Title: Devil's Trap
Prompt: by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
hoodietime: I was kind of bummed when Alastair died. I thought he was one of the show's best villains and I would have have been really interested in them exploring his relationship with Dean further. So, what I would like to see is an AU where Sam is unable to kill Alastair in 4x16, or else he comes back to life SOMEHOW (I'm not especially picky about the details here, haha, and if you go this route the fic can be set in season 4, 5, or at some undetermined point in the future.)
Anyway, basically I'd just like to see the Dean/Alastair relationship explored. Dean knew Alastair for longer than he's known SAM – what does that do to a person? Does Dean have a touch of Stockholm Syndrome? Does he miss the pain, since it was all he knew for so long? If you go the sexual abuse route, how does that effect someone as sexually active as Dean? How would it would affect him if he had the threat of his old torturer gunning for him constantly hanging over his head along with everything else? Etc, etc.
Original prompt can be found here.
Spoilers: All aired episodes, right up to 5.14. Minor spoilers for 5.13, and pretty major ones for 5.14
Warnings: Blood and gore and bad language. Umm... lots of gore. And torture. Oh, and implied dub-con.
Word Count: 3,770
Disclaimer: After this, I think Dean is probably really, but really happy that I have no real creative control over him.
Neurotic Author's Note: Uh, crap. I have to apologize tohoodietime, because this only resembles her prompt in the vaguest way possible. I tried really, really hard to work in comforting!Sam, and that sort of never happened. In fact, the whole "comfort" part of the h/c equation kind of pretty much doesn't happen here. This was originally a completely different story (it was going to be a casefic, if you can credit it), but the story ended up kind of sucking because I didn't have a proper handle on the characters, and I had to scrap it. Then I re-wrote it today.
Neurotic Author's Note #2: This one got really, but really dark on me. I'm not sure why. I think watching 5.14 depressed me. On the other hand, it was watching 5.14 that finally unblocked the story for me, so I dunno.
Neurotic Author's Note #3: I think this ought to be considered mildly AU, in that I've radically altered Dean's behaviour post- "On The Head of a Pin." It assumes that he's actually a lot more broken by his stint in hell than what the show actually portrays.
Neurotic Author's Note #4: This is my first attempt at non-linear fiction. Apologies in advance for taking liberties with the space-time continuum.
Neurotic Author's Note #5: This is unbeta'd, for the record. All errors and unhappy syntax belong entirely to me.
