Title: Angel Wings Author: @loverofwingsandcoffee Artist: @moosesammich Rating T Pairing(s): Sam Winchester/Gabriel, Dean Winchester/Castiel, past Jo Harvelle/Charlie Bradbury, mean of past Dean/others and past Castiel/others Word Count: 13,201 Warnings: fluff, humor, slight angst, clows, discussions of guns, mentions of past child neglect/abuse, sexual harassment, Summary: For as long as they can remember the Winchesters and Shurleys have been best of friends. When Sam and Gabriel’s brothers both go missing after a revelation about themselves, they decide to search for them and help them realize their feelings. On the journey across the state, Sam and Gabriel may just realize feelings of their own.

“Gabe and Sam decided to walk around the park after that. The weather was perfect for it: warm, but not too hot. They stopped on the bridge and leaned on the railing too look out at the Falls. They were so close that it would be easy for Gabe to just scoot his hand over and rest it on top of Sam’s. But he honestly didn’t know how that would be received. Sure, they’d been a little flirty with each other all day, but they’ve always been like that” Link to Fic: here Link to Art: here

Each corner holds a tale, each ally a legend, and each citizen an enigma. With all the riddles and secrets that bubbled within the city’s soul, villains erupted. With those villains, came heroes. Villains like Trickster, a man who carries a dark past of being experimented on endlessly, whose only goals is to teach a few people a lesson or two. Heroes like Visum, a man whose powers are endless, but he just can’t figure out how to control. He has so little control that he practically loses himself every time he uses his powers. But, what if those heroes have a dark side, to them as well? And the villains, a light side? Powers can become unstable, heroes can switch sides. Anything could truly happen, and anything did.  Link to Fic: here Link to Art: here

Not to mention his opportunity with a publishing company is slowly slipping into nothing, no inspiration in sight. He sets off to find somewhere to call home and winds up on the doorstep of a secluded lighthouse, seeking reprieve from the storm raging above, where a man with golden eyes spends his nights studying the stars.

The Angels had fallen and the gates were still open. Still reeling from the effects of the trials Sam is just trying to get back in the game with his brother and Castiel to help but nothing seems to be working. Enter Gabriel. Ever since Elysian Fields he’s been lying low, and when the doors to heaven are locked against him Gabriel, stranded on Earth with his Grace intact, seeks to help Sam and get some help himself. He’s taken it on himself to help his newly-human siblings find their way in the world but something’s gone wrong. Someone or something is killing off the Fallen…and Gabriel feels like the only one who can stop it.

This is a re-imagining of what might’ve happened after the finale of Season 8. Besides missing Gabriel fiercely there were a lot of ways the writers could’ve gone with this show and I think this would’ve been a neat way to go.  Link to Fic: here Link to Art: here

Title: Grand Allegro Author: Paperann Artist: @fangirl-litra Rating E Pairing(s): Sabriel Word Count: 60.700 Warnings: Mild self-worth issues, major smut Summary: Gabriel works for a highly recognized, respectable and famous online news site. All his articles are fan-favorites for their quirk and comedy, allowing him to have free rein over his subject matter. Whether it be celebrity interviews, ‘politely’ harassing politicians or reviewing the latest movies. But one of his most recent articles managed to enrage the site’s editor. Mostly because he went behind her back, vigilante-style, to publish it…

For revenge, she’s given him the assignment of covering the grand opening of the New York City Ballet’s Swan Lake. No one wants the job, and the worst part is Gabriel hates ballet.

However, once he catches a glimpse of the leading male dancer he begins to come up with ideas of how to make his article and experience… entertaining. Little does he know, this dancer knows exactly how to entertain and keep Gabriel on the edge of his seat all by himself. Link to Fic: here Link to Art: here

Until one day Gabriel gets one of the worst phone calls of his life, and the only person he thinks of going to is Sam. Not for sympathy, not to talk it out, but to simply be around.

