S7 coda: Fading Away

[etoile-etiolee.livejournal.com]

Warning: Spoilers for the S7 finale

Originally written for s7 finale Dean-focused meme hosted by the awesome mad_server for this prompt: Just 'cause this has been in my head all day, and the coda I started on seems to be going in a slightly different direction: A human trapped in Hell eventually becomes a demon. So what happens to a human trapped in Purgatory? Gimme some monster-turning!Dean. Non-vampire, please, since we done seen that in canon. . . .

Title: Fading away

Word count: 3000

Summary: Dean is back from Purgatory.  Except he's a little different.

Warning: pg-13 for language.  Can be seen as a deathfic, but not really.

Reccer’s comments: I suggest you read author's note to this story, because Mirrordance has some warnings of her own. Long story short - it's sad. It's tragic, really, but if you like to hurt as much as I do... Yes, I strongly recommend you read it if you haven't yet.
