Prompt: Sam/Dean, I am Legend (Richard Matheson)
Whispers spread from ocean to ocean, carried on wind and rain, through the dirt, up to the stars. Lucifer's wings block out the sun and lightning flashes as thunder roars, splitting the sky.
Whispers become screams become sobs become silence.
Finally, when Lucifer is weary from war, as his hordes lower their swords and his onetime brothers and sisters collapse on the ground, a man steps forward. The Winchesters are long thought dead and gone, but this human has Sam's eyes and Dean's smirk.
Who are you? the End of All Things asks the soldier, preparing to smite the final man from existence.
Dean Winchester broke the first Seal. His brother broke the last.
The man grins at God's Adversary, God's Destroyer, and raises an old gun. He doesn't speak as he pulls the trigger.
When Lucifer dies, it's too late for humanity and the angels. And the only human left alive walks through cowering demons and angelic corpses to a gleaming black car that shouldn't run but does. He plays Metallica so loud the car throbs and drives west, towards a sun that, for some reason, is still around to set.
