Sabriel

Sabriel is the slash ship between Sam Winchester and Gabriel from the Supernatural fandom.

Season 2
TALL TALES

Gabriel, disguised as a Janitor, lets Sam and Dean into the office of a professor. He sees Sam's emp and asks what it's for. Sam, disguised as an electrician, lies and says that it's to find the wire in the walls. Gabriel doesn't get why they're wiring up the office, since the proffessor threw himself out the window. Sam asks if he was working that night, and Gabriel says that he found him. Sam asks if he saw it happen, but Gabriel didn't but he did see him go up with a girl. Sam asks if he saw the girl come out, Gabriel says no and he hadn't seen that particular girl around. Sam asks if the building has only four floors, and Gabriel confirms. Sam asks if there would be a room 669, and Gabriel says no, asking why. Sam says that he's just curious and thanks him.

As Dean confronts Gabriel, Gabriel tells him that he shouldn't have come alone. Dean says that he didn't and Sam and Bobby walk through the back doors. Gabriel realizes that they fight Sam and Dean had earlier was a trick, and sends figments after the boys. Women for Dean and a chainsaw wielding serial killer for Sam. They get tossed around, Gabriel enjoying the show. Just as Gabriel gets up to kill Dean, Sam throws Dean the stake, and Dean drives it through Gabriel, "killing" him.

Season 3
In Mystery Spot Gabriel attempts to prove a point to Sam; that Dean is his weakness and everyone knows it. He does this by making Sam repeat the same Tuesday over and over again with Dean dying a different way every time. Sam eventually catches on that his time loop is a result of the trickster and demands he be taken to Wednesday with his brother alive. Gabriel obliges but on Wednesday, Dean is killed in a mugging. Sam begins to go down a very dark path cutting himself off from other people and dedicating himself to hunting. Eventually, Bobby reports that he found the trickster again and the two head to the Mystery Spot. There, Gabriel tries to converse with Sam again and, after telling Sam that he's like a brick wall, Gabriel snaps his fingers and ends the fake reality, bringing Sam to Wednesday morning with his brother alive.

Season 5
In Hammer Of The Gods Gabriel finally reveals his archangel identity to the Winchester brothers. After creating a plan to kill the deities and escape the motel, Gabriel gets trapped by Kali who then stabs him with his own angel blade, much to Sam's horror. Later in the episode, while the brothers are trapped in a conference room with the other deities, including Lucifer, Gabriel appears and reveals that the weapon Kali stabbed him with was made out of an orange soda can. He then places the brothers and Kali behind him to get them to safety, giving Sam once last look before the trio leave the room.

Fanon
Sabriel originally started as Sam/Trickster. The reason people ship Sabriel is usually in comparison to Destiel, so both Winchesters have angels. Others ship them based on their opposing personalities.

The reason some people do not like Sabriel is that in Mystery Spot, Gabriel killed Dean a million times, but this gave Sabriel shippers an amazing line, "It appears Sam has hit Gabriel's mystery spot."

On AO3, Sabriel is the second most written ship for Sam and the most written ship for Gabriel. It is the third most written ship in the Supernatural fandom.
