SUPERNATURAL POST 5x19 FIX-IT MEME

[tiptoe39]

I would hereby like to declare an official

SPN 5x19 Fix-It Meme!

Here's how to do it:

1) Post a comment with some possibility for how to bring our Gabriel back.

2) Give other people's prompts your rendering in commentfic.

3) Clap your hands really loudly and say "I DO BELIEVE IN ARCHANGELS."

4) Pimp subtly so you don't spoil your flist:

God declares a wholesale resurrection after he/she/it finally gets involved.

[tiptoe39.livejournal.com]

Gabriel IS God; Dean and Sam convinced him to get involved, so that's what he's off to do.

[tiptoe39.livejournal.com]

Dean and Sam find out angelic souls are preserved in some unusual form after the angels are killed; they set out on an epic quest to find Gabriel's.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Lucifer feels so bad, he finds a way to resurrect Gabe.

[tiptoe39.livejournal.com]

Gabriel's laying low in DVD-land, where Luci can't detect him.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Kali pulls whatever strings she can after the apocalypse to bring him back to life.

[moorishflower.livejournal.com]

Gabriel's years playing Loki landed him with friends in high places. Mythological beings from various religions bring him back as a favor/in return for services in the past.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Gabriel talks Death out of taking him.

[moorishflower.livejournal.com]

Gabriel cheats Death out of taking him. :D Possibly involving strip poker.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

One of Sam's conditions upon saying yes to Lucifer is that he needs to bring Gabriel back to life somehow.

God Brings back Gabriel

[seferin.livejournal.com]

and promotes his ass, since he was smarter than Michael and Lucifer and tried to stay out of it.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Dean is Michael's vessel. Sam is Lucifer's vessel. With that in mind, Gabriel (wherever he is) or the boys finds a way to make Adam his willing vessel.

Screen cap to support.

Of course Gabriel isn't really dead; he learned long ago how to trick his way out of any conceivable deadly situation. But now he's in hiding, and what better form to take than a rambunctious kitten that won't stop following Sam and Dean around, interjects with a high-pitched meow and a strategically-placed claw when he doesn't like the way things are going, and likes to pee in Dean's shoes when he's not looking?

[twelve-pastels.livejournal.com]

Kali still has Gabriel's blood, which holds some of his Grace; Cas comes to her to take it back and raise his brother. BAMF!Cas, and bonus points for gratuitous smut, any pairing.

[tiptoe39.livejournal.com]

The four horsemen's rings need to be wielded by the four archangels for the cage to be opened. Thus, Gabriel is still alive and shows up at the last minute to push Luci in.

[ghostrunner7.livejournal.com]

Let's have a fandom-wide poll to declare this canon.

[ghostrunner7.livejournal.com]

The whole thing was just one more goddamned trick. Gabriel may be Lucifer's little brother, but he's been a pagan god for all the millenia Lucifer has spent locked in cage.

He's no longer the one behind on the learning curve.

Re: Mahakali, Gabriel/Kali, PG13

[lexhibition.livejournal.com]

Haha. I'd want to actually research a bit more thoroughly than trying to remember what I learned about India in History 101 before promoting it from 'commentfic' to 'canon'. (I actually meant to add a disclaimer to that effect, argh)

just a bit of fun

"Now this," Gabriel said, "this is an interesting situation."

Death, who had expected to grab Gabriel around the metaphorical neck and slam him down into nothing, blinked at the controller in his hand. He craned his neck to stare at the grinning ex-angel.

"Mario Kart!" Gabriel said. "Come on, even you've played Mario Kart before. Aren't you good at fiery crashes? You'll beat me, I'm sure."

Death glared at him. His voice was more of a hollow wind; the words echoed in the empty rattle of it. "This isn't your popular mythology, little man. You don't get to play a game of your choice with me and walk free if you win."

Gabriel rolled his eyes. "I know that. This is more of a friendly icebreaker sort of thing. Since I'm gonna be the star of your collection and all. Oh, how did I know you were gonna choose Bowser?"

Death snarled at him. Gabriel picked Princess Peach.

"So what happens, anyway? To your collection? Do you keep all the frozen souls on display?"

A shrug of bony shoulders. "They're in storage."

"In storage? Really? So I'm going to end up on the floor of your basement?"

Death launched a turtle shell at him. Gabriel dodged. "What's the big draw? What happens with them?"

"It's a bit of fishing, really," Death said. "I throw them back eventually. Sometimes in another body, for a reincarnation. Most of them I just wait for your father to come around and tell me it's time to go home for the millennium."

"You know," Gabriel said, finishing the first lap with a triumphant cackle, "there are those who say Dad's not coming back this time."

Death shuddered. "Please, no."

"Oh?" Gabriel's eyebrows rose.

"They stink." Death's nose wrinkled. "Humans. They stink so badly. They're a little better when they're dead, but if I can't clear the room every few thousand years, it's like living in an ocean of horse manure."

Gabriel put on his best you must be stupid voice. "Then why do you collect them?"

"We've all got our roles to play," Death said calmly. "Or do you think your boyfriends down there are the only folks who are fighting it?"

"You know, for a force of nature you're remarkably reasonable," Gabriel noted as Princess Peach sailed past Bowser, lapping him in a grand, pixelated fuck-you to chauvinism. "So here's the deal, OK? I'm the first of us to die. Archangels. Do you know how much that upsets the existing balance? I mean, even Luci didn't die. Fell, yes, but this is the first time someone this powerful is gonna be sitting in your closet. So the way I figure it--" he dodged a poison mushroom -- "you've got two choices. Stick to the role you've been playing, pass go and collect me and keep playing the game, or accept that everything's up in the air now. Show some guts there." He glanced down at the awful rack of Death's ribs, poking through the shrunken, pale skin. "If there are any to show."

When Death smiled, it wasn't a pretty sight. "You're a tricky one."

Peach crossed the finish line. "Funny, that."

Death put down his controller. "Changing fate," he said. "Well, there's a first time for everything."

The ugly grin came one more time, and then Gabriel awoke in a warehouse that had once been a hotel.

Dean and Sam capture Raphael once more and make him raise Gabriel.

(Because archangels can totally raise other angels, if they thought that Castiel was raised by Lucifer at the beginning of the season, surely the other archangels can do it too.)

Re: just a bit of fun

[arlennil.livejournal.com]

OMG YES! This totally happened.

If anybody could talk Death out of keeping his soul, it would be Gabriel.
Perfect!

Fact checking is for... well, precise people, I guess.

Re: just a bit of fun

[tiptoe39.livejournal.com]

hee! glad you liked! And yes, he could.

I really, really love this.
