FIC REC: Make 'Em Run by @leatafandom / @leatawrites
Summary: It was his job, so what if he took a little extra pleasure in what he did. [SPN Archangel Week October 2025]
I used to read a lot of Goosebumps books as a kid - God knows WHY since they would scare the shit out of me and I would have nightmares for weeks. But I think there's something so haunting in the best possible way of reading a horror/psychological terror about people getting their just desserts. "Bad people deserve fear" vibes. I COMPLETELY got that exact same hair-raising Goosebumps thrill from Leata's Make 'Em Run. Brrrr. Nostalgia.
I LOVE anytime that Leata writes Gabriel - she just GETS that character in a way that I don't see often, and it's amazing to see how she somehow distills centuries of a character into a few thousand words.
A super fun (horrific?) Trickster-Gabriel fic where I really wasn't sure which way the ending was going to go - but it was perfect as always, because Leata is perfect as always. (Squeak squeak.)
(Also I could read Leata's descriptions forEVER, especially how she uses LIGHT. UGH, I love so much.)
