After they get married, Newmann go to a tattoo parlor together and get each other’s initials tattooed on them. Newt gets “H.G.” tattooed on his left ring finger, just above his wedding ring. Hermann gets “N.G.” tattooed over his heart. And of course, Newt is sure to take extra good care of Hermann. “See, I’m used to tattoos, but you’re not, baby. Oh, you poor thing! Do you need kisses? Some lotion over your tender area? Don’t worry, you’re getting both. Ooh, and tea! Yeah, you’ll need tea.”

this is SOOOOOO fucking CUTE

I’VE BEEN RESISTING FOR DAYS BUT I GOTTA DO IT

Headcanon: They actually got married right after the Breach closed and Newt got his wedding ring tattoed because, duh, but also because he works with samples and stuff and wouldn’t want to lose it in some guts he’s dissecting. 

AND NOW FOR THE SAD TIME, LOOK AWAY IF YOU MUST

The reason the Precursors have him wearing that big ugly ring on his left ring finger in Uprising is to cover it up. Not just to hide that Newt’s been married from others, but also to hide the reminder from himself, so he can’t as easily remember why he was fighting them so hard.

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?

I commissioned this from lunarinferno. Isn’t it awesome? I figure this happens after they’ve saved the world because they can actually relax and have a good night’s sleep instead of working horribly long hours and stressing out.

There’s so much detail! (open it in another window for a better look)

I adore their interlocking fingers. 

Hermann looks so content and happy using Newt as his pillow (and he looks 10 years younger when he’s smiling and happy, not like a grumpy old professor). 

Hermann’s all comfy in his pajamas while Newt’s just kinda sprawled in his Godzilla boxers.

Newt’s tattoos look awesome. The bit of body hair is a nice touch. And I love his pudgy tum. 😀

I had to look at twice before I spotted Newt’s glasses setting over on the nightstand.
