Summary: A man wakes up in a ruined wasteland, without memories, without a name, without knowing the strange guy who claims he used to be an angel, or that he once had a little brother. All he knows is that the world is dying, everyone is lying to him and that somehow, somewhere, something went terribly wrong. Because someone said Yes when they should have said No, and someone else paid the price.

( Perhaps it has to do with the fact that none of them ever thought they would have a future, and now they do, they are lost in it. )



And this is it. Ende. Finito. After almost two years of writing and more than 240,000 words altogether, this is the end. There will be more from this 'verse - one or two timestamps, a prequel I'm writing for a minibang - but the main work is over. On the one hand, I'm very, very happy to be free of this because it was incredibly time consuming. On the other hand, I am actually tearing up as I'm wiring this. It was such a huge part of my life for so long.

What remains for me to do is to thank everyone who stuck with this story from beginning to end and kept me motivated with their comments, speculations, and undeserved praise. Special mention has to be made of minviendha, my beta without whom I would never have found the courage to start posting this, and of sinka, whose unwavering support and enthusiasm made sure I never missed the deadline for a new chapter.


For anyone who would like to download this work I, you can do so on AO3 here.

( “Jena found a way to defeat Lucifer,” Dean says without meaning to, and Sam’s face lights up, it fucking lights up like his brother just told him the best thing ever and Dean fucking hates everything. )