From there comes Christmas at Sam’s with his annoying older brother, hijinks that involve too much glitter, an astonishing amount of jelly beans, a bucket full of jelly and a rather suspicious Christmas tree, and the simple yet poignant act of falling irrevocably in love.

Title: Things To Remember Author: @yes-ima-fluffy-unicorn Artist: @taciturnwind​ /@inspirationmeltdown  Rating Teen and Up Pairing(s): Gabriel/Sam Winchester Word Count: 50,000 Warnings: warnings Summary: This is a story about parallel worlds. An infinite number of them. Some of them are so alike that there’s almost no way to tell one from the other. Almost. Others have practically nothing in common, to such an extent that if you saw them, you would have never believed that they were, at some point in the past, not two separate worlds, but one.

This is a story about the Gabriel who lost his Sam Winchester, and found a Sam Winchester, shredded into billions of pieces, scattered across the multiverse. It wasn’t his Sam Winchester, but still, he couldn’t just watch a Sam Winchester fade into nothing. So he picked up a piece of him, smaller than stardust, and then another, and another. And he started putting this Sam Winchester back together.

This is a story about two beings finding each other against all odds. They were drawn together by one of the fundamental laws of the multiverse, the one we all have encountered at some point in our lives, a tiny part of this law known to the human beings in any world as coincidence.

This is a story of how they met.

And everything that happened next. Link to Fic: Tumblr | AO3 Link to Art: here

Despite the odds, Gabriel Novak manages to cobble together a halfway decent life for his family. But any illusion of normality crumbles away when a half-dead archangel from another universe drops out of the sky. He says his name is Samael, and no matter how much Gabriel doesn’t like angels, this one just might save the world. (Human!Gabriel/Archangel!Sam)

Title: Don’t Let Them Tell You Otherwise Author: @fangirl-litra Artist: @thisshouldbegabriel Rating M Pairing(s): Sam Winchester x Gabriel  Word Count: 21500 Warnings: This has some serious manipulation and attempted non-con from Lucifer. The non-con is only one scene but the mental manipulation is throughout and gets into abusive levels so please read wisely. Summary: It’s another hallucination. It has to be.

Title: All That Glitters Author: @spicarias Artist: @thenarglecharm Rating M / 15 Pairing(s): Gabriel / Sam Winchester Word Count: 35,882 Warnings: Canon-typical violence, sexual content Summary: Sam and Dean are using the Men of Letters Bunker as their haven from the world, when one day an uninvited and totally unexpected archangel - one who should still be dead - turns up at their kitchen table asking if there’s room to spend the night. Made cautious by their shared history, and despite his easy smile, Sam suspects that all is not well with the suddenly resurrected archangel. 

Unfortunately however, monsters don’t wait on such things, and after Dean is forced to go off in search of a missing hunter friend, Sam must work on both the case of a potentially murderous fairy, as well as figuring out exactly what he feels for the archangel that’s suddenly very much back in his life. And if that’s not enough it soon becomes clear that Gabriel may well be keeping secrets.

Title: The Rest Still Shine Author: gabrielwinchhester Artist: @stareena Rating Teen and Up Pairing(s): Sam Winchester x Gabriel Novak Word Count: 23 872 Warnings: Angel bonds, season 9 AU, Non-Graphic Violence Summary: Sam’s just ejected Gadreel from his body, and now he and Dean are trying to work out their many issues as they always do- by ignoring them and hoping they’ll go away soon. Thankfully, they have something to distract them: Castiel’s stolen Grace has made him an angel again, and he needs help opening Heaven’s Gates.

One day while researching, Sam finds an old spell that will restore Heaven and let the angels go back home. Only problem is, the spell can only be carried out by an archangel. Opening the Cage to free Michael and Lucifer isn’t an option, and Raphael isn’t the easiest to deal with, which leaves them with Gabriel. And Gabriel’s dead.
