He's an angel in his own private witness protection program. How that is different from fallen, I don't know.
Marco: Do we look reasonable to you? Mal: Well. Looks can be deceiving. Jayne: Not as deceiving as a low down dirty... deceiver.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
it seriously depends on the amount of water you have in comparison to the fire
They did have a lot more water than fire in this scenario.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I mean, the trickster acted in ways that I would consider "evil" - and yet he is supposed to be an angel?
Zechariah seems pretty evil to me. And he's an angel. ::shrugs::

And it filmed gorgeously. I will seriously lower my standards for the pretty.

Often, when Jilli's complaining about occult stuff, as I roll my eyes with love, I tell her, "Yeah, but doing it THAT way would have been a crappy shot!"

I agree with Cass, bad guys don't have the market cornered on being dicks.
The first thing we saw the Trickster doing was killing the adulterous professor: punishing him for his crimes, albeit in a really funny way (for values of funny that probably only apply to omnipotent beings). One can assume that, while Gabriel probably wasn't doing that a lot because he was trying to stay under the radar, he couldn't in good angel-y conscience let that guy continue doing what he was doing when he was right in front of him.
Makes a kind of sense to me.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
I read something on LiveJournal that was suggesting that in Mystery Spot Gabriel/the Trickster was still thinking it was possible to break their dependence on each other and was trying to force that in order to prevent...well, all of this. Whereas now he's concluded that it can't be done and is just trying to force the end as he said. (Was reading on my bb so I couldn't mark the post or I'd link.)
It's been long enough since I watched MS so I'm not sure how well it holds up, but it might be an explanation for the divergence between the Trickers then and now.

Dude, you don't want to know what percentage of my Celtic Mythology classmates couldn't say it correctly.
Though pronouncing things isn't the same as researching them.
Signed, pronounces everything wrong.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Zechariah seems pretty evil to me. And he's an angel. ::shrugs::
True enough. But he wasn't trying to fly under the radar either. It just seems really problematic that all of these angels have lost their way like this. Cass can't be the only decent angel left on earth, can he?
