Suite!Verse

Suite!Verse is an post-apocalyptic AU slash Supernatural fan fiction series written by leonidaslion.
According to one artist inspired to create fanart for the series, the Suite!Verse "is a gloriously dark and beautiful 'verse in which Sam has fully become the Antichrist, in both powers and personality, and Dean is imprisoned not only by force, but also by the obsessive love they both still have for each other."Gifts for leonidaslion: Suite!Verse post by charlieblue, 10 Nov 2008.

The plotline of the Suite!Verse is deceptively simple and takes place mainly inside a suite of hotel rooms (hence the name Suite!Verse) in which Sam has imprisoned Dean.
To save Dean from going to Hell, Sam has voluntarily embraced the role of the Anti-Christ and triggered Armageddon. As the world burns around them and demons enslave the human population, an increasingly demonic Sam begins to chip away at Dean's will through alternating acts of of sex and violence. Caught between lust and fear, Dean struggles with the hope that his brother can be redeemed and slips further and further into the Stockholm Syndrome. As the series progresses, Dean loses more and more of his agency and personality, leaving the reader to wonder what, if anything, of Dean will remain at the end.
The series intertwines acts of physical and psychological torture with graphic violence and non-con sex. Although it is popular among many Supernatural fans, it is extremely disturbing and upsetting to some readers. In spite of (or perhaps because of) its dark themes, the stories have inspired a wealth of fanart, fanmixes, and fanvids.
Juice817 recorded portions of the series as podfics, which are hosted at the Audiofic Archive. In 2009, the series won The Sinchester Award for Best Slash- Long Story.
The series was not written or posted in chronological order, rather jumping back and forth in the timeline of events. It is still a WIP, and as of February 2012 reached over 300,000 words. Stories as of February 2012 in the story's internal-chronological order:

==Reactions/Reviews==
==Fan Vids==
* No One Else is Living This Way by loverstar. This is Dean and Sam's twisted love story that only makes sense if you were tragically left with nothing but the love of your brother. Sometimes one can be overwhelmed with love to do absolutely terrifying things.
* Pet by loverstar. Sam's intentions of keeping Dean safe go too far. To many raders, the song represents the themes of the Suite!Verse series with its themes of obsessive love and destructive dysfunctional relationships.
* Suite!Verse Trailer by loverstar
