Warnings: Violence, blood and gore, nudity, gladiatorial fight scenes, kidnapping, imprisonment, physical punishment, whipping, minor character deaths, hurt!Sam, hurt!Dean, major Dean!whump, non-explicit references to torture and rape in Hell
A/N: Set season six, between The French Mistake and …And then there were none.
Story is mostly canon compliant, although Sam and Dean find out about pureblood werewolves earlier than in canon. This story owes a debt of gratitude to the Angel episode The Ring…in case anyone thought it seemed a bit familiar!
Summary:
When Dean disappears after a hunt in Montana, Sam will stop at nothing to find him. As he tears up the Mid-west looking for answers, Sam learns that it’s not only hunters who are disappearing; monsters are being kidnapped too.
Meanwhile, Dean awakes to find himself locked in a cell. Being held captive sucks, but he knows his brother will come for him soon. Until that happens, all he has to do is kill monsters in an arena. In front of an audience. Wearing sandals and a leather skirt.
It’s not as much fun as it sounds.

[Thank-yous]A huge thank you to Dizzojay for her incredibly inspirational art prompt that sparked this whole thing. I accidentally big banged. But wth Gladiator Winchesters to work with, who can blame me! I got gorgeous additional art pieces too. Please check out her art post and tell her how wonderful it all is!
A big thank you to Endlessevelina on Tumblr for the beta read and to 9Tiptoes for the super last minute look over to make sure I hadn't included any bizarre Australian words or phrases!
And a final, massive thank you to the spn_reversebang mods for once again putting together this fun, friendly challenge! This is my third year taking part and it's always so much fun!
