1. when in doubt, don't throw it out by
de_nugisGenre: gen, angst, curtain!fic

Tags: substance abuse, alcoholism, depression/PTSD, comfort!food (chili)
Rating: R
Word Count: ~430
Warnings: references to alcohol issues, some dark imagery
Summary: Sam puts out the recycling.
Reccer's Notes: There are fics that are just these bright kernels of words that are Made For Each Other. This is one of them:
Part of him still wants to shout at her. Ask her if she knows what a goddamn miracle it is that Dean climbs back, every time. (Every time so far.) If she knows what it takes. How maybe Dean needs those hideyholes he’s got bottles stashed in, needs them for handholds, just to climb back. 2. Untitled by
sparrow_latelyGenre: gen, angst
Characters: Dean, Sam
Tags: fever, depression, headache, stress, cold, cough, self-esteem issues, exhaustion
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: ~4300
Warnings: None.
Summary: He’s cold and his throat itches and God, is he tired. He’s running out of fuel.
You make a terrible soldier, he thinks to himself.
Reccer's Notes: This one is from our very own meme; it rocks the hurt/comfort across the board, in all the most excellent ways, but its expression of both Dean and Sam, Dean's various perceptions of Sam, and Dean's perceptions of himself is really what makes this unforgettable for me.
3. The entire
Meme Masterlist, because this whole shindig has been so much fun. If you've missed a few art pieces and fics in the 1400+ comments the meme has amassed, take a peek and see if any of the prompts sound like your kind of deal! (And if not, there's always more to write and draw, ;D.)
♥ Happy August! ♥
