Fandom: Supernatural
Pairings: Dean/Castiel and Sam/Gabriel
Genre: General
Length: Medium (Words: 70,452)
Author's Summary:
Family reunions are a time of fun and good eating, or so Dean thinks. He plans on making this year's reunion the best one yet, and he even got Sam to stop bitching long enough to drive back home and help. Sure, Cas is acting a little weird—donning the old trench coat like a lame ass caped crusader—but there's nothing wrong between the two of them. Ever. So don't even start.
Sam, on the other hand, isn't feeling quite so content. He's dealing with a concussion or an out of body experience or something, because everything around him feels just wrong, from the tie around his neck to the shocking presence of Jess in his life. His confusion is only heightened by increasingly cryptic texts from a contact he's saved as 'Loki'--a contact that he doesn't remember making. Loki seems to hold all the answers, including the answer to one disturbing question Sam can't quite let go of--why does he think most of their family and friends should be long dead and buried?
Dean's belligerently happy. Sam's genuinely confused. But to everyone else, life is just perfect.
Maybe a little too perfect.
Review:
Basically, this is a story where things with Godstiel go much worse than in canon, but believably so, I think. The slow reveal for the first part is really well written and Gabriel's methods of dealing with things in the second part are clever and in-character. Because of that, this isn't a story like a hundred other stories in the fandom. There's not a lot of romance here and, in keeping with canon, resolutions to each of the plots and subplots have that is-it-or-isn't-it all good now quality. As much as I love sweet shippiness and happy endings, this is really great.
