Summary: Sam is a depressed teen who doesn't have anywhere he can really turn. His mother and brother both work, his father is overseas, and his friends have their own lives and he doesn't want to burden any of them. So, he starts looking for other options. What he finds is a summer camp that deals specifically with teens with depression and anxiety, and he decides to go. The counselor in charge of he and his bunkmates is Gabriel Milton, a happy-go-lucky, overly helpful and very friendly kid, and not someone Sam wants to associate with. Over the summer, things change, and Sam realizes Gabe isn't as happy as he makes himself out to be, and the two boys are caught up in a romance neither of them expected.

Summary: Gabriel works for a highly recognized, respectable and famous online news site. All his articles are fan-favorites for their quirk and comedy, allowing him to have free rein over his subject matter. Whether it be celebrity interviews, ‘politely’ harassing politicians or reviewing the latest movies. But one of his most recent articles managed to enrage the site’s editor. Mostly because he went behind her back, vigilante-style, to publish it… For revenge, she’s given him the assignment of covering the grand opening of the New York City Ballet Company’s Swan Lake. No one wants the job, and the worst part is Gabriel hates ballet. However, once he catches a glimpse of the leading male dancer he begins to come up with ideas of how to make his article and experience… entertaining. Little does he know, this dancer knows exactly how to entertain and keep Gabriel on the edge of his seat all by himself.

Summary: Newly graduated Sam Winchester has Restless Heart Syndrome and no match to the soulmate tattoo taking up space on his wrist, the only known cure. Not to mention his opportunity with a publishing company is slowly slipping into nothing, no inspiration in sight. He sets off to find somewhere to call home and winds up on the doorstep of a secluded lighthouse, seeking reprieve from the storm raging above, where a man with golden eyes spends his nights studying the stars. As he gets to know the man, Sam starts to think, just maybe, the storm isn't the only problem kind-hearted Gabriel will solve. Or the one with the writer who finds inspiration in the stars, the man who weaves the speckled sky each night, and the home they find in each other.

Approximate Word Count: 21,000
Summary: It’s another hallucination. It has to be. The short blond man in the room across from Sam’s can’t be Gabriel. Except he can see Lucifer, and Sam knows Lucifer is only in his head. Or: Sam’s locked up because of Halicifer. Gabriel’s in the same psych ward, only they’ve convinced him he’s not an archangel. Gabriel can see Lucifer but doesn't remember Sam.

Summary: Thirty percent of the world's population have soulmates. Sam's eighteen, he's never even dreamed of being part of that minority - hell he hasn't even thought about falling in love - but he's not exactly annoyed when his soulmate, Gabriel, comes into play; not when the sex is this good. But then of course his dad has to find out and ruin everything. Sabriel soulmate AU, You can feel whenever your soulmate gets injured or laid, and when they kick it, so do you.

Approximate Word Count: 20,000
Summary: For Gabriel, life seems pointless. Well, his life, anyway. He's stuck in a boring job with no idea what he wants to do with himself. He lives at home at 22- if an absent father and big brothers at war can be called a home. He wants out. Sam has no idea that Gabriel feels this way. For him, life is wonderful. He’s studying to be a lawyer and already working in the law. He's thinking about moving out. He's in love. But when Gabriel decides to do something about his misery, can Sam save him and can Gabriel turn his life around?

Summary: Sam knew when he left that church nothing would be the same. The Angels had fallen and the gates were still open. Still reeling from the effects of the trials Sam is just trying to get back in the game with his brother and Castiel to help but nothing seems to be working. Enter Gabriel. Ever since Elysian Fields he's been lying low, and when the doors to heaven are locked against him Gabriel, stranded on Earth with his Grace intact, seeks to help Sam and get some help himself. He's taken it on himself to help his newly-human siblings find their way in the world but something's gone wrong. Someone or something is killing off the Fallen...and Gabriel feels like the only one who can stop it. This is a re-imagining of what might've happened after the finale of Season 8. Besides missing Gabriel fiercely there were a lot of ways the writers could've gone with this show and I think this would've been a neat way to go.

Summary: When Sam Winchester entered his last semester at Clark State Community College, he had no clue what was in store. Taking a class with a professor he couldn’t stand, Sam was horrified to discover that the man was, in fact, his soulmate. Hijinks and heartbreak ensue as the two men try to stumble their way through mutual dislike into that thing they call love.

