Dean Winchester is a Preacher, from a long line of Preachers. He believes unreservedly in The Revelation of The End Times; he sees the evidence of its truth in the desolate dying world all around him every day. The End is coming. It is unstoppable. Humankind’s destiny is a foregone conclusion.

And then a Hunter arrives at Dean’s Church and asks him a frightening question: What if the future isn’t set? What if The End of Days can be stopped?

The Hunter’s name is Sam and he speaks Heresy. But he also knows Dean far better than any stranger should, and Dean quickly finds himself captivated by the man’s vision of a better future.

And so begins an epic quest across the Badlands: a quest for knowledge and truth; a quest for freedom; and, ultimately, a quest for humanity’s very existence.

Big Bang 2018

Wincest | AU | Explicit | 50 K | AO3

raised apart | powers!Sam | Postapocalyptic AU | hunters as an ethnic group

I have been brooding over this rec for more than a week. I started reading the story and knew I would want to rec it about halfway through, finished it, started the post and then…nothing. Since it’s hiatus I spent some time thinking over S13  and somewhere along the lines I realized I needed to approach this fic like the latest season of Supernatural:

Just go by feel and ignore the details. 

This fic feels like Supernatural of the new era. It’s the fic for people who are nostalgic about ‘early SPN’ but who embraced the different tone, colors and music of the ‘new SPN’. It’s a story for people who still love the show and who still feel that ‘thing’ we all feel when the show does good.

You liked the idea of Apocalypse!world: This fic plays with a postapocalyptic world too. This one comes with a lot more worldbuilding and adds Hunters as an ethnic group into the mix. Definitely check out the fic it was inspired by, it’s a great one that I should rec one of these days…

You liked seeing all your old faves come back: They’re all here too! Mary, Charlie, Kevin, Bobby and a host of others make this story a beautiful family reunion.

You love a good callback to the early seasons: Strap into your seats friends. This fic is pretty much made of references, easter eggs, quotes and canon plot lines with a twist. It’s so much fun!

Ok but the Wincest…?: Also happening, no worries. A lot of pining, heated glances and battles with the ultimate enemy ‘personal space’ 🙂 Also, a pretty good resolution to the “Oh God, we’re brothers?!” reveal and smut that earns the explicit rating.

All in all I call this a successful beginning to my personal Big Bang season and if any of the above is your thing you will enjoy this too!

Ok, I want to read it! Now give me the link!

Do you agree? Completely disagree? Have a rec for me? Or do you just want to talk fic with a fellow addict? Come talk to me!

My fave so far this year!
