someone needs to be careful and gentle with sam… just sit him down… hold his hands… make eye contact… and tell him quietly and emphatically how good and important he is
“Man, you wouldn’t even recognize the life I had before all of this. Before the diapers and the daycare. I had a life. I was out partying it up with girls, drinking myself out. Dad couldn’t handle life and honestly…I couldn’t handle mine. When I got that letter, I was alternating between yakking up my drinks and reading it.”
Gabriel shifted to look at me, pulling on a smirk. There was a twinkle in his eyes when he caught me looking at him.
Gabriel’s got enough to deal with, moving and raising his baby brother Cas. When Cas’s “imaginary” little friend Sammy shows up on their doorstep, though, things get complicated fast.
Before Castiel went to hell, before angels and demons and the apocalypse, Gabriel met the Trickster. Some things change, some things stay the same, but the story is still about a pair of brothers, and how they saved the world.

Inspired by the great fic Silk by Minchout and more particularly by the sentence: “His jeans were skin tight, tucked into a pair of calf-high black boots, laced halfway up, and he wore a slouchy sweater half hanging off one shoulder, his duffel slung over the other. His hair was half up in a messy knot at the back of his head. A cigarette dangled from his lips" (ballpoint pen + texture added in PS)
As soon as the fan asked that question, everyone in the audience started yelling out their favorites. This fandom has some strong opinions on Sam’s hair.
But the lion’s mane of delicately spun wood from the trees of the shadowy forest and dark gold lost in shipwrecks and wrought in to strands must disagree with you.
