Supernatural: The Hunter's Inn Season 1 (Supernatural AU)

By the fall of 2005, The Hunter's Inn has stood for twenty-five years as a refuge for hunters and their families. Tav and Val Whitlock still keep its doors open, with their children Zeke and Kayla helping with the day-to-day work. Just down the road, their eldest daughter Sarah Whitlock tends the Whitlock Research Library-a quieter kind of battleground filled with lore, sigils, and stories that remember more than people do.

Life around the Inn has settled into a fragile peace until a late-night message from Sam Winchester breaks the stillness. John Winchester is missing, Dean is back on the road, and the wards Sarah carved into the stones at the edge of the property begin to hum with warning.

Season 1 traces the first tremors of that returning darkness-from the rain-soaked orchards of Kansas to the haunted highways of California-as old connections spark back to life. The Hunter's Inn once again becomes more than a refuge; it becomes a watchtower, its lights burning against the gathering night.

Most of the characters are not my own. They belong to the TV Show Supernatural.
