Understood? So, what’s it gonna be?
all hail the boy king and his scruff
Desperate Sam - His last-ditch attempt to save Dean.
jack sam HAS FAITH IN YOU
I really, really like that Jack’s positive flashbacks are of Sam. That makes me happy.
I don’t care what anything in canon says SAM IS JACK’S DAD.
I see your 'sam is jack's dad' and raise you 'jack sees sam as a dad but sam sees jack as the baby brother he's always wanted to be able to raise and care for and he lost adam too quickly but now he has jack and he is damn well going to Do Right By Him'.
someone give sam winchester a hug and tell him he is worthy
there’s nothing they can’t accomplish together
I love this as a thing that hypothetically could have happened. But I also love that it is Sam's dream and Sam dreamed teasing Dean with his mum but ALSO LETTING DEAN HAVE THE FOOD and Cas giving it to him.
SPN 13x20: Unfinished Business
Oh look, pretty boys huffing.
God, to Dean: You’re the firewall between light and darkness
God, to Dean: The Earth will be fine. It’s got you, and Sam.
Darkness, to Dean: You gave me what I needed most, let me do the same for you. *resurrects Mary*
Death, to Dean: You’re important. You and your brother.
…
Will some cosmic entity please tell Sam personally that he’s goddamn fucking important so he can stop hearing it second-hand from Dean?
But I think that’s part of the cosmic joke? The irony? The journey? Because, to Dean, this is absolutely not good news. He doesn’t want to be the firewall and have all of that responsibility. He thinks Chuck is a shit for trying to leave it all in their hands like that. But Sam? Sam, I think, would love to hear this. It would make him feel so much better, like when he said the trials were purifying him. He feels unclean and to have God and sundry BIG IMPORTANT IMMORTAL beings telling him he’s important, that he matters, that he is not unclean, that he’s good?? That would mean so much to Sam. It would do him so much good. But I don’t think that’s where we are in Sam’s journey. Not yet.
Exactly. Dean hates being singled out at birthday parties let alone by God, Sam wishes he could be like the knights on the quest for the Holy Grail.
Sam, the man who was positively giddy at the prospect of actually shaking hands with a real live angel, while Dean was grumpy about being chosen by heaven from the get-go and was convinced that those angels were all dicks.
Sam, the man who’d sacrificed himself to save the world after being told personally that God just didn’t care enough to intervene to save it.
Sam, who’d been through everything he had, offered himself up over and over again to put right what God had let go wrong, when he finally MET God face to face instead of being ANGRY about all of this, he was practically giddy. Because through everything God had put him through, even by proxy, Sam still had faith.
Dean never did, and never even wanted faith in some cosmic power. It’s irrelevant and an unwanted burden to him.
Whatever Sam discussed with Chuck when he agreed to take on the Mark of Cain in 11.22, when he was willing to take on that burden knowing exactly what it would mean for him after spending most of s10 trying to save Dean from it… well… I think that at least gives us SOMETHING about what Chuck and Sam must have covered in that discussion for Sam to have agreed to take the mark on himself.
Yet another difference between Sam and Dean. Dean doesn’t want to be singled out. He just wants to keep his head down and do his job. And the universe has repaid him by repeatedly dragging him kicking and screaming into the limelight. Sam has repeatedly singled HIMSELF out, and the universe has repaid him by repeatedly failing to acknowledge how much he’s sacrificed personally to keep it from self-destructing.
So basically:
- Sam needs to know that he’s enough, that he’s good and worthy and that his suffering has purpose (or even that he doesn’t have to suffer to be good and worthy).
- Dean needs to stop having cosmic responsibilities dropped on him every five minutes because that shit is exhausting, and all he wants to do is work, maybe get a decent burger now and then, and maybe bone down with the angel who keeps coming back to him.
The whole thing is made infinitely worse when you throw Dean/Cas into it, because just as Dean goes off to talk to God and the Darkness and gets told he’s important and comes back with his resurrected mother… he goes and talks to Death and gets told he’s important…
… and then immediately following that, Cas is resurrected.
