Another Sabriel Fic List

Since I asked for sabriel fic recs yesterday, I figured I should offer a few of my own that haven’t yet popped up in that discussion. All are 10k+ (yay!), s5/6-ish canon divergent, and feature a steamy side of destiel (and one surprise)

here’s my absolute favourite:

No One Would Riot For Less by narukyu - M - 70k

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.

here are some classics that double as great places to start your sabriel fic reading journey:

Like Glass by entanglednow - M - 14k

Sam wakes up on the bathroom floor.

Your Bottle Is Empty (But Your Glass Has Been Filled) by jjtaylor - M - 31k

“Becky wants me to tell you that she’s read everything so far and that she…thinks the romance plot is very compelling.”

The Color Gold by cyanspica - Explicit - 54k

Sam should know better than to trust a Pagan. He should definitely know better than to trust the Pagan God of Lies, especially when said god is the same one who once trapped him in a hellish time loop for months on end. Unfortunately, without Dean at his side for running on four years now and the last chapter of the apocalypse drawing closer every day, he doesn’t have room to be picky.

these two are more challenging reads but i also rarely see them come up in recs:

whose waves are years by eduwacee - Teen+ - 23k

In which Gabriel plays with time, and Sam seems to always be running out of it.

In His Image by anonymous - Explicit - 153k

Kali can breathe life back into a corpse, but what exactly is Gabriel now? Gabriel flits around various centuries trying to work that out, Dean has another powered-down angel and a little brother to look out for, Castiel has forgotten how to trust, and someone keeps sending Sam annoying little notes on his laptop. Oh, and Bobby would like to remind you all that there’s an Apocalypse still going on. Covers season 5 from Gabriel’s death to the finale.

ok this one doesn’t fit my word limit & it’s 100000% crack, but i read the description ONCE and have not been able to get the concept out of my head since…..so for your consideration, please enjoy:

You Could Be Paying for This Yourself by wallmakerrelict - M - 2k

Gabriel introduces his boyfriend (Sam) to his ex-boyfriend (Mayhem from the Allstate commercials). Hilarity ensues. Gabe is amused. Sam is not. And Dean might have to kill this guy if he doesn’t get away from Dean’s car.
