Whump!bingo fic: To Be Alive (Sam/Annie, Brown Cortina)

[xysabridde]

Title: To Be Alive
Rating: Brown Cortina for Sam being a twonk when it comes to Road Safety (should've joined the Tufty Club -is shot-)
Word Count: 3,405
Notes: Uhm. I attempted Sam!whump. This was what happened. I picked the one prompt I got Sam!whump bunnies for, which was 'someone maimed/crippled', after writing Mad Dogs fic and Eng Lit essays

HNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

Bittersweet is the correct tag for this, yes. ;O; THAT WAS SO BITTERSWEET I CAN'T EVEN. I feel so sorry for Sam -- the happiness before that, and then the accident, and and and god the poor guy. But it's SO LOVELY to see that he can still do his job, even when he can't walk - especially where he tripped that one goon up, that was BRILLIANT.

Also, the way you write Sam/Annie is so adorable. You have Annie's character down so well especially! And her shrieking at the doctors, I can so imagine that, it's awesome.

In short, I love love LOVE this. And I can't get any more coherrent than this cos it's nearly 2AM and I'm sobering down from a Gin Tonic and really should go to bed. xD but THANK YOU for posting this, it was such a fantastic read. <333333333333

... *passes paracetamol* ;)

I hoped so xD It was pretty much my first ever proper attempt at Sam/Annie, so I'm glad I got them right. Annie was huge fun to write!

Hope you've, er, come down now. :P Thank you so so much!!

Gah this was awful! I don't mean in that way though, like the story was really really really good XD. Poor Sammy :((. I don't know if I could ever deal with something like that. And the bittersweet moment at the end, with Sam being so proud of himself for taking down one of the guys. Sniffle.

I liked the Sam/Annie element you had in there too. They're really just so cute together, the two of them. And how she stayed with him, yelling at the doctors and keeping him comfortable. She's so sweet. And Gene, staying there with Sammy but not wanting him to know. Gah. I don't even know XD. Great story though; wonderful use of the prompt.

It wasn't, erm, pleasant to do this to him... but I chose a blackout, so a blackout I will do. Thank you hugely, and I hope you enjoyed it a little bit!!

This is wonderfulllllllllllll! So sad, and yet... at the end, full of hope. I don't know how to describe it XD it's so ironic and sad that the thing that took Sam down was a second car accident - But! He's surrounded by the people he loves, still able to go with Gene for surveillance.... And his attitude at the end was just.... <33333333333333

It's sad but also happy! Lovely lovely EMOTION-CONFUSION! XD This is brilliant, as always :D

[xysabridde]

EMOTION-CONFUSION should be a tag somewhere in this fandom. There's so bloody much of it. xDDD

Awwwww Fern thank you!! Thank you :D Now back to Gene!whump, where I am so much more comfortable...

I really enjoyed reading this, what a good way to solve the prompt! I love how this is positive and warm in spite of the horrible thing happening to Sam, not to mention Gene waiting around and being mistaken for a cousin, Annie being all lovely and sweet, and Chris yelping. :D

[xysabridde]

Aww, thanks Gorrlaus! I'm really glad it worked for you :)

Holy crap, xys, there's a lot going on here! Firstly a whole pile of adorable Sam/Annie, which I love you for--secondly there's the emotional whumpage of the dead drug user and the Stuart connection, and then Sam musing about life and what makes it worth living, and the bittersweet thoughts of Ruth... And the Sam whump hit me like a ton of bricks!

But lovely ending in which love and companionship keep making life worth living!

Adorable? Literally my first ever attempt at Sam/Annie, but something must've worked. Thank you!!

Seriously, thank you so hugely much :) (And for Hang On To Yourself. I mean, seriously. How talented are you two. :D)