It doesn’t matter what the reason actually is. From Sam’s perspective, Dean keeps getting rewarded, while Sam gets a dead Eileen.
This is a fascinating discussion. I’m excited/terrified to see what’s next for Sam..
this is all terrible and horrible and no good and very bad, how dare you
Does this really need any explanation? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
(Okay, a little explanation, for folks who don’t wear Sam goggles, hee! Late-seasons’ Sam in early-seasons’ Sam’s wardrobe.)
@themegalosaurus @monicawoe @denugis @lipglosskaz @ameliacareful @ifisgood @sunflowerchester @soulless-puppy @caranfindel @the-megalosaurus @ilikaicalie I think I pinged all the instigators! I LOVE YOU HORRIBLE PEOPLE.
Edit: Dang it! I forgot Sam’s belt! Ah, well. Maybe he left it in Dean’s room….
*looped around Dean's headboard (and this is adorable and I love the sketchy way you got the folds in the way the shirt's hiked up by his arm)
“Fuck it. You’re coming with me.”
Dear @haipuvainen had written me the most heartwarming little fic for christmas, and before long i found myself doodling this adorable scene from it uvu
oh no how can you post this and not link to the fic??? WANT NEED.
Hooray! My Sabriel femslash RP with @aria-lerendeair is now complete and posted! Now with added misappropriation of Gilbert and Sullivan lyrics! Also fluff. And sex.
(extract time!)
Gabrielle made a happy little noise and melted in promptly against Sam’s side. “Bedroom?” she suggested, bright and breathy like it was a really original idea.
Sam led Gabrielle towards the bedroom, kicking off her shoes and socks on the way there, taking Gabrielle’s hand in hers and pausing next to the bed. She glanced down at the themed sheets and then back up to Gabrielle. “Okay, time for you to work your magic again so I stop being nervous.”
Gabrielle laughed openly, golden eyes crinkling at the edges, all warmth and light and love. “Oh, it is, is it?”
She slipped out of Sam’s arms and danced backward toward the kitchen, mouth curving mischievously. “Then shouldn’t we get something to eat first? I mean, you didn’t have much back there, and I wouldn’t want you running out of steam halfway through.”
Sam’s eyes widened and she leaned out of the bedroom doorway. “Are you questioning my stamina?” she growled, fumbling the remote out of her pocket, cranking it up as she advanced on Gabrielle in the kitchen.
Gabrielle stumbled, half-falling backward against the table with a stuttered whine, knuckles clenching white on the wood. “Not your stamina, just—uh—just I have every faith in the bottomless capacity of your perfect stomach?”
Sam’s eyes brightened and she smirked, raising a perfectly plucked eyebrow. “I suppose that’s a good point. So you sit there and… enjoy and I’ll find something to eat.”
( @majorgenerally i may have got sliiiightly carried away with a one-line joke that turned into gabrielle filking your namesake’s song.)
A little more in the Sabrielle (ie, femslash au) petstore ‘verse. This one being an RP between myself and @aria-lerendeair. Because apparently I can’t stop writing Gabrielle.
Whole thing will be about 14k words, I have edited the first two parts and am working on the third which will be up in a few days!
(ETA: this is now complete and the final chapter can be found on AO3.)
Tags for AU (obviously), mild dom/sub and playing with remote-control vibes in public, Dean being overprotective to the point of dickishness, gratuitous music theatre references, trans girl Sam, PIV sex, and one instance of implied deadnaming (”Sammy” is a boy’s name, in Sam’s mind, but Dean can’t stop himself from using it when feeling protective).

So, Gabrielle owned a house.
Technically she shared it with Castiel—who was probably responsible for the modicum of order—but to Sam it felt just like Gabrielle. Colourful, warm, randomly extravagant, enthusiastic, eclectic, and messy.
Oh, and rambling. There was that too.
“Sammy,” Gabrielle whined. “Why am I so bad at makeup?”
Sam checked her reflection in the mirror, running her fingers through her hair. “You’re quite good when you’re not panicking over nothing.”
