In many of these fanfictions, the demons are the main antagonists. They are the ones who carry out the torture on Sam. They might have different motives, like revenge for Sam's past actions against them or simply following Lucifer's orders.
Some fanfictions introduce original characters as antagonists. These could be powerful demons or other hellish creatures that have their own reasons for wanting to torture Sam. Maybe they see Sam as a threat to their power in hell or as a means to gain more power by breaking him.
Often, Lucifer himself can be a major antagonist. He has a personal vendetta against the Winchesters, and in the context of Sam being tortured in hell, he could be the mastermind behind it all. He might be using the torture to break Sam's will and turn him into a weapon.
Some fanfictions focus on the nature of the torture itself. It could be physical, like being burned repeatedly, or psychological, such as reliving his worst memories over and over. The theme of Sam's transformation during this torture is also common. He might become tougher, more cynical, or even find a new sense of purpose in the face of such extreme pain.
It could be the traditional villains from the original story. Maybe some of the old enemies of Percy who have a vendetta against him. For example, the Titans or some rogue demigods who oppose him for power or personal reasons.
Another option is a group of demons who have a vendetta against Clary or the shadowhunters in general. They might use torture as a way to break her spirit and gain information about the shadowhunters' defenses.
Yes, there are quite a few. Some might focus on an alternate universe where Sam and Bella meet and team up to fight supernatural threats.

Well, 'The Winchester Legacy' is quite popular. It might explore the long - term impact of the Winchesters' actions on the supernatural world. 'Dean and Sam: A New Beginning' could be a fanfiction where they start fresh in a new location, facing different types of creatures. And then there's 'The Protectors Winchester' which shows how they protect not only each other but also the innocent people around them in a more detailed and unique way.
It could be the traditional villains from the original story, like the Titans or some powerful monsters. They might torture Percy to get information or just to cause chaos.
Typically, in bella and sam winchester fanfiction, there is a strong focus on their relationship. It could be a slow - burn romance where they gradually fall in love while dealing with the perils of the supernatural world they inhabit.
Their friends could also be antagonists in a sense. For example, if there's a friend who has always had a crush on Freddie and is jealous of Sam. This friend could spread rumors about Sam being a bad influence or try to convince Freddie that he's making a huge mistake by staying with Sam and having a baby. Another scenario could be that their friends don't take the situation seriously and keep pressuring them to act like they used to, which makes it hard for Freddie and Sam to focus on the pregnancy.
It could be that the very concept of the hellish order itself is the antagonist. If Naruto wants to bring a more positive change, the established rules and the entities that enforce them would be against him. For instance, the guardians of the different levels of hell might not want Naruto to interfere with their way of doing things and would fight to keep the status quo.
There could be a powerful overlord in Hell who rules the place. Naruto's presence and his potential to grow strong might be seen as a threat to this overlord's power. So, this overlord would be one of the main antagonists, constantly sending minions or directly confronting Naruto to keep him in check.
