I feel the need to come here and point out how AWESOME this is again. I mean, you made me ship Anna/Gabriel, I DID NOT SHIP THAT BEFORE I READ THIS and it works SO WELL. I love their relationship.

And I love the prose. It's beautiful and gorgeous and poetic. I would quote lines, but that'll be like half of them and I already raved to you while I was betaing ;)

I'm adding this to my memories!

Wow bbgirl this is insane. I love it to tiny tiny pieces. Angels rock and you make them not douchy and you make me like Gabe as opposed to the trickster who I hate with glee. Its a beautiful piece of writing &hearts

breathtaking, bb. I really wish I had more words for you but I'm still kind of reeling from how lovely this is.

& You and I, he says, you and I are the only ones who left for the joy of it. I couldn't let them have you.

...reminds me why you are wholly responsible for making me adore Anna/Gabe so fiercely <3

This is really beautiful. It casts Gabriel in quite a different light, but paints such a lovely relationship between he and Anna. It's hard not to love angel backstory <3 The line that states that they both fell for the joy of it is especially poignant and effective. This is getting bookmarked!

thank you so much! this gabe is surely different from canon, but i think he'd behave a lot different if he loved someone/wanted to help them. he's not gonna convince anyone of their angelicness by being his normal douchey self, is he?
angel backstory is so much awesome, i don't even. i could read it all day.
<3 thank you so much for reading + i'm glad you liked the story!

Oh, this is so fantastic! I love, love, love the set-up, and the relationship between Anna and Gabriel is awesome. I've been intrigued by the idea of Anna and Gabriel since we discovered his true identity, and this was such a wonderful take on the two of them.

Also, Anna is glorious and I especially loved the moment of her with her mother - so simple and perfect. Thank you!

oh, i'm so glad you liked it, esp. the setup, bc the other fic you got was so amazing and i was like, wow, i am not cool enough to write this prompt.

the two of them are just fascinating, and their dynamic absolutely kills me (though i did write myself into a corner, in that i couldn't have snarky-dangerous gabe as much as i wanted to, because of anna being so vulnerable); i really really hope we someday see them interacting in canon.

thank you for the prompt; it was amazing and interesting and i'm surprisingly fond of where i ended up. <3
