Supernatural

A collection of post Devil's Trap stories. Given the nature of the ending all bar maygra's are death fics. Sob!

There Will be Blood by sacrilicious

Gen

When Sam is near, Dean can feel him, an awareness etched into his skin, his breath, woven into the worn threads that make him Dean. There is a black
void now, and the threads, frayed and hastily knotted together over the years, have snapped. He doesn't need to hear the words. He knows

On a Steel Horseby trollprincess

Gen

Sam and Dean are gone and John is left to fight alone. As distressing as that concept is this is actually one of the more hopeful of the fics recommended. You sense that John could fight on without his boys but that if he had been the one to go they would have been lost without him. You end the story with the feeling that the boys are far more of a threat to the demon dead than they ever were alive. Powerful.

When you salt and burn a body, its spirit goes away without fail. Hard and fast rule, that one is.

John wonders if he forgot to tell that to his boys
when he gets in the truck to leave Bobby's place and Sam and Dean are sitting in
the cab arguing over the music on the radio.


Crash by maygra

Gen

Dean must rescue Sam after the Demon takes him after the crash. Beautifully written and featuring a deeply chilling depiction of the Demon it leaves you with the sinking feeling that for Sam and Dean the nightmare will never be over - they'll be hunted till their dying day.

The demon chuckles "True. I can find Sam, Dean. I can find your father. I can find you. You've all got my mark on you now. But you did save me from
being shot by your brother. That's a favor I won't forget soon. I always pay my debts. I'll save you for last."

This one just killed me dead. Its's Sam and Dean in the immediate aftermath of the crash. The depiction of a physically and mentally broken Dean screaming for his mother had me in tears. Haunting.

Sam pulls himself closer to Dean, like he did when he was a child, and when he only saw death in his history books and not in his brother's eyes. They no
longer have a father, and their mother is gone. Sam wonders if they can still be sons if both their parents are dead.

The Ice is Thin by mona1347 and poisontaster

And this one broke my heart into a thousand pieces. The boys are just so broken in this fic - they're nothing more than wraiths, pale imitations of themselves. The depiction of Dean breaking down in Sam's arms in the dead of night is very powerful.

All he has is Dean. Broken, still breaking, Dean. Silent Dean.


Except in the dark. Except with Sam.

Dean speaks.

Here via spnnewsletter, so I wanted to say thanks for the rec on my fic, and also for the helpful recs on the other fics, too. I've been gone for awhile, so it's hard deciding where to start my reading, and thus far, all of your recs have given me good places to start! :)
