Terriers
by Oshii
"[A] rough cough echoed off the porcelain, and, abruptly, most of a fifth of rotgut whiskey surged up in an unmistakable, graphic heave, splashing audibly into the toilet with what sounded like enough force to splatter the surrounding porcelain. Hank cringed, grimaced, turned his head as if to hide from the sounds. He knew all too well the demons Britt wrestled, and how it felt to cling to the rails of that shame-and-vertigo-fueled Hell Express.
“Shit, kid,” he muttered, sighing in absolute resignation and more than a little sympathy. Hands clapped on denim knees, aching joints popped in ferocious disagreement of motion, and Hank stood up to make his way across the hall and into the bathroom, accepting his roles as sponsor, priest, and hair-holder."
Deleted scene that takes place between flashbacks in 1x11, "Sins of the Past". H/C, man tears, back rubbing, consoling!Hank, heartbroken Britt. Basically, the hug but taken a step further. My heart hurt so bad this episode, for everybody involved. Man, I just wanted them to be happy. :(
