Summary
The details are trivial as that case is closed but THE CASE OF HIS HANDKERCHIEF is still open in your mind palace. The handkerchief was red and it hung out of his back pocket. When you asked him about it his entire demeanor changed. He had been open and seemingly honest for all your crime scene questions but the handkerchief got under his skin.
ELECTROCHEMISTRY: It’s a weird sex thing.
ENCYCLOPEDIA: It is indeed a weird sex thing.
Weird sex things appealed to you.
“Weird sex things appeal to me.” You had said. Stupidly.

When There's Lightning (you know, it always brings me down) by GhostInTheBAU

Summary
He can’t breathe.
The tail yanks, and suddenly his back is slamming into the hard ground, the impact detonating every wound. He feels it all, and it’s agony. Ripping, shredding. The worst pain he’s ever known.
His heart stutters and kicks in his chest as his mind screams at him to get back up, to run, to do anything to survive; but he can’t. He’s pinned down, spread eagle on the dead ground, a storm of wings and teeth closing in.
Red lightning flashes above him, bathing everything in crimson, reminding him that he is in literal Hell.
He’s being eaten alive, and all he can think as the pain starts to blur is, I’m not ready.
Please. Not like this. Not now.
Please.
And then, from somewhere above all the madness that has become Eddie’s entire existence, a shape plunges into the wild fray. A human shape. An avenging angel, wielding a weathered baseball bat filled with bloody nails like it's a prayer in the dark.
An answer to his silent plea.
Steve.
OR:
Eddie Munson survives the bats.
Steve Harrington helps him learn to live again.

Summary
By now, Gabriel’s pretty sure that he’s got Sam Winchester pinned down. Codependent brother issues, unstoppable yearning for a normal life, his habits of evading Apocalypses and somehow drawing reluctant monsters onto his side, Gabriel included⎯The point is, Gabriel had been certain Sam couldn’t surprise him anymore.
At least, not until he saw some very distinct handkerchiefs in Sam’s pocket and realised that the man was flagging.

Summary
So. There’d be no, like, veneer to it, sex with Steve; if Steve hurt him, it’d be with the transparent acknowledgment that that was the point, that Eddie wanted him to, no layers of setup or characterization to give any distance. Which is honestly so fucking vulnerable, in a way that’s hard to think about sometimes, but fuck if it doesn’t make Eddie’s toes curl.
(Can be read as a stand-alone.)

Summary
----
If Crowley knew one thing, it was that he was absolutely fucked.
Or, rather, the man kneeling in front of him was.
He knew what he’d be getting himself into when he tied that light blue handkerchief around his left belt loop, but he didn’t care at the time. Now that he was behind the venue where his band had just finished performing… he did kind of care. Just a bit.
----
In which Crowley is the member of a goth band during the foundational period of goth culture and Aziraphale is a record shop employee who works nights.

Cruising
Basic Instructions on How to Ride a Motorcycle:
1. Rev the engine, get it hot and ready.
2. Roam around at a slow speed, make sure you're comfortable before accelerating.
3. Ride at speed, cruise around, don't forget to enjoy yourself.
4. Wreck your bike and regret ever touching the fucking thing. At least you lived to tell the tale... right?
5. Rally yourself, brush off the grit and grime to get up and go again. You're still in one piece. You have to try again.- Words:

Summary
“Look, I’m just asking, okay? Not– I don't mean anything by it. But, uh.” His eyes darted back and forth, then he leaned in close to Steve. Steve had gotten used to that, kind of. The guy had no concept of personal space. “Are you flagging?” Eddie finally finished.
Steve shook his head slowly, eyes narrowed. He had no idea what that meant. He had no answer. “What?”
Eddie leaned away from Steve, facing forward again and nodding. “Okay, got it. That answers my question. Carry on.”
-------------------------------------------------
A (mostly) innocent question leads Steve Harrington on a journey of self-discovery, friendship, sex, and romance.

Summary
Ghost’s chuckle in response was telling, lacking any distinct warmth. “Not quite. As much as I appreciate you fixing my dress shoes, what I really want is a bit more… intimate. It means something different to me.”
“Intimate how?” The way he bites his lip and looks up pleading for more context should be illegal. It’s downright unfair how pretty he looks in this vulnerable liminal space.
“You were raised Catholic, weren’t you?” Soap’s not expecting a question in response to his own, let alone one so out of left field, and Ghost can sense the indignation forming on his lips before he even responds, so he moves before the bratting can begin in earnest. A firm hand pushes down on Soap’s shoulder and despite his confusion he allows it to lead him down onto his knees. Ghost doesn’t remove the hand, but does lift one boot and rests it on Soap’s firm thigh. “It's worship, Johnny.”
________________Or, the one where Soap accidentally stumbles into Ghost's leather fetish and gets in a bit over his head.

Summary
Jackson Healy was never one for confronting his emotions, especially not with the way he was raised.
His internalized fear of becoming himself was hard enough before he sucker punched his way into the orbit of one Holland March. It became worse yet when what was supposed to be meaningless sex became something he couldn't ignore any longer.
