That was perfect, and guh. I love the details about Gabriel's human back hurting as the wings come out, its something I never even thought of but it works so well.

In retrospect, Gabriel describes his entrance with dramatic flair and makes it sound like he was breaking up an orgy of witches with Sam as the creamy nougat center.

*laughs* Gabriel would describe it like that too, given his love for sweets.

egging silently, his hand still moored to the burning imprint on Sam's hip.

Hip marking! Oh my god, I love hip marking.

Thank you so much! This made my night.
