Summary: Lucifer is back in his Cage, but one averted Apocalypse doesn't mean much in the face of another, more human one. Sam Winchester, the Archangel Gabriel, and a man millennia out of his own time have wandered into a small Kansas town, where they get to deal with tree thieves, suspicious sheriffs, shady characters, political in-fighting, looming starvation, and the occasional pagan deity passing through. It's just one damn thing on top of another after The End of the World. [Crossover with JERICHO (tv series)]

I read a lot of fic (especially long fic) on my Blackberry, using either the Kindle app or MobiPocket, and AO3 is great because I can download the entire story as a single MOBI file directly to my Blackberry from my mobile browser without having to load files to Calibre on my netbook and convert them to MOBI and then load them to the phone. (And if I'm using MobiPocket to read it, the links still work -- handy if the story turns out to be part of a series, for instance.)

That sounds very useful. I hope you enjoy the story when you get the time to read it.
