I might continue if I recieve enough reviews. Thank you DefineCrazy for the idea i've been trying to come up with a way to start a fic and this is a good preface for that story. Hope you like it even though it's short.

I don't own Supernatural and even if I did i would tell because then you would hunt me down and steal it. I know. I'm a fangirl too.

Of Life and Death

Michael felt it when Gabriel died.

It pierced right through his grace and nearly knocked him over. Any angels lower then the archangels were pushed to their knees when the wave of grace hit them.

Raphael had looked at him with shock and pain written on his face before they both flew to ground zero. When they entered the room holding Gabriel's body they both gasped. Lucifer had Gabriel clutched closely to his body and was sobbing as he rocked him back and forth. Raphael threw Lucifer against the wall before running over to their baby brother himself but Michael forced himself to walk over to Lucifer insted.

"Why brother? We both knew he would choose humanity in the end. Why?" He asked in a whisper. Lucifer looked up at his older brother and broke. "I didn't think it was really him Mike. I thought it was another trick and then he didn't fade and I realized what I did but it was too late. Please kill me, I'm ruined, kill me!" He begged.

Michael shook his head. "That would be too kind of me. No, you will live with the knowledge you killed our baby brother for the rest of eternity." He growled and shoved his hand deep into his brother ripping out his grace. "Now you will be what you despise." He said bottling his brother's grace and putting it on a chain around his neck as Lucifer fell to the ground unconscious. He then turned to Raphael. "Take him to the Winchesters. I will take care of Gabriel's body." He ordered with no room for questioning. Raphael nodded before disappearing with Lucifer.

Michael knelt by his brother's body and brushed the hair out of his face before kissing his forehead. "I'm sorry brother. So very sorry. Your sacrifice will not be in vain. The fighting is over. I wish I could have figured everything out sooner but I didn't. I hope you can forgive me for everything wherever you are." He said tears falling onto his brother's body. Michael then pulled Gabriel's body into his arms and flew to heaven to give him a proper funeral.

Gabriel would forever be remembered for sacrificing his life to bring on an era of love and peace between brothers; Michael would make sure of it.

*Sniff* I hate leaving Gabriel dead. It took all my control not to have him show up at the end. Hope it was... well not exactly enjoyable because if you enjoy Gabriel dying something is wrong with you but... Good I guess.

Reviews help remember Gabriel and encourage me to write happier stories.
