summary: Mr. Scamander introduces you to his bowtruckle...and he may or may not be falling for you as he does.
warnings: none :)
Tumblr media
“You have a bowtruckle in your pocket.”
Newt halts in his fiddling with the locks on his case and looks up at you through the wispy, caramel hair that’s constantly obscuring his eyes from your view. You’re perched on one of Tina and Queenie’s dining room chairs. Jacob carried it into the living room for you earlier when you all first arrived. Newt had offered you his seat on the well-worn, but plush lounge, but you had refused, stating that you can handle having a conversation without a cushion, thank you very much. 
Your legs are crossed daintily at the ankles, and you lean forward as you consider Newt. Or, more specifically, Pickett, who has clambered up his shoulder to huddle shyly behind his neck. Only the creature’s eyes and the sprig on top of his head can be seen, and you smile sweetly when you make eye contact. Newt blinks at the way your perfectly curled hair flutters around your eyes like curtains in the breeze when you move. He can tell you’re curious, and realizes that you’ve never seen a bowtruckle before. The corner of his mouth turns up fondly at the thought.
“That I do,” he responds, shifting in his crouch as he finishes locking up his case.
“Why?”
Newt finds himself blinking once again at the bluntness of your question, and he tilts his head up to look at you fully. Your gaze meets his inquisitively, and he’s quick to look back down before you can see the blush spreading across his cheeks. He rolls out of his crouch with a small sigh until he’s sitting on the ground with his back against the lounge, legs spread out in front of him. “Well,” he starts, “I keep bowtruckles in my case, but Pickett has what Queenie calls ‘attachment issues.’”
You raise your eyebrows and an amused smile creeps across your face. “Attachment issues,” you repeat, encouraging him to elaborate.
Newt backtracks, eyes flicking to the ceiling as he thinks of a way to explain. He holds his hand up in front of his shoulder, encouraging Pickett to wrap his spindly limbs around his thumb and pull himself up. Once his little friend is standing comfortably on his palm, Newt runs a gentle finger over the sprout at the top of his head. “He doesn’t like his tree,” he clarifies simply.
You chuckle softly and lean forward out of your chair to get a closer look. “But aren’t bowtruckles guardians of their trees?” you ask. A pleased warmth spreads through Link’s chest at your knowledge of one of his creatures. You laugh again when he nods in confirmation. “Why doesn’t he like his tree?”
“He says the other bowtruckles bully him.” Newt shifts to cradle Pickett in both of his hands and sits up, crossing his legs. He regards you with a small smirk, green eyes twinkling with mischief. “But I have a suspicion that he’s actually just sensitive.” He whispers the last part as if it’s a secret, making you giggle and Pickett whirl around to glare adorably at his keeper. 
Newt frowns right back down at him. “What?” he asks incredulously. “You and I both know it’s true.” You’re absolutely delighted when the bowtruckle blows a raspberry, and Newt rolls his eyes good-naturedly. “Again, that behavior is so beneath you, Pickett.”
You snicker and slide off of the dining chair and to the floor so you’re sitting next to Newt on one hip, with both of your legs folded on top of each other. The magizoologist flushes bright red from the tips of his ears to his chest when you settle next to him, despite you maintaining a respectable distance between the two of you. He’s glad you’re too occupied with mesmerizing Pickett to notice his current state—The little creature had shied away from you when you first moved closer, but now he’s watching in fascination as you conjure flowers about the size of the pads of Newt’s fingers out of the tip of your wand. Pickett watches them all the way as they shoot up to the ceiling only to gently float back down to the floor. 
“So,” You shoot a baby blue flower across the room, causing Pickett to reel around in search of it, “Does that make you Pickett’s tree?”
Newt whips his head around to look at you with wide, green eyes. “What?” he splutters. You grin at his reaction and unthinkingly magick an array of tiny, yellow flowers to rain around Pickett. The soft petals tickle Newt’s hands when the flowers land in them, and he finds he quite likes the feeling.
“Like I said,” you continue, “bowtruckles live to guard their trees. And if Pickett is always with you…” You fix him with a teasing smile underneath your lashes, “...that makes you his tree.”
Newt gapes at you, jaw moving up and down as he tries in vain to come up with something to respond with. What does one say when a beautiful acquaintance compares you to a tree? He swallows to clear his dry mouth and mumbles: “I suppose it does.”
Your lips spread into a wide smile and you snicker giddily at the baffled expression on the magizoologist’s face. At this point, Pickett has clambered up the lapels of Newt’s white collared shirt so he’s perched on his collarbone. And while you look back at the creature, Newt finds it impossible for him to tear his gaze from you. You twirl your fingers in a “hello” to Pickett, and if his heart wasn’t already melting at that small movement, the way your nose crinkles when you smile warms him completely. Newt’s mouth twitches up once again, and this time a glint of his teeth shines through his smile. 
A breathy laugh escapes from his lips when you raise your wand and resume your flower shower. You look back at him at the sound, smile dropping slightly when you see the way Mr. Scamander is looking at you.
