Gabriel/Trickster

[ryael.livejournal.com]

 I've been having a major craving for Gabriel-fic lately. What I'm really looking for are fics that have awesome characterization; so which are your favorites? (Having Castiel present is an added bonus!)

I'd really prefer that Gabriel wasn't paired with anyone, or if he is, that it is real light. Any rating is fine. Most any other pairings are fine.

Thanks everyone!

I can only recommend that you read everything that bagheera_101 has written.
From your description I gather that you'd like what she does very much.

Here (http://bagheera-101.livejournal.com/tag/character%3Agabriel)'s a link to her Gabe-tagged stuff.

Try searching Delicious. There aren't a lot of long fics with Gabriel as a major character instead of a plot device, but there are some very nice one-shots.

This has a lot of one-shots in a single 'verse, and it's funny, even if it's not quite what you're looking for.

If you like heavy-duty Norse mythology, check out Gatharr Edda, part of a series of two brief fics, here:

As a character study, I personally recommend Not The Fall That Kills, in which Gabriel meets his vessel:

This crack!fic casts the angels as a Heavenly family:

And this AU casts them as an Earthly family:

Here, Gabriel falls out of Heaven and falls in with the pagans:

In this three-part fic, Gabriel gets grounded and is forced to ride along on Sam and Dean's eternal road trip:

God plays dice with the universe and Kali DMs (okay, hardly any Gabriel, but it's really funny):

If I might self-rec, I have an AU retelling of Mystery Spot from Gabriel's POV here:

I do have one long fic, but it's WIP. It's mostly finished, though.
This long, ongoing AU has awesome plotty crack. Dean puts on Death's ring, and unlike in the show, it gives him sinister wings with giant spikes and cool powers. Of course Gabriel gets involved. It's an epic and engaging Team Free Will fic.

There's the Gabriel community- http://community.livejournal.com/spn_gabriel/ and I really liked Key to Grace- http://wolfling.livejournal.com/296802.html which is just Gabriel and Castiel on an adventure. We're going on an adventure, Charlie!
