a concept I really like for bloodymary is that they both have horrible night terrors, and neither knows how to comfort the other

Grace is having a night terror? Simon's like, "I should make sure he doesn't hurt himself" and tries to pin him in place so he stops thrashing, meanwhile in the dream Grace is reliving being tackled and drugged and now he can't move.

Simon's having a night terror? Grace's like, "I should give him some space because he told me how suffocating that sub was" and just anxiously waits for Simon to wake up, meanwhile in the dream Simon is reliving the Iron lung and how he couldn't feel anything except for the blood and the metal and the clothes on his back and he needs to feel a person.

hello!! i hope you’re doing alright. if it’s not too much trouble, could i request how the bad sanses/sanses in general would comfort an s/o that frequently wakes up with big waves of anxiety? it’s something i struggle with and reading something with my faves would be an awesome comfort read. 🫶

Hi! 👋

Nightmare 

Midnight snack?

He kind of just siphons your anxiety as you sleep, so you never really wake up in the first place.

If this method fails, or he happens to be away when you fell asleep, he’ll try the old fashioned method of warm tea and cuddles. It seems to be effective so he applies it to a lot of matters involving your distress

Killer

May I offer you a ✨cat✨ in these stressful times?

That’s his move. It’s about all he’s got for stress/fear without a root cause 

He unfortunately tends to react to your anxiety with increased stress on his part, so he defers to the traditional method of two-purring-creatures-for-good-health (he’s the second creature)

Dust

He’s not great with words, but he’s decent at leading you through breathing exercises 

If you need something, he can probably get it (depending on how tired he is). Otherwise he just tries to help you fall back to sleep 

If you can’t get back to sleep, he turns on the tv for you and falls asleep in your lap 

Horror 

With the amount of effort it usually takes to wake him, you wouldn’t think going for a glass of water after a night terror would do it, and yet you turn around from the sink to find him looming in the doorway

Once you’re done, he rubs your back and purrs in an attempt to help you get back to sleep

Cross

Hot chocolate at the ready! And cuddles 

He has a similar problem, though it mostly falls under general paranoia rather than night terrors, so he is more than emphatic to your plight 

Error

…another blanket? 

He’s struggling 

At best, he offers to watch tv with you, offers you some chocolate, and/or shoves another stuffed animal into your arms
