Who knew the comfort for migraines could be so aww-worthy? These authors, that 's who! Sweet spots are just Sam getting migraines and Dean knowing how to help.
Let 's get started! 🤗 ❤️
Category: Gen

my thoughts: I loved this fic just bc there were so many nice wholesome moments of inventive caretaking on Dean's part. Aromatherapy, heat packs, back rubs, aww. Dean 's the best brother ever.
What is not Forgotten by authoressjean. Rated G, Gen, 2k words. Summary: "But the one thing that Sam had forgotten above all else was that when a migraine struck, he wasn 't going to have a bed to retreat to or an easy way to reach a cool cloth." Some things come back slow, when you haven't been on the road with your brother in a few years. And some things are never really forgotten.

my thoughts: really cute competent Dean comforting Sam under the onslaught of an awful migraine. The end features sharing a bed when Sam wakes up 😭🥰
Sickbed Confessions. Rated PG, Gen, 10k words. Summary: Watching Sam suffer with a debilitating migraine brings up bad memories for Dean and unresolved issues between the brothers. Sick!Sam Worried!Dean. Brotherly angst. Set in S1 after 1:12 "Faith". #2 in the Bicycle Verse.

my thoughts: best angst ever. this story covers a lot of things, the standout being Sam 's departure to go to Stanford (and subsequent estrangement from Dean) and how upset it really made him. This fic is also a combo of a couple of my favorite fic tropes/themes/whatever: post Faith, and migraine h/c. Really well-written with a shmoopy loving climax of teary hugs and cuddles (my favorite!)
