Summary: Gabriel never believed he would find his mate. It had been... millennia, and his omega didn’t appear. He cut himself off from the Heavenly Host.

June 30: Things that shine
Author - casandsip. Artist - kdheart.
Summary: When Balthazar makes a drunken bet that Gabriel can't successfully get a job as a White House tour guide, Gabriel never actually expects to win.He definitely doesn't expect to run into President Sam Winchester in a back corridor of the White House, and to slowly start falling in love with him. After all, Gabriel failed out of acting school and can barely make himself pancakes without setting the kitchen on fire - he definitely isn't the kind of guy who should be dating the President. (It's just possible that Sam disagrees with that.)
Pairings: Gabriel/Sam
Warning / tags: Explicit sex
Length so far: 19k
Key visual elements: Gabriel and Sam wearing a lot of suits, an entire first date outing in one tiny apartment, Washington DC, secret cuddling in corridors, fluff, nervous Sam, midnight serenades
July 1: 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.
Pairings: Castiel/Sam, Gabriel/Castiel/Sam
Warning / tags: A/B/O Dynamics (minimal outside of smut scenes), Mentions of Alpha Dominance, Angsting, Miscommunication
Length so far: 17k
Key visual elements: Wings! Gabriel has six golden wings and Castiel has two black ones, and other angels also have wings out, at all times, as it is a part of their 'falling' from heaven. Outside of that, normal dynamics inside an office building, or Gabriel's apartment.
July 2: None.
July 3: Surviving the apocalypse, for dummies
Author - scrollingkingfisher. Artist - kuwlshadow.
Summary: Before Castiel went to Hell, before angels and demons and the apocalypse, he and Gabriel met the Trickster. Some things change, but some things stay the same. This is a story about a pair of brothers, and how they saved the world. (Basically, reverse-verse.)
Pairings: Gabriel/Sam, Dean/Cas
Warning / tags: Graphic violence, torture, character death but it's temporary. All that happy stuff.
Length so far: 80k
Key visual elements: It's a reverse verse, so picture any dramatic moments from seasons 2-5 and it's likely that they'll be in there, particularly any of the episodes that originally had Gabriel in. Also notably there's a bit with trueform angels sandwiched in at the end of Lucifer Rising, the back end of Hammer of the Gods has some serious alterations, and (spoilers!) they get a happy ending.
July 4: None.
July 5: None.
July 6: State of disgrace
Author - writeonclara. Artist - captain d_leet.
Summary: Injured detective Sam Winchester is forced on long term disability after taking a bullet to the hip. Living in a loft is obviously out, but Sam's not so sure his new apartment is much better. The space is nice, but he could do without the prank-playing dead guy for a roommate.
Pairings: Sam/Gabriel, Dean/Castiel
Warning / tags: Canon-typical violence
Length so far: 34k
Key visual elements: Dead archangel Gabriel facing ex-cop Sam in battle over prime apartment territory: who will get the couch today? Modern prankster-ghost story set in Northern California: floating spice bottles, lewd scrabble games, chains strewn across kitchens and around a battered Gabriel, and a joyous explosion of light and laughter when an angel gets his wings back.
July 7: But what God gives
Author - kibbers. Artist - tony the girl.
Summary: After Metatron takes over heaven and starts to send angels, wingless, falling to Earth, Gabriel takes over Death's job and thinks himself lucky to have found a place to protect his wings. Centuries later, after Chuck retakes the reigns, Gabe finds himself still there, still taking souls and dealing death from his palms. Ben is just another name on his list for the day. 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.
Pairings: Sam/Gabriel
Warning / tags: Major Character Death, Many Deaths of Varying Reason (Drowning, Old Age, Fire, Etc.), Minor Mentions of Abuse (Secondary Character), Sexual Content
Length so far: 38k
Key visual elements: Varying colors/shapes of souls, Gabe's wings, Sam's soul, darker themes, Gabriel flying, sort of a 'Beauty and the Beast' vibe
July 8: In another time
Author - jcapasso916. Artist - kdheart.
Summary: After Gabriel finds out about Sam falling in the cage he can't handle it. Once Raphael is gone he gathers as much power as he can as the last archangel, and heads back in time to rewrite history and give Sam the life he should have had from the beginning.
Pairings: Implied past unrequited Gabriel/Sam
Warning / tags: None
Length so far: 15500
Key visual elements: Gabriel rocking baby Sam. Gabriel carrying young Sam and Dean. Gabriel with young Sam, Dean, and Mary, Gabriel guarding Mary and Sam's crib from Azazel. Gabriel being tortured by Raphael.
Summary: Secret Garden AU. When sickly, spoiled little Gabriel Milton moves to Yorkshire from India, everybody thought he was the most unpleasant child they had ever seen. It was true, too. But Misselthwaite Manor has its mysteries - a common moor-boy who knows everything there is to know about growing things and his little brother who can talk to animals, a hundred rooms all closed up, the sound of a child crying in the night - and not the least of them, the secrets in the garden.
Pairings: They're all kids, so, none; but all the relationships between the four boys receive attention.
Warning / tags: Book fusion; 'historical' au; implied child neglect; trans child character (and adults not responding well to that); mute character; period-accurate colonialist attitudes to India.
Length so far: 60k
Key visual elements: Brooding gothic manors and adoration of the Yorkshire spring and English gardens, especially roses; period clothing; Dean and Sam interacting with various animals (esp. robin redbreast, fox, squirrels, crow); contrast between dark musty rich old rooms and the bright sunny mysterious growing gardens outside; basically google 'secret garden illustrations' and pick your poison!
