Summary:The invasion of the Anteverse was successful, and the Precursors have been destroyed, but Newt still hasn’t awoken from his coma and doesn’t respond initially to Drift attempts from Hermann to wake him.
But when one day a connection is established, Hermann and Newt find themselves in a mingled mindscape that seems informed by Dante’s “Inferno”. Together, they pass through the Nine Circles, nine memories of Newt’s years under Precursor control in the hopes it will help free Newt from his own head.
Yet questions linger: how much did the Precursors take from Newt, to what lengths will Hermann go to free him, and is the other even truly there, or merely a rabbit of the other’s making, a wish fulfillment fantasy that they’re chasing into the abyss?

Oh my GOD I can’t believe the rewrite is finally finished. Thank you all for your patience. If you’ve set up for the subscription alert, you’ll know I actually posted this in the middle of the night because I was so desperate to get it out there but I wanted to do one more cleanup pass before I posted the chapter alert here. I hope you enjoy!This was both, by far, the scariest chapter and my favorite. So, so good.
author: sorry I’m jumping on this bandwagon and writing a fic with the same premise as all these other fics
me, has read 500 fics like this one and is prepared to read 500 more: please never apologize for giving the people (me) what they (also me) want
This goes for art too.
Let Hermann Get Therapy You Fucking Demons
As TOWOID wraps up it’s really nice to finally steal over to the Newmann Kidnapping AU to write some down-and-dirty angst. Right now I’m just sticking to writing my favorite parts, so it’s a lot of very sad Hermann watching Newt sleep after he’s been run ragged by the Precursors. There’s a lot of pain and quiet tenderness and weird domesticity and god, it’s really self indulgent to just write a sequence of events where Newt didn’t spend those 10 years alone.
