This Moment (Sam Winchester)

Summary: Snuggling on the couch never felt so warm.

Warnings: Fluff!!

WC: 426

Read on ao3!

The bunker smelled like cinnamon and old books—your favorite combination.

Rain tapped softly against the iron grates above as you curled up on the couch, thick blanket pulled to your chin, a mug of tea resting on your chest like a little heater. Sam had disappeared into the archives over an hour ago, muttering something about cross-referencing lore and a “weird feathered demon.” You’d nodded, kissed his cheek, and left him to it.

Now, you heard the low creak of the door and the familiar sound of Sam’s heavy boots padding toward you.

“There you are,” he said with a soft smile, his hair a little mussed, a smudge of dust on his cheek.

“You found the demon?”

“Sort of. It was actually a cursed peacock statue.” He raised a brow. “Don’t ask.”

You giggled and held your mug up in a toast. “To peacocks, then.”

He chuckled and walked over, gently tugging the mug from your hands and setting it on the table. Then, without a word, Sam slid onto the couch beside you, pulling you into his lap like you weighed nothing at all.

You melted instantly.

One of his arms wrapped around your waist, the other came up to push a few strands of hair from your face, and his hazel eyes softened in that way they always did when he was looking at you like you were some kind of miracle.

“I missed you,” he whispered, nuzzling his nose into your hair.

“You were gone for one hour, Sam.”

“I know,” he murmured, voice warm and low. “But I still missed you.”

You leaned your head against his shoulder, fingers playing with the buttons on his flannel. “You’re such a sap.”

He kissed the top of your head. “Only for you.”

The two of you sat like that for a while, tangled up in the softest kind of silence, the kind that said I love you without a single word. His hand rubbed lazy circles into your back, and you could feel the steady rise and fall of his chest. Outside, thunder rumbled softly, distant and low.

“Let’s never leave this couch,” you mumbled.

“Deal.” He smiled. “I’ll hunt cursed birds from here if I have to.”

You laughed against his neck, and Sam held you a little tighter. The world outside could be full of monsters and chaos and blood, but right now, here—wrapped up in his arms with the scent of cinnamon, the hum of rain, and the warmth of love—you were safe.

And you were home.

WC: 425

Prompt: "It’s hard to believe you’re really gone." from this GDocs

You didn’t expect the tears to come again. But they did—just as easily as they had yesterday, and the day before that. They slid silently down your cheeks as you knelt before the makeshift grave, fingers digging unconsciously into the earth as if you could claw your way to the other side.

The headstone—if you could call it that—was a jagged rock Dean had found by the creek. He carved “S.W.” into it with a pocketknife, uneven and raw. A simple wooden cross stood behind it, wrapped in an old piece of flannel from one of Sam’s shirts.

The grave was shallow. Not because Dean hadn’t cared. But because there was no body to bury. Just… an empty hole in the world where Sam should have been.

You sat down hard beside the mound, knees drawn to your chest, arms wrapped tightly around them. And you whispered, barely audible over the wind: “It’s hard to believe you’re really gone.”

Your throat tightened. “I keep thinking I’m gonna wake up. That you’ll come walking around the corner, hair all messed up, carrying two coffees and that little crooked smile on your face like everything’s fine.”

You bit your lip, choking back a sob. The air was cold. Bitter.

“I know you did the right thing. I know you had to do it. Stop Lucifer. Lock the cage. Save the world.” You scoffed softly. “You always had to be the one to fix everything. Stupid hero complex, you know?”

The wind rustled the tall grass around you, soft as breath.

You reached out and pressed your palm to the dirt.

“But damn it, Sam. I wasn’t ready.” Your voice cracked. “I wasn’t ready for you to leave me. For this.”

Silence.

And then—

A whisper of warmth down your spine. A flicker of something.

You froze.

The air stilled. For just a second, the ache in your chest softened.

Like someone—something—was listening.

You swallowed hard and closed your eyes.

“If there’s anything left of you out there… please. Just stay close.”

You didn’t need a miracle. Not really. Just… the idea that somewhere, Sam was watching. That he hadn’t completely slipped away.

And so you sat there, shoulder pressed against that rough stone marker, waiting for the sun to rise. The grass brushing your legs. The weight of absence like a second skin.

You didn’t know if you were speaking to a ghost, an angel, or nothing at all. But you stayed. Because love doesn’t leave— even when the person does.

//THIS IS YOUR KIND REMINDER TO REBLOG!!!\\

[sabriel4evah]

SPNFanFicPond Reblog Challenge!

We want to encourage reader interaction on SPN fan fiction stories, and we're ready to put an entire CultureFly box where our mouth is! Each fic you kudos/comment on (on AO3) or reblog with a comment (on Tumblr) will earn you one entry into the drawing for the prize. 

How to enter:

1. Read an SPN fic on AO3 or Tumblr.

If the fic is on AO3, click that kudos button and leave a comment! 

If the fic is on Tumblr, REBLOG the post with your comment!

The comment can be anything from (fic-relevant) key smashing to a bunch of emojis to a full book report on why you loved the fic. As long as you give the writer some love, that's what matters!

2. Go here, fill out this form, and give us a link to either your reblog on Tumblr, or the work on AO3 where we can see your comment. One fic per form submission, please!

The nitty gritty:

- Comments must be new. You can't submit comments you made in the past. 

- Comments must be individual and relevant to the fic. If we feel you have just key smashed on random fics in order to earn entries, or if all of your comments are identical, you will be disqualified.

The prize:

The Spring 2025 Culturefly Box!  Yes, the whole box! (Note, there is a tiny slice on the desk mat, and the Pestilence pen was damaged but could easily be repaired with a drop of super glue. Everything else in the box seems to be in perfect condition. When I saw the damage to the mat, I inspected the rest of the box thoroughly.) Contents include a 3XL Crowley shirt, a heat-reactive mug featuring Sam Winchester, a "demon tablet" tablet cover, Lucifer's Cage desk organizer, Azazel desk mat, and "Pen Set of the Apocalypse" with Notepad.