You’ve only known him for a couple of days, but from what you’ve seen, he’s never held a significant amount of eye contact with anyone. He tends to keep his head bowed, raising his eyes only for certain amounts of necessary eye contact. This close, you can see flecks of golden-brown hidden in his forest green eyes, like the first hints of autumn that appear in September. You find yourself searching for every last one of the beautiful imperfections while he maintains stunned eye contact with you. You get to see up close as his eyes soften, beholding you as if for the first time.
Newt’s eyes flick down to your lips briefly before raising back up to yours, and your cheeks flame at the minuscule gesture. You look down at your lap in an attempt to hide your flaming cheeks and notice Newt doing the same out of the corner of your eye. 
“Miss (l/n)?” Newt’s quiet, husky voice penetrates your being, and you stop tapping your knee nervously. You look back up at him through your lashes to let him know you heard him and his eyes falter from his own lap to your eyes and then back again before he smiles bashfully. “Would you like to meet the rest of my creatures?”
A soft, but still shy smile spreads across your face. “I would love to.”
A full-on grin breaks across Newt’s face and he scrambles to his feet, gently guiding Pickett up until he’s perched on his shoulder. Then, he holds out a hand to you, and you smile as you allow him to pull you to your feet. Neither of you are quick to let go of the other’s hand, and you find you quite like the feel of his worked, calloused fingers in yours.
Newt’s the one who lets go first, but it’s only to reach down and flick the locks of his battered case back open. You watch as he pries it open and lets the top end fall to the floor with a thump. He stands back up to his full height and huffs out a breath and you look at him curiously when you feel him look back at you with a subtle smile. “Ready?” he asks.
Your heart flutters, and you feel like the sudden lightness in your chest has the power to lift you off the ground. “Ready.”
~*~
Jacob steps over the Goldstein’s threshold with a relieved groan and holds the door open for Queenie. He scans the living room tiredly, and what he sees has him suddenly much more awake. His jaw drops slightly, but he schools himself enough to say, “Um…Queen?”
“Hm?” Queenie bounces clumsily into the flat after him. She catches Jacob’s shoulder to stop herself from tripping over her own two feet, and her blue eyes widen as she takes in the living room. “Oh, dear.”
“‘Oh dear?’” Jacob parrots, closing the door behind his girlfriend. “What the hell happened in here?” When the two of them and Tina had left two hours before, the Goldstein’s living room was meticulously clean, thanks to the elder of the two sisters. Now, it looks like a meadow exploded. What seems like thousands of flowers lay scattered across the carpet and the furniture, most of them concentrated around Newt’s closed case in the middle of the floor.
Queenie’s careful as she walks further into the room, for some reason doing her best not to step on the tiny blossoms. “We’re lucky Teeny got called in,” she chimes. “I’m sure she wouldn’t be happy to see this.” She snorts softly and then giggles, returning to her examination of the sitting room-turned-field. “I just don’t know why either of ‘em woulda done it.”
Jacob turns around in a slow circle, face still scrunched up comically. “Where the hell are they?”
Queenie squints when she frowns. “I don’t know.” Her eyes flick down to Newt’s case laying inconspicuously in the middle of the carpet. She grins toothily and hums at her epiphany before scurrying over to the case and kneeling in its surrounding flowers. 
“Don’t tell Newt I did this,” she whispers as she points her wand at the case and mutters, “Alohomora.” The locks flip open with a satisfying click, and Jacob walks over to join Queenie in peering down into Newt’s garden shed.
Queenie then proceeds to tip the entire top half of her body over the side of the case so her torso is dangling over the edge and into the other world.
Jacob splutters and grabs hold of the back of her calves just as she starts to slide. “Jesus, Queen, what’re you doin’?” he hisses, keeping his voice down in case Newt is close to the shed.
“Whoops!” is the only explanation she gives. Jacob sighs tiredly.
“There are a lot easier ways to do this, you know. Like climbing down the ladder.”
Queenie ignores him and turns her head to the side, blonde curls swishing into her face as she does. She blows harshly to get them to fall back out of her eyes before stilling once again, blue eyes flicking around the shed as she searches the thoughts of the different creatures in Newt’s tiny world. 
It doesn’t take her long to find the two of you, but one, simple word reigns supreme:
Pretty.
Queenie smiles as the warm feeling you and Newt are taken with fills her up like a balloon. She swings herself back up into the apartment, and Jacob rips his hands off of her legs to avoid being sat on. Yours and Newt’s thoughts die down until all she can feel is Jacob’s confusion and Mrs. Esposito’s frustration because apparently Janey downstairs brought another boy in without permission.
Jacob frowns when he sees the way Queenie is smiling. “What?” he asks. She huffs and shrugs, still smiling, and Jacob raises his eyebrows at her slightly-crazed state. Her bob is now more of a frizzy pom-pom look and she’s practically twitching with excitement as what she just felt whips through her head like a summer storm.
