Safe

Summary: “Imagine having a nightmare and Dean holding you until you fall back asleep.”

Note: [You know that thing artists do, where they re-make a piece of art? I decided to do something like that but with rewriting one of my old one shots. From seven years ago. Yikes.]

I bolt upright in bed, adrenaline pumping through me. My heart is pounding so hard I can hear it, can feel its beat throughout my whole body.

Just a nightmare, I tell myself. Just a nightmare.

But though the dream was fake, the memory is real. And the fear, the fear is definitely real.

“Sweetheart?” I feel a hand brush across my lower back and jump. “Woah, sweetie. It’s okay.”

Little Brother

Summary: Dean finds out Sam is a guy. He doesn’t get it, but he’s going to try.

--- 

It’s almost nine at night when Dean gets back with the burgers he’d bought with the money he’d made hustling pool at a bar earlier.

When he opens the door, he’s not surprised to see Sam doing pushups in the open space on the floor. The girl’s got an unhealthy obsession with exercise. She looks up at Dean and gives a quick smile, but doesn’t stop working out.

“You know, Sammy, guys aren’t going to be interested in you if you bulk up too much,” Dean points out, setting the burgers on the table and slouching into one of the chairs.

Caretaker

Summary: Kevin is sick, and Sam is determined to take care of him until he's better. Kevin's too sleepy to keep his subconscious in check, and he accidentally reveals that he has a crush on Sam.

It’s just past two A.M. When they pull back into the bunker’s garage, Sam and Dean in the front seat, Kevin asleep in the back.

“Hey Kev, we’re back,” Sam calls over his shoulder as he climbs out of the car.

Silence. Kevin’s still fast asleep.

Sam opens the back door and shakes Kevin’s shoulder. Nothing. “Kevin?” He straightens up and looks at Dean.

“Dude’s been awake for three straight days,” Dean says with a shrug. “Can’t blame him for not wanting to wake up.”

“Well, do we just leave him here?” Sam asks.

“I don’t know, do you want to try smelling salts? Or, carry him inside and put him to bed like a toddler?”

Dean’s joking but Sam frowns, thinking about it. Kevin really does deserve better than being left in the bunker’s garage overnight.

He bends down again and shakes Kevin, a little stronger this time. “Okay, Kevin, I’m going to pick you up.” No response, so Sam scoops him up and carries him princess style. Sam’s got nine inches and about fifty pounds of muscle on him, so Kevin’s slim weight feels like nothing.

“I see we’re taking the sleepy toddler route,” Dean says as he holds open the bunker’s door for Sam.

Kevin’s eyes slowly blink open just around the time Sam reaches Kevin’s room. “My prince charming,” he sighs, before drifting off again.

How Many Hunters Does It Take to Exorcize a Demon?

Summary: Dean forgot the words to the exorcism spell. Sam can't speak. They work with what they've got.

Note: Part of the mute!Sam series, same timeline as “Voiceless”

They had the demon right where they wanted it, stuck in the middle of a Devil’s trap in the middle of this half-rotten abandoned house. Its human host, a pudgy middle-aged man, was—they were pretty sure—still living, so all they had to do was exorcise it.

“You’re headed straight back to hell,” Dean said, walking in a slow circle around the demon. He took a deep breath. One simple spell, and this demon’s day would be ruined for good. “Exorcize... Exorcizas te…” What were the next words? Dean glanced sheepishly at Sam.

You forgot the words, Sam signed to him. No raised eyebrows indicating a question. Just a flat statement.

Sam Winchester Appreciation Week ➤ Day 3: Favorite Headcanon    ↳ Christian Sam

(Thanks @nephilimjack​ for the headcanon suggestions)

Summary: Despite his family's beliefs, Sam has always been religious.

Sam is eight.

He’s walking home from school, back to the motel that Dad had dropped him and Dean off at. He passes by that church again, and hesitates, like he has every day for the past two weeks.

Don’t be dumb, Sam. God’s not real. Dean had told him that when he’d asked last year, but Sam could feel that it wasn’t true. 

Voiceless

Summary: 13-year-old Sam has permanently lost his voice. He's frustrated by his inability to talk, so he looks for a solution.

"I'm just saying, if it came down to it, Batman could definitely beat Superman in a fight," Dean said to Sam. They were hanging out in the apartment Dad had left them at, reading (and now arguing over) the latest issues of some of the comics they were able to shoplift from the store down the street.

Sam shook his head and scribbled something on the notepad in front of him. He'd lost his voice after his vocal cords had been damaged in an altercation with a witch two weeks ago—almost definitely for good, as far as they could tell—and he was still getting adjusted to it.

A Second Chance

“Um… hey,” Sam says from my doorway, as I’m sitting on my bed reading. “Can I come in?”

I glance up at him. “Yeah, of course. What’s up?”
