Fic Rec: "Swing Low" by
roque_clasique
May. 29th, 2012 11:05 pmI just finished reading this fic over the past couple of days and had to rec it. It was one of those fics that I had a hard time putting down.
This is about Dean's (and in a smaller way Cas's) time in Purgatory. It's dark, damp and visually stunning along the emotional toll it takes on poor Dean. The author's vision of Purgatory is wonderfully descriptive and I truly hope we get even some hint of this in the beginning of Season 8. Poor Dean suffers a lot (you know how much I love that!), but in the end of the story there's the brightness of hope and lots of brotherly love as well. :)
Title: Swing Low
Word Count: 16,000
Rating: PG-13
Spoilers: all of S7
Warnings: Gore. Permanent injury.
Summary: Purgatory was a held breath, a closed eye, an unrelenting ache: this was its power. Suspended hope.
Part 1
Part 2
