This has got the flavour of really good sf stories that I grew up on, that kind of post-apocalyptic, humanity-preserved-for-the-amusement-of-the-machine, kind of thing.
God. I don't know which is more powerful - that Sam/demon!Sam keeps Dean alive because he wants SOMETHING from him, or that Dean is convinced, against all the evidence, that Sam is still there somewhere, or that Sam might be, or that he might not be. I completely buy that Dean would never give up, because while there's Sam there's hope (and vice versa).
This is really excellent writing, it fits hauntingly into canon (or potential canon), but I think it stands alone as well. Awesome. As you can possibly tell, I liked this a hell of a lot.
