Fics like Of Blood and Teeth

Childhood fears are weird. And embarrassing. You’re supposed to grow out of them, right? Charles wishes he did. When Charles was ten years old, he was the victim of a vicious dog attack, and he still has the scars. The nightmares have mostly stopped, and so have the spells of panic and anxiety. Mostly. But still, maybe he should’ve seen someone about it as a child, because he still gets freaked out in the presence of a dog, particularly bigger ones. His breath still gets shallow, and his hands still shake. But dogs are easy enough to avoid, right? It’s fine, he’ll be fine. The problem arises on a mission when they run into a truck inspection that they weren’t prepared for. Now there’s a big dog who just so happens to sniff through Charles’ mental control and climbs into the truck WITH THEM, and oh shit, Charles wasn’t expecting to have to fight off a panic attack surrounded by professional military men and Erik Lehnsherr. —— A fanfic in which I take the deleted scene in First Class where the dog climbs into the truck to bark at them and write an alternate version of it where Charles has a phobia of dogs and it sets him off. —— (now has a 34k+ word sequel!)
