Rather a Story

Title: … I Am
Summary: Sam isn't quite himself anymore. Dean stays anyway.
Characters: Sam, Dean, Sam and Sam
Rating: PG-13
Wordcount: 2,626
Disclaimer: Playing in Gamble's sandbox before the new season starts. No profit, no harm intended, etc.
Warnings: graphic imagery, self-harm, mental illness
Neurotic Author's Note #1: Written for summer_sam_love for a couple of prompts by cordelia_gray. The first prompt asked for a post-fall-of-the-Wall!Sam with enhanced and uncontrolled powers/migraines, and the second asked for a Sam lost in his own mind, with Dean going in (perhaps by dreamwalking) in order to help him sort himself out. This is the unrecognisable bastard child of those two prompts, with a bit of acid and Doctor Seuss thrown in for good measure.
Neurotic Author's Note #2: Dear cordelia_gray, I am sorry. There is very little 'c' in this particular h/c story. I hope you still like it anyway. /o\

Title: In the End
Summary: Sam is going to save the world.
Characters: Sam, Dean, Jimmy, Amelia and Claire and assorted demons.
Rating: PG-13, for the whole demon-blood-thing and adult themes
Wordcount: 1,321
Disclaimer: It grieves me that I have yet to find a way to make it all mine. In the meantime, please don't sue.
Neurotic Author's Note #1: Written for the summer_sam_love's Summer of Sam challenge. I am a masochist and picked an episode in which Sam doesn't figure much, because I thought it would be, well, a challenge. And it was. Holy hell. I hope I pulled off something decent, because I'm sort of not sure about this.
Neurotic Author's Note #2: Okay, so I have NO visual skills whatsoever, but I recently got Photoshop and I got kind of excited about it, and then while I was struggling with this fic I thought to myself: “Hey, why don't I try making an image to go with the fic?” And so I fiddled with it and made a picture. My PS skills are limited, but I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out. So, y'know, it's a bonus. Of sorts. Click on the picture for a larger version.

Title: Time Out
Summary: Sam kind of maybe has a little meltdown after the events of "Simon Said," courtesy of an ill-timed migraine. Dean helps, because that's what big brothers are for. Written for summer_sam_love's Summer of Sam's project to produce fanworks for each and every episode of SPN, featuring Sam.
Warnings/Spoilers: Spoilers up to 2.5 "Simon Said." Swearing, and shameless, shameless h/c.
Wordcount: 3,369
Neurotic Author's Note: I fiddled with this until I went cross-eyed, but there's really no good way to convey a migraine in text form. So, this is my best attempt at that. Other than that, I have not much to say, for once. Don't worry, I'm sure it won't last. ;)
