Author's Summary:
"She used to tell me angels were watching over me. In fact, that's the last thing she ever said to me."

Review:
I love this fic for how the author has used Gabriel's shapeshifting powers to write something that's both scorching hot and full of feels. The basic premise is that Sam and Gabriel keep running into each other after Gabriel's 'death' as the Trickster. Whenever they meet Gabriel is someone different, and every time they have sex. It's hot smut, but it's also a collection of episode coda's told through the different dynamics of each encounter.

Gabriel is always the dominant party, giving Sam what he needs and at the same time finding out both what he himself wants from their relationship, and what role he wants to play in the looming apocalypse. While a lovely source of smut, this is also a surprisingly romantic fic about the development of Sam and Gabriel's relationship. Gabriel isn't just enjoying sex with Sam, but is also in his own way making sure that Sam stays sane, and Gabriel's own slow realisation of this is a great read.
