A spiritual journey back to the belovèd, Siraj Aurangabadi’s epic narrative poem from 1738 presents a happy male couple split by deceit, sending one off on a quest to find himself and the true nature of God’s primary gift to humanity: love. Along the way, he meets a colonel’s son who offers him lifelong devotion, but our brokenhearted hero must be on his way again, to meet his ultimate fate, alone.

What Happened:

After the Cage was unlocked, Michael, in his human vessel of Adam Milligan, left the deepest level of Hell to return to Earth. Michael wants to seek out the Winchesters for vengeance and information about what happened. Adam is left feeling empty. Dean left him behind and saved only Sam, so he doesn’t want to confront them and acknowledge their rejection of him.

Now...

Alpha men and their Omega male partners live, work, play, have sex, and raise their children together. When one of those children fails to present as either an Alpha or Omega, the beliefs of their happy life begin to be challenged. This story is an original work but is inspired by the characters and actors on the popular paranormal CW show Supernatural (2005-2020). Knowledge of the show is not required to understand the story.
