Author's Summary: The world is over, and it’s a Winchester’s lot in life to cope with anything – no matter what.

Review:
The world ends while Dean and Sam are asleep. They drive around to look for survivors, finding none, then decide to hit Las Vegas. They go to California to find the perfect house to settle down in. The buy new linens and kitchenware and redecorate their house. They adopt a dog. A cat adopts them. They become intimate because all they have left is each other.

The plot may seem simple (and depressing), but Last Outpost Of All That Is is so much more than that. There is shock, denial, hope, then lost of hope, frustration, and eventually, peace. The author tells a very touching tale of two brothers surviving the end of the world and of their tears and joy without being overly dramatic. The future may be bleak, but as long as the Winchester brothers have each other, they will be fine.

This story may not leave you feeling all warm and fuzzy inside, but it is filled with hope. And love. Even if you don't normally read incest, this one is not to be missed. Highly recommended.

*Nods* I agree, silly me it's the little things that amuse me.

I enjoyed the story btw. Even thought the every ones dead thing is a little outside my comfort-zone. I'm glad i read it though it was well worth it. :D
