What???? Sam/Gabriel is icky madness, not to mention ugly!!!! Sam/Cas is full of angsty goodness, and not bad-looking to boot! I've read wonderful Sam/Cas stories! Of course, Dean is always kind of the center around which they gravitate but still—good, I tell you!

I read a wonderful human AU with Sam and Cas, and from there it kind of snowballed. But you know me, I like my men tall, dark, and suffering horribly deep in their souls. :)
