"You all know the story of Kyanel the hero and his Devaint army. It's sung everywhere now, even by my own grandchildren. For years I have said nothing, but now I feel I must tell the real story. Kyanel was my brother, not a hero, he was simply human."
The Apocalypse is ancient history, along with humanities various rebellions. It seems the world has settled to accept it's fate under the dictatorship of the once Archangel Michael, holy powers long since limited.
Yet it is in this world that five children, reborn from blasphemy, wish to free humankind. Here's the twist, humanity hates them. To the world they are called Deviants, creatures who are not human nor angel, some twisted state in between that is feared. A group of forced together freaks, who are far from heroes, as they try to navigate a world so wretchedly holy they find themselves fighting both angels, demons, humans and everything in between.
In this family of Deviants is a 19 year old boy named Kye, with no memory of his past beyond his own death. Disillusioned and on the edge, Kye is lost and haunted as one name continually shadows his memories; Gabriel.
This is a story about not about heroes, but about five broken Deviants. Angry, alcoholic, drugged up, uncontrollable, peaceful, volatile, forgiving, kind, unemphatic, cruel and sweet, they must find a way to accept the past, survive the present, and try to find hope for the future. Yet with everything against them from Archangels to their own flaws, this becomes a tale as complicated as human life. It tears them to the edge, and pulls them along with a string of hope.
This isn't a story about the beginning or the end, it's about the hope and fear that is humanity as they live through the middle.

-REWRITING-
Twenty years ago, the angels descended and revealed themselves to the world, delivering what they called God's Judgment Day. The war that followed reshaped the earth and shattered the balance between species. When the dust finally settled, humanity wasn't wiped out - but they weren't free, either. Humans became little more than pets and servants, bound to their celestial masters under the new world order.
For Kye, an ordinary girl just trying to survive and care for the family that still depends on her, life in this broken world means keeping her head down and following the rules. Serving her angelic employer isn't easy - especially when her heart begins to blur the lines between duty and something far more dangerous. It isn't perfect, but it's manageable.
At least, until her adoptive sister Ruby asks for one small favor - the kind of favor that could destroy everything...

Thank you all to those who have been reading up until this point. This is an alternative universe fanfiction that doesn't require knowledge of the show Supernatural to enjoy it. I wrote it in 2020 after the show ended. This is my very first writing project anywhere so the pacing, word choices, and grammar have a lot of room to improve.
