Gabriel Big Bang Art #2
Title: If You Turn Around You're Back At The Start @ DW or AO3
Author: ranua
Genre/Pairing: gen, angst, no real pairings but allusions to slash
Rating: PG (art), teen and up for language and imagery (story)
Disclaimer: Not even close to mine. No money, no malice.
Word count: 18,000ish
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?
Summary: Gabriel: from heaven to Winchesters. Or, you can choose new family but the old is still there.
NOTE: Done!
_______________
He wraps his grace tight around his being in hurt. 'I'm going to the garden. Joshua, at least, is rational.'
Instead of Joshua however, it's his Father Gabriel finds in the garden. It's been so long since he's been in his Father's presence he throws himself at his Father's feet in relief.
God welcomes him into his light and it's a balm to Gabriel's troubled grace.
_______________
Justice is ingrained in his being and he can't help but help out. He stays out of the adults business, but children fascinate him.
He lends a bit of help here and there, rescues a favorite doll from being left behind, a nudge away from thin ice, a little comeuppance mischief where needed taking down a bully or knocking down a know-it-all a peg or two and the children start calling him Loptr, the air. 'Watch out Loptr will get you. Loptr sees everything you do!'
He likes it, likes being known and named. They start to leave little offerings to him, sweets and trinkets. He finds it adorable. He stashes the trinkets in the grove he woke in and gives the sweets a try.
_______________
Through Anasi he meets Eshu, Coyote and Raven, he feels the same sense brotherhood with the other tricksters as well. The five of them end up fast friends and spend a great deal of time together in the pockets out of time, playing cards or stones. They make trips to every eatery any of them can think of to sample every food under the sun, leaving a trail of confusion and justice behind them.
With a sense of great pleasure and contentment he realizes he's made yet another family around himself. First it was the Gods of the Norse who took him in and made him welcome, unknowingly helping him to find his way in his new life. Now he has the tricksters of the world, providing the brotherhood and kinship he'd thought he'd lost forever with his first family.
I wonder if I should be suprised this piece is the one the program crashed on.
