Fic: In His Image (Dean/Castiel, Sam/Gabriel) (NC-17)
Title: In His Image
Author: whit_merule
Artist: xenoamorist
Beta: mistalagan
Pairings: Gabriel/Sam, Castiel/Dean
Genre: Season 5 AU from Hammer of the Gods onwards; historical fic (i.e., Gabriel timehops all over the place, just because he can). Written for the 2012 Gabriel Big Bang.
Rating: NC-17 (eventually)
Word count: 152 000 (completely unashamedly.)
Warnings/Spoilers: Sex, obviously. Similar levels of violence to the show (Croatoans and demons), though I tend to dwell on the emotional impact rather than physical descriptions. Use of historical characters and languages (there are mouse-over translations, and footnotes for context where necessary!). Spoilers for all of season 5, obviously. Also, technically, for Casanova's memoirs.
Summary: Kali can breathe life back into a corpse, but what exactly is Gabriel now? Gabriel flits around various centuries trying to work that out, Dean has another powered-down angel and a little brother to look out for, Castiel has forgotten how to trust, and someone keeps sending Sam annoying little notes on his laptop. Oh, and Bobby would like to remind you all that there’s an Apocalypse still going on. Covers season 5 from Gabriel’s death to the finale.
Link to fic: On livejournal, dreamwidth, and AO3. PDF and epub versions, with and without images, are also available.
