Title: Exodus
Author: mentholpixie
Characters: Sam, Dean, Bobby
Word Count: 800ish
Summary: Sam goes for a walk. Genesis 'verse stand-alone. Post-Hell AU
Title: Like an Echo Down a Canyon
Characters: Sam, Castiel
Genre: Gen
Word count: Around 3,700
Summary: Episode 14X13, "Lebanon" (so big spoilers for that). The night that follows the *cough* events *cough* is hard on everyone in the bunker. Cas witnesses the way it goes for Sam. He expected trouble, but not this.

The fic touches on the repercussions of early emotional trauma, which the show can't really tackle to the degree I'd like it to. So there's mainly vulnerable!Sam, guilt, emotional flashbacks mixed with dissociation, and Castiel's weekly Understanding Psychologically Wounded Humans challenge. Probably more hurt than comfort in this h/c, really. Sorry.

Sam + Contentment.
Author: foolscapper
Artist: quickreaver
Wordcount:
8,400+
Rating: Teen to Mature
Pairings: N/A, Gen (platonic soul mates)
Summary: For the Sam Winchester Big Bang on tumblr this year! "Bar fight. Don't tell Dean. I don't want to hear it. You just... You understand best. You get it best, y'know? You get me." Death brings Sam back — sort of. A domestic, curtain-fic sort of piece that explores different sections of what makes Sam Winchester. An alternative to S07E01, where raising our boy's soul doesn't go exactly to plan.

Warning for psychological issues, mental anguish, mentions of torture, and so on. Also has minor self-harm (unintentional harm) and violence.
