Summary: Mere minutes after the final Seal is broken, Sam decides to sacrifice himself in order to keep Lucifer bound. Subsequently, he falls into a coma for years, and Dean waits by his side for much of that time, desperately hoping that he'll wake up. While Sam rests inert and immovable, Dean speaks more words to him daily than he ever did when Sam could respond, and grapples with feelings that he didn't realize he had.

Original Prompt:
S1054
Title of prompt: A Binding Sacrifice
Rating of Art: PG-13
Characters: Sam Winchester, Dean Winchester
Short description of art: Sam willingly gave his life to become the final seal to bind Lucifer in Hell forever. Dean, bound to Sam, becomes his Guardian. No monster that tries to free Him is safe…Then, 18 years pass. Dean is tired and lonely. “I miss you so much Sammy. You’ve given enough. You’ve done your time. Let’s fight, together like we used to. Sam. It’s time to wake up…”
So I've had this idea for a really long time and I wanted to try it as a prompt this year. The idea was inspired by the game "Drakengard" where a dragon and human bind to each other. At the end of the game the dragon becomes a seal to keep the world at peace and the monsters out. But the human (Kaim) still had a bond with the dragon and lived a lonely 18 years before he could release the dragon and become one again.
Anyways, I thought it would be neat if Sam did something similar and became a seal while bound to Dean, but Dean became his protector. He fights to keep the monsters away from Sam, and had gotten several close calls, hence the scarring around his eye. After several years he is just done being lonely, so he wakes up Sam and together they deal with the fallout. And then it kindof evolved from there. Here's some dialogue I wanted to include with my prompt, but it wouldn't have worked out.
Sam…
18 years Sammy. It’s been 18 long years.
I’ve forgotten the sound of your voice-
the color of your eyes-
the touch of your body beneath mine.
All I have now is that stupid green wrap you wore all the time,
tattered-
faded.
…
You gave your life Sam, to protect the world.
You became the seal to bind Lucifer to Hell.
He is locked away -
And yet they still come-
but nothing, no monster, can’t ever break me!
…
I’ve fought for so long to keep you safe.
The seal over my heart bounds me to you. To protect you at all costs.
But I’m tired.
I miss you so much Sammy.
You’ve given enough. You’ve done your time.
Screw the rest of the world.
Let’s fight, together like we used to.
Sam.
It’s time to wake up…
So anyways, please read and enjoy "Higher Order Concerns."
