Summary
It's easy to hide things when you're seven-hundred miles away. Easier to lie through a screen than locking eyes with those who have shared their souls with you.
Or, a potential missing scene inspired by Chapter 37 and Chapter 42 of Four's A Crowd by Anonymous.

Summary
This is the part where he shakes. Where his vision tunnels, knees buckle, blood drains out along with everything else.
He waits for the rush of panic, but it doesn’t come.
His heartbeat is steady.
He looks down.
Blue. Neon-bright, staining his hands, his stomach, shining dimly in the dark. And then… an electric spark arcs from the tear in his abdomen to the stuff slipping down his fingertips.
-
The angels have fallen, the Gates of Hell are still open, still, Sam is alive, somehow, and after the last year, things with Dean finally feel…easy, easier than they've ever been in fact. But Sam can't shake the feeling that something is terribly wrong, something that will question the nature of reality, and Sam himself.

Summary
Yellow slime clung to the walls of the toilet bowl, and Sam’s stomach dropped in an entirely new way.
Now it made sense.
What coursed through his body wasn’t an overt pain, but pressure—spreading, dividing, duplicating, like something was growing within him.
The fluid from the rat hadn’t been blood.
It was a parasite, and it had found its host.
————————————
Or: Sam is bad at asking Dean for help, especially when he needs it most.

“I, ah. I was in an accident, about a year ago now. Lost a fair bit of my vision, and–“
“Arthur, why the fuck–“
“–a-and the embroidery, on the pillow, it, um. It’s so defined, I can… feel the shapes. I’ve always been partial to the textures of embroidery, I… it’s a floral pattern, right?”
