An Introduction to the Evil!Sammy Universe
Working Title: What You and I Were Meant to Be
Basic Premise: Sam, part-demon, is forced to embrace his darkness and aid the demonic war machine. As humanity loses the war, Sam takes Dean as his slave. But, of course, that's not the whole story.
Summary to Now: The Big Secret was that Sam was part-demon, conceived during a possession. When Dean told Sam the secret, Sam freaked out and ran off, both so he could find answers that Dean didn't want to look for and so that he wouldn't endanger Dean if he went rogue. While they were separated, Sam got kidnapped, brutalized, trained, and reprogrammed over the course of 8+ months by the demon's people in preparation for the war. Then Sam was returned to Dean, who was unaware of the kidnapping and reprogramming, with a reasonable cover story, and they hunted together again for almost a year while the demonic war machine was revving up. Humanity basically lost on the first day of the war and Sam, rather than kill Dean, took him as his slave. Dean is, of course, having a rough time conforming, but harsh discipline and the threat of a drugged existence push Dean to submit. He tries to hold on to hope for himself and for Sam, but he's slowly breaking and he still knows so little about Sam's part in all this.
WARNING: This is dark!fic. Yes, sex is a part of the plot, but there will rarely be moments when darkness, angst, heavy kink, and even violence won't share story-space with the sex.
Major new installment now available! More on the way!

The Chronology of the Evil!Sammy Universe
A Note About the Chronology: If you're eager, then just jump in wherever you want and if you get confused, you can always go back and/or ask questions. Since the story was written to be read in the posting order rather than in chronological order, however, I would STRONGLY SUGGEST that you ignore the chronology except for basic reference and actually read the work in its original posting order, which is listed just below the chronology. I actually think it makes more sense out of chronological order than it does in chronological order, especially with the current list of unposted works, but whichever way you choose to read it, I hope you enjoy it. And feedback is always greatly appreciated.

Frequently Asked Questions (F.A.Q.) for the Evil!Sammy Universe:
- Why does it take so long between updates sometimes? ... Although I write in this 'verse as often as I can (usually a bit every day), I am just like the rest of you and have school/work/family/friends/life things that need attention at times. Don't let this worry you, though. No matter how addicted you are to this 'verse, I promise that I'm at least ten times more obsessed with it. It plays like a TV show on the projector of my mind pretty much all the time and I love it too much not to want to share it with someone, namely, all of you.
- Why aren't all of the stories linked? ... Because they haven't been posted yet. They aren't locked or located elsewhere or anything. They just haven't been posted yet. This is still a Universe-In-Progress. :)
- Is Sam actually, really, totally, completely, irredeemably evil? ... It's all up for reader interpretation, but I do think that there is always some of the old Sam left in him.
- Is Dean actually, really, totally, completely, unfixably broken? ... It's all up for reader interpretation, but I do think that there is always some of the old Dean left in him.
- What happened to the Impala? ... Theoretically, it's just outside, but Dean obviously hasn't seen it and Sam doesn't talk about it, so its status remains a mystery … at least until later installments. *coughfuckedupandnecessarycough*
- Why do you have two endings? Couldn't you decide on just one? ... Actually, depending on your interpretation of this universe, you could say that they both happen and not just that either could happen (like most things with multiple endings).
- Why does the list of titles change sometimes? ... As I continue to work on the various chapters of this universe, sometimes a previously untitled chapter gets a title, in which case I'll add it to the list, or I'll decide that one of the stories already on the list should have a different title. It's just how I work.
- What about mytharc? Where is it and where did you get it from? ... The mytharc for this universe is actually all over the place. It becomes more prominent in later sections, but it has been there from the start. As for where it comes from, it's a fictionalized amalgam of a variety of philosophies about the cosmos. If you absolutely must know what traditions I drew from specifically, then drop me an email. ;-)
- Is this available on Archive of Our Own (AO3)? ... It will be mirrored onto AO3 starting in July 2013 with "Clarity," but previous works will also be uploaded as time permits. This is the ESU series page on AO3.
- Will other questions be answered, if asked? ... Maybe. Depends on the question. The only way to find out is to go ahead and ask.
