Summary: Sam tries to make the pairing tag read “Sam/Gabriel’s Library”. Castiel and Gabriel get jealous and stage an intervention. Aka, Sam keeps forgetting to go to bed, Castiel looks stern, and there is sleepy arguing and sex.
“Cas,” Sam definitely did not whine. “Timing, man. Coffee and breakfast.”
“Your ordinary breakfast hour is seven thirty in ( Read more... )

Castiel didn’t really do threesomes. Castiel did focus, and he did indefatigable curiosity, and he did worship.
*fans self* Hot hot hot.

I really liked the play of personalities here - Cas trying to contain Sam first with the stay up past his bedtime element, and then containing him by keeping his distance, and then the 'worst sub ever' moment. It's interesting to see Cas displaying the same theme in different ways, and to see Sam consistently fight against it. There's an appealing equality there (and, of course, Sam thinking about how Cas would be with Dean and then denying spending time fantasizsng about it is hilarious). I think you did a really good job with the threesome element, pointing out all of the awkwardness in the actual physicality of three people moving together, and then taking the time to explain how Cas and Gabriel make it work.

Cas does have trouble working out just how this whole 'consenting adults without anyone actually being in charge of anyone else' relationship thing works, I think. It would be easier with Dean (at least that aspect of it) because Dean would just do his own thing anyway if anyone tried to tell him his bedtime (and, well, demand his own space and time and car occasionally). For Cas... well, I care about you, and this is not good for you, and people who care about each other do say 'stop doing this thing that is hurting you' (you all do it to ME, after all), and Gabriel disapproves of you doing this to, so why should I not try to make you stop?

Although he was mostly joking with the 'embarrass Sam by sending other random angels to cart him off to bed' thing. For one thing, only very very few people have access to Gabriel's houses (and therefore library). Which Sam will remember when he's not being distracted by angel-kisses. But, yes. Still working out how to deal with the whole thing. Sex is much easier by comparison ( ... )

... is that actually David Tennant looking salacious?

*stares at it*

*keeps it*

... This is extra problematic because that looks like the set for Silence in the Library, so now I have Doctor Who library porn (with extra deadly shadows) in my head. HALP.

EEEE Tennant Hamlet? Time for pirateb- er - perfectly legitimate movie-acquiring techniques!

(I hear he and Catherine Tate did Beatrice and Benedict too, which is obviously a monument of national importance.)

And, no, I can't write Doctor Who at all, only Supernatural. And I find it very difficult, even reading fanfic, to think of the Doctor as a sexualised being. Hence the short-circuit of the brain staring at that gif. Pardon me, I must short-circuit some more...

User dehavilland referenced to your post from Edition 2,215 saying: [...] by (Sam/Gabriel, R) When Thou Sleepest, Let Them Keep Thee; and When Thou Awakest, Talk with Them [...]

First the incoherent squeeing: this Sam/angels sandwich is seriously HOT! You can not only write fluff and angst, no you also write amazing porn... Damn! :D

I don't know why, the fic centres around Sam/Cas, but I really liked Gabriel in this. He seems to be at ease. With Sam and Cas but more importantly with himself. In my opinion Gabriel normally hides a lot of anger and hurting under his trickster mask. And now my starting at part two of this verse backfires because considering the summary I guess you dealt with hurt!Gabriel in IHI. Maybe...? Or you just wanted a happy Gabriel for your fic. One way or the other I love Gabriel and how he treats Sam in this! So much love and trust and UNDERSTANDING between them.
Okay on to Cas and Sam... You remember what I said about my issues with power differences in relationships. I think this is what they're trying to work out here. And again I really like what you've done with it! I got the impression you are very aware of the topic and every one of your characters reacts differently. You ( ... )

Yep, Gabriel has 150 000 words of trying to work himself out in IHI, so he's definitely earned it by now. :) Although he still has his moments ( ... )
