Prompt: #105 Fog

Fandom/Orginal: Supernatural

Disclaimer: Fished 'em out of Kripke's toybox.

Word count: 100

The fog rolled in out of nowhere, swallowed them up like the ocean. Dean is sick, twitchy, starting at the slightest sound, eyes glittering with fever and mounting fear. Everything is muffled, like the night during a snowstorm, and Sam can't see more than a few inches ahead, can't figure out in which direction they left the car. He's beginning to understand why they call the stuff “pea soup.” Dean stumbles, curses under his breath, and Sam catches hold of his elbow, keeping him upright.

“Come on, we have to keep moving.”

“Goddabbed debods.”

“Amen to that.”

Prompt: #106 Wind

Fandom/Orginal: Supernatural

Disclaimer: I make no claims. NONE!

Word count: 100

“But you agree, that wind really wasn't natural?” Sam is busy rifling through the pages of their father's journal —a lot more roughly than Dean would like, if he's honest with himself.

“Dude, it could have been El Niño, or the freaking breath of God, I d-don't cuh-care...” Dean scrubbs at his nose, fighting a losing battle with a sneeze. “It w-was f-freezing... HHGHHFF!” he gives up, smothers it in the crook of his elbow.

Sam looks up, concerned. Purses his lips. “Yeah, it was. Whatever it was, it can wait until tomorrow.”

Prompt: #107 Frost

Fandom/Orginal: Supernatural

Disclaimer: No no no PLEASE don't sue!

Word count: 100

When Sam opens his eyes, the first thing he is aware of is the grinding pain in his neck and limbs. He forces himself upright, feeling his joints pop. “That's the last time we're sleeping in the car,” he grouses. “I am in serious pain, dude, and there is frost on the windows. Frost. How are you not frozen?”

“HHKGFFH!” the muffled sneeze is a more eloquent answer than any other Dean is capable of giving.

Sam inches forward, sneaks his hand up to feel Dean's forehead. “Right. I'm driving, and I'm finding us a motel.”

Prompt: #108 Ice Cream

Fandom/Orginal: Supernatural

Disclaimer: *runs away from the mean lawyers*

Word count: 100

It's growing dark when Sam gets back to the motel. Dean is awake and alert, he notes, pleased. He's spent most of the past couple of days alternating between sleeping, coughing and sneezing, in no particular order.

“How you feeling?”

“Bedder,” Dean manages a painful croak.

Sam grins. “I have a surprise for you.” He pulls out a carton of Ben & Jerry's ice cream, which he waggles seductively, enjoying the delighted grin spreading over his brother's face. “For your throat.”

“Chugky Mogkey?”

“Of course.”

Dean melts contentedly into the bed, spoon in hand.

I love the last one. That was me at midnight last night. I could not sleep and my throat and neck hurt so bad. And all I wanted was a milkshake.

Love all of these. Please keep it up.

[shygreeneyes]

I like the sleeping-in-the-car one. We got at least 2 eps in season 4 that opened that way, and it was cute.

Still, you do it better.

[Aprilcot]

I loike spreading the love!

These are so good!!!

Thank you!!!!!!

Oh, man, I'm so sorry. That really sucks. Hot tea and lemon and ice packs for your neck are the way to go.

I hope you're feeling better today!

With all these weather-related prompts back-to-back, I was kind of beginning to feel like the drabbles were getting repetitive, so I tried to find something else to do with "frost" than simply have the poor boys freezing in a field somewhere.

It always sort of breaks my heart when they have to sleep in the car, because they've got nowhere else to go. I'm glad you liked it.

I loike spreading the love!

These are so good!!!

Thank you!!!!!!

Hee! You and your exclamation marks. You make my day!

Prompt: #109 Sad

Fandom/Orginal: Supernatural

Disclaimer: Playing with someone else's toys.

Word count: 100

A/N: VERY vague Season 5 spoilers. Blink and you'll miss 'em. This sort of follows the "story" from 82 "Solitude" and 92 "Goodbye." They all three stand okay on their own, and they don't HAVE to be about what I think they're about. /end ramble

When Dean starts to cough Sam hauls him to his feet, hustles his frozen ass back inside, shoves him gently onto the bed. He's not sure whether to be grateful or worried that Dean's not resisting. Decides worrying is his better option. Pulls extra blankets on the bed, lays a hand on his brother's head, more to comfort than to check for fever —he already knows that answer.

