Summary: Sam generally hated these things. He understood the need for conferences and furthering one’s education, but this year was worse than usual. This year he wasn’t feeling it. At all.Three days spent away from the office and all he could think about was the metric shit ton of work waiting for him when he returned. At least the conference was in Vegas, so that was a plus.
He took one last glance in the mirror before he left the room, leather portfolio in hand. He strode down the long corridor to the elevator somewhat distractedly, paying more attention to the day’s agenda in his hand than the actual hallway. He almost bumped into the Klingon heading in the other direction.

And he started putting this Sam Winchester back together.

Pairing(s): Gabriel / Sam Winchester

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.
A mid-season 8 canon divergence fic wherein Gabriel returns, and Sam Winchester must deal with the fall out for both of them.

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.
Well, he was.

Summary: “Contrary to what his best friend Charlie thinks, Sam is perfectly fine. He’s definitely not still messed up from his previous relationship and it’s definitely not bleeding into his everyday life. In fact, his everyday life is going great. He’s in law school, he has a decent job and a shared apartment with cool people. He’s even met a cute police investigator called Gabriel who, against all odds, seems interested in him.
Of course, he wouldn’t be a Winchester if something didn’t come along and f**k it all up. And he wouldn’t be Sam Winchester if that something wasn’t as absurd and horrifying as a serial killer, a killer that seems to be connected to him…”

Word Count: 32k
Warnings: Explicit Sexual Content
Summary: There was a strong possibility getting blackout drunk on a Tuesday night wasn’t the brightest idea Gabriel had come up with…but it was the cans of spray paint and the bulk-sized container of chocolate sauce that did him in. Oh, and the cops who’d been called. Plus the little charge of “resisting arrest,” tacked onto his “drunk and disorderly.”
He could deal with all of that, really. What he couldn’t deal with was facing his “court appointed attorney,” who was none other than Sam Winchester.
Since it was this asshat who turned their three years of happy domestic bliss into a break up - in three months, flat.
Gabriel had done a damn good job of making himself unreachable, and it was just his luck he was now cornered with a pleading, begging pair of puppy-eyes “wanting to set things right.”
But there was no way it would be that easy. This was downright entrapment, as far as Gabriel was concerned. Not to mention an excellent fucking reason to never drink again.

Summary: It all started because of a stupid lead Sam checked without backup. That was how he found himself caged, used and shrouded by darkness inside an omega trafficking ring. The torture continued for months, until Dean finally unearthed the operation and saved them. While Sam sought justice in court for all the victims, he unwittingly became a media sensation.
Yet, all Sam wants is to fade into the background. Being buried alive puts life in perspective. His dream of traveling seems impossible, so he gets creative. After all, he’s got the cash from a massive settlement.
Sam realizes he doesn’t have to ‘fly’ under the radar, maybe he could ‘ship off—raise anchor?’
Dean’s terrified of Sam disappearing again. He and his mate, Cas, decide to plant a Novak brother in Sam’s path secretly: as a hired bodyguard.
It works, Sam and Gabriel set sail, Gabriel acting as a guide, captain and (covert) watchman…but complications arise. Complications, in the way that Sam learns to trust again and begins falling in love. Complications, in the way that all of Sam’s PTSD medications compromise his nose, because Gabriel is fucking positive: they’re true mates.
A normal around-the-world cruise would be too much to ask for, of course
