Trick of the Trade

This story takes place in AU Supernatural, throwing in a bit of AU Supernatural RPS for an even more fun twist. Sam plays the good samaritan as he invites Gabriel into his house and into his life. Gabriel is stunningly himself even in an AU setting and with amnesia. Becky is a delight to read about, starring as Sam's best friend. I want to avoid spoilers so let me just say: This story is awesome. (Also includes past-Sam/Jess, sort of pre-Dean/Castiel, and Gabriel/Ruby.)
