Hey there, Ace! Do you know of any movie/TV scenes where a character is crying so hard they are borderline hyperventilating? X
I WISH I HAD MORE!! It’s one of my favorite fanfic tropes and it so rarely happens in tv. I love a good hard sob. But most crying scenes don’t get to the hyperventilating part. That does happen in panic attack scenes though. Anyways, these are the closest I can think of:
hello! this is a fic for episode 4x10 fugue in red where jane drowns and then forgets about his family entirely. i thought the entire thing was so fascinating and painful and i wish we could’ve seen his actual reaction so this is that. hope you like!!

Bottom line is, even if you see ‘em comin’, you’re not ready for the big moments. No one asks for their life to change, not really. But it does. ↳Buffy the Vampire Slayer & ANGEL
When character A has a nightmare and wakes up crying, trying and failing to stifle there tears.
Character B wakes up and is confused, and annoyed about having been woken up. But immediately turn soft and caring when they see character A shacking and sobbing. Comforting them back to sleep.