The deadline:

This form will be closed to submissions at midnight, EDT on June 30th. The winner will be announced on the SPNFanFicPond's socials: Tumblr, Twitter, BlueSky.

Note: This is open to everyone everywhere, but if you live in the EU or some other parts of the world, you may have to pay landed costs. Also, you will have to give your full name and mailing address to Admin Michelle to receive the prize.

listen i know no smoking on the cw or whatever and YES smoking is v bad for you in fact i am currently quitting myself. however. listen in my heart and soul dean winchester is a Smoker. that man leans against babys hood in rainy dark parking lots and on dusty hot road shoulders miles from anywhere and takes a drag on a cig between two ringed fingers. its so real to me.

in this vein i need cas during a ‘teach me human things’ phase to slowly take it out of his mouth, take a puff, then geeently put it back between dean’s lips. all with instense eye contact of course

[sabriel4evah]

Some hater : Dean doesn’t care about Ca… Me : How about you watch this video and then you shut the hell up forever. . . . . . Dean and CAS : I’d have died for you

i had a thought of "do people not know what AUs are anymore?" and then i remembered nobody explains fandom stuff to new people anymore so it is entirely plausible people genuinely don't know what AUs are and nobody has explained it to them, so for today's lucky 10,000:

"AU" stands for "Alternate Universe" or "Alternative Universe" (same difference) and is basically any thought scenario for a fandom that isn't canon and can't fit within the canon universe. If it takes place in the canon universe but something is notably different, that is typically what's known as a "Canon divergent AU," because it diverges from canon.

an AU can be absolutely anything. There's a couple of widespread pan-fandom au scenarios that often get thrown around, like coffee shop aus, genderbend aus, hanahaki aus (hanahaki is a whole thing in itself i'd recommend researching on your own), etc. One you might hear sometimes is "crossover AU" which is when you have characters from one fandom interacting with characters from another.

You can have as many aus as you want. They can be whatever you want and you can do whatever you want in them. It's a sandbox for you to play around in and explore how things would be different or how the characters would act in those circumstances or environments. Maybe they have different relationships with each other. Maybe they behave slightly differently. Or you can just say "Okay, [x] is true. How did they get here? How would things have to be different for this to occur?" which can also be fun.

If you are ever confused about why people ship something that seems completely out of the blue or doesn't make sense to you in the canon setting, there's a good chance they like it in an AU setting! Not everything everybody is interacting with is necessarily the canon! Not everybody wants things to exist in canon and just want to explore playing dolls in a different sandbox and that's okay. And their sandbox might look a lot different than yours, and that's also okay. You have the freedom to make your sandbox whatever you please. Do whatever you want forever. Get funky with it. AUs are fun.

Okay that's my schpeal. everybody go have fun and play nice now.

version of spn where dean is openly bisexual the entire time and definitely fucks a priest during a job and sam is does his judgmental little "dude" and dean is like "i already went to hell once man,, what's the worst that could happen" and everytime there's a new bad guy or apocalypse sam is like "this is bc you fucked a priest" and eventually he says it in front of Cas who does his little squint and head tilt and just

"You what?"

[sabriel4evah]

Criminal that we didn't have a Supernatural vintage car show episode, come on now

Dean can infiltrate no problem bc he genuinely knows everything about cars and gets super into discussing fixes, gets wildly side-tracked, while Sam goes off to interrogate a bunch of car-enthusiast hot milfs

Dean is glued at the hip to Cas and Cas always stands awkwardly at the Impala, doesn't know anything about cars, so everyone just assumes Cas is the boyfriend who showed up for support? And the hot young ladies in shorts and boots befriend him bc he's apparently one of the hot girlfriends? And so he gets insight into their lives and solves the case, leading them final-girl style through the monster showdown in a garage full of heavy machinery and angry ghosts

Dean watches him emerge from the garage, shotgun in hand, shirt torn and covered in grease, and he bluescreens so hard he just runs past the flock of bombshells in shorts and tank tops (also covered in grease) to clutch Cas to check him for injuries

All the romance of Harry and Ginny’s first kiss just vanishes when you realize it occurs - out of all chapters - at the end of the very same chapter as Sectumsempra, at a moment when Harry is feeling so mortified and overwhelmed with guilt that he is suddenly desperate to not think about Draco, after spending the whole rest of the book obsessed with him. Poor Ginny is canonically a total rebound.

I wanna know what people assume about me because of my tumblr.

Put an assumption in my ask. I’ll confirm or dispute it. I’m not gonna be mean or anything, I’m just very interested.

[sabriel4evah]

ppl misunderstand me when I say "I want more [thing] in stories". I don't mean "I'm going to love every single one" I mean "I'm very picky and I want more of it in circulation so I can actually choose from a wealth of them and be discerning". I see ppl being like "you say you want more of [this thing] but you don't like [example of it]" YEAH CUZ I'M PICKY!!!!!!!! I have opinions and standards????? not all of them are gonna be the same I wanna be able to look at 100 of them and go "I want these 20" not "I only have 3 to choose from and I don't like any of them" you feel me??????

Filters & Features I REALLY wish AO3 would add:

1) Filter or sort by: fics that have translations into other languages.

If someone took the time & made the effort to translate this story into another language, THERE IS A REASON why. I want to prioritize those!

2) The ability to filter our extensive reading history.

"What's that story I read a couple of years ago that had [insert topic here]? Regular AO3 filters show 4309 options, but I'm sure I only read ONE!"

We have some bookmark filters, but history gives us NOTHING!
