Super-sneezy Supernatural Meme!

[tarotgal]

I had a hard time deciding on a good title for this, as it's my first time ever trying one of these things. I was torn between: Baby's First SPN Comment Sneezefic Meme and What If tg Hosted an SPN Sneezefic Meme and No One Came?

Come celebrate tg's new unhealthy addiction to Supernatural
by writing about unhealthy Supernatural boys!

Directions:
1. Post prompts. Anything goes, any pairing, as long as there is potential sneezing involved from Sam, Dean, and/or Cas. There is no limit to how many prompts you can post.
2. Prompt posting will be open until I feel like closing it, which will either be April 8 or some time in May when I get back from my trip.
3. Reply to any prompts you like with art/drabbles/ficlets/fics in parts/links to fics in your LJ. If doing a link to your LJ, the entry must not be friends-locked.
4. There will be no deadline for fic responses. If you see a prompt you like and want to write it, go ahead! There's no limit to how many you can write either. WRITE THEM ALL!
5. My birthday is April 19. I'm just saying... it would be awesome to come home from the UK and find this thing totally rocked out with sexy, sneezy boys. Couldn't ask for a better present from y'all!

EDIT: Just to be clear, prompts can have as many fills as people feel like writing. Just because one person has filled a prompt doesn't mean you can't write for that prompt as well. Different spins on the same thing are absolutely welcome!

Today I got thinking about this...

Dean is allergic to cherry blossoms. Sam finds a job in Washington, D.C., and doesn't want to tell him at first. But it's either bored!Dean or sneezy!Dean and Sam decides the latter will be easier to deal with. So the boys roll into town in the spring when all the trees are in full bloom.

[(Anonymous)]

I love you and this prompt, because that means the boys would be close to where I live and right now. That thought pleases me veryveryvery much!

[mad-server.livejournal.com]

Oh my gosh the sneezy look on Dean's face in your banner.

OKAY BUT THAT'S NOT A PROMPT EITHER.

So here is the prompt.

Dean is super super stoic. And super super sick. And he makes all these moany gaspy whimpery sounds when he sneezes and it's giving Sam ideas. Ideaaas. But mostly he just wants Dean to feel better.

[mad-server.livejournal.com]

Dean is super-sick or super-allergic and Sam calls him lots of pet names. Lots and looots of different pet names.

[i-speak-tongue.livejournal.com]

SECONDED, and you know it.

[mad-server.livejournal.com]

Dean has a cold and Sam puts his feet in a basin of warm water.

[tarotgal]

Yesssssss! Best mental picture ever!

[mad-server.livejournal.com]

Dean is so sneezy and so medicated that he can't remember how to use Sam's laptop. Sam makes it all better.

[tarotgal]

Dean's got a cold. AND a broken leg. He can't manage to cover his nose all the time because, hello, crutches. And he is so not great at getting up to get a box of Kleenex or a bottle of medicine because his balance is off. Best just to stay put and hope eventually someone notices how pathetic he looks and gets him what he needs. Whatever that might be...

[mad-server.livejournal.com]

Awwwwwwwww

[mad-server.livejournal.com]

Dean has a cold and Sam reads to him.

[yohkobennington.livejournal.com]

I think you have a new obsession.

[mad-server.livejournal.com]

"Sabb... these tissues are purple."

[mad-server.livejournal.com]

If Dean sneezes, this whole thing's gonna blow.

[etoile-etiolee.livejournal.com]

I'm trying my hand at this one :-)

[mad-server.livejournal.com]

Dean has a cold and Sam kisses his forehead.

Dean has this thing about sneezes, Sam has observed from years looking on in the passenger seat. Dean never just lets himself sneeze. If it’s a singular sneeze, one not brought on by a cold, he will own it. His nose and eyes crinkle up, and he leans forward and screams, “AAAACHOO!” over the actual sound of the sneeze. Afterwards he’ll sniffle, let out a little sigh, and wilt a bit, like the scream took a lot out of him. Like he thinks this is somehow a Man Sneeze, and that he’s some sort of sneezing bad ass.


When he’s actually getting sick, though, he tries to hide the sneeze. It’ll be preceded by a finger splayed casually under his nose, an inhale. His nose will keep twitching. He’ll shake his head, trying to make the urge to let it out go away. He’ll clench his jaw down tight, attempting prevent the sneeze from leaving his body through sheer force.

Finally, though, he’ll have to let it out somehow. He turns his head to the side, into the crook of his elbow, and try to nonchalantly let out a little “haaasnee!” His head pops up immediately afterwards and he tries to shake it off like it never happened, blinks his watery eyes.

