Everything about this is so perfect that I can hardly believe it. Usually, I'm not a big fan of (post-)apocalyptic AUs, but in this context it felt right somehow. What particularly stood out to me was the brilliant dialogue (with great character voices!) and the gorgeous, slightly worn quality of your prose, which seemed like a translation of S11 Sam's features into images and sound.
My favourite lines (well, all of them really, but especially the following):
He sifts through rubble in the town jail, checks the uniformed bodies and the ones still in the cells with the quick dispassion he’d learned long before any of this started.
“Suspected him of being a hunter?” Sam lifts an eyebrow, bumps Jody’s shoulder with his arm. “You make it sound like a crime.” “Which about ninety percent of it technically is.”
Jody isn’t Dean. She doesn’t simmer and put him off with protestations of ‘I’m fine’ and then explode in a splintery mess of resentment.
This was a real treat to read, thank you so much for writing and sharing! <3
