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.

Some podfic/audiobook versions 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:

1. 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.
   
2. 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. :)
   
3. 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.
   
4. 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.
   
5. 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*
   
6. 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).
   
7. 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.
   
8. 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. ;-)
   
9. 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.
   
10. Will other questions be answered, if asked? ... Maybe. Depends on the question. The only way to find out is to go ahead and ask.

Story so far.......

[shazpa.livejournal.com]

I'm a serial lurker but you've forced me out of the closet! Please write more or update or anything .... I can't cope with all this waiting.

And the lists! Showing us all the fics we can't read. :(

The stories so far have been amazing and my heart breaks for poor Dean. I love Evil!Sam.

Please update. Don't make me beg .... Oh wait, I am!

Mwah Mwah Hugs and sexy Wincest dreams

Re: Story so far.......

[writingbyebonio.livejournal.com]

Oh ... well hello there! I didn't even realize I HAD lurkers. So, ya know ... thanks for dropping me a note. May I ask why you lurk? No judgements, I swear, just curiosity, honestly.

As for the list, yeah, sorry, it's really rather more for me and for those people who kind of want a better sense of the timeline, since I have habit of posting things out-of-order. It is kind of torturous on the one hand, because you can't read them yet, but I think it also excites some people because they can know that there's so much more yet to come.

And umm ... I'm writing in this 'verse all the time, really. Although, I admit that most of December was spent working on Christmas-challenge fics. Mostly, my problem is not so much a lack of writing as a lack of chronological writing. So, for example, my main focus right now is "Training Day", which is already almost 16,000 words, BUT my muse just spent the past four hours making me add 3,000 words to "Retraining". I tend to write better when I let my muse run amok, so I try not to stifle her with deadlines. I do, however, intend to finish and post "Training Day" by the end of the month at least. Even if I have to beat my muse with an evil!sammy stick of whoop-ass.

Yeah ... so that was me rambling about the creative process ... but, in conclusion: I AM writing, I WILL update, and thanks for de-lurking, even if only momentarily.

Holy Crap!!

[shazpa.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much for letting me know that you'd updated your Evil!Sam Verse. But oh dear god Dean - I'm coming to save you. Evil Bastard Sam! Grrrr I've read both of them twice already and they still leave me in a gooey puddle. Looking forwards to more Broken Dean. ;}

Re: Holy Crap!!

[writingbyebonio.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I'm glad they were re-readable! More on the way, as always.

[(Anonymous)]

I think your Evil!Sam came to life last night...and he was just as scary as I expected.

Yours

The embarrassed girl

[writingbyebonio.livejournal.com]

Yeah, scary ... and AWESOME! Not to mention ... HOT! LOL!

[(Anonymous)]

And now that I think of it, so did your Dean (well, minus the Wincest part).

[writingbyebonio.livejournal.com]

He did peak out there, didn't he. The whole never-gonna-give-up, with-you-even-if-you're-evil thing. *nods*

[deroshia.livejournal.com]

hi, dear, I read your series of ' After The Day Of Fire', I like them very much and I want to translate them into Chinese so many SPN fan girls in China could enjoy them.

May I do that?

I would be glad if you could give me the permission.

Thank you *^_^*

[writingbyebonio.livejournal.com]

Hey there,

Wow! I'm so glad you liked this series! It's such a big compliment that you want to be able to share it with Chinese-language fans! Go ahead and translate it. Just give a link back here, if you can, for those people interested in the original version. Oh, and I don't have any Chinese-language skills, but I'd still love a link to the site when you post it.

Thanks for the feedback and for sharing my work in Asia.

Much Luv,
~D

[deroshia.livejournal.com]

Oh~~~~I am sooooooo glad you allow me to do the translation, and I will give the link after I post the translation.
I will try my best to do my job.
And please write more slash and I really like Dean to be tortured by Sam XDDDDDDDD


Thanks again^^

[deroshia.livejournal.com]

hi, ebonio

would you mind give me you email address? So I could give you the link, username and password and you can see the chinese adition The Day After The Fire^^.

