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 of Hell, nine memories of Newt’s years under Precursor control in the hopes that doing so will 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 product of wish fulfillment and fantasy that they’re chasing into the abyss?

Alternate Title: Newt Has the Kind of Panic Attack I Save for Special Occasions and I Make Relentless Fun of Him.

Anyway, Long-distance Grad School Pen Pals AU? Actually it’s more an exaggerated fandom-mutated story about how I met the woman who is now my fiancee face-to-face for the first time. Long-distance relationship and Boston and meltdowns and all that. 

Also, the thing with the dings and the bonks is An Exercise in Fugality by George Rhoads. I’ve just always called it the Dingdong Thing. It’s been at Logan Airport for as long as I can remember and it is very calming.