“We best not bother those two for a while,” is her only explanation.

Hello! I was wondering if you still are continuing to take fanfic request if you could possibly do one where newt and the reader are childhood friends and newt really likes the reader and is going to their house to confess his feeling to them but he is sad because they moved to New York to find a Job and after a few years newt sees the reader sitting on a bench at a park in New York but doesn’t know if that’s them because they are sitting with their back away from him so he isn’t sure if that’s really them, and they finally reunited and he confesses his feeling when the reading is working a late night shift at the department store in the first film and is about to go home oh btw if you could possibly add a bit of jealous Tina let’s say newt has kept the same necklace which he wanted to give to the reader when he wanted to confess his feeling to them when he was younger and then Tina goes into Newt’s case and finds the necklace and assumes Newt wants to give it to her so she puts it on anyway and Newt says it is not for her and she has to give the necklace back to him but at the end when she sees how happy Newt and the reader are together she is happy and accepts the fact that newt likes someone else and finds someone else to love. Omg if you do this I will be so so so happy I have just had this idea for a really long time now but honestly probably couldn’t actually write it thank you so much!

Pairing - Newt Scamander x Reader
Summary - Newt left you and you had no idea why. He was someone you could never stop thinking about but as luck would have it, he found you. Will he leave you again? Will he be honest about how he truly feels? Or will he hurt you all over again?
A/N - Jezz it's been a long time. I remember when I was in high school, and my only hobby was writing fanfiction. I never told a soul. But here I am, now 22 and still wanting to come back and write from time to time. Though I didn't start this Tumblr account when I was in high school. I hope you like what I've written and keep sending requests and I just might write some. Might even right a few then hop off the face of the planet again. I don't know, but enjoy :)

Tumblr media
Your most fond memories were running round the halls of Hogwarts with Newt not far behind. Sometimes you were skipping class to be with his creatures, sometimes one would escape, and you were both trying to catch it and other times, your favorite times, it was just so you could both be alone. There was a spot, under the east stairwell, where you'd hide. Newt was never one for affection but for some reason, here, with you, he'd hold your hand. Tracing his fingers over the lines on your palm almost like he was trying to read your future. You always hoped he'd be reading them to see if your futures aligned. Maybe if the maps on your palm were identical to his, it meant you were meant to be together. Like it was destiny. He'd never let you read his though, only allowing you to wrap your fingers together, intertwining them like perfect puzzle pieces. You'd lean you head on his shoulder, and he'd mumble creature facts to you, describe their beauty with hints of passion. Unicorns and fairies were in muggle stories, always the good guys and the most beautiful creatures to them. But Newt could tell you anything about any creature in the world, and you'd fall for them without caring what they looked like. Newt loved magical beasts and you loved them too.
You sat on a bench, the cold New York air biting at your skin. You didn't mind though. It reminded you of home. You'd picked up knitting a few years after graduating from Hogwarts. Both your muggle and wizard friends teased you, saying it was so boring and it was something only old people did. You liked it though, and it was always a high when you finished a piece, whether it be gloves, a hat or a scarf, it always made you so happy. Right now you were working on a scarf. You'd come up with idea of making your own version of the house scarfs at Hogwarts. You had started with your house, seeing as it was obviously superior, and worked your way through the others. Right now, you were working on the finally one. Hufflepuff. It was bittersweet. It was almost like you were pushing it off as much as you could. Every time you saw that shade of yellow, you'd be brought back to Hogwarts. To that boy with the most beautiful green eyes. To his crocked smile and its cute fluffy hair.
You smiled gently at the half-made scarf. God did you miss him. You wondered what he was doing, if he was okay, and if he still loved beast. You laughed quietly and shook your head. Of course, he does, dead or alive, he would never not love them. Even if one were to kill him, he wouldn't blame them. You heard someone chuckled behind you. It made you jump to your feet, dropping everything you were doing on the ground. Your hand flew to your back pocket, where you keep your wand, as you spun around.
Your hands fell to my sides upon seeing him. Both beautiful eyes and that fluffy hair. "Newt?"
He looked just as surprised to see you as you were of seeing him. Almost like he wasn't expecting it at all. What did he expect laughing at a random woman in the cold? A heavy sigh left your lips. "Were you just laughing at me Mr. Scamander?" You thought, seeing as you were both adults, it might be better to address him properly. You didn't have any idea on how he felt about you, if he had moved on from your friendship from school. It only felt polite to call him by his last name. He stilled and opened his mouth to speak. You could almost visually see the sweat form on his face and the color leave his eyes. "Uh no- I wasn't" He stuttered, waving his hands in the air.