Minutes after he’s broken the seal a sneezing fit will invariably come upon him. He’ll try to keep releasing them politely and unobtrusively into his arm, but eventually he needs to return his eyes to the road. He can’t stop the sneezes though, they spray towards the steering wheel and on the dashboard. He has to pull to the side of the road so he’s not driving blind.

Tonight, as they’re stalled on the shoulder Sam gets out of the passenger side door and walks over to Dean’s window, puts a hand on his brother’s arm. Dean looks up at him in surprise, his big green eyes watery, bagged, and red-rimmed. He’s so tired he didn’t notice Sam get up. He hasn’t been sleeping much, Sam knows, and this cold and the sneezing fits have only made him more exhausted.

Dean sits in the passenger seat, dazed, eyes watery. He sinks down into the seat, and Sam can see him succumbing to the cold now that he doesn’t have to suck it up and drive. Sam puts the car in drive and makes his way back into traffic.

~

A couple hours later, they’re stopped in the parking lot of a motel. Sam returns with a room key, but Dean hasn’t moved. He’s not asleep, but he’s huddled with his head against the window. He keeps wiping his nose with his sleeve. Sam opens the door and Dean falls a bit before reflexively steadying himself, peering up at Sam in confusion.

He leads Dean into the room. “Sit,” he orders, guiding Dean to the bed and plopping him down.

“Sitting,” Dean answers, blinking up at his brother. He sniffles.

Sam pushes him lightly down onto the pillow. He begins to unlace Dean’s boots, but in a couple of seconds Dean has sat up again and is trying to help, fingers fumbling the laces.

“Hey.” Sam pulls off one boot and drops it to the floor. He sits on the edge of the bed and puts his hand on Dean’s chest, presses him down onto the sheets. “I got this,” Sam assures his brother. He runs a hand through Dean’s short hair, rubs a thumb at the top of his forehead. He leans down and presses a kiss to the feverish, freckled skin there. “Just go to sleep, kiddo,” he instructs, and Dean closes his eyes.

Warmth of a Brother

[cherry916.livejournal.com]

“I told you not to dive into that lake.” Dean chides gently, feeling pity well up at the weak look Sam gives him in return.

It's of course not Dean's fault that Sam decided to jump into the freezing lake in the middle of January because of a stupid pen.

Then Dean felt like absolute shit afterwords when Sam told him the pen was a present from Jessica and that definitely hit him hard in the gut.

Thankfully the pen was retrieved and cleaned up, safely put back into it's spot in Sam's duffel bag. Unfortunately for Sam he's paying with one hell of a cold.

Sam doesn't answer him like Dean figured just keeps sniffling weakly and tugging at Dean's heart strings like it's a god damn harp or something.

It doesn't help that the motel is spectacularly shitty, they have no money to afford anything better, and it's not like there is another motel close by anyway.

All in all it's been a really fucking horrible day, ok?

To make matters worse there is no heating in this shit hole, the blankets are thread bare and Sam just keeps shivering in spasmodic bursts like he's having a seizure. Dean's already piled all the blankets from the Impala and the motel on top of him but nothing seems to be helping.

Dean himself is freezing ass cold as well, covered in his warmest thermal and flannel he could find.

Fucking winter man.

Dean has enough when he see's Sam's hand slowly inch out of the blanket to reach the night stand. It's shaking so bad that Sam wouldn't be able to grab anything.

“Alright move over Sasquatch.” Dean says as he sits up, he toes off his boots and does his best not to curl his toes to reserve heat.

Sam stares at him like a fish out of water, gaping and all. “Wh-what?”

“I said move over.” Dean gestures with his hand to the bed and Sam continues to stare at him like he has two heads.

Dean sighs and pushes his way against Sam who literally squeals out his displeasure. “De-Dean!” Sam's usual reprimand is pathetically weak considering he keeps stuttering when he talks.

Dean takes pity on the kid. “Sammy your cold, I'm cold and you know the best way to preserve heat is through the body. Just shut up and go to sleep ok?”

Dean expects Sam to argue, to demand Dean leave or to gripe at him but surprisingly Sam doesn't.

Sam just gives him this look and settles back into the bed trying to find a comfortable position. Dean's arm loosely winds around Sam's stomach as he lays his head on the bed.
It's comfortable and familiar. Dean remembers many nights where he did this with a much younger Sam. It certainly was easier back then but it's still the same all these years later.

Dean can't bring Jessica back and he can't magically heal Sam's pain but he can do this. Right here and now he can help Sam and it's all he can ask for.

