Devastation and Reform 1/15

Title: Devastation and Reform

Summary: The boys take on a string of mysterious maulings in Arizona but it seems like destiny may be catching up with them. Set late Season 2.

A/N: I started this fic over a year ago but I kept writing some, then putting it off in favor of other fics. When the dumb thing finally got to be over 50,000 words long, I figured I should probably just knuckle down and finish this thing, regardless of how I felt about. It's not my favorite piece of writing, nor is it likely my best, but hopefully it won't be too utterly horrific. I wanted to get it out before they resolved the FBI storyline, since this fic largely deals with that. So though it won't all be posted before Thursday's ep, just know I wrote all of this before seeing it, so it will become quite obviously AU in a few days anyway. Other things to keep in mind: it's set late S2, so small references for everything up until AHBL1.  Also, this starts out slow, but hopefully you'll stick with me as I take a trip into exposition.

A/N2: Much thanks goes to Tyranusfan for the beta, because I know he spent a lot of time on it. Also thanks to Rachelly who says she's never beta'ed before, but it's hard to believe because she's quite good at it. And thanks goes to sendintheclowns who has been with me literally every step of the way. She is a huge reason this got written, so all complaints can be sent to her :)

Disclaimer: I own nothing. Really. No jokes.
