Why this must be read:
Set after the events at the end of S4's A Cock And Balls Story, Cat's "Brimstone", originally written for thesecret_ids challenge takes a unique look at Keller's operating room death and vision of Hell.
His sins come back to haunt him here, as do the nightmarish realities of Cat's take on his childhood. It's obvious from canon that whatever it was that Keller "saw" during his brief death terrified him to his very core, and Cat has created a fantastically vivid, scary, and real-feeling Hell here, filled with just the sorts of images Keller's Catholic upbringing might lead him to fill in:
"His stomach clenched, and the air was yanked from his lungs as he tumbled downward in a darkness that sought to devour. It grew ever warmer, and his skin began to burn. He twisted in the nothingness seeking to escape the confines of his flesh, but it held on tight. Screams drifted up from the darkness, shrieks that made his ears ache. His back hit something solid, and the substance seared his skin. The screams grew louder, but this time he recognized the sound. It was his voice."
