Word Count: 19,000
Warnings/Spoilers Binding sex magic, claiming/marking, references to both Dean and Sam's time in Hell (in other words – vague mentions of torture). Potentially dub-con.
Spoilers through 6.11
Summary: Sam has his soul back, but the brothers aren’t quite as home free as they’d hoped. Dean doesn’t realize that there’s still an outstanding contract on his own soul, meaning that unless they come up with a plan before the demons can figure out who gets to collect on it, he’s still bound for Hell and all his worst memories.
The answer comes in the form of an old adversary who can provide Dean with the protection he needs. All he has to do is offer everything he is to Gabriel’s alternate persona. To Loki.
But even when the ritual is complete and his soul firmly bound to a being he’s not even entirely sure he trusts, he’s still left fighting enemies on all sides. The armies of Heaven will stop at nothing to get to Castiel. The wall keeping Sam’s sanity intact is not as structurally sound as it should be. Demons are itching to come after Dean. And the archangel-turned-pagan-god at his side is annoyingly persistent in trying to win his affections.
Dean figures they’re all pretty much screwed.

Summary: Lucifer’s done, finished, and the apocalypse is over – though apparently, no-one told the demons and horsemen. God puts the boys on clean-up duty but their plan requires a deal with Death and it may well cost one angel his soul-mate. Meanwhile, Heaven has to adjust to a new mandate and the return of their Father with Sammael. It’s a fine line to walk, between allowing your angels free will and maintaining authority on that celestial plane, and one archangel is finding the reality of God’s return more difficult to handle than he’d imagined – all of which spells potential disaster for humanity.

Summary: AU post 5.19, 'Hammer of the Gods.' Gabriel is brought before God to answer for all that he has done ―for good and for evil. He is given one last chance to redeem himself, a task that ranks among the most important his Father has ever entrusted him with: Sam Winchester. Gabriel is confined to Purgatory ―a place as changeable as it is dangerous to those not accustomed to its ways― along with the infant soul of the man who brought down the devil himself, tasked with mending it after its long ordeal in the Cage at the hands of Lucifer and Michael. Sam's work on earth is not yet done, and if Gabriel is to have any chance to return to Heaven and be restored, he must help Sam's soul to heal before Death thrusts it back into Sam's body ―which still inhabits the surface of the earth― and in the process, maybe learn to heal himself.

With demons using a doll to their bidding, tempting Sam with demon blood, and Dean getting attacked by man eating urinals it’s up to Gabriel to get them to perform their roles as Lucifer and Michael, but Sam feels that Gabriel’s deadly pranks and ways of handling things is not the best way to get the Winchesters attention.

Now, the Trickster finds himself faced with two choices: leave the Winchester brothers to their Fate, stay hidden from forces he’d been avoiding for centuries and survive the coming battle any way he can, or tell the Winchester brothers the truth of the prophecy into which they were born, expose secrets that could cost him his immortal life, and dare to rewrite Destiny… all for the sake of love.

Summary: Both Michael and Lucifer walk the Earth in alternate vessels. Castiel is still weak from turning himself into an angelic suicide bomb to free Dean from the Beautiful Room. Time is running out, and even with Gabriel as Sam’s mate and a small cabal of other angels loyal to him over Michael on their side, the odds refuse to skew in Team Free Will’s favor.
Even so, Dean and Sam never could have guessed the trap being laid for them one stormy night on a lonely highway in Indiana, nor the sacrifice it would take to free them.

Dean Winchester has more than one destiny, everyone does, his is to sire more than one brood of children, to more than one angel. Cass has always been Dean's first love but when he was more honest about it, Gabriel was there too. Then Balthazar and, Lucifer! There is also the preservation of the multiple Earths which God created, one in particular that might have been made for Gabriel, with its free range toffee pigs. Gabriel was around when everything was switched on by God, showing how old the archagnel actually is. One big happy family which sometimes is missing an angel, Lucinda who returns one fateful day and things start to spiral out of control for a time. Dean and Lucinda have to get things back on track. Skip a few years and The A Team is out on it's first mission but there is a danger in that kind of work, getting a taste for it. Dean and the big family are almost out of their depth when TriffidGod comes to sort out His mess, and make a certain little group into good little Nephilim, hopefully. But more importantly will Dean, Gabriel and the rest of the family approve of what TriffidGod did?

