After centuries of incessant war, Reader finally managed to settle down into a normal human life; she attended medical school, bought a house, made friends that didn't make a habit of killing everything that moved. She was out of the life, out of Hell, and she was enjoying the fact. When a shattered Sam Winchester shows up on her doorstep after five years of silence from the man, however, Reader is forced to decide between delving back into the life--threatening everyone's safety in the meantime--or sacrificing the beloved Winchesters in order to keep the peace she managed to obtain.
[Takes place during season 10, so there will be some spoilers]
[Some swearing, fairly heavy alcohol usage throughout, violence (obviously)]
AUTHOR'S NOTE: IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN END OF SEASON 9 DO NOT READ THIS!! SERIOUSLY!! DO NOT!!
(Have you looked away if you're not caught up?)
This is going to be graphic, we all know what they are planning for Season 10 so I am bringing my dark A-game here. Dean is a Demon, he's going out to play.
This is starting after the end of Season 9. Demon Dean sees things in a new way, no consequences, no loyalties, no family. He likes it that way but he knows that Sam won't exactly be won over to this new point of view. Sam is his only real threat, no one knows him better. The First Blade is singing to him and what better way to cut ties with his old life than to truly cut ties.
Sam knows just how far gone Dean is and he knows that following the patterns from the past will only get him killed. Dean is a Knight of Hell and has become the monster that they have always hunted. Saving Dean may not be an option but Sam's not quite ready to give up just yet. The files of the exiled Men of Letters member Magnus gives him an insane idea. An idea that may just give the brothers a chance to make a choice, together.
