Title: The greatest of these ties
Author: emmram
Words: ~4300
Summary: Sam is back, but so are his visions: visions in which he sees Lucifer coming ever so closer to reclaiming what was his. Sam knows he's not getting out of this one, but at least he can save Dean.
Warnings: SPOILERS all the way upto 5.22: Swan Song, and a few vague ones for s6. AU. Blood, gore, swearing, mild violence, alightly suggestive scenes, weirdness, metaphor-abuse.

A/N: This is my second submission to the Sam-centric h/c fic challenge for de_nugis ' prompt: "s6 AU. Sam's visions are back. Only now they are always of the same thing, Lucifer and the cage. At first he and Dean think they may just be flashbacks, but they last longer and longer, and Lucifer begins talking to Sam during them, and Cas warns them that Lucifer may be building a kind of bridgehead, finding a way through Sam's powers and the connection between them to slip out of the cage and regain his vessel. Because once Sam said Yes, he said Yes; Lucifer doesn't need his consent again. Could be that the only way to stop him is for Sam to die while he still can."

I've taken a few liberties with the prompt, the most significant of them being that Castiel does not make an appearance in it. The story just happened to flow that way, and Cas had no place in it (because that happens, right?). However, I hope the essence of the prompt still remains!

Genre: General
Characters/Pairings: No Pairings, Dean and Sam, some other folks.
Rating: R
Spoilers: This is an AU. I've taken canon and events from all seasons, but they are more references than spoilers.
Notes: In this verse Sam never dies, so Dean never makes his deal.
Summary: Apparent mistaken identity lands Sam in prison, leaving Dean on the outside struggling to free his brother. Prison isn't a good place for a hunter especially when not all the inmates are human. Locked in a cage, Sam clings to the edge of sanity and discovers Abaddon has a fan. Next in the Two Souls Verse.
Series: Two Souls Verse
Disclaimer: Not ours,just borrowing from Kripke.

Weasel laughed and stepped away. “Now, Sammy, time for that little job I started a few years ago to be finished. Time for you to burn.”
