A/N: This story is technically set during the ninth season, but for some frankly obvious reasons, I don't love the idea of this REALLY being set during the ninth season. So, for this reason, I've come up with some semi-plausible reasons for why it would be generally okay (for Winchester standards.) And I didn't really want to write out an entire story just to explain why these problems are no longer problems. Because those stories would be updated so sparingly that you'd've wondered if I'd literally dropped dead. So. Here you go. A short summary.

The Abaddon Problem: To deal with the Abaddon problem I've decided that since Archangels are the most powerful beings (aside from God) in the universe, Gabe would probably be able to kill her. I hope. You know, literary license and all. So, therefore, Dean never goes and gets the Mark from Cain.

The Metatron Problem: Gabriel would have none of Cas actually working with Metatron, and Gabe would be suspicious of the guy from the beginning. Basically, Metatron can't get Cas to work with him, and never gets to the point where the Angels actually fall.

The Gadreel Problem: Since Cas isn't tied up with Metatron, and Dean has a very powerful Archangel on his hands (who, obviously will go to great lengths to make sure that Sam is okay), Cas and Gabriel are able to get Sam stable, and eventually back to previous health by working together.

So did those seem semi-plausible? Please? I dunno, I kinda like the idea that if Gabriel were alive, then he would pretty much fix the entire ninth season. If you have any better ideas, then please, leave them in the comments. I would love that. Thanks. So, with no further ado, on with the start, of Gabriel and Persistent Pestering.

*:*:*:*:*

Gabriel was so done with them. Just so done. They were so absolutely painstakingly obvious… It almost hurt. To everyone but them of course. So, because he was Gabriel, he would get them together. And he really didn't care how at this point.

It really didn't take a long time to come up with a plan, only about a week spent on the internet, and he had a plan. Sure it hadn't taken long to get his genius plan, but the actual waiting for when he could act upon his plan was killing Gabriel. Gabriel couldn't stand waiting for things to happen. He would be one of those people that you'd see standing in the line at Kroger's and he'd have some weird suspicious nervous twitch and you'd think that he was being chased by the police or the mafia, but then you would have to pay for your milk and salad fixings and you would forget all about the man. Then again, If Gabriel wanted anything from the store, then he'd probably just make it simply materialize in his hand.

But back to Gabe and his careful planning. He'd seen in on Chuck's blog. That Carver Edlund (who absolutely everyone knew was Chuck Shirley by now) would be attending a convention in… A month. Gabriel scowled, glaring at the screen on the phone that'd magically appeared in his hand several hours ago. He couldn't really just will it to be sooner, any number of things could go wrong with that. Gabriel would have to wait an entire month to set the two friggin' lovebirds up. Gabriel glared again at the screen. He sighed in a way that would've fogged up his glasses if he had them. He leaned back in his chair, smiling as he came up with the entirety of his plan.

The day of what would later be known as The Convention.

Gabriel sauntered confidently through the main doors in the convention hall, with his green and gold robes and horned helmet. Yes. Gabriel had become Loki for his cosplay. He saw several people that recognized him and he nodded their way. He gave a Thor a hug, and took a picture with a Captain America. Gabriel's face, looked (obviously) nothing like Gabriel's face. His plan (which he'd been brewing over for the past month) started as soon as he caught sight of the Supernatural series convention table. He walked vaguely over to the vague-ish area that the table was at, and sent a short illusion of what looked like an Angel shadow onto the wall. Nobody saw it. Gabriel made a face. He waited another minute or so, and sent the illusion again, just for a few seconds more, and on a different wall. Some people saw it, but dismissed it as a normal shadow, not taking any time to think about it at all. Another minute, and another shadow.

Gabriel's plan (as he might've mentioned before, was absolute genius) was absolute genius for this simple reason: A good number of the Supernatural fans had convinced themselves that the series was all real. Gabriel grinned as a couple fans actually saw his shadow this time, and he laughed quietly. He made the lights flicker a bit. The few fans that had noticed looked up, slightly concernedly at the lights. One took out a small bag and threw salt in the air. (Apparently, they weren't really allowed to actually make a salt circle. Apparently it was too messy). The other laughed. Gabriel was momentarily distracted by someone cosplaying Gabriel. Gabriel grinned, and waved hello. Another illusion, one that moved this time. Several more people noticed it. One person pointed it out to Chuck, who laughed nervously, really hoping that that person was wither delusional or just plain messing with him. Gabriel waited a few more minutes this time and caused the lights to flicker and the illusion appeared again. This time it obviously was brandishing a knife. One person who wasn't a fan saw it and jumped and 'eeped' slightly.

Gabriel noticed a 'Cas' was kissing a 'Dean' and someone was taking a picture of them. Gabriel doubled over with silent laughter. How ironic. Or was it coincidental? Sam would probably know. Oh well, too busy with the plan to actually think about it. Another shadow. This time a good group of Supernatural fans noticed and pointed over at it. Gabriel turned off the lights all flickery-like, and turned them back on a second later. Several people screamed with surprise. Gabriel fake jumped (because the security footage would be bound to be looked at, and someone who had absolutely no reaction to the lights supposedly randomly turning off would be automatically suspicious).

Things started to happen in rapid succession, Gabriel made a physical form (but it flickered slightly, as if a hologram) appear, eyes glowing. Several more people screamed. One fan took out their bag of salt and threw a handful of it at the form. It vanished. The person stood frozen until all of their group contributed and poured a salt circle around them. The 'ghost' appeared again, and slid a knife out of its sleeve. Out of nowhere, another 'person' (That Gabriel created) appeared, with a knife as well. The 'ghost' flickered forward and stabbed the other Angel (not really, it was just an illusion) straight in the chest. A large red spot was forming in his chest and light spilled out of his eyes and mouth and the hole in its chest. He collapsed on the ground, and with another huge flash of light he was on the ground, huge burnt wings spread out beside him.

It was totally silent for about five and a half seconds, and then everybody in the room instantly started to panic. Gabriel did the same, but was grinning. His plan was going just as smoothly as it had gone in his head.

A/N: Second authors note! So, first chapter. I've already started writing the second chapter, which should be up by Saturday, if not, just bother me until I do put it up. So... whatcha think? Please like and comment. Thanks!
