FIC! Ringwall (masterpost)
So about a year and a half ago I signed up for an AU big bang. I got a whole rough draft done, then Things happened and I realized I wouldn't be able to get the thing whipped into shape by posting and pulled out during artist claims. I figured I'd come back to it someday, fix it up, and maybe use it for another big bang.
Two problems with that. One: my brain wandered away from the idea and hasn't managed to make it back yet. Two: using the rough from a big bang I had to back out of at a super awkward moment feels really tacky.
So, while I signed up for the spn_j2_bigbang this year under the presumption that I'd just edit this sucker for that, I've given up and am posting it as is.
I present to you, unabridged, untrimmed, unrearranged, in all it's rough-draft glory:
Ringwall

Rating: Teen
Cateogry: Gen
Wordcount: ~33k
Warnings: Mentions of maiming, government oppression, and terrorism; drug abuse and addiction; some bondage; abuse of invented profanity.
Summary: In early November, 1983, the apocalypse kicked off with a bang and a series of whimpers. More than twenty years later, it's still going on.
The human population of the world has spent the last two decades gathering together in walled cities scattered across the planet, using tricks old and new to ward their new homes and keep out angels and demons alike. The most successful of these, a bustling little city called Perdition, is the home of one Sam West, a war orphan grown up knowing nothing but Perdition and its massive, imposing wall. He's done well for himself, despite his inauspicious beginnings. He's managed to land himself a gig working for Perdition's mayor, and even been given the responsibility to plan out the city's 20th anniversary celebration. Everything seems to be going his way, right up until he spots a strange man on the steps of City Hall, a marked criminal with a shadowed past who's been haunting Sam's dreams for weeks. Dean Winchester seems to stand against everything Sam's been working his entire life towards, so why is Sam so drawn to him, and what, if anything, does he have to do with Sam's mentors' insistence that Sam himself is destined to put an end to the apocalypse?
