BB Art 2010: The Angel and the Devil, Heavy On Your Shoulders (toldthestars)
This is my first year doing spn_j2_bigbang, and I couldn't have been luckier in my choice of stories.
My lovely author, toldthestars, has been very patient with me over this, despite my having been devoured by RL for most of May. She's incredibly sweet and her fic completely floored me (it's that wonderful), so make sure you head on over and read it here.
Thanks to wendy and thehighwaywoman for organizing this behemoth of a project, and thanks to my mutual cheerleader laru_tan_repus for encouraging me in pretty much every one of my endeavors and generally being a darling.
Summary:
This AU jumps the tracks a little after the beginning of season four. The Apocalypse is coming and hopes of saving the world are dim. Dean’s been sprung from Hell, but isn’t quite off the rack. Sam’s determined to help his brother deal with the side-effects of forty years in the Pit, until he’s hit with a nameless illness. Dean struggles to do the best for Sam, while navigating nightmarish visions, angry angels, and his own conscience. In trying to save each other, the boys lose their way in a world where enemies and allies, good and evil, and love and hate bleed together into a gray fog. In the end, Sam and Dean discover that it isn’t about right and wrong, it’s about what you can or can’t live with.
Art warnings (spoilery for the fic): A moderate amount of gore, torture, and incest. Character death.