You put your hands on your hips and titled your head to the side. "I jumped so hard cause I heard you laugh. Don't try to fool me." The flustered look on his face was so cute, you almost felt bad for teasing him. You weren't the same girl you were back then, growing more confident as the days went by. You wouldn't be so easily flustered by him like when you were little, but you doubt he'd even remember though moments. Or tell you about them at that. He looked just as flustered, maybe even more as he listened to you speak. It started to make you laugh and you waved a hand at him. "It's alright Scamander, I'm just teasing you. Can't handle a bit of teasing from an old friend?" His shoulders dropped, relaxing finally. For a moment, he still said nothing. Looking you up and down for a moment before finally opening his mouth to speak properly to you. "I heard you laugh and I couldn't help it. Yours is contagious." A blush crept up your neck.
He looked the same but also so different. He was taller than you now, more built, leaner. His jaw sharp, a bit longer hair, and this aura about him. He still felt a bit shy but exuded this confidence that you've never seen in him before. What had changed? How did he still feel like that kid from so long ago but I feel so mature? How stupid could I be? He's a grown man. You looked down at your items on the floor and crouched to get them. He crouched too but soon stood back up. "What are you doing here?" You sat back down, and he took a seat next to you. "I'm passing through. On my way to Arizona to release a Thunderbird I rescued from Egypt... though..." He looked down at his hands like he was ashamed. "It appears some other creatures escaped my case, so I have to find them before anything bad happens to them."
You could feel his sadness wrap around you. It felt cold and seeing him after not seeing him so long didn't erase your memories of him. His love for all magical creatures. You took his hand, like he had done to you all those times under that stairwell, and squeezed tightly. "Let me help you." His eyes moved to yours and for a moment they looked like there were stars in them. Like hearing you say that made him the happiest in the world. Like you weren't afraid or anger at him for leaving all those years ago but it soon faded. Knowing what little he knew about what was going on in this city, he never wanted to put you in danger so, like all those years ago. He pushed you away. He pulled his hand away and rose to his feet. He refused to look at you as he picked up his case. "I've got it. I know these creatures like the back of hand. Don't worry yourself with it." and without giving you even a second to respond, he began to walk away.
Seeing his back to you, slowly getting farther and farther away, you had no idea what to do. When he left you tried to stop him, but he wouldn't open up to you about why. You could never understand it all. But you did understand was how much he hurt you. How much it hurt to have him lie to your face. And how much it hurt begging him to be honest with you, begging you to stay, and having him still leave you behind. You weren't going to do again. Not this time. You were going to let him go.
____________________
Newt had been keeping himself occupied in his case all night. The others had no idea what to do. Something must've happened but none of them were close enough to him to ask. Jacob was the first to try, but all he got was one-word responses. Queenie tried to but Newt didn't even bare her a glance. Tina was the only one absent from this whole ordeal. She was inside the shed, while Newt was taking care of his creatures and Jacob followed him like a lost puppy. She was looking through his things, trying to find anything about him. They had gotten close, and had bonded through this while ordeal, even though it wasn't entirely over yet. She could feel her feelings growing for him the more they interacted with him. When Newt saved her, looked her in the eyes and promised her that'd he'd catch her, she felt something. She had felt so safe and cared for. She had a slight worry that he might leave her. Save himself and then go save his case. But he stayed and the look in his eyes felt like a silent promise that he wasn't going to leave her.
She opened up drawer after drawer. Not really rummaging through, just moving a few things around. She eventually came across and small velvet box. It was a beautiful royal blue. It was so soft and light. When she opened it, a soft glow illuminated her face. She took it out of the box, setting it aside and hold a beautiful silver necklace. It was short, like it would rest perfectly in-between a person's collarbones. These last few days, maybe he felt the same way? It felt too soon for something like this but everyone knew how awkward, yet charming Newt was. He was never very good with words. There was this tiny whisper in the back of her mind that said to ask him who this was for. Confirm with him first before she thought it belonged to her but the love she felt for him drowned out that voice. Slowly, as to not make a sound, she put it around her neck. Clasping it in place. She felt silly for being so quiet. No human on this ear could hear the sound if a necklace clamping in place but her nerves got the better of her. She closed the box, setting it back inside the drawer, and left the shed.
_____________________
You couldn't believe your boss called you in so late. You weren't a security guard; this wasn't in your job description. You were reading about everything going on, and you can't lie and say it didn't make you nervous. There was no denying it wasn't something more than normal muggle things. It had to be something you'd read about in school. Or some witch or wizard who was after something. You knew all this but could do nothing. You weren't with the Macusa, like you'd ever want to do anything like that, you were just a normal witch. The best you were good at was making positions and remembering wizard history. And of course, a butt load of creature facts. You also felt confident that the Macusa were handling it.
Never mind that. You had to be "keeping an eye out" as your boss had told you to do. This store had never been broken into at night, you never understood why. Shoplifters though? That has happened a few times. Since you didn't think anyone would dare try to break in, you brought you scarf to finish. It was almost done. Just a few more rows to go. Glancing down at the fabric in your hands, you remembered the park. How you were literally just looking at this stupid thing and thinking about him. Then he popped into thin air. Almost like you were granted a wish from the gods but now? Just looking at it stung. What did you do to deserve this treatment from him? Did he figure out your feelings and just had no clue on how to turn you down? If he didn't like you back you would've respected that decision, but he didn't even respect you enough to tell you why he was leaving. Before you could get too into your head you heard something fall to the ground. Luck truly wasn't on your side huh? First you wished for him and now you somehow jinxed this whole break in thing.
