Notes: I posted this as a oneshot a while back, but it's gained a lot of traction since then and has been updated quite a few times! Feel free to check it out on AO3 and fanfiction.net. Feedback is always welcome, thank you so much! It's a pretty dark universe, so heed any warnings included in the chapters!
Summary: An alternate universe where Sam is taken in 9x23, Dean lives through his ordeal with Metatron, and a lot of horrible things happen. Trapped in a fighting ring where hunters and monsters are pitted against each other, Sam just tries his best to survive and not completely lose himself in the process.
Chapter eight added - things get better. Sam carries on as best he can.
Warnings this chapter: suicidal ideation mentions, mental trauma. Full of juicy Sam angst.
"Sam takes up hunting, but animals. Not monsters. He likes it, likes to exist in a world people rarely touch. He grows some things. Poorly, but he does. He boils water and catches rabbit and chops up brains and makes a stew for a kitsune. It’s almost kind of funny. He apologizes mentally to whoever it belonged to. He hopes they understand, he doesn’t have time to check for the red dot on their driver’s license."