Warnings/Spoilers: Um, warnings for a non-Christian writing about Christianity? Brief mention of attempted suicide. My alpha and beta readers both said it was very emotional?
Notes: Big thank yous to my beta reader mutedbyfear without whom this would have way worse grammar. Any errors you find are all on me cos despite firmly believing the damn story is cursed and not wanting anything else to do with it, I can't stop touching it. And thank yous to my alpha reader dodger_sister who reassured me it didn't suck and it did make sense. Two things ran through my head constantly during the writing of this story: the song Violin by Amos Lee and a mangled quote from Buffy about how monsters don't change. Neither helped the cursed thing get done any faster, but it gives a frame of reference as to where my head was at for the story.
Summary: Gabriel: from heaven to Winchesters. Or: You can choose new family but the old is still there.

Somehow Gabriel seems to have taken these words to heart, on more than one occasion. Especially when those occasions happen to collide with the interferrence of certain hunters; namely Sam and Dean Winchester. Even zapping his baby brother out of the way so that he can get away with it, if it happens to come up, then it comes up. Then he gets a one way trip to Surprise land. However there's a bigger picture here, not just the lessons from a frustrated old archangel. Who is trying in vain to convey to those two knucklehead Winchester Brothers. But something else. Something bigger than a stinking prize fight; and Gabriel and Sandy know it.

Warnings/Spoilers: Some explicit sexual situations, language, assault.
Summary: Gabriel’s never been very much good at anything in life, apart from cooking and entertaining a crowd. It only makes sense that he should try and bite off more than he can chew by becoming a TV chef. While Kitchen Heaven succeeds in their small home state, it’s not exactly the household name Gabriel wants it to be. With the help of his brother-producer-financial backer Castiel, and newly hired assistant Sam, he’s going to try and get syndication from a national network. It’s hardly as easy as pie, and it only gets worse when Sam’s trouble-making brother turns up and the studio owner sets his sights on Castiel.

Rating: NC-17
Word count: 41k
Warnings/Spoilers: Spoilers through to the end of season 7. Various forms of PTSD, as we’d expect of Dean and Castiel following the end of season 7. Moderate angelcest. Slightly sexual dom/sub elements (used to a specific therapeutic end rather than as a regular dynamic in the relationship), including edgeplay and not-exactly-mindsex. Moderate-level sexual situation initiated by a character who isn’t capable of fully conscious consent. Amnesia. Strange narrative voice, as the P. O. V. character begins the story semi-formless in mind and body, and the narrative style gets clearer as he relearns himself and the world around him. Swearing, in Dean and Gabriel’s dialogue and (increasingly as the story progresses) in the narrative voice.
Summary: A Purgatory fairy tale. Finding Gabriel in Purgatory is only the start. Steeped in Purgatory’s Lethe effect, Gabriel has forgotten everything about himself and the world - or has he? Dean is determined that he’s getting all of them out Dick-land and back into the real world, but when one angel doesn’t believe he deserves to get out and the other one doesn’t know what out is, that’s easier said than done. Sequel to La diritta via era smarrita. It isn’t necessary to have read it to understand this, but it's only 3500 words, so it’s really more of a prologue.

Summary: Gabriel Novak counts on his luck to get him through all the hard roads, and it’s never failed him yet. He manages to get out of Dodge quick enough to put his past behind him, and for a while, lives in England with relative peace. Then the war swings around, and Gabriel’s in the midst of the fighting, the marching, the bloodshed and the dead, and he starts to think that, maybe, being lucky isn’t the great gift he thought it’d be.

Genres and tropes: High school AU, pining
Summary: Sam and Gabriel have been inseparable since Gabriel saved Sam’s ass from some bullies in elementary school. But everything changes with an ill-timed kiss at a New Year’s Party, and all Gabriel can see wherever he looks is old memories of him and Sam. Now, Gabriel is left tail-spinning, drowning his sorrows at a bar and reliving some of Sam’s and his greatest hits. Everything seems to have taken a turn for the worse, and then the greatest tragedy of all strikes. Gabriel’s always heard it said that the darkest hour is before the dawn, but him and Sam are so tangled up in heartache and self-destructive tendencies that Gabriel has no idea how any of it will end. AKA the all-human AU where Gabriel is a pining best friend, Sam is an oblivious dork, and there are all the romantic, gushy cliche’s that we all love and live for. Also, Gabriel really should have just convinced Sam to take that road trip with him.

