Summary: Season 6 AU, with spoilers for all of season six. Sam spent six months in the Cage, but he wasn’t alone. A year after losing his brother Dean abandons civilian-life to take on a hunt that’s left a trail of bodies over the last six months in a pattern that he has no doubt is about him and he discovers Sam is in the center of it; all of it stemming from the Apocalypse and tied in with the civil war in Heaven.
Author's Note: I'd like to thank the mods over at
sabriel_mini, for all the work they put into creating this mini-bang and all the support and help they offered throughout. You guys are amazing and it was a privilege to be a part of this first round. I'd also like to thank my lovely artist
rubystandish who did such an amazing job on the art for this (I'm particularly in love with some of the chapter headings). And finally my betas. You guys were fantastic at getting the chapters back to me quickly and dealing with my mini-freak-outs every time I sent you the next installment. So thank you so much to
wincest_whore,
alice_alaizabel who were there for all of it, and
glimmerellawho was an enormous help for the first three sections. And a big thank you goes to
insertcode11 who read the final draft of this, and corrected all the mistakes that I added after the other had taken the first look. Of course, I have done even more editing after all these lovely people took a look, so any and all remaining mistakes are mine.
