Welcome to Sam and Gabe’s Alternate Universe time!
Sam looks around the room which is lined with shelves on both sides. Many containing artifacts he hasn't seen before, due to the fact that Cas discovered this room last week. Somehow even after all this time they never opened this room before. Sam was trying to make an inventory of everything in a room when he found a blue crystal in a box with what looked like enochian carving. Cas was out on a hunt with Dean so Sam went looking for Gabe. Sam passes Gabe the box holding the crystal in his hand.
Gabe you have any idea what this is?
Gabriel walks over and takes one look at it and rushes forward
There’s a bright flash of light.
——————————————————————————————————————————
Sam had to grade papers of the OWLs that happened last week. He had high hopes from the fifth year Ravenclaws. He was heading towards his classroom when he saw professor Gabriel sitting in the great hall. Most teachers had gone home for the summer so he was surprised to see Gabriel.
Gabe is also grading. He has the scores for the practicals sitting next to him as he grades the written tests. He runs a hand through his hair and sighs.
Gabriel thought it was just me and professor McGonagall and Granger staying in the school over the summer?
Oh hello Sam. Yeah. Originally I was going to go home. But I’ve decided to avoid the drama with my brothers this year. Plus I need to finish grading these. I honestly thought the Slytherins were going to do better than this.
I mean they are doing well in potions. Well I'm glad that I have nice company. Don't get me wrong the other professors are great but I like being around you. No I mean like...you get the point?
I like you too Samshine. Come sit with me? I’m sure grading is better when I have someone to talk to.
I didn't... Sam thinks for a second. Merlin's beard! I guess there is no point in me denying it."
Sam smiles as he sits next to Gabriel.

Sam opens his eyes, realising that both him and Gabe were knocked out by whatever powers the crystal had. He sits up and moves closer to Gabriel who was still lying on the floor.
Gabe sits up and groans a little.
That was weird. But yeah I’m okay. Are you Samshine?
What the hell just happened? What was that thing?
Gabe picks up the box and the crystal he closes the lid of the box before responding.
Well Samshine. You know how a tulpa, with the right symbol and enough belief, come into existence? This crystal is essentially an anchor for a smallish alternate universe version of that. They’re very rare and I didn’t know any had made one in recent history. They were used by magic users to escape reality or hide from enemies when they were more commonplace.
So how did we come back? Can this be reused? I mean if there was an emergency not that I won't love to teach potions at Hogwarts. Always thought I'd be an auror or something.
Well. We came back right after you sat down to grade with me. After we admitted we liked each other.
Gabe studies the box for a moment.
We might be able to use it again. But I’m not sure. I think I’d rather have this version of you Samshine. Though you look good in a robe
So what, whatever alternate universe we are in I'm always this hopelessly in love with you?
Gabe looks a little shy for a moment.
Is that a bad thing? Because I know in every universe I’m completely in love with you too
Gabriel smiles and hugs Sam tight.
