An Almost Love

Pairings: Gabriel/Sam/Rowena, Background Dean/Cas Rating: General Word Count: 1960/? Warnings: Canon Typical Violence, Implications of perceived infidelity  Chapter 1 on Ao3

This is my Second Lot for @ficfacers 2019 Auction! @casgirlsam requested a Gabriel Samwitch fic in which Sam gets love and happiness and all the good things that he deserves. He’ll get them. I promise. xxx

They hadn’t talked the entire time. Sam was angry — unreasonably so if you asked Gabriel, reasonably so if you asked Sam — and had chosen to round up the members of Bobby’s camp. It kept him far away from the archangel, while Gabriel kept an eye on Jack and Lucifer, making sure that his dick of an older brother didn’t corrupt the Nephilim. It wasn’t until the trek back to the portal that Gabriel attempted to try and approach the younger Winchester again.

“Sam?” Gabriel walked up and alongside the tall hunter, looking up at him with concern. “Can we talk?”

“Kinda busy, Gabriel.”

“Ah, yes, walking through the woods while looking for the portal back to our universe is something that can’t be done during a conversation.”

Sam stopped and pushed Gabriel to the side, out of the way of the caravan of people. “You know what? I don’t have time for this. We have a few dozen people that we need to protect and get out of here. They’re wary, cause we’re traveling with not only an angel that looks like the one they’ve seen torture their friends and family but two previously presumed dead archangels - one of which is Lucifer - and a Nephilim. We have a beacon on our heads with the amount of grace you four are putting off, and you know Michael has to be tracking us.” Sam ran his fingers through his hair and watched as a few people trekked past them. “Make sure we get home safe, and then we can talk.”

“You act like I wasn’t already planning on protecting you.”

“Us, Gabriel. Protect Us.” Sam turned and used the advantage of extra leg length to put distance between himself and the archangel.

Gabriel huffed and got back in line with the caravan, slipping into step with Mary. She shot him a sympathetic look and patted his shoulder. “He’s like his father. Let him calm down, and you should be able to talk to him. He does listen to reason if you give him a chance to cool off.”

“No offense Mary, but I remember John being a dick.”

Mary smiled and shrugged as the pair kept walking. “I’m not sure what happened before you all came here, but from what I’ve learned about Sam, he is also kind and forgiving.”

“I only hope he forgives me for my perceived crimes.” Gabriel shook his head. “Sam is a good, kind person. I didn’t intend to hurt him, and neither did Rowena. We don’t know what he was thinking or what he wants.”

“Maybe he doesn’t know.” A look of concern crossed Mary’s face as the group started to stall, forming a small crowd. “Are we here?”

Gabriel looked around at their surroundings. “I think we might be. I do feel familiar magic in the air.” He gestured for Mary to walk ahead of him. “After you, I’m sure that the boys want you to go through first.”

The pair walked to the head of the crowd. Sam and Dean were discussing how the group would go through the portal. It had been decided that Ketch was going to head through first to protect Rowena, then Mary, Bobby, and Jack would follow. Cas would round out the first five through, so he could heal and boost Rowena’s reserves. The brothers also decided that they would stay behind with Lucifer and Gabriel to make sure everyone got through safely. Once Sam and Dean were back in their world, Rowena could close the portal.

“Seems easy enough.” The alternate universe Bobby acknowledged. “How bad are we gonna fuck it up?”

“Hopefully not at all, old man.” Dean sassed. “Go get your people lined up.” He turned to Ketch. “Go ahead on through, pass the info to Rowena.”

Ketch nodded and stepped through, disappearing with a small flash to the other side. 

Sam walked away, resuming the distance between him and Gabriel while bringing children to the front of the line. Dean started guiding people through, beginning with Mary, then Bobby, then Jack. Dean clasped arms with Cas, the pair sharing a look that didn’t escape Gabriel’s notice, before the seraph nodded at the archangel and walked through the portal, the first group through.

Gabriel squared his shoulders and crossed his arms across his chest, taking a guard-like stance next to the portal. He mostly wanted to make sure Lucifer didn’t slip through, but he did it to respect the distance that Sam clearly wanted. He counted as the people went through, noticing that the youngest went through first, then the oldest. As the abled-bodied started to go through, a vibrant redhead stopped and smiled at both Dean and Sam, thanking them again. They laughed with her and watched to make sure she got through the portal safely.

The archangel felt a small pang of jealousy shoot through him. He wanted Sam’s smile aimed at him.

Lucifer took the opportunity to try and cross through the portal. Gabriel rolled his eyes and shot his hand out, stopping him. “Not happening, Lu. We’re here ‘til the end.”

“Come on, G. They don’t need us here. There’s like three people left.”

“And Sam and Dean. We’re protecting everyone until they get through. That was the pl–”

Before Gabriel could finish his sentence, an explosion erupted near the van that had carried supplies and members of the resistance here. Bodies landed in ragdoll heaps as Sam and Dean ran to join the archangels. The smoke started to settle, and a tall, proud figure strode towards them, his bold black wings curling in on themselves. “Gentlemen,” the character cooed cockily as he rolled his shoulders loose. 

Lucifer growled, stalking forward to engage the figure. “Lu, you don’t really want to try this again, do you?”