You stood, making slow, gentle movements around the front desk. Making your way over to what had dropped, you felt like there were eyes on you. And in an instant, you were grabbed from behind, a hand over your mouth. You went to scream but once your back met the person's chest you stared ahead. You saw Newt, holding a finger to his lips. Just looking at him made you anger. How could he treat you the way he did and then randomly show up here and have whoever was holding you touch you like this? What would he even need here? Then it hit you. His creatures.
You nodded and the person behind you let you go. You turned to face them and saw a man, he quickly whispered an apology to you, and two women. Then women were like polar opposites of each other, visually speaking. Nothing to do with their beauty, no, they were both probably the prettiest women you had ever met. They just looked different. Once blonde wearing pinks and a cute face of makeup, the other a brunette wearing darker clothes. After scanning the group your eyes fall back to Newt. "What's here?" he pointed past me, a floating purse making its way through the store. "Dougal, my Demiguise." You nodded slowly. You've heard a lot about those creatures. Newt always thought they were the most difficult to catch, or save even.
"Demiguise are fundamentally peaceful, but-" "they can give a nasty nip though." You shrugged. The room fell silent. You looked up at the other, who you still hadn't gotten the name of. They looked at you like you were crazy but Newt had this slight smirk on his face. "I learned from the master himself." You whispered and gently nudged Newts arm. After the interruption Newt was giving out orders. "You two, head that way. And try very hard not to be predictable. Y/n?" You hummed softly. "Stay with them?" You could tell by the look in his eyes that he was worried for them. These people obviously knew little to nothing. But you knew everything, you knew what to do and what not to do. You keep these people safe. And Newt trusted you so deeply with that task. You smiled and nodded, leading the way.
We were in some kind of attic and Newt was describing the beast to everyone in the room. Once you realized it was babysitting and that Newt "must have miscounted" you knew we were in for it. A huge and beautiful Occamy came forward. Staring straight into Newt's eyes. You felt a smile creep onto your face, you'd never seen one before but like you'd always thought, no matter the creature, it was a wonderful thing to see. Seeing how gently Newt was, you thought for sure he had it, that was until the blonde walked forward, almost like she was in awe, and accidently kicked a Christmas ordainment. It rang and the poor thing got spooked. Its body got moved around the room, almost snake like. Your first immediate thought was to get Dougal, something so big could easily kill him while it was startled like this. But once you made your way towards him, he made his way towards the other man and blondie. Now in the center of the room, Newt was gone, riding on top of it. Before you could even think to start looking around for something small or an insect, one of its wings came flying towards you. Hitting you square in the chest and making you slam into the floor. You head hurt the most, and you blacked out while gasping for air.
_____________________
We had just gotten the Occamy in the tea pot and for a spilt second everything left so calm. It felt like the weight he had been keeping on his shoulders had vanished, but it all faded when he saw you, the literal light of his light, laid limp on the floor. Tina had both hands on the tea pot and the lip so Newt ran to your side. "Y/n? Hey, wake up!" He shook you gently and then realized that was probably the worst thing he could be doing to you right now. His only other thought in mind was to take you into his arms and bring you into his case. He had put a cot in the shed, right by the entrance. Sometimes he just preferred to be asleep near his creatures. The sounds they made throughout the night were like little lullabies. He brought you down, the other following close behind, and laid you gently on it. Taking off his coat and laying that on top of you too. It was particularly cold but he still worried.
"Can you put my Occamy back and Dougal on his tree?" He didn't spare anyone a glance. But Jacob nodded, leading Queenie out of the room. But Tina stayed. She took a seat next to you, looking you over. It seemed she didn't snoop enough, or she was just blind as a bat because once she looked up towards Newt, she was a photo. A moving picture, of you, smiling so bright. Her hand slowly went to the necklace. She felt this ping in her chest. Over these past few days she thought her and Newt were becoming closer. Like they could be something more. Maybe not this soon, but over time, maybe something. It genuinely hurt more than she thought it would. While Newt was still distracted, making something to help you, she took off the necklace and gently placed it around your neck. Seeing it on you, it felt like it just belonged there.
She stood to her feet and gave Newt a gently pat on the back and left the room. Leaving the two of you alone.