PS: how can I read the unfinisded slash here?

[writingbyebonio.livejournal.com]

Sure, it's eboniorchid@gmail.com

And as for the unfinished slash, it's not posted yet. Those are just place-holders, so the readers know what's coming up next.

[deroshia.livejournal.com]

Get it^^

Please check your email^^

[idiot4dean.livejournal.com]

Love the stories. Keep coming back to see if you've updated.

Looking forward to more.

[writingbyebonio.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much! I'm working on a few things, as always, but I'm not quite sure when they'll be ready just yet. But I'm sure you'll see it when it goes up. :)

[akm30.livejournal.com]

just checking for more updates. I can't wait for more of your fics. They are amazing.

[writingbyebonio.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Yeah, I'm certainly working on this 'verse. Dean's jabbering away in my ear all the time, I swear, but I'm not sure when the next one will be up exactly, so just hang in there a little bit. :)

[phoenix-bellamy.livejournal.com]

Going to rec this in spn_hth if you don't mind ;)!

[writingbyebonio.livejournal.com]

Oh wow! Thanks! No minding whatsoever, honey! XD

[hanyo-alchemist.livejournal.com]

I've been reading fics left and right and... god, you've broken me. I've been crying through the After fics and I cannot wait for you to post more.

[writingbyebonio.livejournal.com]

Really? Oh wow, thank you! I'm so glad you're liking it. And I won't make any promises about when the next installment will go up, but I'm hoping to work on it some more this weekend. *cross your fingers* :D

[mossylawn.livejournal.com]

Where have you been all my life? I've been searching for a story like this for ages now.
-bounces off to read-

[writingbyebonio.livejournal.com]

Oh goodness! I do hope you're enjoying things so far. There will likely be an update before the month's done, so keep an eye out! Always glad to have new readers. :)

[(Anonymous)]

I've posted anonymous before so here it goes:

I'm really loving this story and I completely understand the violence contained in this story. Dean is a stubborn boy! :) It was very well written and Sam's inebriation and Dean's desperation were amazing character developments. I have my own ideas of how the story will end depending on whether I'm feeling EVIL, naughty or nice. Most of the time I'm feeling evil with flecks of naughty bits. But this 'verse belongs to you My Queen. I waiting patiently for the rest.

[writingbyebonio.livejournal.com]

Thank you! It's always great to hear that the edge in this series is understandable and that the characters are coming through clearly. The endings to the series might actually fit under evil, naughty, and nice all at once, with a dab of angst tossed in because ... duh. :) As always, there is more to come!

[curtainpull.livejournal.com]

Heya! Just thought I needed to come here and thank you for giving me amazing nucleur powered plot bunnies.
Basically, I haven't actually read many of these stories, because I know that I won't be able to take them, given the warnings! But I was reading the summary, and it sent my brain of on a crazy path, where I was thinking....what if Sam was like, really busy being evil, and didn't have time to have sex? Wouldn't poor Dean be bored?
Anyways, the result has been crack-fic. It's sort of like the "Meanwhile, in a happier, gen-ier alternate universe" version of yours, but set after 2.22. Its not close enough to yours to creadit or anything, but this is definitly where the inspiration came from. I've written two stories set there now, and am plotting a third, and felt like I wanted to come thank you! *g*

[writingbyebonio.livejournal.com]

Oh okay. Interesting. You should send me links. :)

[mre-quecky.livejournal.com]

I'm curious and waiting for more...
So when will the next chap be up???
PLEASE make it soon...

[writingbyebonio.livejournal.com]

Well I'm certainly glad that you're eager for more. It looks like there'll be an update before the end of the month.

[akm30.livejournal.com]

hey,
just checking for any updates. You know, I am totally obsessed with this verse, to the point where I often fantasize about it.(I need to get a life)
Anyways, can't wait for more!!!

[writingbyebonio.livejournal.com]

Oh, I understand. It pretty much runs full-speed through my head 24/7, so ... yeah. But I'm glad to hear it's not just me who's a little obsessed. The next update should be up before the end of the month.

