Not everything about hellatus is bad. In fact it's a great opportunity for the fandom to pump up its creativity, and for a few months it allows our imagination to run wild about what's going to happen next. That's how post-finale fics are born, and it's always mindblowing to see so many talented authors we wish could become awesome canon show writers, huh?. And now, with Season 8 starting in less than a month, is there a better time to spend our time than reading through some of the ways in which our boys could be reunited?

Swing Low [Gen, Sam, Dean, Castiel, PG-13, 16k] by
roque_clasiqueAuthor's Summary: Purgatory was a held breath, a closed eye, an unrelenting ache: this was its power. Suspended hope.
Notes by Reccer: A emotional journey in two acts. The first with the best and creepiest depiction of Purgatory you'll ever read, and the second with two broken, yet stronger, brothers who slowly find their way back to each other.

An Unhealthy Attachment [Sam/Dean, R, 2k] by
rivkatAuthor's Summary: The Catholic Catechism describes Purgatory as a way to purify a soul from “an unhealthy attachment to creatures.” Sam and Dean don’t necessarily see it that way.
Notes by Reccer: Fun and light-hearted story that gives us a different and original kind of happy ending, because it doesn't matter where the Winchester brothers are, it only matters they are together. After all, home is where the heart is!

Sheol [Gen, Sam, Dean, PG-13, 4k] by
bellatempleAuthor's Summary: Sam gets Dean back from Purgatory. He knows that Dean's in bad shape, but it'll all be okay if Dean can just recognize who he is.
Notes by Reccer: Sam will always be 'Sammy' for Dean. It's something that not even Purgatory can ever take from him.
