Imma loop “how to save a life” by The Fray while VERY DRUNK and recovering from VERY SERIOUS LIFE TALKS WITH MY FATHER about the fact my life is in CRISIS RIGHT NOW try to write the next chapter of the Kidnapping AU while also PROCESSING LOVELY THINGS people have said about ch. 3 while casually weeping into the soda water i’m drinking to attempt to sober up and this is why I rarely post about IRL things on my blog guys this is it, this is what i’m protecting you from

Headcanon or prompt that Newt is planning on proposing to Hermann but keeps getting cold feet and one time when he’s drunk he keeps referring to Hermann as his husband.

anon this message was so cute it shook me to the core and i spent all night thinking about it and talking abt it with friends on twitter…..your mind…..your genius….heres some VERY SAPPY proposal fic because *chefs kiss*

“I don’t know why you wanted to go out together if you were just going to immediately drink yourself silly,” Hermann says, crossly. “You’re not exactly stimulating company right now.” Next to him, Newton sways in his seat, hand still clasped around his pint of lukewarm, overpriced beer. Hermann can’t remember which one Newton’s on. He knows that he’s still on his first.

“I didn’t drink myself silly,” Newton says. He sways again, nearly knocking the beer over into Hermann’s lap, but Hermann’s reflexes–honed from years of batting away bits of sterilized kaiju Newton would throw at him in the lab–are fast enough that he’s able to catch it without causalities. Newton winces, then looks at Hermann. “Oh, God, I did, didn’t I? I was just so nervous, and…” He slumps sadly in his seat.

He looks pitiful enough that Hermann can’t be mad at him, though he can’t figure out for the life of him what Newton means by being nervous. It’s just dinner. Their usual once-a-month night out. The establishment is far nicer than where they usually go, so perhaps that’s what Newton means. Hermann slides Newton his own glass of water. “Here, love,” he says, soothingly, “drink, or you’ll have a nasty hangover.”

“Isn’t it one am there?” Newton says. “You should be asleep, dude!” Their connection is poor–Newton’s mouth continues to move a half-second after he finishes speaking and the picture is grainy, but not so much that Hermann can’t make Newton out. Grey t-shirt, messy hair, stubble, glasses reflecting the blue of his computer screen. And a smile. A lovely smile.

“It’s barely midnight,” Hermann says. He’s smiling, too. It’s amazing how giddy Newton makes him feel–how a simple letter, how the simple sight of him can improve even the bleakest of days. “I’m fine. Really.”  He wouldn’t miss this for anything.

Newton adjusts his glasses and runs his hand through his hair. Hermann gets a flash of a strong, tattooed arm. (Newton’s eventual goal, Hermann knows, is for a full sleeve, maybe two.) “Sorry I was so late tonight,” he says. Hermann waves him off. It’s hardly the first time either of them have been late for their weekly Skype call, and it’ll hardly be the last, and Newton’s already explained himself over text anyway. “Finals. I had to extend my office hours.”

Summary:

One year after Newt abandoned Hermann to work for Shao Industries, Hermann decides to confront his ex-fiancé. Not with any intention of trying to win Newton back, of course, but only to gain some kind of closure, some answers for why he vanished so suddenly and avoided even speaking to Hermann ever since.

Except when Hermann confronts Newt in his home, he learns that Newt is under the control of the Precursors, and that they have every intention of killing Hermann to keep their secret. Newt strikes a desperate bargain to save Hermann’s life, which the Precursors accept with the condition of Newt’s good behavior, and that Hermann can never be allowed free again.

Now a prisoner, it is up to Hermann to try to free them both, while keeping the secret of his plan to do so from the man who knows him best in the world.

WHEW I CAN’T BELIEVE IT’S FINALLY DONE! Special thanks to Sansael for the beta assist, and all the wonderful encouragement! I hit a road block for this chapter made up of realizing JUST HOW COMPLEX the situation really was, and that took a while to work out and about three separate drafts. Later chapters shouldn’t take NEARLY as long to get out. I hope you enjoy!
