Title: E/O Challenge - The Healing Ways I've Learned

Author: Laedie Duske

Disclaimer: I own nothing except the fantasies that fed this week's adventures.

Word Count: 100 per/5 drabbles

Featured Word: Side - and my own birthday request. "firm, flat stomachs... especially Dean's. She'd like tummy touches, stomach rubs, stomach aches, twitching muscled bellies, or stomach wounds... and of course, Sam dispensing a little TLC." I got a little carried away, it is my birthday so I didn't think anyone would get mad. :-)

A/N Wow, thanks to everyone who sent in drabbles in answer to my prayers! I'm doing my best to go through all of them and respond individually but just in case I miss anyone, I am so grateful to all of you for sharing your time and creativity with me! You've all answered my wishes in ways unique to yourselves and completely wonderful. Thank you!

Curled on his side, arms wrapped tight around his tortured gut, Dean grits his teeth and tries to breathe through the pain. For once, the cracked ribs were playing the background melody. Stomach muscles bruised so deep they spasmed uncontrollably. The latest round left him breathless, feeling like something had torn.

Suddenly, Sam's huge paw snakes between Dean's arms and his screaming abdominal muscles. Dean opens his mouth to object but Sam presses on a trigger point and a small pained sound is all Dean can manage.

"Relax if you can, Dean. I know it hurts, let me help. Please."
