GabUri

GabUri is the femslash ship between Gabriel and Uriel from the Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint fandom.

Canon
Uriel and Gabriel were both archangels of , known on Star Stream by their respective constellation modifiers: Demon-like Judge of Fire and Lily Blooming in Aquarius.

Note: Despite many mistranslations around the novel over Gabriel's gender, according to Rainbow Turtle, translator of the novel, "a lack of gender words in Korean mean that sometimes the gender of a character is ambiguous. [Chapter 287] was the first time a gender pronoun appeared for Gabriel, showing that she's female, not male as previously assumed". To which is why Gabriel's intial appearance was referred with he/him pronouns, especially chapters 272, 278, 279 and it's not until 287 where Gabriel's now mentioned with she/her.

Gabriel makes her first appearance after Uriel appears in the 73rd Demon Realm to help Kim Dokja, being among the high ranking archangels from  who enter the channel and open an emergency meeting, summoning all demon kings and archangels in the scenario. However, after this, she's later punished by Metatron, putting her on probation for three years. During that period of time, she couldn't access to any streams. Her task of monitoring Kim Dokja is given to Gabriel instead.

Intially Gabriel was unaware of Uriel's punnishment, instead when they got back to , she asks Jophiel where Uriel is, to which she informs her about Uriel's detainment. At the unexpected news, Gabriel is shocked and laughs about it. After Metatron gathered the archangels separately to the ordinance, in which Jophiel was in charge of the lecture, Gabriel is not afraid to insult Uriel and call her swear words that are not allowed in Eden when Metatron asks the archangels about Uriel's absence. Later she's announced to the task of monitoring the Demon King of Salvation, and because the others are busy with other work, Gabriel is the one Metatron ultimately chooses to take up Uriel's former mission.

Despite the insults towards Uriel, Gabriel cares for her and tried to cheer her up when she was upset over her punishment. This is shown when Gabriel goes to Uriel's house to retrieve her notes on Kim Dokja, she initially doesn't answer. When Gabriel persists, she resorts to sending him indirect messages, telling her to get lost. After Gabriel keeps persisting, she finally opens the door and hands her a USB, but also warns her to hide it from Jophiel. She doesn't respond when Gabriel asks why. Gabriel hears her sniffling when she shuts the door, and tries to comfort her, but she tells her to get lost.

"Uriel didn't respond and shut the door. The intermittent sniffing was heard in the distance. Gabriel was about to say something only to end up pouting. They usually didn't get along but he became worried when he saw 'Demon Hunter Uriel' like this." Note 2: ◾ tends to be used as censoring to vulgar words. However, the filter ◾◾ is essentially a placeholder. It's not supposed to have meaning on its own, but the readers do give them one. For more information, go to this thread. Of course, beware of the spoilers.

After being brought to the world of 1863rd regression, at first, Gabriel couldn't understand what it was that Uriel liked about [Kim Dokja], and in turn she answers Kim Dokja in a questioning way about how she could know how Uriel was doing at that moment, however that reaction turned out to be a bit excessive. At their sacred mealtime, Gabriel and Jophiel are rambling over the former's decision keeping Yoo Joonghyuk alive, and according to her, if it wasn't for Uriel, she would have killed him. She's still worried about Uriel, unfocusing on the mission for a moment of monitoring Kim Dokja, which is intially reminded by Jophiel, however Gabriel replies that Uriel always gets into trouble when being left alone. Jophiel asks out of curiosity seemingly comprehensive if she liked Uriel, to which Gabriel shouts back in denial of this fact and changes topic to find out a way to get back to .

Despite Gabriel's first impression of Kim Dokja and Yoo Joonghyuk's association being antagonistic, she is sympathetic since she projects the scene of Kim Dokja stroking Yoo Joonghyuk's head with her and Uriel's relationship, in which there was some resemblance. She wonders about the term "comradeship", and for a very short time, Gabriel seemed to understand why Uriel liked them.

"In the distant place, Kim Dokja seemed to be stroking Yoo Joonghyuk's head. Looking at this scene, Gabriel was reminded of Uriel and herself. It was different but there was some resemblance."

"...Comradeship?"

"For a very short time, Gabriel seemed to understand why Uriel liked them."

- Gabriel finding resemblance of Yoo Joonghyuk and Kim Dokja's relationship to her and Uriel's.

Due to Uriel's fury towards Yoo Joonghyuk from the 1863rd Regression, Gabriel is confused about their relationship and tries to find a reason of why Uriel was attacking Yoo Joonghyuk, being cut off by Kim Dokja before revealing the consequence of not telling her about it, saying interrogatively "What good is it to say it?", keeping it a secret as they didn't have to know part of the destruction of  in that regression and consequently other events occurred right there.

