Warnings/Spoilers: Violence, bullying, off-screen character death (John Winchester)
Summary: Gabriel has had enough of Heaven and its rules and regulations. He Falls to get away from it all. Only, something goes wrong during his Fall.
Instead of ending up as a human, Gabriel finds himself trapped in the body of a dog - one of the four faces of his true form. To make matters worse he's hit by a car and taken to the local pound.
He manages to get himself adopted by Sam and Dean Winchester, much to the disapproval of his brother, Castiel, an angel who Fell from Heaven to be with Dean. Sam and Dean are struggling to recover from the death of their father a few months earlier. Getting a dog is supposed to be the first step on the road to healing, but Gabriel only causes trouble.
Despite himself, Gabriel begins to care about Sam and Dean, and about their fractured family, but his attempts to help nearly get Sam taken into care.

['Gabriel and Sandy - the Story of an Angel and his Dog': 16k, NC-17, Gabriel/Kali, lilithrain & ninurta.]
Title: Gabriel & Sandy. The Story of an angel and his dog.
Author: lilithrain

Summary: Mel Brooks once said, "Tradgedy is when I cut my finger. Comedy is when you fall into an open sewer and die." 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.

['Kitchen Heaven': 31k, NC-17, Gabriel/Sam & Castiel/Dean, nileflood & perilousrain.]
Title: Kitchen Heaven
Author: nileflood
Artist: perilousrain
Pairing (if any): Gabriel/Sam, Dean/Castiel, one sided Balthazar/Castiel
Rating: NC-17
Word count: 30,557
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.

['Frate, non far': 41k, NC-17, Castiel/Dean/Gabriel, whit-merule & cherishedsaulie.]
Title: Frate, non far: ché tu se' ombra, e ombra vedi. (Brother, do not so: for you are a shadow, and a shadow am I.)
Author: whit-merule
Artist: cherishedsaulie
Pairing (if any): Emotionally, Castiel/Dean/Gabriel. Although the only actual sex is Dean/Gabriel, all the relationships draw on elements of romance and the erotic in places.
Genre/Tropes: Purgatory!fic; threesome; amnesia; incorporeal!Gabriel (sometimes); dom/sub themes.
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.
