- Altered state stuff (i.e. the person is hallucinating but won't admit it/tries to act normal. In general, trying to act normal works for me)
You know, when I was thinking of altered states I was mostly thinking of dazed/confused but not outright hallucinating. But now I really want more of that -- the character not sure what parts of their environment are real and what's not, but someone else's voice being a lifeline for them ... yessss.
- Recovery from noncon (mostly emotional)
This is one that feels so indulgent/OTT that I've never actually written it (I don't think? I will probably think of 5 examples in the next 10 minutes XD) but I like fantasizing about it. Just ... being reassured that they're still loved and it's not their fault and they didn't do anything wrong, and someone being there for them through nightmares and listening if they want to talk ... DO WANT.
