The "It's not a problem unless you make it one" Series.
https://archiveofourown.org/series/4460509
Main pairing: Sam Winchester/Gabriel is Loki
Series Description:
The misadventures of Sam and Loki. Just a little collection of related oneshots leading up to "Hammer of the God's" and it's aftermath.
There are currently 6 fics (up to 4x7 in the timeline of things at the moment) and there will be more in the future. The whole reason I created this little series is because I wanted more Sabriel fics that involved Sam and Loki.
It was so much fun and wonderful to challenge myself by work on all of these prompts. Thank you @spncreatorsdaily for a wonderful event. ❤️
Day 6: Rituals/spells/ceremonies or “Haha, look! This pumpkin looks just like you!”
A Sensual Sacrifice, Rated Explicit, now available on my Ao3.
Summary:
Sam is one of many followers of the old god Loki, but the only one that caught the god’s eye and hunger.
See below the cut for preview.
Preview:
The full moon's light cast elongated shadows across the dirt path and the forest that led up to the mouth of the cave that served as his peoples' temple. Sam stood on the edge of darkness, peering into the void of the cave's opening, where the moonbeams couldn't penetrate. Sam swallowed, shivering in the warm breeze as it caressed over his freshly bathed skin. A shiver rolled down his spine as Sam took a deep inhale, relaxing into the breeze that dried the cold water droplets on his bare body. Excitement danced through his veins at the scent of cloves, cinnamon, and pine that drifted out from the depths of the pitch-black, welcoming him.
Sam smiled, calming his excitement at the scents that were deeply intertwined with his god and his faith. A fire lit in his stomach and beneath his feet at the prospect of seeing his god once more, urging him forward. Sam's hazel eyes stared into the darkness and widened when the sudden bright orange and yellow glow lit from within the abyss. Sam sucked in a hard breath as he passed through the void moving without pause towards the firelight dancing in its depths. Sam walked deeper into the darkness, drawn to the fire that danced along the painted stone walls which depicted the thousands of tales of their god throughout time.
When he had received the invitation to return to Loki a year after his joining ceremony, Sam had been overwhelmed with disbelief. He had never heard of anyone being summoned twice to worship their god in his oldest Earthly home, especially at the invitation of the god of mischief himself. Most followers only laid eyes on Loki and felt the hands of their god made flesh but once in their lives. Sam had never expected to have Loki's favor nor feel the same pleasure of being in Loki's presence and serving him once more.
Sam's eyes coasted over the carefully hollowed-out stone, his fingers trailing along with the more recent markings as he walked closer to the bright warm glow of the fire. Sam tilted his head, smiling as the spiced smell of cinnamon and cloves grew stronger the closer he came to the heart of the temple. Sam paused, his feet hesitating at the soft feeling of moss under the soles of feet. His toes wiggled slightly against it, letting it cool his heated flesh as he entered the altar room.
I was hoping to have my Yuletide fic done for the first day of Yule but it will be written! I love Yuletide and finding a way to make one with Sabriel has made me ecstatic.
Summary: Sam knelt in the circle set up for summoning.
“You boys sure about this.” Bobby asked, worriedly.
“Yes.” Sam shared a determined look with Dean. “We need him.”
Dean stared back before saying the incantation.
Dean, Sam and Bobby summoned Loki to make a deal. His help for Sam. Anything was better than having Sam say yes and jump into the cage.

“Yes.” Sam shared a determined look with Dean. “We need him.”
Dean stared back before saying the incantation. Dean finished the last word and there was a loud shrieking noise.
Dean, Sam, and Bobby clamped their hands over their ears. The noise died down and Gabriel sat, lounging upon a throne that appeared out of nowhere.
“Who dares… Oh. It’s you three.” Gabriel sighed. “What do you muttonheads want this time? I already gave you the answer to your little problem.”
“Gabriel-” Dean began.
“Nuh-uh.” Gabriel wagged a finger at him. “It’s Loki. You called on Gabriel’s pagan side so you get Loki. Not Gabriel.”
“Loki,” Sam spoke strongly. He scooted closer. “We need your help. I offer you myself in return. Do with me as you wish.” Sam bowed his head.
“Huh.” Loki sat back in his throne in shock. “You two are okay with this?” Loki directed his question to Dean and Bobby.
“We need all the help we can get. This was Sam’s idea.” Bobby shrugged.
“We have all the rings. We need your help to get the devil back in his cage.” Dean put forth. “Sam agreed to three nights-”
“No, no, no. That’s not how this works.” Loki tsked. “The way you set this up was an open-ended sacrifice. Sam is mine for however long I wish.”
Dean stared shocked at Sam. “You did this. You are the one who set this up.”
Sam raised his head and stared defiantly at the god. “I did. I knew it would take something huge to get him to help. It’s fine Dean.”
