- Description:
Go back to the beginning . . . and take a different road
John never married Mary, Dean never became a hunter, Sam never had a father. While Dean grows up in a typical loving family, Sam is raised as a guerilla hunter cut off from normal society. They are thrown together for the first time when the yellow-eyed demon attacks Dean's family. Dean abandons his life as a college student and musician and takes to the road with Sam. Now they are fighting side by side, searching for the demon that killed their mothers and trying to save John.
This is an episodic AU serial that mimics the formula and style of the original Superntatural show, but with an ongoing slash romance subplot manifesting mainly as UST nuances in the early episodes. Each episode has a self-contained adventure plot and can be read as a stand alone story.