______________________________
You slowly opened your eyes, your head heavy and throbbing. Your back also just completely bruised. You sat up slowly, touching your hand to your head. It was wrapped in gauze and a foreign cream over your collarbones, along with a necklace. You knew you weren't wearing it before but besides that, you were in so much pain. You glanced around the room and saw Newt, setting on the floor beside you, holding your free hand. You squeezed it and he opened his eyes, standing so quickly to his feet that he fell back a bit, leaning fully on the work bench behind him. "Are you alright?" you asked him with a chuckled. "Are you alright?" he made his way back to your side. His hand finding its way to the back of your head. He leaned down a bit, giving you a once over. You nodded. "I'm fine, though I will say that hurt more than when we tried to ride that Hippogriff we found in the forest." He moved away and went back to his work bench, grabbing something that must've been sitting there, waiting for you. He handed it to you and drank it without a second thought. Your body felt cool all of a sudden and like the pain was fading away.
He sat beside you, fiddling with his fingers. You grabbed his hands, like you'd done all those years ago but for the first time, he flipped his hand, allowing you to see the maps on his palm. He glanced at him, but his eyes were laser focused on your fingers as you ran them over the lines. Your eyes went back to his hands, much larger than yours. As you traced the lines they felt familiar. It felt like the same pattern he would trace onto you. Your heart was beating so fast. All this time you wondered why he was so fascinated by it, but he knew all along that you futures were aligned. You continued to stare and trace with a smile permanently etched on your face. "I love you."
Your eyes shot up. "I love you, y/n. I've loved you for so long and I've been terrified to tell you but..." He clenched his jaw. "When I saw you there, I was more terrified than ever. The thought of you not loving me back couldn't compare to the thought of you dying. So I knew I had to tell you. I'm sorry I never told you, and I'm sorry I left." Tears pricked at the corners of your eyes. His beautiful green meeting your calm (y/e/c). His hand went to your cheek, thumbing rubbing your tears away. You hand went over his, and gently rubbed your thumb over his knuckles. A chuckle left your lips as the tears fell completely. "I love you too. I always have."
He smirked and you could see his shoulders relax. He was looking at you so intently and then down at your lips. Your eyes met again and he leaned forward, ever so slightly, then stopped. It was a silent way to ask permission. Then you leaned forward to, inviting him in. He took the invitation and slowly kissed you. It was soft, gentle and the best thing you've ever felt in your life. The happiness you both felt filled the room. This might be your new, fondest, moment.

A Lovers Lies
Summary: three months after Tina and Newt's breakup, she sees Newt out with another woman.
Toxic Newt
Three months had passed since Newt and Tina's heartbreaking breakup. Tina was trying her best to move on, but the wounds were still fresh, and the pain lingered within her.
One crisp autumn day, as Tina was going about her usual routine, she happened to catch a glimpse of Newt walking hand in hand with a pregnant woman. A woman who appeared to be in the late stages of pregnancy and ready to give birth.
Her heart sank as realization dawned upon her.
The pain and confusion that she had pushed aside were suddenly like a raging storm within her.
Tina's eyes widened as she watched them with disbelief and anger. It all started to make sense. Newt had left her because he had cheated on her and gotten this woman pregnant
Determined to confront them and demand the truth, Tina crossed the street and approached them.
"Tina?" he stammered, trying to compose himself. "What are you doing here?"
Tina's voice shook with an amalgamation of emotions as she pointed accusingly at Y/N's growing belly. "Don't try to deny it, Newt. You cheated on me with her!"
Y/N looked at her with curious eyes, unaware of who Tina was or what she was talking about. On the other hand, Newt wore a mask of surprise mixed with a touch of panic.
"Newt, who is she?" She asked, her voice filled with innocence.
Ignoring Y/N's question, Tina took a step closer to Newt, her voice tinged with sadness and frustration. "I know the truth, Newt. You cheated on me and got her pregnant. Don't deny it."
Newt's eyes darted nervously between Tina and Y/N. "Tina, your doing this again? I thought you were over me, but you're back to trying to break up my relationships."
Tina's heart shattered. She had hoped deep inside that Newt was incapable of such manipulation, but the evidence seemed to be staring her in the face. Defeated, Tina turned and walked away.
Years passed, and Tina saw glimpses of Newt and Y/N occasionally, always with their toddler daughter.
She watched as the toddler ran around, blissfully unaware of the tangled webs that had brought her into this world.
Determined to make one last attempt at reaching Y/N, Tina approached them cautiously. Newt recognized her immediately, his face etched with worry.
"Tina," Newt spoke with an air of superiority. "Will you ever stop trying to ruin our lives?"
Tina's voice quivered. "Newt, please, stop treating me like I'm crazy, and tell your wife the truth of how you convinced that child."
But Newt laughed dismissively. "You're still convinced I cheated on you, even years later? That's just sad, Tina."
Tina took a deep breath,  "Y/N, please listen to me. I know you may think I'm crazy, but Newt cheated on me years ago, and your child is the result of it."
Y/N's face contorted with confusion and disbelief. She looked at Newt, searching for the truth. Newt, ever the expert manipulator, quickly interjected,
"Tina's lying, Y/N. She's always been obsessed with breaking us up. Don't listen to her."
Y/N hesitated momentarily. Slowly, she shook her head and turned away from Tina. "I'm sorry, Tina, but I can't believe you. Newt has never given me a reason to doubt him."
