Summary: A man wakes up in a ruined wasteland, without memories, without a name, without knowing the strange guy who claims he used to be an angel, or that he once had a little brother. All he knows is that the world is dying, everyone is lying to him and that somehow, somewhere, something went terribly wrong. Because someone said Yes when they should have said No, and someone else paid the price.

He’d once promised Sam he wouldn’t lie to him.

Wow, what a comment! Thank you!

Concerning Jena you are... totally not wrong. And it's not the last we've seen of her.

The thing with purgatory came in as the sixth season progressed. I've had this story roughly mapped out from the beginning, but it often happens that I want to move from plot point A to plot point B and realise that I need to add some plot points C, D, F and Y to get there. Or in other words: I knew the guys would have to go against Lucifer in one way or another, but I didn't really know how until I got there.

The story is disided into two parts in my mind, and the next chapter will be the finale of the first part. The downside of that is that I will take an extended break after it. I'll keep writing, but I won't upload before I have a certain number of words (worth three chapters or something) so I won't have as much stress keeping up with the posting. The good news is, I'm nearly done with the several big bangs I have taken this year and will have more time for this story, so it won't take that long. I hope.

Especially since everyone liking this story will want to skin me alive after the next chapter.

Anyway, thank you so much for this comment! It made my day!

Oh man, you can't say I'm gonna want to skin you alive right after you say you're taking an extended break! SO NO COOL. And wow, this is gonna be a long one, isn't it. I think I'm gonna have to re-read it during your little hiatus! And I'm so excited we get more Jena!Gabe. I think I'm just gonna stick with calling him Gabe so I don't confuse myself =P but it's awesome he'll be around ^_^

Fair warning, this story gives me lots of feeling, so I might end up leaving ENORMOUS comments on all the chapters as I re-read it. Or possibly writing like a paper on it or something and sending it to you in a message. I really wish I could use this for some kind of school assignment...I should find a course it would work for haha.

Wouldn't it be awesome if fanfic analysis was a class in school? During my own school days we once had an assignment in English class (which I always got bad makes in) that had us analyse a picture of our own choice and I chose a pic of my then favorite artist I knew from the internet. (A very manly and macho classmate of mine chose a screenshot of Kirk and Spock from Star Trek and talked about their epic friendship. It was awesome!) /random

Let me just tell you one thing: If there is an author out there who minds enourmous comments, it's not me. I'm delighted to read them, and I'm very curious to learn what you think about my story!

I'm also very happy the fic has such an impact on you! I hesitated a long time before posting it because I didn't think I could interest anyone in a fic that's all about Dean and Cas running through a wasteland while really being all about Sam who isn't even present. As it turns out, I only have a few readers, but the ones I got are awesome! Thank you so much!

Confession...I read the first two chapters mostly waiting for Sam to show up, but then I somehow got completely and utterly hooked and I love it just the way it is now. /guilt

If fanfic/tv show analysis was a major, I would 4.0 those classes SO FAST. But no, I have to (hopefully) major in something useful like Comp Sci and barely pull a 2.2 in calculus. College doesn't play to my strengths =P

Nothing wrong with going into the fic like that. I've done it often enough myself.

Having little knowledge of the American college system I only have a vague idea what you're talking about, but I completely agree!
