Anonymous said: If you’re still taking prompts Newt taking a nap in the lab under a desk would be funny. Hermann probably either doesn’t know he does that, or is super annoyed because he didn’t think of it first.

The real question is how long he’s been under there

Thanks for the lovely prompt! Newmann requests make me always so happy.

Can you imagine the precursors depriving Newt so much that if they need some form of compliance from him they just give him the smallest thing, let him sleep an extra hour or leave Hermann a voice mail or have a milkshake, and he’s just so overwhelmed with gratitude even though he knows he shouldn’t be and can’t bring himself to resist just then?

I can definitely imagine that and it hurts.

Hermann is probably the one thing the precursors dangle in front of Newton the most. Letting him call Hermann, text, respond back to an email. It’s the one thing Newton can never resist because he misses Hermann so much.

I also imagine that they let him “off the leash” from time to time once they’re confident that they’ve broken him. He’ll spend hours – maybe days – without them puppeteering him, still doing what he knows they would want him to do.
– Progress the plan.
– Keep everyone at a safe distance.
– Drift with Alice once a day.
– Toe the line.
They’ve instilled enough fear in him that they know he won’t try anything.

When he’s finally free, he will never forgive himself for not escaping during these times