“No one will think less of you for being sad, for grieving,” he says softly.

“Such a girl,” Dean mumbles, half-asleep, but Sam can see his eyelashes are damp.

*****

Prompt: #110 Compassion

Fandom/Orginal: Supernatural

Disclaimer: I promise not to break 'em too badly before giving them back.

Word count: 100

A/N: I originally thought of this as being a Stanford-era drabble, but it can be read as early Season 5, too. No spoilers.

Compassion isn't Dean's thing. Usually Sammy does the horse-whisperer thing, but Sam's gone, Dean pushed him away. So not only is Dean stuck, but he's sick, his head hurts, and he doesn't know how to comfort the heartbroken boy he's pulled away from his mother's ghost.

He muffles a sneeze, holds out his hand. “When my Mom died, I wanted to stay with her too. My Dad told me I had to look out for my brother. So that's your job. You have to take care of your family now, okay?”

The boy nods, takes his hand.

“Okay.”

[W.I.N.]

Prompt: #111 Broody

Fandom/Orginal: Supernatural

Disclaimer: No word yet from Kripke & co. about the transfer of ownership.

Word count: 100

A/N: Okay, this one depressed me. I guess it's Season 4, but there are no spoilers.

“Sab, I get it that chicks dig the whole broody thig, bud dod't you thigk you ought to give id a rest? I cad hear you thigkig frob over here.” Dean pulls a pillow over his head in an attempt to block out the light streaming in through the window. “You're baking by head hurt jusd lisdedig to you.”

“Sorry,” the response is automatic, unthinking, and Dean winces.

“I need some air,” Sam stands. “You want anything?”

“I'b good, thagks.”

The door slams, and Dean sighs. Wonders where the hell his little brother went.

*****

Prompt: #112 Lonely

Fandom/Orginal: Supernatural

Disclaimer: *checks mailbox* Still nothing.

Word count: 100

A/N: I was too depressed by the last drabble, so I wrote this one to compensate. Sue me, I like happy endings.

Dean awakens to the sound of muffled coughing from the next bed. He finds Sam awake, curled on his side, hair damp with sweat. He gets up, slides next to his brother.

“Sam? You okay?”

“Thirsty,” Sam manages hoarsely.

Dean props him up, holding a glass of water to his lips. Sam settles against him with a contented sigh, head nestled under his arm. “'M glad you're back,” he mumbles, petting Dean's arm.

“Yeah, me too, buddy.”

Sam's voice breaks, near tears. “It was so lonely without you. Don't leave again, okay?”

“Okay, Sammy.”

This last pair really sums up my favorite parts of the show all at once. I'm fascinated by the partnership, and I adore the episodes where they work together like the finger and thumb on a single hand, like in "The Usual Suspects."

I also like the episodes where they fight.

[Aprilcot]

AAAAAWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!

These last ones are so sad!!!!

They're brilliant but they are making me feel so upset!!!

You are brilliant!!!!

Please continue!!!

I *loved* The Usual Suspects. That bit where they both start thinking "anagram" at the same time? Brilliance. The episodes in which they fight break my heart, but they're really telling about their personalities, too.

Yeah, these ones depressed me too, but the brothers fight as much as they get along, especially in later seasons, so eventually I was going to have to acknowledge that, even though those episodes make me cringe and want to hug the boys until it's all better.

I love your protective, concerned, decisive Sam. All, validating Dean's complaints in the chilly fog, and surprising him with ice cream for this throat that not only is ice cream but is his favourite ice cream, and putting off the work that can wait because Dean's coming down with something, and sneaking in for a forehead feel in the frosty car. I love him interpreting Dean's sneezes as signs he needs downtime and extra love, and then accommodating him.

[Lady Blessington]

Season Four IS sad. I'm glad Sam got a redeeming moment in the next one (unless I read it wrong which is very possible and either way I really liked it) of "I was being bitchy a minute ago because actually I (a) didn't feel well and ( am not ready to trust that you're really here and back from hell yet and am messed up about that and I really really love you but I'm scared to get close to you again and lose you again."

