Where All My Journeys End
Rating: Mature (violence, language, implied sex)
Warnings: Lots of H/C (heavier on the angst than the comfort); emotional and physical torture; canonical character deaths (temporary)
Pairings: Gabriel/Sam (Implied Bobby/Crowley, subtexty Castiel/Dean)
Timeline: Starts ~mid-season 5 (includes direct dialogue snippets from 5x16, 5x17, 5x18, and 5x19) Goes AU after the events in Stull cemetery
Word Count: 42,000+
Summary: A tale in three acts beginning in canon season five and continuing after with reinterpretation. Act 1: Team Free Will, with a recently added team member, struggle to maintain faith in their cause and fight to stop the Apocalypse. Act 2: Interlude, in which the dead don't stay dead, a demon sticks around, and Dean's drunken brainstorm pans out. Act 3: Sam has trouble adjusting after his time in Hell. Castiel returns to ask for help finding a militant group of angels just in time for an amnesiac Gabriel to show up to demand what the heck is going on.

Notes: My first SPN fic. And I initially thought that it would be difficult to accomplish even 5,000 words for the sabriel_mini! This monster of a fic came of it. It's been a real adventure and its success is 80+% due to qbiggerthanlove who was there every step of the way. (For a month, literally around every day for chatting through several hurdles!) So this story is dedicated to Q since it's not her birthday or holiday times yet so I can't quite justify getting her a Sammy plushie. ;)
This was written in July & August while I was still getting to see S5 for the first time. I didn't get a chance to even start S6 until September when I began my first rewrites! This of course had an impact on how I saw things (I prefer S5 and "my" Crowley to S6's), but even knowing what I did about S6 while writing, I preferred a different direction. I still maintain a strong feeling of S1-5 holding as canon for myself while afterwards the season stories kind of depart, like an "extended universe." (Just thought you'd like to know.)
Huge thanks to wolfish_willow for volunteering to beta for me, that was a major help and solved several issues! Additional gratitude to my roomie, who came to my rescue when I struggled with how to write the remaining couple of scenes that needed to be filled in and make the story complete. (Plus she's been my SPN-watching buddy, and I started to watch the show in large part because she had it available and recommended it.)
To my artist, I was so excited to see you request my fic! I'm greatly honored. Thanks also for some additional feedback for me to mull over as I revised.
Additionally... There is a sequel in the works.
