Yeah, I don't know where this came from (sleep deprivation?), but hopefully not totally unlike what you wanted...
There's four of them - probably the four of them, which means they're still together, which is awesome. And Sam is still the tallest, which is just never going to get old.
He's also kind of a greenish-gray. It's not a great colour, but he can totally live with it, since the last time he was sort of this shimmery, glimmering sort-of colour that Dean kept trying to tell him was pink.
The blue one is Dean. He doesn't know exactly how he can tell which one is Dean, but he always can. Dean looks pretty human, the way Sam remembers they used to look, except for the inky-blue skin and the brilliant green eyes that, as Sam watches, blink sideways.
He doesn't know which one is Gabriel and which one is Cas. He always expects to, but somehow he never does. One of the angels - well, he supposes they're not really angels now, any more than he and Dean are really human, but one of them is purple and lithe and... well, cat-like, the way Sam remembers cats looking, with short fur and pointed ears and big yellow eyes and even a tail - but humanoid, upright on two feet.
The other one is covered in fur too, yellow-brown, tawny, like a lion, and his eyes are lion-like, all brown and gold. But other than that, he looks less like a cat than the other one, looks pretty human, actually - except that he has wings. Great sweeping wings that rise up over his head and reach down almost to his ankles. They've got fur on them, not feathers, but Sam thinks they'll be capable of flying anyway. He hopes they will.
He still can't tell which is which, but then "Dean," the cat-angel says to Dean in a deep, ringing voice, and that has to be Cas, because somehow Cas can always tell too.
"Cas," Dean says back, and then they rush towards each other and press together, body to body, mouth to mouth, and oh look, they both have tongues in this incarnation.
So cat-angel is definitely Cas, which means the winged angel sliding up beside Sam is Gabriel. Sam can feel the heat coming off his body, can feel the vibration in the air as he chuckles, a sound that always seems the same no matter what.
Gabriel shakes his new head. "The more things change, the more they stay the same," he says, arms folded, staring fondly at his brother and Sam's brother exploring each others' tonsils.
Sam rolls his eyes (does he have more of them than before?). "Yeah, no kidding," he says. "I always expect you to be the horny angel, but instead you're always the one who wants to start talk--mmph!"
Turns out Gabriel has a tongue in this incarnation too.
