Summary
The fire was only the beginning.
Dean Winchester is four years old when his world burns down in Lawrence. With Mary and John gone, he clings to baby Sam like the last piece of family left to him. Foster homes, cold nights, and whispered promises carve Dean into something far too sharp for a child his age—but nothing can stop him from swearing to protect his little brother.
By eight, Dean has already picked up salt and Latin, chasing shadows through the dark. But when a hunt goes wrong and Sam is left standing alone over his brother’s pyre, the youngest Winchester is forced to grow teeth far too early.
Survival turns into hunting, grief into determination. And when Sam crosses paths with a Trickster who should be nothing more than a monster, the lines between fate and family blur. For the first time, Gabriel hesitates.
Because the boy in front of him isn’t just another human. He’s a child forged in fire and grief—and he looks a little too much like destiny.
