybe takes longer to recover from injuries as well." I only got through half the prompt, but it works. I think. Maybe. Much love to my team of generous betas:
nwspaprtaxis,
amber1960,
monicawoe, and to
honeylocusttree for her patient brainstorming. It truly does take a village.
Dean hauled Sam into the salvation of the Impala and drove with an urgency that bordered on the manic.
