300 words or less: Any chance you'd do âShh, youâre safe now" for Frey, Zev and Thal (if @crashed-down-in-a-hurricane would also be ok with it, of course)?
Of course! And donât worry. @crashed-down-in-a-hurricane loves our three boys just as much. <3 (168 words)
Zevran is drenched in sweat when he sits up suddenly. His breathing goes fast, too fast and he canât get enough air into his lungs. It starts to hurt and his eyes water. The terror of the dream lingers on his skin, in his mind, in his heart, and he canât shake it off. He starts shaking. The blanket slips from his grip.Â
He startles when warm hands run over his upperarms and a lean body appears behind him. At he same time his hands are caught in a gentle grip that grounds him.Â
âEverything is okay, Zev,â Thalâs voice is low and soothing. âJust breathe with me. Focuse on my breathing and follow me.â He tries to do so but it is hard. Panic tries to keep a hold of him but it slips away. Slowly but surely it vanishes.
âShhh, youâre safe now,â Frey murmurs from behind him. They hold him close, keep him secure between their bodies until the last remnants of the nightmare flee.
