Omg wow, first time ever I actually felt the need to make a masterpost for one of my fics. *puffs out chest*
This fic was actually born from a weird merging of several smaller ideas. At first it was just a random cutesy AU based on how Gabriel would be the classic busy business man and Sam would be his dishy young dog walker. But then it was so simple to add
my an age difference kink, and along the way suddenly an older guilt trip bunny decided it wanted in on the fun.
I would also like to add that I hadn't even planned for Balthazar to be in this fic, but he wouldn't take no for an answer. And then ended up more or less saving the day. Who would have thought...
Another funny fact is that this fic has no Dean/Castiel what so ever. Not even as a secondary pairing. However, for those who are saddened by this, I can inform that I have some Dean/Cas timestamps in the works, and some of them might end up being an actual sequel.
Truly, if you reach the end of this fic and feel hungry for more, just stick around. Evidently several months of this verse was not enough for my brain. And OMG it's an actual verse now! I even made a tag for it! Holy crap!
People who deserve love, cookies and confetti for listening to me whining endlessly over how I would never finish or how I got stuck:
