Yay! I'm so glad I'm not the only one who's a fan of the darker parts of the Trickster. I have a big old soft spot for fluffier Gabriel fics as well, but man, I love dark Gabriel. The immoral (according to human standards) side of him is a huge part of what I find so alluring about his character on the show. I'm really glad that this story satisfied another dark!Gabriel fan. That's pretty much exactly what I hoped to achieve.
I'm also very pleased you liked Sam (and even poor, morally-challenged Pam as well). A story pretty much cannot go wrong for me if the Sam in it displays his intelligence and goodness. Sounds like we have similar views of what makes a good Sam.
And of course I'm thrilled that the story kept you guessing. When I set out to write it, I had actually planned for Dean and John to come to the rescue, after Sam and Gabriel'd had some bonding time, of course. But then Sam decided he was going to be all impressive and rescue himself. :D
Thank you so so much for this wonderful comment, and I'm really happy you enjoyed the story so much. :)