“Um, yeah.” Lucifer’s eyes illuminated to their trademark red as he charged up an energy blast, shooting it off at this universe’s Michael. The archangel grunted and recoiled, caught briefly by surprise before smirking and firing back two blasts of his own. Unprepared, Lucifer took the blasts full-on groaning and falling to the ground unconscious.

Prepared to turn on Sam and Dean, Michael stopped in surprise. “Can it be? Gabriel?”

Gabriel paused, taking a moment to look at Sam. He had promised Rowena that they would both come back safe. But right now, seeing how easily this faux Michael took down Lucifer, there was no choice. “Go. I can buy some time.”

“Gabriel, don’t.” Sam pleaded, his voice cracking; the words too much and too late.

“All I did on Earth was run.” Gabriel looked to Dean, hoping the older Winchester would get the younger out of there. “I’m not running anymore.” He turned away from the brothers and walked towards Michael. He paused and turned back when he didn’t hear them moving. “GO!”

Dean grabbed Sam and started pulling him towards the portal. Gabriel could hear Sam struggling against his older brother and yelling at him to let him go. He squeezed his eyes shut for a moment before sliding out his blade. He lunged in a thrust that Michael easily parried before surprising his not-older-brother with a left hook. 

Michael smiled viciously, finding thrill and play in the fight, and swung in with precision that Gabriel barely had time to deflect. Please let them have gotten through. Please let Sam be okay without me. Gabriel prayed, not knowing if his dad was even listening. He blocked another blow from Michael before risking a look back towards the portal. There was no sign of either brother. Gabriel let out a sigh, his shoulders untensing, knowing that they got away.

“Gabriel!”

The archangel turned back towards Michael, Sam’s voice coming from between them. “Sam!?” A wet, sick, schlink of a blade sinking into flesh all but ripped his grace from him. “SAM! NO!” Fury tore through Gabriel’s veins as he charged an energy bolt, sending it at the opposing archangel. Michael went flying, landing against the escape bus and landing in a heap.

“I told you to leave.” Gabriel fell to his knees next to Sam, fighting back the tears. “DEAN!” He carefully took off Sam’s backpack and handed it to Dean before scooping Sam up into his arms. “You two were supposed to get out of here.”

“Right. You think I’d leave Cas behind? Like Sam would ever leave you behind, pissed or not.” Dean started rushing back to the portal. “Let’s go before Humpty and Dumpty get up.”

Gabriel cradled Sam to his chest, despite the significant size difference, carrying him back up the small hill to the portal. Dean waited, making sure that Gabriel got through the portal with Sam first, before stepping through himself. 

“Rowena!” Dean called. “Slam it shut! Cas, go with Gabe to the infirmary, now!”

Gabriel didn’t wait around to hear the cheers of celebration. He bolted past the refugees and through the library, chasing after Cas. His brother slammed into the door, shoving it and holding it open. Gabriel carefully carried Sam down the stairs and laid him on the undersized bed. “Cassie, I need you to do the first heal.”

Cas tilted his head in confusion, squinting but listening to his brother’s request. He held his hands over Sam’s weeping wound, and released his grace, weaving together the torn skin and flesh. Once the injury was closed, and the bleeding stopped, Cas stepped back, exhausted. “Gabriel, why was Sam’s body fighting against healing?”

Gabriel placed his hand on Cas’ head, rejuvenating him as he ruffled his hair. “That’s what happens when someone is kebab’d by an archangel blade. Dad kinda made it so we wouldn’t want to fight each other. Archangels can’t heal damage from our own weapons. Fun times.” Gabriel frowned at the unconscious Winchester. “Sam would’ve died if I tried to heal him.”

Dean and Rowena entered the infirmary, Dean standing back at the landing while Rowena rushed forward. Cas stepped back, letting the petite redhead get close to the resting Sam. “I’ve done everything I can.” Cas nodded at Rowena before heading to join Dean.

“Ye promised ye’d come back safe, Gabriel. Ye and Samuel, both. What happened?” Rowena sat on the edge of the bed and ran her fingers through Sam’s hair. “Mo dharach, what did ye do?”

“He kept Michael from stabbing me.” Gabriel hung his head in shame. “I said I would face Michael to buy him and Dean time to get out and for you to close the portal. Dean tried to get Sam to leave, but…” Gabriel’s voice trailed off.

“Like I said, Gabe,” Dean responded from his spot at the top of the stairs, Cas holding his hand, “Like Sam would ever let you stay behind.”

“Yeah, but he could come back, fix things with Rowena. I’d be out of the picture again.” Gabriel snapped. “Don’t think I don’t know why he was ignoring me and trying to get away from me, Dean.”

“Well, honestly, I don’t think any of us wanted to walk in on you two getting your groove on.”

“Dean.” Cas cautioned.

Dean shook his head. “No, he brought it up, I’m going to make sure he knows he’s right.”

“Enough, all of ye.” Rowena stood up and hugged Gabriel. “It’ll be alrigh’, mo shaoradh.”

Gabriel wrapped his arms around the petite witch, letting out a small sob.

“Are you kidding me?” A weak voice called from the bed. “You have to do that right there?”

Both Rowena and Gabriel whipped around and looked at the bed. Sam was struggling to push himself up to a sitting position, causing Dean to rush down the stairs. Sam looked at both of them, pain and anger welling up in his eyes. 

“Get the hell out of here.”
