thewintersoufflegirl:

Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Pacific Rim (Movies)
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Newton Geiszler/Hermann Gottlieb
Characters: Newton Geiszler, Hermann Gottlieb
Additional Tags: Post-Movie: Pacific Rim: Uprising (2018), Fluff, Angst, Hurt/Comfort, Emotional Hurt/Comfort, vague spoilers for several marvel movies, the first half of this is incredibly self-indulgent, and the second half is angst, it’s all fun and games until the parallels kick you in the feels
Summary:

Newt, for his part, has always gravitated more toward monster movies than superhero films, and Hermann’s memories of them are rather fuzzy, so they are both going in with very little knowledge of what to expect. Hermann is sure it will be fine, though.

This is his first mistake.

I’d been kicking this idea around for a little while, and then this post by @avelera finally inspired me to sit down and write it.

Hermann after Newts first drift.

YES. Found a gif of this, finally!! This is one of my favorite Hermann moments in the first movie.

This is what totally gives him away. Even a casual viewer can’t walk away from this shot without realizing that he cares for Newt. He didn’t shoot down Newt’s drift hypothesis to be mean. He didn’t say “impossible” just to embarrass him in front of the Marshall. He did it because he knew the risk was too great, and Newt’s mind too valuable. It’s not something he wanted to be right about, but even more, he didn’t want to see it tested.

And here he’s seeing his worst projections play out, and it’s awful. 

(Also, it’s his fault. Newt said it himself. But he probably meant it differently than how Hermann felt it. Hermann should have kept a closer eye on him. After all those years he should have known that a lack of resources, and a verbal admonishment alone wouldn’t be enough to keep Newt from trying something so interesting.)

As I’ve said before: Newt must be a terrifying person to love.