Since Uriel of the 1863 regression was going to attack Kim Dokja, Gabriel announces her presence with the majesty of the voice of an archangel, stopping Uriel. The latter recognizes the voice, and Gabriel tries to open her eyes to the point of what she was about to do: hurt her friends and companions (of a regression that 1863rd Uriel did not know about). However, when she tries to approach Uriel, she does not understand what Gabriel had said, and replies that Gabriel was alive, having groveled to a demon king, which means that Gabriel had betrayed  in that regression, something that only Kim Dokja and the others from 1863 knew about. Uriel proceeds to attack with his enormous magical power "Hell Flames Ignition", to which Kim Dokja asks Gabriel for more strength, Gabriel granting his request. Along with Jophiel, they manage to take down Uriel and retain her with constraints, which would make angels fall into a deep sleep for a week.

Upon seeing confined doll Uriel, she makes her decision of staying on 1863rd regression. Gabriel is adamant about it, however Kim Dokja and Jophiel are the ones who had actually made up their minds to do so, denying Gabriel the chance to do so, knowing that in that regression she had betrayed , so Kim Dokja assured her that there was a way to change the future if they returned to the original worldline. Jophiel entrusts Gabriel to Kim Dokja while holding Uriel back with her "Confinement of Good and Evil" stigma. Kim Dokja asks Jophiel why she was doing this, to which she replies that they both need each other, knowing that they are both unstable.

Kim Dokja in turn promises Jophiel to visit Eden to inform the scribe about what happened there.

Once back to the original worldline, Kim Dokja realizes he still had the symbolic body of Gabriel when Raphael's modifier announces himself, and also notices the lily had disappeared (a resemblance of Gabriel), to which he remembers an archangel's hand passing over him while asleep, possibly one of 's constellations. He assumes it was most likely to be Uriel since she was Jung Heewon's sponsor.

After Kim Dokja finished his contract with Surya and also inform Metatron about 's destruction and was about to leave the place to destroy , several angels came to see him off, Uriel included. However, she was very nervous, as she hugged Jung Heewon back when she initializes the hug with her face full of emotions. Gabriel's indirect message appears to look at Uriel's incarnation to announce Uriel Jung Heewon will be staying in  for another week, since she had spoken to the scribe. Uriel's eyes widened at this, and Gabriel leaves Jung Heewon in charge of Uriel to train her since she was absent for 3 years, to which Uriel excitedly agrees.

After Metatron's death, Uriel becomes the leader of  and assists Kim Dokja in fighting against  and  with the other archangels, Gabriel included. Their arrival is announced by Han Sooyoung to Kim Dokja, and Uriel says: "⸢[...It's like, me and Gabriel want to join 'Kim Dok-Ja Company' too, you see?]⸥", which is what Uriel said before they left for the Final Scenario, wanting to join the nebula and become their strength.

In KimCom's search for fragments of Kim Dokja's soul to his real body, it's revealed both Uriel and Gabriel are roommates after 's destructions at the Complex. Jung Heewon comes to visit Uriel by knocking a worn door in a special guest room from the place. Since there was no response, she turns the doorknob and what greeted her inmediately afterwards a holographic figure of Kim Dokja. There were tons of figurines of Kim Dokja inside the room. and when she studies each and every figurine specifically the figurine "Kim Dok-Ja the Squid's last tentacle (made by Yangsan)", she's about to reach it out only to hear a true voice coming from the room telling her if she carelessly touch it, Uriel's going to get really mad. Heewon notices it was Gabriel, and asks her about Uriel's location, making Gabriel display her fable power. It seemed that Gabriel had already figured out why she came to visit. Jung Heewon looks around the room; she sees a bunk bed shared by Uriel and Gabriel on the corner and the word  was stuck above it as a poster, which implies they're sharing a bed. Once again, Jung Heewon repeats the same question, only to be told by Gabriel that she was behind Heewon.

Heewon notices Uriel had changed after arriving from a junk food shopping: her dark wings that used to be on her back had disappeared, and instead of her favorite black dress, she's kitted out in a grey hoodie and a pair of track pants. Uriel had knew everything too, and Heewon gently asks her to become her constellation one more time in order to help the company to save Kim Dokja.

The ending shows them as the system's power of Star Stream becoming obsolete in their world that had made everyone lose their powers, Dokja's stories had came back to his body in their world, and Kim Dokja's Company is mentioned rush to meet him once again at Lee Seolhwa's hospital, concluding the story with an open ending with the catchphrase: “⸢This story is for just that one reader.⸥”

Fanon
It's intially a small pairing due to their major interactions being inside the novel, a media which not everyone reads. However it does have a large following because they're canonically roommates and the fact that Gabriel resembled their relationship as Joonghyuk and Dokja's, which might imply Gabriel has some sort of an attraction to Uriel. Also Jophiel's teasing comment over Gabriel liking Uriel, fueling the ship more, although this moment tends to be overlooked.

There had been some debating over Gabriel's gender, to which the ship used to be sort as a h/f pairing, however after some mistranslations, it's been concluded that Gabriel is actually a woman, going by she/her pronouns, the character being drawn as a woman in most fan works and also the canon art released from the fandom's e-book which is on sale. The ship's now considered a femslash pairing.

The ship has 15 works created on AO3, being the most written ship for both characters. Their predominant ship tag is "GabUri" or "GabuUri", while in korean it's 가브우리 (gabeuuli or Gaburi).
