Dean comes to Sam's side in the hospital. Set sometime in Season 12.

Sam's name takes up the centre of the phone's screen. Dean jolts, fully awake now. He looks to the other bed and finds it empty, the sheets heaped and half hanging off the mattress.

Missing scene (the scene we all know should've been there) to Mamma Mia: Dean gets Sam from the cellar to the car. (rated for Dean's language.) Ch 3: Sam wakes up in the back of the car and contemplates Mom being alive.

Rowena's attack dog spell has other unintended consequences that lead Sam and Cas to re-evaluate their friendship. Afterwards a bread and butter ghost hunt turns nasty and the Winchesters have a mystery to solve...

Written for kazluvsbooks 's prompt: I would love to see Sam injured and becoming slightly mentally disabled (or slow) so that Dean has to start doing stuff for him. The thought of massive Sam having to have Dean help him with fine motor skill stuff like tying shoes etc. -This will be a series of one-shots based off of prompt.

Sam wakes up in the back seat of the Impala in his father's arms, sure he's dying.

Post-season 11 speculation, gen - Captured, tried and sentenced by the British Men of Letters, believing his brother is gone, Sam struggles to hold onto hope and his humanity.

AU. Sam is the CEO of a thriving business. Castiel is his newest administrative assistant and happens to be in love with Sam. When an accident causes Sam a head injury, Castiel lies to make sure Sam receives the care he needs, telling the medics he's Sam's husband. Meanwhile, Sam's brother thinks he's the one who should be running the company and is blackmailing Castiel to get it.

Sam thinks he's cursed; Dean disagrees. If he believed in things like Fate and curses - which he doesn't - Dean would say he's the one who's cursed. How does he know? Because the Universe once took a foolish whim seriously, and he's been paying for it ever since. Protective!Dean. (Set mid-season 2ish, with later chapters tackling later seasons.)

"Sam curled into himself, suppressing a surprised sob at the sudden twist in his gut. The cat startled and jumped off of him. He was alone and scared and oddly disoriented.

COMPLETED.

Dean hates dealing with the aftermath of Sam's self-sacrificing behaviour but at least he is alive and safe.

Basically, Sam gets abused by the author. A lot. READ THE AUTHOR'S NOTE INSIDE!

Post-10x03: Dean Winchester may not be famous for his brains, but that doesn't mean he lacks them. It just means that no one knows how cunning he truly is, especially now that he's a demon. And doubting Dean's ability to outmaneuver Sam and Castiel is going to turn out to be a terrible mistake in the long run. Season 10 speculation fic, sick!Dean, demon!Dean.