He's about to drift off to sleep but Sam's quiet voice speaks up from the mound of blankets.

“Dean?”

“Yeah?” Dean answers sleepily noting Sam's stutter was gone.

“Thanks.”

Dean smiles as he closes his eyes. “Anytime kiddo.”

The End

POST 7x17 EP TAG

[ladykorana.livejournal.com]

Sleep deprived, weak, run-down Sam catches a bad cold that he just can't shake. Dean takes care of him.

Re: POST 7x17 EP TAG

[tarotgal]

*wants desperately* Too perfect. HOW DO WE MAKE THIS HAPPEN IN CANON?!

[mad-server.livejournal.com]

Dean has a cold and Cas makes him borscht.

[greeneyes-fan.livejournal.com]

Huh. I'm having happy childhood flashbacks, so I might have to write this.

Let's give Dean my luck, shall we?

[yohkobennington.livejournal.com]

Dean catches the flu, and when he's almost all recovered from it, he gets the stomach flu a week later.

Re: Let's give Dean my luck, shall we?

[cowboyguy.livejournal.com]

Oooh, I want to read this! Someone pleeeeeeeeeease do it.

[starsinger2012.livejournal.com]

The boys are filthy after a hunt and they need to shower but there's no hot water. Sam's sick and there's definitely no way Dean's letting him take a freezing shower. SO what he does is wet some washcloths, warm them between his hands, and then give Sam a washcloth-sponge bath to get him clean, lol.

Slash if you want.

[greeneyes-fan.livejournal.com]

Can Dean use the coffeemaker to heat a little water? Because that's totally what I would do.

[shangrilada.livejournal.com]

all mine.

[shangrilada.livejournal.com]

Season 1, they have to interview someone who has a ton of cats. Dean is Awesome Big Brother (my faaavorite Dean) and remembers that Sam is SUPER MEGA ALLERGIC so he's like hey, no worries, I've got this, you go do research. So they split up, Dean takes care of it, he is feeling all superhero about looking after little bro...and theeen it turns out that just the cat hair on his clothes is enough to make Sam SO RIDICULOUSLY allergic because guess whose allergies got worse while he was at college? (Sam's. Sam's did.)

[tarotgal]

Okay, um, so halfway through this prompt I totally wanted to write it because I knew where it was going and then it WENT THERE and gah, that is soooo good! I love this prompt so much!

I mean, I'm loving pretty much EVERY prompt, but I keep reading this one over again. Also, I had a cat on my lap while I was posting this meme and I was hoping someone would do a cat prompt. This is SO GOOD! *pets poor Sammy*

[starsinger2012.livejournal.com]

So I like to imagine that Sam and Jess had a lot of firsts. SO.

First time Sam gets a cold while dating Jess please!

Sick Sam/Jess

[ladykorana.livejournal.com]

Sam is stressed by classes and catches the bug that's been going around the dorms at Stanford. Jessica just can't help but fall for the tall boy with the floppy hair and a bad case of the sniffles.

Re: Sick Sam/Jess

[familybizness.livejournal.com]

Neither can I, Jess.

Neither
can
I.

[familybizness.livejournal.com]

I mean, I really like it when Cas doesn't understand things. So suppose Sam's sick and Cas doesn't understand how that works. Don't worry, Dean will show you.

[shangrilada.livejournal.com]

yoink. that's the sound of me taking this.

[tarotgal]

Sam and Dean have a fight. They split up. One of them comes down sick with one of those annoying colds where it's miserable but not miserable enough to keep him from that obviously ghost-ridden house that just made the news one state over. Coincidentally, both boys end up on the scene. And though they're still pissed at each other, one has a cold and it's one of those annoyingly pathetic ones that makes for all sorts of sympathy and reluctant caring that turns into genuine caring and a proper back together moment. Everybody now: awwwwwww.

[greeneyes-fan.livejournal.com]

Now, THAT is a plot. And then some.

[greeneyes-fan.livejournal.com]

Immediately before Swan Song: Sam is sick. Dean doesn't, can't, say what's going on in his head, just cares for him like a small child and, when he thinks Sam is asleep, holds on like he'll never let go.

[greeneyes-fan.livejournal.com]

And, to go really classic: One of the boys gets sick after jumping in the lake in "Dead in the Water." (November, Wisconsin...)

[ladykorana.livejournal.com]

Gotta love the classics! Wouldn't mind seeing this done as a 'both boys get sick' type thing either.

[tarotgal]

Just reading this prompt made me all giddy! He's such a good big brother *G*
