The long, dragged-out, unpredictable, emotional, let's-nearly-kill-'im version of Sam dealing with the trials (setting S08) */* Hard gen (no slash), sick Sam, hurt Sam, big bro Dean, shmoop, brotherly love, platonic hugs & cuddles, recovery. */* Complete rewrites/revisions of this fic were completed on 8/20/2019. Posting brand new chapters as of 8/20/2020!

This is a collection of drabbles and oneshots written mostly to fulfill people's requests. Set in various seasons with a multitude of different characters. Potential spoiler warnings given at the start of each chapter. Not a slash fiction. (With much love and gratitude I dedicate this series to GuestJ and TG, for always remembering and returning.)

Clips and pieces of dialogue between Sam & Dean while en route to/from cases in the Impala. This story is an ongoing series but all moments are complete inside.

Up for Adoption AU. Wincest. Michael never showed up for the apocylpse so they never brought Adam back. When Sam says yes he falls alone and Dean is left behind on earth. He finds a tree that looks really familiar, maybe he shouldn't have touched it?

Five different scenarios in which Sam and Dean cuddle, after they retire to Wyoming together. Part of my Wyoming!verse. Sam and Dean are nonromantic/nonsexual life partners. Aromantic!Dean.

The reader sits with Dean on a park bench, waiting for him to finally make the first move. Things happen rapidly when the reader reveals a little secret to Dean that he can't believe.

You think Dean is difficult? Try living with him when he's been toddler-ized. (WARNING: contains tantrums and mentions of purple dinosaurs. Earplugs recommended.) Rated T for swear words (still from Dean). Angst (from Sam's POV). Hurt/comfort for boo-boos. Rumors of Sam/Cas pairing. Crowley/Cas. Road trip. Sibling rivalry. Dr. Seuss! OFC. Goldfish crackers. BYO sippy cup and duice.

Once again, Dean's peaceful beer has been interrupted, when Gabriel appears. The archangel is holding his guts in with one arm, and huddling a bundle of blankets to his chest with the other. And now, now Dean has been left with a tiny, blue-eyed angel...great! Baby!Cas, Wee!Cas, Baby!Angel, Protective!Dean. Fluff and some angst mixed in later. I don't own SN, some minor swearing.

Laura Norwood had to abandon all she knew and loved to protect those closest to her. As she struggles to deal with her new life as a hunter, her mysterious fate will be intertwined with the Winchesters as they try to stop Lilith and the apocalypse. Can they change their fates, or will her darkest nightmares come true? (recent chapters: new spin on Season 6!) DeanxOC. ON HIATUS

Sam reads Dean's journal, a record of their life together from Dean's side, then gives his response. One-shot. Shameless brotherly love and fluff.

"Dean came home from work on December 4th to find an unopened package sitting on the doorstep." Takes place between seasons 5 and 6. Not a slash fiction.

Sam is reminded of Jess and what they could have had. Jess/Sam Fic. No Male Slash.

Post 9x13 – Slightly Injured Sam/Big Brother Dean – Usually after a conversation like they had experienced the previous night, they would avoid each other, especially the next morning. But here Dean was. Because Sam needed painkillers and water and someone to call him on his BS...and all of that sounded like a job for Dean Winchester.

"Man, this pie is awesome," Dean swooned and grinned at his brother, "Seriously, dude, I could kiss you for this - not that I would, of course." Living the life, Sam and Dean had stopped striving for happiness a long time ago. But in truth, they could be good together. And it only takes a Cupid, the Greek god of wine and a marriage counsellor for them to see it. [Wincest]

(Excerpt): "If it'd been me making the sacrifice, you'd be free to have the normal life you always wanted. There's the difference, Sam; you can be happy here without me." TAG to the end convo in Sharp Teeth.

Tag to 9.07 "Bad Boys." Dean has to come to terms with the immediate aftermath of choosing his family over staying with Sonny. Sammy helps.

Major spoilers for season 9, Holy Terror and Road Trip. Road Trip ends differently because everyone knows the boys shouldn't be separated. Except for Sam and Dean. Sometimes they need to be reminded of that. No pairings.

When John fails to look after his sons properly, they are left in the care of none other than Bobby Singer, the rough, hardened hunter. But when faced with a badly injured child with a broken ankle and a tiny baby, it appears that Bobby is a lot softer than he seems. In fact, he may even be a better father than John Winchester ever was. Two-shot. Please Review!

Pizza Pie 'verse – 4-yr old Sam, 8-yr old Dean, Awesome Uncle Bobby, Puppy Rumsfeld...and John being John – Bobby continued to listen, hearing Dean's voice as it floated down the hall; the big brother talking Sam through his usual bedtime routine as if it was just another night. As if the four-year old wasn't covered in blood. As if Dean wasn't also covered in blood.

When Sam and Dean get on the wrong side of a witch, it is Dean who comes off worst. After a spell causes him to regress into a four year old, Sam is left to pick up the pieces. With both brothers attempting to care for each other, things can only get better...surely? Major Dean!Whump, Wee!Chester with Protective!Dean and Sammy. Rated for violence swearing. I do not own SN. Complete

"Sam wants his big brother. More than anything right now." Setting S1.

Post 8x23, Pre 9x01 – Sick, Hospitalized Sam / Worried, Big Brother Dean – Dean had supported all of Sam's weight as he had carried the kid toward the ER, the double doors automatically sliding apart as the brothers had approached. Dean having barely cleared the entrance before he had started yelling for help...

Pre-Series: Dean had seen Sam freak out in storms before, but this time, the kid was bordering on a meltdown.

Pre-Series – Hurt, Cuddly Sam / Awesome, Protective Big Brother Dean – Mary's words about Sam had often echoed in Dean's mind. "When he's scared, he wraps himself in you..."

Sam gets gifted to Dean in a big wrapped box, barely alive, by a crazed (yet totally hot) waitress. Full story available on my LJ but edited just now for ff dot net. Credit goes to leah elisabeth for the wacky prompt - I had tons of fun with it!

This is a moment in which Dean realizes that Sam might be there to take care of him sometimes. Not a slash fiction.

Four short stories featuring Sam & Dean as adults sharing a bed, dropping each other's calls, talking about getting strangled, and dealing with colds. Mild language.
