SUBMERGED - A CATATONIC!DEAN FIC
Oct. 25th, 2013 08:13 pmHey! Okay, a bit nervous since I am usually just a lurker, but here goes. This is a slightly tweaked version of my fill for this prompt in the meme by
i_speak_tongue:
"He's in the middle of doing something totally mundane, like laundry or eating breakfast or getting gas, and Dean just stops. Stops moving, responding, talking. He goes catatonic, and Sam isn't around. Townsfolk are confused/mean/worried/helpful and someone finally uses Dean's phone to contact Sam, who is there in a heartbeat."
Hope I got the posting rules right. Let's give it a try:
Title: Submerged
Author: ever_dimming
Rating: Not familiar enough with the ratings system, sorry; see warnings.
Genre: Gen, outsider POV
Characters: Dean, Sam, OC
Word Count: ~4,500 (Yikes).
Warnings: Language, PTSD and its related, disturbing themes, and implied past horrors suffered in hell. Dean's catatonia here has some similarities to post traumatic dissociation, so please, steer clear if you are potentially sensitive to that kind of material.
Disclaimer: Supernatural, its characters, plot lines etc. belong to their awesome creators. I am only suggesting fun new ways in which those beloved characters could suffer even more.
He's not moving, nor is he turning around at the sound of her voice. Maybe he can't hear me, she thinks suddenly, feeling stupid for not having considered the possibility sooner. She takes a couple of steps to enter his field of vision before she tries again.
"Um, sir, are you done with - - "
This time she doesn't finish the sentence, because she can see his face.