“Panicking. Why would I be panicking, Cas is my bestest bro and tormenting Dean is always hilarious and—”
Gabrielle poked herself in the eye with the eyeliner stick.
“Life is worthless,” she declared darkly. “I shall retreat to the darks of the Amazonian Himalayas and live with the jaguars and snow leopards and nobody will ever look upon my face again. Do you think snow leopards would be good at eyeliner? Ooh, I know, cheetahs. Cheetahs have the best eyeliner.”
And though the chatter was familiar there was an anxious edge underneath it that had Sam beckoning her over, gesturing to her lap. “Come here. Let me help.”
Gabrielle perked up at once, and slid into place. “I like this place even better than alpine rainforests,” she declared, nose to nose. “Hi!”
Sam laughed, feeling the contented rightness that only came with Gabrielle settle into place behind her ribs, and kissed her. “You are wound up tighter than a slinky,” she murmured, soft and gentle against Gabrielle’s lips. “Breathe, or I’m going to make you wear the vibe panties tonight.”
“...” said Gabrielle eloquently. “... That would not help me breathe.”
Sam waited for the inevitable continuation.
“Well, it would,” Gabrielle decided. “It would make me breathe really hard.”
Sam arched an eyebrow.
“Your brother would go pink. And freckly.”
Sam winked, and tilted Gabrielle’s chin up. “Eyes closed.”
Gabrielle grumbled wordlessly, and melted into Sam’s touch with that obedient trust that always took Sam’s breath away.
Until ten seconds later, when she was stealthily snuggling her hips in a little closer to Sam’s.

.... what a... helpful collection... for science... yes.
so i wanted to share this little tidbit from my m&g with jared and it’s specifically show related/about sam so i think it’s okay. and i wanted sam fans to hear this bc i know it’s something discussed a lot (this is all paraphrased and stuff btw, but i tried to accurately capture jared’s answer).
at njcon, i essentially asked jared this: “the show has had this trope of having sam constantly have to work with his abusers but never addresses the after effects. last season he had to work with lucifer, and lucifer was even in his room, and cole the season before that, and gadreel before that. and most recently there was his torture and sexual assault from toni, who i have a feeling he’ll now have to work with. so do you think sam has any trauma and ptsd and struggles working with them?”
jared said that he thought that of course sam had trauma, a lot of trauma, from all these events and these people. but he went on to say that he thinks sam is a character who constantly feels like he needs forgiveness - that he needs to be forgiven for the things he’s done wrong in his life. and because sam always feels like he needs to be forgiven, that makes him feel like he needs to forgive others in return for the wrongs they’ve done. he said that sam doesn’t want to work with them, nor forgive them, and it’s hard for him in these situations and of course the trauma is real and present for sam, but sam also knows that when he is working with them it’s typically born from necessity, so he has to kind of shoulder his own demons and work with these people despite what they’ve done. so it boiled down to jared saying that yes, sam has a great deal amount of trauma, but he will stomach that/ignore that because sam is a character that feels like he needs to be forgiven and therefore has to give forgiveness back and also because of the situations of the boys’ life
also jared seemed a little shocked/interested by the question, said it was one he didn’t think anyone had really asked or put together, but he appreciated the weight of it and definitely took his time to answer seriously and think about sam and sam’s headspace, which i truly appreciated.
omg. he does it because he blames himself. because he feels he needs forgiveness so much that he extends that forgiveness to others first as a defence mechanism, because it feels less evil to blame himself than others :( SAM
Clanks and clatters of kitchenware, the irregular rhythm of knife against wood, and the faint sizzle of sautéing or frying. An exasperated sigh.
“You are a lowly contraption of glass and metal. This procedure should be simple. Don’t try my patience.”
“Uh. Cas?”
“Good morning, Sam.”
“Are you… threatening the coffee pot?”
“It remains uncooperative. Perhaps you should—”
“Yeah, maybe. Just a heads-up, I think that bacon might be –“
“Of course. Cooking requires more concentration than I anticipated.”
S10 vs S12
gabriel would like to register an objection to this blatant overuse of a melodramatic plot device nobody gets to torture sam but him from now on okay