Tina's heart sank as she glanced at the little girl beside Newt. She saw innocence in her eyes, untainted by the lies and betrayals of the past. Newt escorts his wife and child away far from Tina's view.
She had tried her best, but it seemed that Y/N was too far gone, caught in Newt's web of lies. Too consumed by the fantasy that Newt had woven around her. She had lost herself in his lies, unable to see the true colours shining through.
Years later, Tina occasionally read articles about Newt, Y/N, and their daughter. The sight would bring a mixture of pain and resignation. She had done all she could to expose the truth, and now she had to accept that some stories would forever remain shrouded in secrets and deception.
Newt had successfully manipulated Y/N, painting Tina as the villain in their love story. 
Maybe one day, the truth would reach Y/N, and justice would prevail.

Fuck JK Rowling but it makes me so angry to think we could have had a complete Fantastic Beasts series with an autistic lead who isn’t a total stereotype, who is loveable, who has a love interest instead of just being infantilised…and instead we’re getting a seven season Harry Potter reboot/remake that no one asked for or wanted on HBO Max.
Tumblr media
When I was going through the process of my autism diagnosis, feeling anxious and worried about what being diagnosed would mean, knowing that Newt Scamander - a character who is adored by so many in a major franchise - was being played as autistic helped me tremendously. I saw much of myself in Newt, and it made me feel seen that an autistic person like myself could be the hero, that Newt wasn’t a joke or stereotype. It was so important to me coming to terms with my diagnosis that a character I loved was like me and not limited by being autistic.
I’ve mentioned this before but on the opening day of Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore in the UK, there was a boy on the row in front of me. When Newt came onscreen, he started bouncing and flapping his hands excitedly - like me, he was autistic and saw himself represented on the big screen.
“But Luna Lovegood” - you know what, controversial but fuck your “but Luna Lovegood”. Her actress sided with the TERF, and Luna is NOT confirmed to be autistic, it’s just a popular fan headcanon. Meanwhile Newt Scamander has been confirmed by Eddie Redmayne (not JKR, fuck her) to be on the spectrum. I’m not saying she definitely isn’t because I can definitely see it, and it’s wonderful autistic people can relate, but I’m talking about a character who is intentionally written and portrayed as autistic instead of just fan headcanons.
Tumblr media
What does having a love interest have to do with this? Believe it or not, this isn’t me just being a shipper: too often are autistic people infantilised, as if we can’t love other people or that people are incapable of loving us. But - as anyone following me most likely knows - Newt Scamander has a love interest, Porpentina “Tina” Goldstein, who he’s canonically married to in the future. They even have a grandson who is called Rolf and marries the aforementioned Luna.
In the three films, we only got a few scenes (and then JK Rowling cut Tina out because Katherine Waterston called her out on multiple occasions for being a transphobe) of Newtina but what we got showed that not only is Newt capable of forming a romantic attachment but also Tina clearly loves Newt as he is, quirks and all. She understood his odd compliment of “salamander eyes” because she knows his special interest is magical creatures and it’s his way of saying he adores her eyes. She read his book and genuinely made an effort to learn because she knew magical creatures were important to him, and we saw her grow from thinking he was writing an “extermination guide” to giving him the name for his book, “Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them”. My girl Tina LOVES Newt for who he is and always has, and that’s beautiful.
Tumblr media
Seeing an autistic person not only fall in love - he spends the whole of the 2nd and 3rd films lamenting on how beautiful she is, talking about her and with her picture in his pocket/suitcase - but also being loved for who they are is something so rarely seen and is so important.
I’ll be the first to hold my hands up and say that the second and third Fantastic Beasts movies weren’t the greatest, by the way. I will agree to that. The first one seems like a damn masterpiece in comparison, even with its problems, but I’m still angry.
The fact that JK Rowling’s bigotry has contributed to losing this rare example of autistic representation in a major mainstream franchise is something no one talks about when discussing her actions, and it hurts that no one seems to care about canon autistic representation.

Day two
Prompt: Family, Friends, Loved Ones @flufftober Newt Scamander x Kowalski!reader words; 600+ warnings; none I really like this one :)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
“Newt, what is this?” I asked suspiciously, eyes wide as Newt looked at me while he was halfway in his case.
“It’s where I keep my animals.” He said quietly with a glint in his eye.
“But-but how?” I questioned, slightly breathless at it all. Magic was still so new to me.
“There’s a spell on the case that makes the inside bigger than the outside.” He said as he climbed down the ladder in his case.
“Wait, Newt!” 
“Come on, Y/n!” He said gleefully and I gulped, looking into the case to see a ladder. I took a deep breath and put my foot on the first rung, and once I was sure it was stable I slowly climbed down. 
Once my feet hit the dusty wood floor at the bottom I let out a breath I didn’t realize I was holding. I turned around hesitantly and my face instantly lit up. I was in a small shack, and outside the door there were leafy greens everywhere. I slowly walked to the door and poked my head out, marveling at the different terrains outside of the forest. 