Loki sat back and watched their argument with glee. “Okay! Enough!” Loki snapped and Dean and Sam were separated.“Here’s the deal. I will help you put Lucifer away and Sam is mine for hmmm, one year. After that year he is free to leave if he wishes.”
“And that is one human earth year?” Bobby clarified.
“Yes.” Loki sat back in his chair.
Dean stared down Sam. “Will I be able to see him?”
“After six months, yes.” Loki agreed.
Dean looked up at the god. “Deal.”
“Excellent. What’s the plan boys?” Loki snapped. His chair and the summoning stuff vanished.
“Sam was going to say yes and-” Dean began.
“No.” Loki snarled. “Sam is now mine and he won’t be saying yes to anyone but me.”
“Well, do you have a better one?” Bobby demanded.
“Let me make a few calls.” Loki thought for a moment.
Sam, Dean, and Bobby began walking away.
“Hold it!” Loki called. “Our deal is not sealed.” Loki snapped and was in front of Sam. Before he could react, Loki grabbed a handful of his hair and yanked him down into a kiss that was all teeth and tongue. Loki pulled back after a minute.
“Dude! Right here!” Dean complained.
“That’s not how a pagan deal is sealed. That’s how demon deals are sealed.” Bobby pointed out.
“Oh, I know. I just wanted a kiss.” Loki held up his bloody hand. “Our blood seals the deal.”
Sam looked down at his arm that was smeared with blood.
Loki snapped. The blood disappeared. “Now, where are we headed, boys?
”************
Sam stared at the pagan/archangel that he now belongs to for a year. He was talking animatedly on his cell phone. He grinned and hung up.
“Good news! My kids are gonna help plus Anansi, Hermes and Coyote owe me a favor so they will help too. That gives us six other people to help.” Loki smirked.
“Anansi? I thought a fellow hunter killed him a few years earlier.” Bobby looked curious.
“How can six pagans help us? Lucifer tore through those other SOB’s at that hotel.” Dean looked over at Loki.
“That’s because these pagans are different. More powerful.” Loki sneered at Dean.
“How?” Sam was curious.
Loki’s smile seemed to gentle at Sam. “I made the trickster gods. They are mine. I am the first trickster. Plus, my kids. Do they need any more introduction?”
“Narfi, Fenrir, Jormungandr, and Hel?” Sam listed off.
Loki beamed. “Yep. My kids.”
“How are they going to help? What’s the plan?”
Sam did most of the talking to Loki after that.
***********
That night, Loki snapped off with a kiss to Sam and a warning to Dean and Bobby.
Sam sat at the table with a beer in his hand.
“Did you know?” Dean demanded as he sat next to Sam.
“Yup.” Sam took a sip from his bottle.
“Damn it Sam! We agreed to no more secrets!” Dean yelled.
Sam looked up at his big brother. “It was the price for his help. It’s June now? I’ll see you at Christmas.” Sam softened at his brother’s distress. “Dean. I’ll be alright. If he hurts me I will kick his ass. Stakes may not kill him but I doubt they are comfortable.”
Dean smiled a tiny grin. “Give me a few days. I will have something for you.”
“Okay. Dean? I’ll be fine. Trust me.” Sam held Dean’s green-eyed gaze. “I know I haven’t earned it in the past but I swear, I’ll be alright. It’s Gabriel.”
“And Loki.” Dean reminded. “That’s just weird man.” He shivered.
“Not really.” Sam shrugged. “Think of it as multiple personalities, but instead of several, he has two. Neither seems to want me hurt if his reaction and threat tonight was any indication.”
Dean wrinkled his nose. “Okay. If you’re sure.”
“I’m sure. You have Cas. You’ll be fine.” Sam assured.
Dean blushed. “What does that have to do with anything?”
Sam sighed. “You will work it out eventually. Just promise me something?”
“What Sammy?” Dean spoke softly.
“Don’t die while I’m away. If you get in trouble call Cas at least.” Sam pleaded with his eyes.
“I promise Sam.” Dean clapped his hands. “Let’s get some sleep. We have a big day ahead of us.”
Sam downed the last of his beer before climbing up the stairs.
Dean settled on Bobby’s porch with a wooden branch. He spent all night working on whittling it to a point and carving the words he wanted into the handle.
“LOKI’S TIMEOUT STICK”
When he gave it to Sam the next morning, Dean smiled at the laugh on his little brother’s face. He may not know what will happen but Loki had their backs sort of. Sam was the god’s and they made a deal.
Dean prayed that everything would go their way tomorrow. After all, they made a deal with a pagan.
Did they get along? Did Thor see him as an adopted brother? Did he ever find out about Gabriel's past or that he died? Did he remind Gabriel of one of his brothers?
