Aftermath Verse Master Post
Aftermath Verse is my kind of silly name for my post-S5 AU in which Sam and Dean retire from hunting and talk about their feelings. Also, Sam has asthma, mostly because of shangrilada and the fact that it was born on the Sneezy Sammy comment fic meme. There's a lot of asthma there.
The boys will deal with other issues, such as anger, substance abuse, and food-related issues, as time goes on and my crazy brain unspools.
There's a previous fic on this journal entitled "Aftermath." It's not part of the Verse. I don't have to explain myself to you.
I'll be updating this as I go. When it reaches a reasonable length, I'm sure I'll put it behind a cut.
Enjoy the fics. And thanks for making me do this, ottermusprime, 27_jaredjensen, saltfuture, and all the rest.
