Title: If I Die Before I Wake…
Prompt: Written for

faithburke's prompt Sam always knew he had a mother right next to him. He never realized she was dead. This story… isn't quite that, but I hope it comes close enough.
Characters: Sam, Dean, John, Mary
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: Canonical Character Death. Major Character Death.
Neurotic Author's Note: I would like to thank the indefatigable

rainylemons, without whom this fic would not be possible. She held my hand the entire way and didn't let me freak out when I started over what felt like a million times. I'd like to thank her and

yasminke for betaing the crap out of this thing, and turning it into a much better story in the process. I of course tweaked it after they were done, so all remaining mistakes are mine.

Dear Summergen Author,

Doubtless by now you have received my prompts. I hope you haven't freaked out and run screaming for the hills, because I don't want this to be a stressful experience for you.

For one thing, my prompts are not meant to be binding. They are meant to be a springboard for your imagination. If you see a prompt and think: "Whoa, what if it's like what she's asking for, but instead there's $reallycooltwist instead?" then go for that. Seriously, turn my prompts on their heads, make 'em do complicated yoga poses and twist themselves into unrecognizable pretzels of their formers selves.

If none of my prompts speaks to you, and I totally understand that, here are a few bullet-proof ways to make me the happiest camper ever.

( What I hope is a helpful list )

And that's it! Just have fun with it, I know I will love whatever you come up with. :)
