Warnings: Spoilers up to and including the end of Season 6. Gratuitous abuse of reflective imagery and undeserved traducement of the MTA New York City Transit Lost and Found.
Summary: Set in the New York subway, The Allegory of the Cave is a reflective account of images real and imagined, remembrance, desire and obsession. Leaching memory, capturing souls, somewhere a hundred and thirty feet below the streets of Manhattan is an evil the Winchester brothers must face. But there’s a fine line between reality and imagination, and neither brother can be sure of their footing in this upside down world.
Thanks and acknowledgments: Many. To unovis_lj (half this story is owed to her local knowledge) and to shoofus , for ass kicking above and beyond. This story would be nothing without her. To q_i and tygers, handholding and beta reading. And of course, to wendy and thehighwaywoman.
Thank you.
