Last Outpost Of All That Is

Last Outpost Of All That Is is a slash Supernatural apocafic by gekizetsu in which Sam and Dean find themselves the only living humans left on earth.
The story was inspired by Alan Weisman's book The World Without Us and the later A&E TV documentary Life After Humans which showcased what would happen to the Earth if all the humans disappeared at once. It is considered a fandom classic and is one of the most notable fanworks for the Wincest ship (Sam/Dean).
The story was written in 2008 for the spn_apocasmut challenge and is 61,700 words long. Maygra later wrote a 3,440 word coda, Not for Samson in the Temple.
Rhea314 recorded a podfic of the main story and coda, which is hosted at the Audiofic Archive.
Several fan artists created fanart for the story and in the fall of 2011, after the story was recommended on Tumblr, it inspired a series of animated graphics with quotes from the story.
:"The world begins with the interruption of a sleep. Which is why wakefulness is the only proof of existence. And why the world is fragmented and cannot achieve fullness. And why it constantly seeks to reconstruct fullness. In vain, because the discontinuous will never pass over into the continuous. Mathematics tells us that, last outpost of all that is." ~ Roberto Calasso, Ka
