OMG, the more people write Sam/Gabriel or Gabriel apologia in general (both recent in the D/C BB) I think more about why this is not beautiful cake, and I come out of it liking Gabriel less. That last D/C BB fic was 50% Gabe is wonderful and you boys are mean for not realising, and 50% D/C. That's an odd breakdown for the D/C BB. Gabe gets his own BB coming up.
Hey, preaching to the choir. I thought our Lady of the Perpetual Sea Breeze was the real deal until the Divine Miss J walked right through that door and right into my ass—which is where my heart is…physiologically. I could show you an x-ray.

[NAFDA]. This is where we talk about the CW series Supernatural! Anything that's aired in the US on TV (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though — if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Maybe some of the authors have siblings that they'd like to watch die over and over again?

are you sure it was even 50% D/C, ita? I'm skimming (omg, they gave Cas' save with Pestilence to Gabriel, and Dean's dinner with Death to Sam!). Cas is "fledgling" and "pipsqueak" and there's been like one and half scenes where Dean and Cas are in the same room together, let alone in a scene at all individually.
The latest highschool AU was kinda awful and ridiculous.

I'll give it 50% D/C because they spend a lot of time pining for each other in separate rooms. But, yeah, they take Cas out of the action and give the fun stuff to Gabe, and we get Crowley (Crowley!) giving a heartfelt speech about how the boys just don't understand the magic that is Gabe. Jaysus.
I also hate the conceit that Cas is the littlest angel. Lesser angel than the archangels, sure. But when he showed up, he was in charge of Uriel. He's not the bottom of the hierarchy.

Trying to not look. Which is silly, since I've read the ep synopsis already.
Judging from the Space Supernatural page they have the vamp synopsis listed for 10/27, which implies they're behind, not ahead.

The high school AU was unremarkable. I'm pretty cheap. Any halfway decent realisation of that *moment* gets a little flipflop in my tummy. This one didn't manage it. It was kinda strained and idealistic, but I wouldn't call it ridiculous.

I just meant how a conversation would start "You can talk to me" and it's still stuck on "I'm just saying, really, talk to me". NO MORE TALKING!

Since they were sixteen, I'm guessing the author wanted to keep them talking to avoid the sexytimes.
