SPN Canon AUs....

[hells_half_acre]

I got caught up with Mark Watches tonight - he just finished S5 and has started S6.

It got me thinking about what Canon AUs are out there that have a divergent point at the end of 5x22. It was such a big break for the show, such an end point/beginning point, where they really could have gone anywhere from there in terms of plot and characters...

And it got me curious about what storylines other people came up with.... like, for instance, stories like ratherastory's Fusion'verse - where Sam claws his way out of hell and is left with psychological problems and it's essentially a hurt/comfort curtain fic from there....

But there's gotta be other ones, right? There has to be more people who wrote their own versions of what happened after 5x22....

Of course, the problem is that I don't ship things in SPN, so.. yeah, maybe there aren't any stories out there for me - since I don't want Dean/Cas or Sam/Dean....

Blah, I always forget that bit about how hard it is for me to find good fic in the SPN fandom. Especially good fic post S4, when all the Dean/Cas shipping starts. Sigh.

Anyway, if anyone has any recommendations anyway, let me know...

Have you ever read ficwriter1966's Hope verse? She started before the end of season 5, and she never follows canon directly there, just kind of handwaves that there was a huge battle, the boys won, and now they are moving on. It is my truly happy au when the show gets too depressingly insistent on breaking the boys' and my hearts.

I think I have? I'll have to give it a look again to see if it's the one that I'm thinking of, but I'm pretty sure it is.

In anycase, I'm sure I've forgotten enough about it to enjoy it again! :)