[stillhere2.livejournal.com]

I love this 'verse, and I check here often for updates. I devour everything you write. It's fantastic. Can't wait for more!

[writingbyebonio.livejournal.com]

Yeah? Thank you! I'm glad you're enjoying things.

The next piece, "Whore Academy" should be up within a week or so, so keep on keeping an eye out.

[fromyourashes.livejournal.com]

i've been lamenting the lack of porn that interests me lately. in fact i think i may have made a post just yesterday or the day before about how i have READ ALL THE DAMNED PORN.

so, thank god for this - and the fact that for once i read the author's notes and clicked the links - otherwise i would have simply read the updates!

this ought to keep me occupied until the next round of porn comes in. LOL.

it looks so good - and i should comment every chapter - warning you now that i won't, especially if it's good.

good writers won't see a comment from me til i hit the end, usually meaning i am WAY too engrossed in the story to be bothered to stop and *gasp* comment.

doesn't actually have to be a bad thing, not seeing comments from me. LOL.


...........unless you get all the way to the end, and still nada.

rotf - this looks awesome, and i've had way too much coffee but am still tired so am typing a lot. a lot of crap.

ok i'm done! muah! going to enjoy your story!

[fromyourashes.livejournal.com]

one thing- this order thing - confusing as hell.

is the first one i'm meant to read entitled "The Heat Outside Would Never Warm Him"? Cuz i'd like to read them the way you meant them to be read but i'm STILL getting the hang of lj and the go earlier crapola. lol.

It took me a whole night to get my brain back in gear and comment...

[kkathyslash.livejournal.com]

The minute Evil!Sam appeared on the show, I whooped out loud - I knew fanfic writers would have a heyday with that version of Sam.

Your series is the most breath-taking of the lot. The stories are seductive and lyrical in their violence. Your depiction of the gradual degradation of Dean and the slow desolation of his soul are enough to warm this fangirl's jaded heart.

I bow down and worship at your feet!

Re: It took me a whole night to get my brain back in gear and comment...

[writingbyebonio.livejournal.com]

Wow! Thank you. What an amazing response to this work! I'm really honored that it's having such a profound impact on you and I hope that you enjoy the rest of it as it goes up!

Also? Thanks so much for the lovely recs all around. I really appreciate it! :D

[akm30.livejournal.com]

just checking for updates. You know me, I can't stay away. This is my fav universe. Looking forward to more!!!

[writingbyebonio.livejournal.com]

Well, thank you for your enthusiasm. I'm working steadily on the next section, but I don't have a clear posting date just yet. I hate going too long without posting in this 'verse, though, so there should be something up soon, but it'll probably be next month. Just hang in there, okay?

[idiot4dean.livejournal.com]

Still looking for updates.

Looking forward to more.

[writingbyebonio.livejournal.com]

Yeah, the next installment is at the betas already, so ... hopefully before the S3 premier. :-)

Great Fic!

[(Anonymous)]

I've noticed you've not updated it for quite awhile.....have you decided to not continue with the series?

Anyways thanks so much for what you've written so far. It's fantastic!

Really hope you plan on continuing.

Re: Great Fic!

[writingbyebonio.livejournal.com]

I'm still working on this series all the time. I'm absolutely continuing it. The next installment is already at the betas. RL has just been kicking my ass a bit. I do hope to have that next part up soon, though, so don't give up on me yet, okay? :)

[akm30.livejournal.com]

I am dying for more of this verse. Will there be more soon? Sorry if I'm bugging, but this is my favorite verse and I can't wait for more. Your verse totally rocks!!!

[writingbyebonio.livejournal.com]

You're not bugging me, I appreciate your enthusiasm. I'm working on the piece, but RL has been kicking mine and my betas collective asses so, I can't give you an exact date right now, but yes, there should be another installment up soon.

[nephthys101.livejournal.com]

I wasn't paying attention to the list of stories until now.
