Why this must be read:
Author's summary: When the end comes, one brother is on one side, and the other on the opposite.
I'm shocked that this hasn't been recced already and gleeful that I get to do it. Crossovers, when done well, teach you something about both (or all) fandoms and characters involved. Set the whole premise at the end of the world, and it's either going to be a hell of a ride or hell of a let down.
This fic is the former. It explores the lives of mutants through the Winchester brothers, taking us through the events of X-3 through outsider eyes, and shows us more about both worlds than I ever imagined possible.
This is a great read.
Sam’s powers manifest when he’s ten, when he tears half the house down.
----
Their lives are weird enough that something as small as Sam being able to destroy everything he touches hardly makes a blip in their radar for the longest time. The word Mutant starts popping up in the newspapers, though, and Sam once gets beaten for shredding a notebook by mistake. Dean teaches him some moves, and the next day, Sam gets expelled for giving the offender a bloody nose and a black eye. He chants It’s not fair, it’s not fair, it’s not fair, in his tiny, broken voice for a day straight, and Dean goes white-knuckled with indignation. He pats Sam on the head, tells him everything will be all right and that the town sucked, anyway, and then he goes and breaks into the principal’s house and writes ‘Asshole’ on his bedroom wall in neon green paint.
Sam’s a smart kid. He learns to make people see him the way he wants them to.
He spends most of his teenage years trying to be as normal as possible, all polo shirts and big smile and perfect grades, fitting in everywhere he goes. Dean, who wears ratty Metallica shirts and bangs the entire cheerleading squad under the bleachers and organizes burping contests in the cafeteria doesn’t get it, finds the idea of being just like everyone else absurd. Then he catches Sam using his powers in secret, hands against a rusty pot that crumples onto itself, and sees the look on Sam’s face, both exhilarated and appalled at his own taste for destruction. He stops leaving the half-sarcastic, half-truthful notes on his pillow or school books saying Be yourself, Sammy, you’re a beautiful butterfly as you are! surrounded by pink hearts. The little bitch didn’t appreciate his tender brotherly gestures, anyway.
Sam’s powers are an incredible help on hunts. Or whenever they can’t find the can opener. Dean encourages him to use them, goes as far as inventing excuses in which he may need them, because he figures they’re a part of Sam, just like a kidney or something like that, and he might need them for living, whether Sam likes it or not. With a little training, Sam’s powers actually evolve, become strong enough that he doesn’t even have to be in contact with whatever he wants to destroy. Dean actually swaggers the day after the breakthrough, smugly takes all the credit and Sam calls him a fucking idiot, laughing.
For the most part, he just wishes Sam didn’t have to be so alone.
---
Dean manifests when he’s nineteen, almost on the verge of turning out to be human after all, and the look on his father’s eyes, the pained one, has him silent and withdrawn for a couple of days. He says he likes it, though, having another way of being able to keep his family safe.
Sam likes it too, secretly, mostly because it means that he’s not alone anymore.
