 Ok, so, uh, don't you think this just one too many levels of metafiction going on here? The writer writing the writer who just, y'know, happens to be a prophet? Is any of this striking you as kind of ridiculous?

Not that I don't appreciate your plans to have me end up "BFFs" with Castiel, and yes, I'm aware how sad my lack of a social life is that that doesn't actually sound too bad, but... Jesus, what is it about me? Is my life just that much fun to screw around with? Because I promise you, it really, really isn't. And I'm tired of being subject to the whim of whatever divine entity or bored 20-something who wants to jerk me around like a puppet.

Look, look, fine. Just. If we're gonna do this, can you at least make it as painless as possible?

[Chuck squints at Gabriel for a moment or two, brows furrowed, because he's never met you but goddamn if he doesn't recognise you.]

Gabriel.

[Brilliant.]

Big old party here, isn't it? I can't wait for the fun to start.

[Rarely has anyone sounded more dejected at the notion of 'fun'.]

[Gabriel flashes a grin.]

Chuck. Thought you'd skip that little part of your history lesson.

[Kinda wish he did. Oh well.]

Ooooh, it's not all bad. Minus the torture, the death, the mental scarring, the terrible memories, and the whole 'losing people' thing, you could have some good times around here.

[Sigh. It's kind of a snitty sigh.]

It's not a history lesson, it's in my head.

[And frankly, Gabriel, you're not all that enjoyable to have in his head. He tones down the snittiness, though, because this is, after all, an Archangel, and Chuck is kiiiind of terrified by them. Even if Gabriel seems less angelic than certain others.]

I'm just going to hope she forgets about me.

Sorry for the wait. School got in the way.

True, true. Hey, you could just blip out on some details here or there. I'm sure no one would really give a crap.

[Hey, at least someone around here is. Sam and Dean need to stop giving Gabriel sass.]

Probably not going to happen, but join the club, Chucky.
