Summary: They averted the Apocalypse, but getting Dean out of Lucifer's clutches wasn't the end of the brothers' nightmare--only the beginning. Now, Sam's a renegade. He has the power of the Four Horseman at his fingertips, but all he really wants is his big brother. Forever. And what Sammy wants, Sammy gets. Except Dean, still bearing the physical "scars" from his interlude with Lucifer, has plans of his own, and he won't back down, no matter what Sam throws at him. What he does, what they do to find each other crosses the line from creepy into downright macabre, but when have Winchesters ever done anything half-assed? This is
Subject Two meets
one determined sibling.
This is what happens when the Antichrist plays God

Where to start?
The story it self - When Tracy came to me with this idea and asked if I’d seen Subject two, I was kinda excited because it was something completely unique and different and dark and weird lol And I still feel the same way about this piece. It started off very angsty, in fact I think I made myself depressed writing Dean alone and in search for his renegade antichrist!brother. *pets dean* I’m wondering if this is the darkest fic I’ve been involved in? lol And perhaps I should be worried I’m having to think hard. Anyway, this one is up there with the rest. We end up hurting our boys to the point of death, repeatedly! Then hitting reset and doing it again. Therefore there are much needed bits of dark humour and crack thrown in for good measure. You’ll see some interesting characters and additions, there were many a times I had to take that crack pipe from Tracy, she just couldn’t help herself. LOL But you know what? It works. I think there are just about the right amounts to smooth things out and because we have such a deep and layered story which weaves to and fro, back and forth in time etc it has built something that’s far deeper than what is on the surface.
What’s important for me in fics is that no matter what’s thrown at the boys, whatever they are put through, they still remain brothers. I think, I hope, we still kept that. And that’s the happy end to this fic, plus a field with pink flowers. Yes there is a happy ending, I swear! LOOK HARDER! lol
It’s been not only a privilege but also a pleasure to work with Tracy on this story, my first co-write, first big bang piece, my first fic where I kill Dean lol. And I’m glad to say I don’t think it’ll be my last (not the killing Dean part). However there’s no denying it was a challenge, but a good one and another great big learning curve. lol We were also super lucky to have
