Title: A momentary lapse of reason
Recipient: themegalosaurus
Beta: You know who you are! Thank you as always
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: ~3,700
Warnings: cynophobia, references to death and violence as depicted by Show
Prompt: Although I realise that it was just the prelude to 40 years in Hell, and Sam's love for dogs is well-established in canon, it seems to me like Dean getting ripped apart by hellhounds might be quite a traumatic experience (if not for him then for Sam, watching him). Can you write a fic where Sam or Dean (or both I guess but I like hurt/comfort and if they're both going to pieces, I'm not sure how that would work) develops a fear of dogs as a result? You could link it to Yellow Fever (where Dean is afraid of that tiny little dog) but I'm not fussy: any time post-S3 finale. I'm a big Sam girl so nothing where Sam is horrible!


A/N: This story also fills the ‘phobias’ square on my H/C bingo card…


Summary: “As soon as he shuts the motel door, Dean sags against it. It’s ridiculous that after everything he endured in Hell, after everything he did, that he’s losing his shit over a goddamn dog.
