hehe……yes….also hermann seeing newt as some sort of Hunky Genius is SO funny and one of my favorite things ever. i also maybe wrote this a LOTTT sappier and more Romantic than i intended LOL feel free to send in another request for a much sillier redo (ie: hermann pining over newt doing something dumbass)
It was always hard explaining Newton to colleagues, back in the day. No, Newton was not a research partner, technically, nothing that official–they were not paid to write each other, nor thrown together against their will. Newton was not a boyfriend, either, nor some long-lost love or overseas fiance, nothing so romantic, even if Hermann grinned like a fool when each new letter came in, even if the very mention of Newton made his heart flutter, even if Hermann kept photographs Newton sent of himself tacked up his walls and above his desk. They were friends. They were colleagues. Hermann thought Newton was brilliant and admired him, and Newton admired Hermann in return.
Writing here is done by screechthemighty! We did that kind of writing/art swap/trade thing? You know, you do an art or some words and swap ‘em to then do words for the art and art for the words.
Was I stoked to get a story about bioluminescence? Heck yes I was.
It should go without saying, but please do not delete the text since the art was made to go with the story.
He was really mad. I think I might be vibrating from how pissed off I am levels of mad. I’m ranting loudly at my lab partner even though he wasn’t involved levels of mad. Newt wasn’t sure if Hermann was listening to anything he was saying, but he had to get it off his chest somehow. It was either this or screech at the people he was actually angry with. Satisfying as that would be, it would also land him in some serious trouble. He didn’t need that right now.
