Pure Imagination

Title: Darkness Holding Me Tightly
Rating: T
Genre: Gen, angst, h/c
Characters: Sam, Dean, Bobby
Spoilers/warnings: Follows right after 2.10 "Hunted", with various quotes from other episodes. So spoilers up through that point.
Length: Approx. 7400 words
Notes: Written for cgf_kat over at the summer_sam_love  exchange. Many, many apologies for the lateness. (Better late than never, I do suppose...) Thanks to faye_dartmouth for the awesome last-minute beta, and for having the patience of a saint. Also thanks to eightiswild for giving me the encouragement to go with this particular story line.
Prompt: Any season. Sam is temporarily blinded, but they're not sure/don't know it's temporary.

Summary: After a hunt goes bad, Sam has more issues to deal with than just his resulting blindness.

( Light filters out from the cavern ahead, casting the narrow stone passageway with a soft blue glow. )

Title: These Days
Rating: T
Genre: Angst, family, h/c
Spoilers/Warnings: Spoilers for 3.16. AU after that.
Disclaimer: Not mine.
Notes: This is the sequel to "One Hundred Nine Hours and Thirteen Minutes." I'd recommend reading that first if you haven't. Also, this was written in the summer and was completed before Season 4 ever aired. (Also written without ever looking at any spoilers for Season 4.) Partly journal, partly third person POV.
Notes the second: This chapter is a little bit different in the journal part--I think you'll understand why after you go all the way through. But the grammar mistakes are supposed to be in the journal entry.
Summary: The path to recovery is more like a winding mountain road. Post 3.16, AU Season 4.

Title: Cost
Rating: K+ (one curse word)
Genre: Angst, family
Spoilers/warnings: Specific for 4.21, 2.21
Disclaimer: Not mine.
Word Count: 100
Notes: Drabble tag to 4.21 - aka, what could've happened not long after Sam walked out the door. I have not seen 4.22 yet, so any similarities to any scene are purely coincidental. Also taggish sort of thing to 2.21... you'll see.

Summary: Dean knows the cost. But that doesn't matter - not really.

Title: Finding Equilibrium
Rating: K+
Genre: Angst, family, h/c
Spoilers/Warnings: Spoilers for 1.01.
Disclaimer: Not mine. Lyrics at beginning are from "Monday Morning Church" by Alan Jackson.
Notes: Tag to 1.01 - takes place just before 1.02. Thanks to eightiswild for the awesome beta work.

Summary: It'd been a week since flames had changed the course of Winchester history - again. Dean had never felt more helpless in his life.

 

( Deep down, Dean was glad that it had been Jess on that ceiling. )

Title: Memory
Challenge: Memory over at brothers100 
Rating: K+
Genre: Family, wee!chester
Word Count: 200
Fandom/Characters: Supernatural - Dean, Sam
Spoilers/warnings: Schmoop. Do we need warnings for schmoop?
Notes: Pre-season dialogue fic. Sam's 8, Dean's 12. Really just an excuse for some wee!chester goodness. Because we all need some of that every once in awhile. And yes, I know 8-year-olds that have memorized the Gettysburg Address, in case you're wondering.

 

( Come on, Sammy, you can do this. )

 

Title: Memoriam
Rating: T
Genre: Angst. Extreme heavy-duty angst.
Word count: Just shy of 1,600.
Spoilers/Warnings: Occurs the week after 3.16. Major spoilers for that, and flashback to "Fresh Blood" as well. (Hopefully) Tear-jerker.
Disclaimer: Not mine. Also, don't own Tennyson's "In Memoriam", and quotes from "Fresh Blood" are courtesy my DVDs.
Notes: Inspired by Alfred, Lord Tennyson's "In Memoriam, 7" (which is what is quoted and centered at the beginning and the end of the story). Running this unbeta'd, mostly to see if I can still get away with it every now and then, and also because I wanted to get this up before Supernatural starts up again tonight. (Don't worry, eight, it won't happen very often. :) Be warned people - this is possibly a tear-jerker. I haven't heard yet, so I don't know for sure, but that's kind of what I was going for.

And I'll be writing some fluffy fic soon to make up for all of this angst. It depressed me, too.

Summary: It's been a week. And Sam is finally breaking.

Title: One hundred nine hours and thirteen minutes
Rating: T
Genres: Angst, AU, h/c, family
Disclaimer: I own nothing
Notes: This was written before the premiere of Season 4, and it was my take of what could have happened post 3.16. So basically, it's got spoilers through Season 3, but then goes AU from there. And it's also a prequel to my multi-chaptered fic "These Days", which I will be posting up over the next couple of weeks.

 

( Thirty-five hours and fourteen minutes after he died, Sam’s eyes shot open and he gasped. )

 

Title: Timing
Challenge: Being Late (over at brothers100 )
Genre: Gen, slight angst
Rating: K
Characters/Fandom: Supernatural - Sam, Dean
Spoilers/Warnings: None
Notes: Well, this is actually 100 words (according to MS Word), but I kinda twisted the prompt a little... mostly because I thought it was "on time", not "being late." Still time themed, though... (But this will probably be the first of a few responses to this challenge, so I'll do my best to get it right next time. ~_^)

Summary: Nick-of-time rescues are exhausting.
