Gifset + Fic: Fallen To Rise, Team Lucifer/Sam
Summary: With Lucifer free, the Boy King is on the run from the Host of Heaven, until the call goes out that the Morningstar has returned and is planning on going home.
Characters: Sam, Lucifer, Castiel, Uriel, Anna, Gabriel, Balthazar, Inias
Pairings: Lucifer/Sam
Tags: None
It had been an ambush, set up by Heaven all along. They wanted the Boy King, and they wanted Lucifer free from his cage. But they had no intention of bringing the two together or letting either of them survive. Sam had been all but blinded by Lucifer’s light, and it had been Castiel and Uriel’s quick thinking that had saved all three of them.
Sam loosens his tie and sighs. He feels overdressed, but there will be no returning for clothes. There is no going back at all now. He is exhausted, edgy, and desperate for a fix.
Worse than all these things, he is alone. Castiel had told him that he and Uriel had business to attend to, and that he would be safe waiting for them here. He has been denied his union with his other half, and he feels emptier than ever.
“Here” is an abandoned barn with a dirt floor and a musty smell. Sam scuffs at the ground and shuffles, filled with nervous energy despite his lack of sleep and dread of having failed the most important duty he has ever known.
The temperature drops suddenly. It’s so cold that Sam can see his breath.
“It’s good to see you, Sam.” The voice comes from behind him, and Sam whirls around.
Even in another vessel, there is no mistaking Lucifer. Sam feels a pang of regret that he had been forced to abandon his angel when he needed him most, but now Lucifer is before him, and his gaze softens when he looks at Sam.
“I’m sorry,” Sam starts. “We were ambushed. I had no idea.”
Lucifer smiles softly and shakes his head, reaching out to brush his hands along Sam’s upper arms as if he’s not sure Sam is real. Sam leans into the touch. He is elated; his heart swells to see the affection in Lucifer’s eyes, but he is also worried. Their plan lies in ruins at their feet.
There is a flutter of wings, and Castiel and Uriel appear behind Lucifer. They are unharmed and look exhilarated.
“There are too many, and I’m not ready,” Sam continues. “We don’t stand a chance.”
Lucifer smiles as Castiel and Uriel come to stand beside him.
“Have a little faith, Sam,” he says gently. “We haven’t lost yet.” Lucifer turns to face Castiel. “Has the call gone out?”
Castiel nods, his eyes wide with excitement. “They’ll be here soon.”
Sam jumps at the flutter of wings. Anna is standing just inside the barn doors. Sam backs away, looking for a weapon, but Uriel walks forward and shakes her hand. Castiel embraces her like an old friend, smilingly warmly and gesturing for her to come inside.
More angels arrive, none that Sam recognizes. He’s speechless when the trickster he and Dean had killed appears. He makes an entrance with his blade drawn, looking deadly serious until he sees Castiel and Anna. Then his face erupts into a grin and he laughs, clapping Castiel on the back and swinging Anna around when he hugs her.
He and Lucifer size each other up for a moment before striding forward and wrapping their arms around one another. Sam can’t help but think of Dean.
“Gabriel,” Lucifer says when he pulls back. “It’s been too long.”
“I wouldn’t have missed this for the world, brother,” he replies with the flash of a smile.
The slender man with the quick grin and British accent is called Balthazar. He brings a young man with him that Castiel rushes forward to greet as Inias. They mingle, smiling and chatting, while Sam and Lucifer hang back.
For all that this feels like a celebration or pre-battle rally, Sam feels deeply uncertain. He had trusted the Host when they’d told him that freeing Lucifer was what they wanted. He’d barely escaped with his life, and his army had fled when the light of Heaven had shown down on them.
Lucifer turns to look at Sam, and the love and pride Sam sees there gives him confidence. He smiles nervously.
“I don’t understand. Where did they all come from?” he asks, incredulous.
Lucifer watches them for a moment more. “They’ve been waiting for us.” He takes Sam’s hand. “Now that you freed me, we can begin our work.”
“Your work?” Sam asks. “You mean battle against Michael, the Apocalypse.”
“No, Sam,” he says, turning to cup his true vessel’s face in his hands. “We’re going home.”
At mention of this, the other angels go quiet and turn to listen to Lucifer. Anna is beaming.
“Home? As in –“
“We’re going to win back Heaven.”
The other angels are giddy, but Lucifer is composed and calm.
“Heaven?” Sam laughs. Lucifer can’t be serious, but the other angels are nodding, their faces turning dark and determined. “You’re out of your minds.”
“I’ve had a lot of time to think about what I want, Sam. There is a power in free will that my brothers and sisters have never known. With our Father gone, we can show them how to use it, but first we have to drive out the single-minded faction that feels the need to carry out the orders of a leader who left long ago.”
“It’s time for a new order upstairs,” Gabriel continues. Sam glares at him, still wary since their last meeting, which he seems to have all but forgotten. “We want to go home. For some of us,” he turns to nod towards Anna, “it’s been a long time. But we waited, because we knew Lucifer would lead us back.”
Sam takes them in. They are not many, but they’re filled with love and an infectious sense of purpose that Sam can’t help but get caught up in.
“Right. Okay. Back to Heaven.” He smiles at Lucifer. “Where do we start?”

The gifmaker is alwaysenduphere and the writer is me, suchanadorer. Both of the links are to our tumblrs. We made DW accounts primarily for this challenge, and the entry has now been crossposted to tumblr here!
For my part, I do all my fangirling over on tumblr, so I would rather the link go there so that people can find me if they want. I would imagine alwaysenduphere feels the same way since she doesn't have an LJ or use her DW for anything. :)
Thanks again!
