My Guardian Trickster

Part 1-The Beginning

Gabriel ran away from Heaven. After Lucifer's fall he couldn't stand to be there any longer, so, he ran.

He ran from Michael, he ran from his heavenly duties, he ran from the Host.

His father had the same idea and had also vanished, without anything like a note to say he was leaving. He just vanished.

So Gabriel did the same.

It was hard for him to leave his brothers and sisters at such a fragile time, but he just couldn't stay.

He knew that the entire Host would look for him, and he knew that Michael would worry he went with Lucifer.

So as his own witness protection he took up the role as Loki. The trickster god of mischief.

Honestly, it was fun to mess with the pagans, Ganesh the most. Setting him lose in a village or town as his true elephant state was a laugh, for some time.

Eventually though, it got boring.

The constant meetings about pathetic pagan problems. The constant hiding his true power, his grace, to look like the god he was impersonating.

Eventually it got too much. The constant pranks on Thor and the snide remarks and bantering with Oden, not even they were enough to be fun.

For awhile he tried the whole god sacrifices thing. People worshipped him, gave him offerings and made him temples. They did things in his name, Loki.

Though, these too grew old.

He wasn't a pagan god and he didn't enjoy the sacrifices or the taste of human flesh. Obviously he had to indulge in these things. He had to make sure he wasn't found out.

Finally, he found something that was fun and fit his role enough that he could blend in.

He would go round finding assholes that needed their just desserts and he would serve it to them.

He would use their sins to bring about their downfall by tricking them.

He didn't always kill them.

No, sometimes he would leave them traumatised yet redeemed.

Though yes, sometimes he did kill them. If they weren't redeemable he would kill them or if they did something to piss him off, he would kill them.

It wasn't long until he had Hunters on his trail.

They never caught him though.

He actually tried not to kill the hunters, they had good intentions, no matter how much of an asshat they were, he would trick them into thinking they had killed him.

Sometimes they actually managed to stab him, and not his double, but even then, they didn't kill him.

Hunters believed him to be a simple Trickster, not Loki, and certainly not Gabriel, Archangel of The Lord.

They couldn't kill him with a stake or anything else they tried.

He kept this routine of giving assholes their just desserts for awhile.

He loved the power and freedom it gave him.

He hadn't expected to hear anything from the Host until the apocalypse was weill under way, he most certainly hadn't expected to hear from his Father.

So it came to a surprise to him when he heard his Fathers voice telling him to look after Lucifer's vessel, Sam Winchester.

It came as an even bigger surprise when he first laid eyes on the boy and he found that he loved the boy on first sight.

His grace sang at the sight of the child and the child's soul shone bright when Sam gazed upon the archangel.

It was the beginning of a friendship that would last forever.

And the beginning of a love story that would never die.
