In The Beginning – Gabriel’s Origins Master List

A/N: This was written for @archangelgabriellives‘s 2400 followers celebration and kicks off a multi-author exploration of Gabriel’s backstory!  I get to tell this story with some of my favorite Gabriel writers and some amazing friends.  I had the great distinction of setting the scene and writing about Gabriel’s earliest days.  I hope you enjoy this and that you follow along with the story!

Super huge thanks to my beta (who isn’t on tumblr).  She had this to say: “This is beautifully written.  It feels biblical and true to the show, too” So, if that sounds like something you’d be into, read on friends!

In The Beginning – 

In the beginning when God created the heavens and the earth, the earth was a formless void and Darkness covered the face of the deep, while a wind from God swept over the face of the waters.  The wind brought with it light, life, grace.  The Darkness followed behind, full of death and destruction.

Eyes opened.  Tens of thousands of eyes opening all at once as consciousness and awareness flooded into his being.  His?  He was beyond any form or concept of gender but he supposed that the masculine would suffice.  He was light and power, glory and praise, sight and knowledge.  His heads tilted, his eyes took in the void around him.  

A voice spoke, like the tinkling of a wind chime and the booming of thunder.  “Gabriel.”

Are we just going to ignore the fact that Cas basically asked Gabe to take over Heaven???

Glad I’m not the only one who noticed!!! This is the first post I’ve seen about it amidst the whirlwind of Rowena/Gabriel discourse.

Gabriel in charge has been one of the better ideas thrown out there for Heaven. He’s clever, intelligent, and as the angel that’s been in a vessel the longest out of all of them, he’s a great blend of humanity/human culture and celestial being.

Of course, he’d have to get past his self-doubt and instinct to run from responsibility, and even then, I’m not certain I see his character as the type to settle long-term at the helm. I can see him wanting to be there to help, however, and how cool would it be if Cas did it with him?

That would be my happily ever after for them. The two of them bro-ing it up in Heaven, rebuilding a home they thought would never want them back, popping back down to earth every now and then to help the Winchester’s (or in Gabriel’s case, let off a little steam and play).

innersanctuaries:

I’d like to mention that there has been very little interaction between Sam and Gabriel throughout the show in comparison to the amount of time Cas and Dean have had together, so it’d be rad if people could stop complaining about there being one whole episode of Sam and Gabriel being around each other. Y’all have had nine seasons of Destiel material. We haven’t even had nine episodes of Sabriel interaction. For the love of god, let us have this.

Amen.
