Summary
“Is there any way I can help?”
Sam blinks. “What do you mean?”
“Well, sometimes you get like this. You act all squirrely about stuff. I figure it has something to do with your…” Dean trails off, making a vague gesture. “Y’know.”
“Autism?” Sam supplies.
“Yeah.”
“You can say it. It’s not a bad word.”
“No, I know, it’s just—” Dean exhales, swapping hands once again, something he only does when he’s caught on the wrong foot. Or avoiding something. “I see you get wide-eyed and I don’t know what to do. I used to know but… well, like you said. You’re not twelve anymore.” He clears his throat. “I wanna know if there’s anything I can do to make it better, I guess.”
Or: Sam and Dean hunt a Russian cryptid. Maybe it's the stress, or the heat, but Sam feels well out of his element. Thankfully, Dean's there, and he can still recognize the signs.

Summary
“Don’t! Rafe, don’t.” Sam’s body vibrates with the demand. He pulls Nathan further under him, concealing his torso and cradling his head. Vital areas. “Rafe—“
Rafe sounds annoyed. “Sam, move before I make you.”
“I will throw us both off this cliff and you’ll be left with neither of us. You can forget all about Avery’s treasure.”
Or: Nathan doesn't fall over the cliff side when Sam’s lie is uncovered. With Rafe deciding to hold them both hostage to find Avery's treasure, they're forced to work together and eventually reconcile.

Summary
“Nathan.” Sam kneels down in front of him. “Hey, look at me.”
Nathan obeys. Sam’s bloodied hand —Nathan’s blood, on him, jesus— holds awkwardly out in front of himself. He darts from that to Sam’s face, which is contorted into a fully blossoming worry now.
“I— uh— I think I might’ve hit my head on the way down,” Nathan says.
“You think?” Sam laughs a little, the anxiety thick in his voice.
———
“Pleasure doing business with you?” Nate calls to their backs.
Omar glances over his shoulder. “With you Drakes? Absolutely not.”
The three of them turn around the bend, their shadows slowly shrinking against the street lights before dissipating. Sam waits a couple moments to ensure they’re not coming back before holstering the gun. He releases a long breath and relaxes his shoulders, only just realizing how tense he was.
Or: In November of 2015, Scotland, Nathan Drake takes a heavy hit to the head during the escape from St. Dismas Cathedral. In July of 1988, Cuenca, Ecuador, Samuel Drake and his little brother walk right into a trap.

Summary
Sometimes, when he’s working inside the garden, his brain tends to… do things he doesn’t like. The soil running along his palms will look wrong, especially if it was damp, darkened from the water he’ll pour on top of the plants. His tongue will dry and his mouth will start to taste like dirt, even though his head was nowhere near the plots.
He’ll panic, and his mind will start to wander, tricking his body into thinking he’s someplace he’s not. Then he’ll step away, let his mind recover and remind himself that he’s here now, not there. Peter wouldn’t feel like gardening for the rest of the day then, opting for a shower to get rid of the dirt that’s not even clung onto him.
“Shut up,” Peter mumbles to himself, flipping the beef to cook for another minute longer.
Or: Peter recovers and makes amends, but no one told him it’d be this difficult.

Summary
Peter’s eyes narrowed. They were in a deadlock. A competition to see who would break away first. In the end, it was Peter, turning back towards the window and lifting a knee to climb out of it. The symbiote spread back over his face, but before he lept off, Rio grabbed his shoulder. Peter twitched out of her grasp, glancing back.
“Peter,” she said, “I’m not going to pretend like I know what’s going on—”
“You don’t.”
Rio paused, then nodded. “I don’t,” she agreed. “But Miles needs you right now. If you could put everything aside for him, just this once, it would mean everything to me.” Peter leaned forward, ready to interrupt her, but she spoke before he could. “Go. Help. Him. Please.”
Or: Peter’s fractured anger finally rears its head when Miles is nowhere to be found. Kraven is delighted by this new development, and intends to exploit it.

Summary
An ordered collection of my Insomniac Spider-Man oneshots where Peter is buried alive by the hands of Kraven! It explores an alternative universe where that singular event affects how he utilizes the symbiote and how different his relationships develop. It also travels through how Peter processes the event and how the aftermath of it continues to linger long after it’s over.
Main focus is on Peter and Miles, however not exclusive as other characters are featured.
This is inspired by the comic book run: Kraven’s Last Hunt.

Summary
Post 5x14: The panic room was originally meant to be locked from the inside, which is currently giving Dean the first emotion he's felt since Famine laid eyes on him: fear.

Another good divergence on how Sam’s addiction is handled. Fuck, I love soft big brother Dean and this hits every nail on the head. This also healed something in me.

Summary
“Cas! Cas, please! Please, answer me! Cas!”
Castiel ignores Dean for several minutes, but then Dean gives him an opening that might help him complete his mission, so he goes to investigate. What he finds is a very bloody, nearly dead Sam and a frantic Dean trying to stop the bleeding. Dean tells him where the injuries came from, and Castiel quickly becomes confused. It doesn't make sense, but Dean tries to explain it, and slowly... Castiel begins to understand.

Bookmarker's Notes
A suicidal Sam story that’s written so beautiful and portrays depression so well. Also, the bonus of Season 4!Dean being a good brother to Sam heals something inside my heart.
The way how Dean makes the physical fight analogy to help Cas understand Sam’s depression was so well done, and felt on so many levels.

Fluffy sickfic goodness. The weight of grief hangs over the boys and yet they have to wrestle with the fact that their father wasn’t always right. Thankfully, Bobby’s there to help them through that.
I love how caring Dean is in this fic. What a softie. And poor Sam, wrestling with who he is and who he thinks he might become.

Summary
The Frayed 'verse is canon-divergent after the end of season 5. When he's trapped for centuries with two pissed off archangels and a younger brother he can't always protect, in a space where he can never be sure of what's real and what's not, coming back from Hell is really rough on Sam. After he finally finds his way out, alone and frightened, and makes his way back to Dean, Sam has to deal with hallucinations, lifetimes of guilt and trauma, and a whole host of sensory issues. The world is too loud too bright too rough too fast too much, and for Sam, just existing is a whole new struggle. But Dean is there, and they do what they can to make it work.
And thanks to my amazing beta, tarotgal, who always helps me figure out where I'm going in this 'verse. It wouldn't be what it is without you.
(This 'verse is still a work in progress.)

Bookmarker's Notes
This series feels like a warm hug. It’s the ups and downs of recovery, and how hard it can be on both the abused and the caretaker. Sam and Dean are both just trying their best in the wake of Lucifer’s Cage relentlessly tearing through Sam’s psyche, and their love for each other is very much present.
Read this when you just want to curl up one evening and enjoy some hurt/comfort.

Good lord, what a twist. Had my jaw on the floor. It makes me ache and think about all the “what ifs” of this timeline.
I love the “darker” Dean featured here, and the highlight on Sam’s powers. I can always use more Sam powers. Not only that, but we’re not entirely sure who’s crazy and who we can rely on. Is it Sam, or Dean?
The atmosphere was built up so well. I read and write a lot of dark things, but this has managed to make me feel spooked in a way I haven’t felt in a long time.
