I figured it wouldn't take long to find the first new fic with a fear of heights mentioned, although I hope they'll be less prevalent now that he's cherry-picked without trauma. But I just saw this on deancastiel:
The wheel stops with a lurch when they’re on the top, and Dean reflexively grips the edge of the seat, knuckles turning white, and he closes his eyes to breathe. He really wishes they didn’t have to have this conversation on top of a Ferris wheel of all fucking places, as if he doesn’t feel sick enough.
And this person definitely draws the line from fear of flying to fear of heights in general.
Oh, hey, that EW page lists a big spoiler for the back end of the season in a headline linked at the bottom of the page. So--it's too late now, but don't look if you don't want to know more and more.
You were watching the clip again, weren't you? Don't deny it.
She totally was. And WHO CAN BLAME HER??? I will totally brave all spoilers to re-watch it. Again. And again.
Research, you say? I take that to mean you're preparing to undertake some fan art.
DO NOT TELL ME I'M WRONG.
::phasers set to distract::
Okay, why did I watch this? Physiologically, it affects me. I can't breathe properly.
Is that thing that Sam knew about whatsisname's piece of clothing true? Either way, how is Dean not looking at him really funny right now?
