Last Outpost Of All That Is (NC-17)
G'day, I'm ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
missyjack and I am behind the wheel of the Supernatural crack van this month - so watch out! I read across every genre of fic, so hopefully I'll be reccing something you like this month. And I am starting with possibly my favourite Supernatural story - The Last Outpost of All that Is.
Fandom: SUPERNATURAL
Pairing: Sam/Dean
Length: 61,700 words
Author on LJ:eighth_horizon

Why this must be read:
The world ends while they’re asleep.
So opens this brilliant story - Sam and Dean wake up one morning to find the world as they know it dramatically changed. They take off on a journey across the country to find answers: to what has happened , but also to who they are, and how they are to live, in this strange, devastated new world.
As an end-of-the-world tale should be, this one is epic in scope and its tale, and there is an unrelenting sense of tension and disquiet throughout. But it is also an incredibly intimate story.
For me its power is in its emotional resonance, how the theme of Sam and Dean's journey, whether to keep moving or settle, ties in with their emotional journey – both individually and together. They indeed both search their own inner landscape for answers, there are challenges and hazards on the way but eventually find their home in each other.
It’s also a story populated with the most wonderful details of day-to-day survival, which makes it all the more real and draws the reader in, on a "what would I do?" level. If the apocalypse does come a print-out of this story would be a useful survival tool!
The boys are canonically in character - and so is the whole tale, so it's filled with great humour and brotherly banter, tension and mystery, and angst. Most of all you will feel this story at your core.