Warnings: None
Approximate Word Count: 23,000
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.

Approximate Word Count: 21,000
Summary: The city of Macto was large, winding, and mysterious. Each corner held a tale, each ally a legend, and each citizen was an enigma. With all the riddles and secrets that bubbled within the cities soul, villains erupted. With those villains, came heroes. Villains like Trickster, a man who carried a dark past of being experimented on endlessly whose goal was really only to teach a few people a lesson or two. Heroes like Visum, a man whose powers are endless, but he just can’t figure out how to control. He has so little control that he practically looses himself every time he uses his powers. But, what if those heroes have a dark side, to them as well? And the villains, a light side? Powers can become unstable, heroes can switch sides. Anything could truly happen, and anything did.

Summary: This is a story about parallel worlds. An infinite number of them. Some of them are so alike that there’s almost no way to tell one from the other. Almost. Others have practically nothing in common, to such an extent that if you saw them, you would have never believed that they were, at some point in the past, not two separate worlds, but one. This is a story about a world that lost its Sam Winchester. This loss seemed, for all intents and purposes, to be final. Even his own brother, the one that took care of him and protected him ever since he was a little baby, and sacrificed himself for him a number of times, forgot that Sam Winchester had ever existed.
This is a story about a Gabriel who lost his Sam Winchester, and his world altogether. If you asked him, he would probably say that Sam Winchester was his world. And he failed to save him. There was absolutely nothing he could do, so he ran away from his world, and watched it burn impossibly bright for the briefest moment before it ceased to exist, forever. This is a story about the Gabriel who lost his Sam Winchester, and found a Sam Winchester, shredded into billions of pieces, scattered across the Multiverse. It wasn’t his Sam Winchester, but still, he couldn’t just watch a Sam Winchester fade into nothing. So he picked up a piece of him, smaller than stardust, and then another, and another. And he started putting this Sam Winchester back together. This is a story of how they met. And everything that happened next.

All is going well until one day an uninvited and totally unexpected archangel - one who should still be dead - turns up in their kitchen and asks to join in the fun. Despite what he might claim, Sam suspects that all is not well with the suddenly resurrected archangel Gabriel. Unfortunately however, monsters don't have time to 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.

Summary: Years after his previous relationship's capricious end, Sam Winchester has finally decided to date again. The only problem is, after being out of the scene for so long, he's not sure where to begin. When a new patient rolls into his Physical Therapy office, however, Sam realizes that he may not have to look very far at all. ~ After a devastating accident lands Gabriel Novak in the hospital, he does his best to look on the positive side of things. It definitely doesn't hurt that his new therapist is like sex on legs. (Well, at least a leg.) Sometimes, he learns, even bad situations can have good outcomes.

Summary: Gabriel Novak, a hyperactive golden haired drama student with a penchant for sugar and pranking people. Sam Winchester, a law student with a love of strawberries and good reading material. Mr Fizzles, a cat who unwillingly drew two people together. After meeting Sam by pure fluke, Gabriel keeps coming back to him, just to hang out on a regular basis, bringing him tea even when Sam doesn't ask for it and just generally supplying him with a distraction from daily stresses. Until one day Gabriel gets one of the worst phone calls of his life, and the only person he thinks of going to is Sam. Not for sympathy, not to talk it out, but to simply be around. From there comes Christmas at Sam’s with his annoying older brother, hijinks that involve too much glitter, an astonishing amount of jelly beans, a bucket full of jelly and a rather suspicious Christmas tree, and the simple yet poignant act of falling irrevocably in love.

Mr Fizzles, a cat who unwillingly drew two people together. After meeting Sam by pure fluke, Gabriel keeps coming back to him, just to hang out on a regular basis, bringing him tea even when Sam doesn't ask for it and just generally supplying him with a distraction from daily stresses. Until one day Gabriel gets one of the worst phone calls of his life, and the only person he thinks of going to is Sam. Not for sympathy, not to talk it out, but to simply be around. From there comes Christmas at Sam’s with his annoying older brother, hijinks that involve too much glitter, an astonishing amount of jelly beans, a bucket full of jelly and a rather suspicious Christmas tree, and the simple yet poignant act of falling irrevocably in love.
