Hello. Do you have any fanfic recs of Sam being hunted down by other hunters? Because holy shit that concept FUCKS and I need more of it in my life
Hi!! Sorry I didn't see this ask until now!
Yes, I do!! A lot of them are by the ao3 writer authoressjean, I highly recommend checking them out!!
Taken by authoressjean on ao3,
^ Steve Wandell, the hunter that meg killed while she was possessing sam, had friends. They kidnap Sam looking for revenge.
Lethal Dose Countdown by authoressnebula (authoressjean) on ao3, sam gets poisoned by hunters, but they meant to poison dean.
Arms Spread Wide by authoressnebula (authoressjean) on ao3, WARNING! THIS FIC HAS CRUCIFIED!SAM ^^
Out of the Cross by saintsurvivor on ao3

The Case of the Dissappearing Nephilim by mollrach13 on ao3, Sam gets hurt protecting Jack from hunters
The Sunlight in my Growing by remy (iamremy) on ao3, Sam and Dean get kidnapped by hunters who want to avenge the apocalypse, dean patches sam up afterwards (soft wincest)
Those are all I could find just from scanning my ao3 bookmarks, but I'll look more, and feel free to add on/rb this if anyone else has some fics to recommend!
Lord knows I'm gonna regret this because people go buckwild about ships, but look. You can love destiel, I'm happy for you. You don't even need to give me any evidence. Ship characters who haven't even met if you want, I'm not bothered.
But please, I'm begging, stop using the siren thing as evidence for destiel. The siren being Sam isn't even subtext it's just text, what with the 'I gave him what he needed. And it wasn't some bitch in a G-string. It was you' line so there are exactly two ways you can take it.
1. Dean's greatest desire is to have a good relationship with his brother (the siren can take on the shape of platonic desires)
2. Dean's greatest desire is to fuck his brother (the siren can only take on the shape of sexual desires)
You don't have to like option 2, that's fine. But in that case, take option 1 and run with it people. Because if you start trying to argue that:
The siren is evidence that Dean has sexual feelings towards a man, so Dean is bi, therefore destiel. What you're really arguing is Dean has sexual feelings for the illusory, perfect version of Sam.
Like idk guys, I see people joking about how not heterosexual Dean's siren being a man is and... you can totally watch it that way. But the siren isn't just a man he is a very specific man.... his brother.... soooo.
a lot of ppl are telling me “but its in character that TBK would kill TRG, what else could they have done” and i need to stress that my issue is not about characterisation or in-universe justification. it's simply that this kind of writing is not narratively interesting to me! i want a plot that furthers the development of the main characters and challenges them! i want thematic engagement!
they've done it before like the bad kids faced their worst fears in fhsy and changed for the better!! in a season where rage/war is the enemy, it makes thematic sense for the solution to NOT be pure combat, IN SPITE of all the circumstances that demand it. and i didnt even really need THAT like i didn’t need TRG to be fully redeemed i just needed the barest engagement with them as character foils and the themes they present
ppl on that post I made abt 9.13 bringing up how traumatizing possession is for sam bc of his experiences with meg and lucifer etc. like yes but even if gadreel was a one-time event what dean did was still horrifying lol.
this fandom treats Hurting Dean’s Feelings like it’s a sin. cry me a river tbh
I hate to confess this, but sometimes, when I am reading books of some kind, I'll get this very happy feeling of 'Oh! I could do that!'
Sometimes, it's a very literal 'I could do that', as in, I fully believe I could do that today. I say this while loving Frankenstein, but when I read that book at age 18 there was a very visceral sensation that a fellow 18 year old wrote it. Other times, it's this feeling of 'Eh, it's not my style, but I could probably imitate. Better than ChatGPT at least.'
And I like that, because it makes me feel like this writing this is, while not easy, something that I am doing quite well in.
But other times, I will read something and I will feel painfully jealous because I will admit that I have absolutely no fucking idea how they did that, and it was beautiful and stunning and I want it but I can't even imagine a world where I could do it.
And to name names, the first writer I know that does this basically every time is Sam Kriss. Everything that Sam Kriss writes makes me want to join a cult. I wonder how my idiot ancestors were duped into following a 14 year old farmboy to Utah just to survive malaria 5 times in 5 years by the Great Salt Lake, and then I read Sam Kriss and go oh, that's why. This is a compulsion that I always had, that was always in me, and I didn't know until I ran into his work. Like I inherited shrapnel from my father and had no idea until I stepped into an MRI machine and gave birth to this bloody chunk of rusted steel and all I could do was look at it and go "Ah, right, guess I did inherit that. Lovely."
The second is Terry Pratchett, who is not just funny, which is easy, but is relentlessly funny. Always funny. It never stops. He is a marathon of comedy, and the insane part of it to me is not that I couldn't write a single sentence as funny as him, it's that I could not possibly write three to five hundred consecutive pages of it.
Anyway: To the fellow hobbyists out there, who does this for you? Or are you wise enough to never look at some popular work and think "Eh, you know, I could do this?"
So last night I told bestie @fandom-hoarder a thought I had about free to be you and me au, where after Sam spat the blood back in their faces that they ambush him, drag him out and crucify him.
Then it's like something something Sam dying on the cross and Lucifer appearing to him, still trying to get Sam to say yes.
Telling Sam that he doesn't have to die a martyr.
So yeah I was just thinking of Sam crucified last night
yes sam winchester may have suffered in the cage but he could never understand the pain of being a jew-to-be samgirl in a 'sam Winchester is certifiably a catholic martyr' world

Chapter 1
Amongussy moaned in pain.
"It's OK Mr amongussy, it will all be okay you just have to push a little more! Ready? 1 2 3, PUSH!!"
Crucified Blade said while holding amongussy's hand. His scrubs were stained with blood and he was tired. It was the end of his shift was 15 minutes away, and he was really looking forward to a nap and his day off, but right now he was helping the most handsome stranger he has ever seen bring new life into the world.
Amongussy heaved and out popped two babymonguss.
"They're beautiful, I'm so happy!" Sam Reich, amongussy's beloved partner who just popped out around 4 eggs an hour ago, whispered lovingly to amongussy.
Crucified blade tried not to feel bitter that he was not the one to say these sweet things to amongussy but he had to admit that Sam Reich was definitely a better partner. Crucified blade had still not gotten over his ex and definitely couldn't be a father right now, but he could still dream he guesses.
Oh well, his shift is over and he's half asleep. Time to drive home.
man. they really said sam spent a century in the cage experiencing horrors beyond human comprehension at the hands of the devil. meanwhile adam and michael were acting out the themes of aristophanes speech from plato’s symposium in the corner
