Pretty sure it would emotionally destroy me to write a fic like this but I have come up with too many ideas to not write something down. Do with these as you wish, if you do use any of them I’d love to know!! :)
Events/things that I think would trigger Simon’s trauma/ptsd (most likely leading to some sort of panic attack)
-tries to take a warm shower and the hot water reminds him of the blood
-accidentally bites his tongue/cheek while chewing and tastes the blood in his mouth
-In a dark room and the light flashes on (reminds him of the x ray pictures)
-Objects that he had and used in the submarine (tape, rubbing alcohol, fire extinguisher, flashlights, life jackets, etc..)
-Looking in mirrors and seeing the scars on his face/body
-Darkness in general, seeing things in it, especially if there is stuff that resembles faces/people (extra on this is that he sleeps with a night light now)
-Hearing a voice and not directly looking at the person
-Smells like iron, gas leaks, hot humidity in air (that’s more of a feeling), and metal
