Lucifer: 

A crisp winter morning

The way the sun reflects on freshly lain snow

A cool cloth on feverish skin 

Running your fingers over a frost covered surface

The satisfying crunch of snow underfoot

A chill down your spine

Dread that settles heavy in your gut

Prickling goosebumps along your skin

Shattered glass embedding in your skin 

A bitter cold that seeps into your bones 

Gabriel: 

The warmth that settles in your chest seeing the people you love laugh

Playing in the grass in the summer

Childhood mischievousness 

Sun dappled breezy fields 

The warm buzzing under your skin when you blush

The rich warm glows of golden hour sunlight

Seeing a magic trick for the first time as a child

Heat wave visual distortion

The creeping heat of humiliating embarrassment

The uncomfortable warmth of a too humid room with no ac

Pins and needles

The rush of heat you get from opening an oven

The burning under your skin from being in the sun too long 

Castiel: 

A gentle thrumming

Comforting white noise 

Rain on a car window that sends you to sleep on a long drive

Evening dew glistening on a spiders web

The gentle dripping of water from stalactites onto the floor of a cave

Ripples in a moonlit pond

A high pitched noise that’s barely in the register of your hearing but enough to give you a headache

The feeling of hail on bare skin 

The grating of grinding teeth

Nails on a chalkboard

Standing under cold running water for too long 

Michael: 

The approving gaze of an authority figure

A gentle but firm hand on your shoulder

Light filtering through stained glass windows

Pristine dove feathers 

Rosary beads gently rolling against one another during prayer

The awe of stepping into a cathedral for the first time 

Someone’s watching you when you’re all alone

An unpleasant pressure in your chest, like something is sat on it

Shrinking in on yourself, belittled. 

The weight of perceived and real failures crushing you

Stepping into holy ground where you know you don’t belong

Something liminal and clinical like the smell of a morgue or empty surgery suite 

Raphael: 

Touching a plasma ball 

The fizzling crackle and pop from sparklers

The taste of ozone, charged air

The buzzing of electric pylons

Lichtenberg figures tracing energy along your skin

A static shock

the clap of thunder overhead 

A harsh wind blowing through 

The churning of the ocean during a storm 

The dissonance of staring into the eye of a hurricane
