Heya, folks, seasons greetings and all that crap. It be Friday, so we get some room to play today! The sky is the limit, as it were, except for a few rules we need to just remind y'all about:
NO spoilers in prompts for at least one week after airing. Also, if your response contains spoilers, please warn for them and leave at least 3 empty lines before starting your fic.
Also, to make sure everyone gets a chance to prompt... no more than five prompts in a row, no more than 3 per fandom. You can always come back and prompt more after yours have been answered.
Please remember to be kind to you code monkeys (who work hard at a job that is time consuming) and code your prompts properly (fandom, pairing, prompt).
Examples:
Numb3rs, Colby/Charlie, The first time Colby called him "Professor"
Criminal Minds/Leverage, Reid/Eliot, "It's getting hot in here..."
Don't see anything that whets your appetite? Check out our lonely prompts archive here on delicious for some amazing ideas that just haven't been given homes yet.
Also, gird your loins, because next week is the start of yet another Quarterly Year Challenge, where we give you no prompts but instead offer lovely prizes to get you to write some of the prompts piling up in our archives.
Ready? Prompt!

Date: 2009-12-27 06:19 am (UTC)"You want us to what?" Gabriel drawls, picking up a fork and poking at the top of pancake stack with a frown. Goddamn her for killing his appetite, of all things.
Anna shrugs. "You heard me."
"I heard you, but I still don't believe it. I thought this was Castiel's snipe hunt."
"I wouldn't call it a snipe hunt." If she shrugs one more time, he is going to break a coffee mug over her head- no fooling. "Castiel has the Winchesters to look after and-"
"And you're still pissed at him," Gabriel supplies. He decides to screw his absent appetite and plucks the syrup covered strawberry from the top of the stack and begins sucking the syrup off of it. It's really the only thing to do when your baby sister won't leave you alone for ten minutes, because she has this brilliantly stupid plan to find your missing Father.
"That's the short of it. You're one of the few angels who have seen Him, Gabe. If you won't help them, then help me."
He finishes off the strawberry and resumes poking savagely at the pancakes. "You're not special, little sister. In fact, you're more annoying than they are."
"But I'm not Michael or Lucifer," she points out, clearly not daunted by the fact that he seems keen on insulting her until she finally decides to leave. Evidently, leaving isn't on her agenda. Damn her.
Damn her for having a good point, too. She's not Michael or Lucifer and she's not asking him to play favorites. Technically, neither were the Winchesters, but he has pride and pride dictates that he not waltz around, bowing down to two mortals who just so happened to hit the nail on the head. Cas can be their puppy- he'll just be Gabriel.
And that's all Anna wants from him. Be Gabriel the Messenger.
"Touche, little sister," he snorts derisively. It's not an agreement, but Anna smirks like it is. The urge to break a coffee cup over her head remains, but he'll ignore it for the moment.
"There's one more thing, Gabriel," Anna says after a moment and it's like she waited for him to start eating. He glowers at her over the pancakes, mouth too full to actually respond verbally. "The children of the Watchers."
Gabriel swallows. "...They're dead."
"You killed them."
"I had them kill each other," Gabriel points out, waving his fork. "There's a difference."
Anna's serene placidity hasn't broken and if Gabriel didn't know any better, he'd wonder if she was deriving sadistic amusement from her... Being her. Except he knew better- Anafiel was the paragon of Grace before she Fell. "There's still a few alive."
Gabriel chokes on his pancakes. The children of angels- the nephilim, the abominations that their Father demanded be destroyed because they frightened and terrified the humans... The very creatures he helped destroy are still out there? And Anna knows this? ....And this is going to somehow help them find God? ....And she couldn't have mentioned this before?
He closes his eyes and deadpans, "I hate you."
"But you're still going to help?" Anna asks, tilting her head a bit.
"I. Hate. You."
