General search: Gabriel/Sam or Gabriel/Dean or Sam/Castiel AUs

[synn.livejournal.com]

Hi all,

I'm hoping for some general recs for Gabriel/Sam, Gabriel/Dean or Sam/Castiel stories where they are:
 - AU, Not established relationship, not PWP.
- The given pairing above is the *main* pairing of the story. There are a lot of great gabriel/sam on AO3 (and i've read a lot of them), but they always seem to be primarily dean/cas with a side of sam/gabriel, and as much as I love destiel, i'm looking for a different focus at the moment.

Happy ending is a must for me, but i'm really okay with any amount of angst etc before that, all kinks and genres.
Many thanks in advance!

Castiel/Sam

[casey679.livejournal.com]

* Rings of Enchantment (http://archiveofourown.org/works/2778911): Sam Winchester just wanted his life to be as straightforward and normal as a witch's could be. After all, it was hard enough getting into university as a broke non-human Alpha without getting involved in a murder case. Unfortunately, when the supernatural police come to arrest him for murder, he's left with little choice but to prove his innocence. At least it doesn't hurt that Detective Castiel is a looker. (Does contain ABO Dynamics)

* Too Much and Not Enough 'Verse (http://archiveofourown.org/series/202616): Psych student Cas advertises a service offering cuddles and touch therapy for money as an experiment. Sam, lonely and sad after his last relationship combusted, gives in when his friend signs him up. To his surprise, Sam finds the sessions with his punked-out tattooed "cuddler" to be more than therapeutic, and what starts out as a one-time encounter turns into true love between someone who has always felt like he is too much for anyone to handle and someone who is afraid he can never be enough. Meanwhile, Dean struggles with his own relationship insecurities and the never-ending task of being the best big brother ever. (OMG I love this series; the last story in the series is still in progress and updated regularly. The rest can totally stand alone although why would you. Side pairings of Dean/Pamela and Dean/Lisa.)

* Expose My Heart (http://archiveofourown.org/works/2792393): Sam doesn’t need a bodyguard. He doesn’t. No matter what Genevieve says. So he maybe kinda sorta got kidnapped. That was his own fault. He’d be careful now. At least, that’s what he thought until he got a good look at said bodyguard. Dammit, could you say cliche...

* The Art of Tying Bonds with Scissors (http://archiveofourown.org/works/1059499): When Sam unexpectedly bonds with Lucifer, a high-ranking traditionalist alpha, Sam's beliefs about free will are put to the test. But bond or no bond: there is no way Sam will let biology get the better of him. When Castiel, Lucifer's younger brother, makes an offer that Sam literally cannot resist, Sam knows it's his chance to be free of Lucifer for good. Still, living with one mate while being unhappily tied to another is like tying bonds with scissors: it's doable, but it certainly isn't easy. (Bonus: Side Dean/Gabriel.) (Warning: ABO Dynamics)

* Polarity (http://archiveofourown.org/works/2795975): Sam’s dreams of going to college and living a normal life are coming true and things couldn’t be more perfect, until he’s stuck with a roommate who hates his guts and does everything in his power to get rid of him. Castiel would like nothing better than to make friends and be normal. Only he’s not. He’s got these freaky wings that have matured to the point he can no longer saw them off, he’s got to bind them all day and wear a stupid trench coat, and now, he’s been landed with a roommate and is forced to hide his deformity twenty four hours a day. Something has to give and it's not going to be him.
