Summary
SPOILERS: If you've watched 8.01, you're good. This is not really Season-8-related though, it’s pretty standalone.
Summary: A simple hunt leaves Sam in an altered state no one seems able to explain – at first. Pulling him out of it proves harder than expected, especially since Dean is already struggling with the effects of his own trauma.
This is a semi-AU in which Cas didn't survive Swan Song, Bobby wasn’t there for the cemetery showdown, and both he and Ellen are still around. Sam escaped the Cage with his soul intact, but not without a price.
Warnings: Language, occasional graphic reference to the torture Sam endured in The Cage; kidnapping (though not central). I may add individual warnings to future chapters.
Triggers: While this fic has no sexual content, and mainly keeps to show-level violence, it deals in part with loss of power and with severe lack of autonomy, which can still be triggering to some. Also, Sam is extremely dissociated for a lot of this. If you are a trauma survivor – especially if you're dissociative – please take this into consideration.
ETA: Occasional self-injury in later chapters. There will be warnings.Bookmarked by faikit