I loved sneezy sick Dean trying to comfort the kid in the one before. Freaking adorable. *drops a blanket around his shoulders and proffers tissues*

I think my Sam may be a little OOC where the show is concerned, alas. I like him less self-centered and clueless than the show portrays. The boy is meant to be brilliant and sensitive and insightful, so why don't they ever SHOW it? Guh. It's enough to make me write drabbles and the like to get over my frustration.

Caring!Sam is my favouritest Sam of them all.

Season 4 broke my heart SO badly! I spent most of it either in tears or on the verge of tears. I'm not sure that the boys have even recovered from it, halfway into Season 5. By God, they had BETTER be okay by the time this season ends! (I am a sucker for redemption plotlines.)

So that first drabble started out light-hearted, and then Sam said "Sorry" in my head and suddenly it became angst-ridden and I was sad. So then I decided to give Sam a redeeming moment. I didn't think too hard about whether it came *right* after the first drabble, but it can easily be taken that way. Mostly I was aiming for b ), because I think Sam has this terrible tug-of-war going on in his heart that he WANTS to be close to Dean and hang onto him and never let go except that he's afraid Dean will leave him anyway because he's a horrible freak who started the apocalypse and is beyond all redemption.

Oh, boys. They really, truly break my heart. Over and over.

Not even an hour has gone by when Sam wakens again. He sits up, looks over at the other bed. No Dean. Shit. He pulls on his jeans and jacket, doesn't have to look very far outside. He can tell where Dean is just from the direction of the sneezing.

“No masseuses out here.” He leans next to him against the trunk of the Impala. At least Dean remembered his jacket.

Dean's not really listening. “I was just thigkig how I dever pay attedtiod to the boodlight.”

“Huh.” Sam leans back, wonders when he stopped looking up too.

Disclaimer: Still waiting for the CW

Word count: 100

The medium is sitting with her eyes closed, hands poised on the knees of her crossed legs. The scent of perfumed candles lingers heavily in the air. What is it with mediums and funky-smelling crap, anyway, Dean wonders, trying not to fidget. Beside him, Sam is having an internal struggle of his own, knuckles pressed against his nose.

“Hh.. hi'ih... hiihii'ih... sniff... uh...” he's fighting the sneeze with everything he's got, but Dean can tell it's not working.

“Hihi'iihih! HEPKTSH!” he manages to half-stifle it, cheeks flushing.

The medium opens her eyes. “Maybe you should wait outside.”

“Y'kdow whad would bake be feel bedder? If you showered be with kgisses. Thad always worgks,” Dean does his best to leer at Jo, who's taken over for Sam so he can take a shower, dabbing at Dean's face with a damp washcloth.

She rolls her eyes. “Even delirious, you're still a dog.” Keeps wiping his face.

“Whad if dis is your lasdt chadce? I could be dyig.” Dean coughs painfully, a tremor running through him.

“Then I definitely don't want what you have, Dean Winchester.”

“You're breakig by heart.”

“I'm sure you'll live.”

“If you tell me you got up to watch the sunrise, I'm checking you into a psych ward for excessive admiring of scenery. It means you've either lost your mind, or you've been replaced by a pod person. A pod person with a cold.”

Dean's death glare is ruined as his breath starts to hitch. “Huh... HRRKSHUH! HEITCHUH! Fuddy,” he mutters, fumbling for a tissue. “Cad we go?”

“Only if you let me drive.”

Dean looks like he's about to argue, wrenches aside instead. “Hah-ESCHEWW! HEKSHUH! Huh... HEISHOO! ISHOO!”

Wordlessly he hands over his keys.

“Drink your orange juice, at least,” Dean coaxes nudging the glass forward. Sam hasn't touched his breakfast, is pressing his hands against his head as though they're the only things keeping his brain from spilling out. “Come on, it'll keep you hydrated. Vitamin C, all that jazz.”

“Dean... please.” He can hear the pain in Sam's voice, the hoarseness, knows that if their positions were reversed he probably wouldn't want the damned juice either. Stubborn idiot.

“You know I'm right.”

Sam coughs, gives Dean a pained look, drains the glass. “Happy?”

“It's a start.”
