As for the "yes means yes" thing -- Yeah I'm guilty of that. I kinda assumed that when planning out my season nine and completely blanked on the whole Jimmy had to say yes again thing. After that episode though, I have to decide whether I'm going to try to explain it away, or just go ahead with my faulty assumption. Bleh.
I'd stick with your plan. It's an AU so you can make up your own rules, and I doubt the fact that you have to get consent every time is going to be a major plot point in the show.
Another idea I've seen floated around is that Gadreel is playing Metatron and is planning hijinks with Lucifer somehow, and he might once again let Luci into the garden (so to speak). He might have thought he could pull the Dean trick again to get Sam to say yes. (But then, Lucifer could have done that himself...) Maybe there's something in Lucifer's vessel that can get him out of the Cage?
I'd really like it if Gadreel had some Lucifer-related reason for hanging onto Sam. Adding that to my wish list. And I don't think you jinxed it, because others agreed that we wanted those things to happen that I wished for earlier, so you're actually helping! :-)
