Wednesday - Colors

[somehowunbroken]

It's Wednesday, and our prompt today is colors. Maybe one of your characters has a secret favorite color. Maybe they really look great in blue shirts. Maybe they accidentally (or not-so-accidentally) get covered in sparkly green glitter. Your prompt can be silly or serious, longer or shorter, but it must have something to do with a color.

The rules:
-No more than five prompts in a row
-No more than three prompts per fandom
-If your prompts get answered, feel free to post more
-No spoilers in your prompt for at least a week after publication/air date
-If there are spoilers in your fic response, please warn and leave adequate space following the warning to let folks give it a pass.

Please take mercy on our hard working code monkeys and format your prompts properly (and try not to make them overly long).

For example:

-Stargate Atlantis/Stargate SG1, John/Cam, dress blues
-Hawaii Five-0, Steve/Danny + Grace, Grace makes Steve the pinkest card ever for his birthday
-Sanctuary, Tesla and Magnus, "you're out of red wine again"

Have fun!

Re: Fill(2/2), Gabriel/Sam

A moment later, true to his word, Gabriel's stopped weaving and is holding up a dreamcatcher, with all of Sam's worst nightmares etched on it in tiny perfect squares. "A gift from Athena, to thank you for giving me wisdom," Gabriel's grinning like it's a fine joke, but a little true too. He's still breathing but slowly now. "I had to be my pagan self to make this, and pagans are more powerful the more they are human."

Gabriel tosses him the dreamcatcher and Sam gasps. It's a warm, pulsing thing. Wild but safe for you, it reassures and says, sleep, you can sleep, safe and Sam is tempted, so tempted.

Gabriel's frowning at it, "It needs something more," he announces. Then Sam hears the sound of beating wings and is surrounded by light. It isn't white, though there's white in there, and red, and blue, and green and turquoise and others he wouldn't know how to start naming, that there probably aren't any names for, and they're all reflected in the dreamcatcher in his arms.

"Your wings, you made it from your wings," Sam says, quietly, awed.

Gabriel flushes and says dismissively "Thank me with sexual favors," and plucks out a single feather from the darkest part of his right wing. Sam offers him the dreamcatcher, but Gabriel moves to place it over his throat, so that it lies over his Adam's apple and moves down over the 'vee' of his collarbone and the tip lies on his chest. Gabriel glances up, and Sam is awed again to realize that he's asking permission and nods because he can't trust himself to speak.

The feather burns into him briefly, and now the dreamcatcher feels less wild; less the master, more the pet.

Sam says, "I want..." and shuts up. Wonders whether he really is enough of a masochist that his mind comes up with such things on its own. Lucifer doing it would make perfect sense, he'd have more fun when there is some hope left to destroy.

"Sam, you bonehead," Gabriel says, sounding exasperated, but Sam's already half-way to asleep.

When he wakes up, he feels the dreamcatcher before he sees it.

He sees Dean looking guarded and hopeful. Castiel is there, in some sort of blue shirt beneath his trusty trenchcoat (and hadn't Dean picked that up, back at that lake?) and with his hands folded together at his waist in a nervous manner.
Sam sits up, his heart beating hard enough to hurt and there, at the doorway to the room, stands Gabriel. For the first time in years, Sam feels light, and he beams.
Dean mutters, "Oh, yeah, you've lost it," but he's smiling too, and Cas looks a little relieved and very confused. Gabriel's expression doesn't change at all, if you don't count his eyes going from yellow to gold but Sam's throat warms up briefly in the pattern of a feather.

I'm delighted! I need more Gabriel-in-the-mess-that-is-S7 in my life and this certainly fit the bill. I love the idea of the dreamcatcher, it's lovely! Thanks so much for the fill. :D

You're very welcome! I've noticed I always seem to be doing your fills, they give me such great ideas.
