» AN: This was one massive journey from beginning to end. I still remember desperately scrambling to figure out a plot for my first ever foray into the world of the SPN J2 Big Bang, and I'm forever grateful to the people who have helped me arrive to my final decision to tackle this plot in particular, something I've wanted to write about for quite some time. Special thanks to
samanddeandriel (Hope) for beta'ing this fic. A million thanks to Anne, the artist, for being so responsive and imaginative with her gorgeous art (which you should all go check out ASAP because it's
fantastic). More thanks to my friends on Tumblr for listening to my blabbing on and on about how far behind I was falling, how badly I was procrastinating, and how annoyed I was by my own writing. Every word was encouraging and I can't thank you all enough!

» Summary: The apocalypse rolls on as planned, with no Dean Winchester to interrupt, and Lucifer wins. As a result, humans are rounded up into camps and used for food and entertainment by the now-dominant monster and demon species. Adam Milligan, once the vessel for the archangel Michael (who is now presumed dead by the world at large) works as a bartender earning his keep, but his life is once again turned upside down by the appearance of Castiel. The angel asks Adam to look after none other than a weakened Michael and keep him safe from the demons who might want to kill him. Now Adam has to decide if Michael's really worth protecting, and if he is, what that means for both their futures.
