"You Only Hurt the One You Love" Meme!

Alright, everyone, it’s nearly Valentine’s Day! You know what this means? It’s the perfect opportunity to show our love for our favorite Winchester by doing what we do best - hurting him, maiming him, making him sick, putting him through emotional torture. Y’know, the usual.

Welcome to ohsam’s “You Only Hurt the One You Love” meme!

Feeling broken

Filled: Pieces

The mug flies across the room, crashes into the wall and shatters into a thousand jagged pieces, coffee dregs dripping sluggishly down the vintage tile

Oh man. This is absolutely gorgeous. It's the exact emotion I was hoping for when I prompted this, feeling broken and not being able to change it or talk about it--but you took it even more literally than my brain had and turned it into this beautiful piece. All the extreme descriptions with the coffee cup, Sam's fixation on it and how emotions in him built to that moment and what it symbolizes... and Dean just thinks of it as a startling thing that's happened out of nowhere, like it couldn't possibly be because Sam can't talk, because that's nothing new. But just because you've accepted a disability doesn't mean anger and emotion can't flood over you at once at random times or even always be in you. And Sam trying to communicate what he's feeling is so beautiful and terrible. I could hear that thump against his chest. So much emotion. Gorgeous writing. I love this. I plan to read it a dozen times today.

This definitely is an excellent example of the community's name. Oh Sam!

Thanks! I'm so glad you liked it. You know those moments when you get an image in your head, and for one brief moment in time you're able to run with it and feel like everything just clicks right into place? I had that here, so that's for the awesome prompt.

Thank you for the lovely feedback! :)

I wrote this as a companion piece to my other commentfic, "Still." And now I'm starting to really enjoy aphasia!Sam and am tempted to start a whole series. Oooh, this is dangerous...