He certainly wasn’t looking for a weekend fling. Dean Winchester has been doing a good job of hiding his burn-out from running his diner and taking care of his brother Sam, who’s battling leukemia. He was sent off for the weekend, kicking and screaming. He definitely wasn’t looking for anything out of the weekend other than a nice massage. What neither of them know is that they’re already connected - by one of Gabriel’s patients, Emma Crowe.

Summary: Richard’s life is far from ordinary, even if he is just a high school teacher and maths tutor on the face of it. But for those who know him however, Richard is much more than that. Oppa, big brother, family. Growing up in two technical families gets even more interesting and complicated as Richard finds out when your surrogate baby sister gets big brothers of her own. More than him to just worry over her, especially when she runs away from home, or more drives away. The soundtrack to his story just got a whole lot more chaotic, especially when Sam Winchester is in his life.

Summary: Since the High Lord and his children took over Earth a century ago, winning the Cage has been the fast lane to fame and fortune for the champion. Defeat is not as pleasant: the loser is sold to the highest bidder. Of course Dean had to try. And to be honest, Dean thought that he would be the one on the podium after the last fight. Instead he is kneeling in the dirt, battered and bruised, the Lords and Ladies of North America fighting to buy him.

Summary: Gabriel Tricksler is a successful crime author with everything going for him. He's got a great publisher behind him, several best-sellers under his belt and now Hollywood wants to make his books into a blockbuster. Life couldn't get much better. Well, he could find some motivation to write. Luckily for him, or maybe not as it turns out, a body is discovered at one of his charity events, and the investigating officer is none other than Sam Wesson, one of the city's best homicide investigators and perfect inspiration. He's not so keen on working side-by-side with Gabriel Tricksler, but his Chief makes sure he has no choice in the matter. Of course, when Gabriel manages to literally stumble over a second corpse, Sam starts to suspect that Gabriel is more involved than he's letting on.

Summary: Humans talk of the Fall as if it were one finite event, one story alone. But Lucifer was not the only archangel to fall. Each of them fell, one by one, in their own way. Some of them fell many times. And now the sky is full of falling stars, falling angels. The last archangel watches them fall, and has to make a choice between continuing as he is and learning - teaching all of them - to write a new own story, to set against Metatron’s.
“Cute,” Gabriel rapped out in Enochian. “You’ve got demons. Battle stations, guys.”
He took a moment to be shocked at how easily the general’s voice came back to him - at how lethargic uncomprehending Malon was on his feet and standing to attention in a moment, and Castiel’s sleepiness vanished like it had never been there - then he was tossing the knife to Ezekiel, drawing his own sword out of nowhere and holding it out hilt-first to Castiel.

Title: Angelic mating rituals are a pain in the ass
Author - aria lerendeair. Artist - gabrieltrickster.
Summary: Ever since angels were cut off from heaven, they have lived on earth. They mate with humans now, forming Alpha/Beta pairs or Alpha/Beta/Omega triads, feeding off the energy of the souls their humans carry to continue to survive. A soul bond is one that lasts forever and cannot be severed by earthly means. A single human can support a single angel in a soul bond. All triads are two humans and one angel. An angel has to find a mate (or mates) to feed off of before the power of their Grade runs out or they fade, and whither away to nothing. Gabriel is an archangel, an omega as well, and he is getting closer and closer to the danger of fading. When he meets Castiel and Sam Winchester, he knows that they can't be together, but that doesn't stop him from wanting. A split second decision ends up binding his fate to theirs, and Gabriel prays for the first time in eons that he might find his happy ending.

But when Sam Winchester offers up his soul instead, Gabe writes them up a deal. Sam becomes his assistant for the next two weeks, Gabe searching for glimpses of Sam's soul to sketch to completion and Sam fighting to keep it hidden around the rules they set in place. As their deal begins, both of them start to wonder if they're going to make it through these two weeks after all.
