I've been reading through the Gabriel Big Bang fics, and just finished this one. It was an excellent read, if not always a comfortable one. I found it to be fascinating, and rather horrifying (which is meant as a complement, because you really made Gabriel's family unsympathetic!) You did quite a bit of world-building, giving it a depth most AU's lack. You dropped a lot of tantalizing hints about backstory that made me wish I knew more. Also, your rank/gender system for the werewolves was particularly intriguing; I don't think I've seen anything like it before.

I was a bit shock by how... revolting some of my favorite characters were. Good job; it takes a lot to make me actually loathe characters I normally adore. Cas in particular left me feeling a bit ill. If he'd been as crazy as Lucifer when he'd done what he'd done, I wouldn't have minded, but he seemed so rational and didn't see anything wrong in his treatment of Gabriel... *shudders* (Apologies that this is a bit of a backhanded complement, but it is meant as praise!)

Anyway, if your other stories are as well written as this, I'll definitely have to give them a read!
