It took him a few years to see the pattern, but there it is. It's June 15th and Sam's been off for a few days. Just like last year and the year before and the year before that. Dean's not entirely sure how far back it goes, but he is determined to find out. Sam being off usually means he needs to be more alert and more on his toes, but that's not the main reason he needs to find out what's going on with Sam. He hates seeing his little brother down in the dumps like he is right now and he'll do anything to make him feel better.
Like clockwork, every year around June 10th, Sam starts to withdraw from the world. It's a slow process, not something obvious unless you're looking real close. And Dean is looking real close. That's how he sees the change in Sam come June 10 and on. He sleeps late, gets up way past nine when he's usually up and at 'em at seven. Dark circles start to form around his eyes, his skin pales, making him look sick. He stops smiling. His shoulders slump and

Part 2/2Another long silence follows Dean question, both of them unmoving on the couch. Sam staring at his hands, Dean afraid to scare Sam off. When Sam speaks next, his voice is so soft and sad, Dean has to strain his ears to hear

I honestly can't decide if I'm more excited one of my prompts got filled, or sad about poor broken Sammy.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for this - it was perfect. I really wish we'd get some good brotherly schmoop like this on the show - tears and hugs and everything :)
T_T This is trully heartbreaking. Oh, my heart. Now I REALLY REALLY REALLY want to read a verse were Sam and Jess do have a baby and there's uncle Dean and Grandpa John and uncle Bobby and they all live happily ever after. *wibbles*
I am going to take that as a compliment :P I don't know if I'll be any good with curtain!fic, but there are some amazing curtain!fic writers out there who might be up for it? *hint-hint* :)
You most definately should take it as a compliment, I loved the fic. :-) Ooh, I wonder if there are any curtain!fic like that out there anywhere?! Or where might be a good place to prompt such a thing. Hmm... I guess I could ask on storyfinders and then if none, leave a plot bunny post here at ohsam (of course I'd have to work some hurt!Sam into it somehow :- ) ). Ok, sorry, I'm sort of rambling out loud, LOL, I'll be quiet now. :-)
I know there are a lot of curtain!fic out there, but they're mostly scattered throughout the different communities. I think posting on storyfinders is best, or surf through a few masterlists of comment fic memes. A do leave prompts any- and everywhere!! :D
