Author: agardenafter

Pairing: Dean/Gabriel
Rating: NC17
Word count: ~ 15k
Warnings/Spoilers: Season 5 AU, angst, generalized violence, spoilers through season five to be safe, bittersweet ending
Summary: Season Five AU The war in heaven is over. Gabriel, heartsick and bitter in the wake of so much death, chooses to leave, but family never really lets you go. Dragged back into Heaven, he is punished for his desertion; Michael binds his grace, strips him of his power, rank, and even his name. Now Abaddon, Gabriel is cast into the pit to guard Lucifer’s cage until the Apocalypse comes and he has his chance to regain all that was taken from him. And the price? The Righteous Man, raised from Hell and turned into the perfect soldier to be used in Heaven’s war. It should be simple. Instead he gets Dean.
Now, having lost everything he’s had and everything he’s gained, Gabriel is left with a choice between love and forgiveness with no guarantee of either.

Link to fic: Part One, Part Two
Author’s Notes: I have to thank tinypinkmouse, who I got to know during this challenge, for giving this a first read and letting me toss ideas and complaints off her tirelessly. I’m so glad to have gotten work with her.
My wonderful artist, pandionpandeus, had only a couple weeks to do the art for m story and she completely blew me away with every piece she did. I think everyone should go shower her with praise because she was just amazing.
I also have to thank my very dedicated best friend, beta, alpha and all around hand-holder, Ariel. As always, she kept me calm and provided so much assistance and support during the writing of this story that I can’t imagine it existing without her.
And finally, so many thanks to the mods of gabriel-bigbang. This is the first time I’ve been able to write fic for a big bang and it was a wonderful experience all around.