“Newt?” I called out, noticing the boy's absence. I yelped in shock as something small and green crawled up my sleeve, it sort of looked like a small stick. “Hello there, little guy.” The stick thing huffed, crossing its long arms. “Little girl?” I asked and it uncrossed its arm with a squeal.
“There you are.” Newt said as he came from behind a tree.
“There you are.” I snorted and his eyes lit up at the stick thing on my arm.
“Oh! You found a Bowtruckle, clingy creatures, these little things.” He said with a smile.
“A Bowtruckle?”
He nodded, “You should name her.”
I smiled at the little Bowtruckle, “Okay, how about Rosie?” She nuzzled my arm.
“I think she likes it.”
I gasped as I felt a small tug on the necklace around my neck. 
“Oh, goodness.” Newt exclaimed and grabbed a creature from off my back. It was small and black, with a duck-like beak and black eyes. 
“What is that?” I asked with wide eyes.
“It’s a baby Niffler. They like shiny things.” 
“So he tried to take my necklace?”
Newt nodded, walking over to a small enclosure and opening the top. “Indeed.” I peered into the enclosure to find a larger Niffler with six more little babies. Newt gently placed the baby back with his mama, who seemed to scold the little thing. I laughed quietly at the interaction.
 “Come.” Newt urged, grabbing my hand and dragging me through the forest. We came to a desert-like area and I held tightly onto Newt’s hand. “Frank?” Newt called out and I yelped as a large bird flew over us. 
The bird landed carefully and Newt smiled, holding his arm out to the beak. Frank nudged his hand with his beak, huffing gently. Newt retracted his hand and grabbed mine tightly.
“Oh no, no no no no no.” I declined and Newt shook his head.
“It’s okay, he won’t hurt you.” He persisted and I gulped and shut my eyes tightly.
“Okay, fine.” Newt slowly brought my hand to the bird and only once I felt his hard beak against my palm did I open my eyes. Frank’s eyes were closed in content.
“He likes you too.” Newt whispered, happiness in his gaze as he watched the girl he loved interact with the animals he loved most.
“This is so scary.” I responded. “I love it.”
“Me too. These animals are my family, I’m beyond thankful they like you.” He explained. I turned my head and looked at Newt with soft eyes.
“I am too.”

Salamanders & Suitcases
Hi everyone! So we've just launched a new Discord server for Fantastic Beasts, and particularly for Newt x Tina. This is an 18+ server dedicated to the world of Fantastic Beasts and most specifically to our beloved Magizoologist Newt Scamander and Tina Goldstein. It's a place for chat about the FB movies and really pretty much anything FB/HP related, as well as a place to share fan works such as fics, art and other media.
We are just starting up, so feel free to share this link with your friends and help us reblog so we can get the word out!

A reader who is a hybrid (of any animal) and while in her animal form meets Newt Scamander (If you write for Newt? I can't stop looking at your profile!)
Hello. Thank you for this sweet comment. Feel free to write more requests.
~ Indeed, the reader is perhaps a shapeshifter. It could be a hybrid as you say.
~ Meeting Newt will be a coincidence. The reader wanders through the forest for a little silence. As soon as Newt sees it, he will approach. The reader takes an offensive attitude to drive him away.
~ But Newt doesn't give up. The reader is affected by his behavior. He eventually returns to his human form. Newt is shocked and excited.
~ He will ask a lot of questions about what you are. He will have a long conversation with you. He says he wants to see you again when it's time to go. However, you make Ron take a promise that he will keep you a secret.
~ It is a meeting day at least once a week. It will gather more information about you from the books. Most likely Jacob will meet you. In a short time, the three of you become inseparable friends.
~ You help two of them in quests. You are keeping an eye on them. You use your powers to protect from dangers.
~ It will be a coincidence that you met Tina and Queenie. Maybe they forget to hide a tip about you. Girls get excited when they meet you. Especially Queenie is very excited. He loves to caress your animal form. She loves making clothes for your two forms.
~ Newt's animals love you. You play games with them in your animal form.
~ You now have a very loyal and devoted group of friends. Honestly, you consider yourself very lucky to have met them.

Random things Newt Scamander would do:
Never correct the Starbucks employees when they get his name wrong + tip always
Buy random things for people just because the item reminds him of them
Carry something of Tina's wherever he goes because he's just THAT whipped
Write down all his ideas in a notebook the moment he thinks of them
Have hidden pockets sewn into his clothes
Collect sand from each beach that he visits
Sketch every creature he sees
Keep jars and jars of curious things
Collect tokens to commemorate each place that he's visited
Talk to his plants
Write letters (not just because of the time period he resides in)
Keep a piece of chocolate or candy in his pocket/hat
Be one of those awkward but wholesome vloggers to document his discoveries and experiences

Meant To Be's Blue Tulip
Tumblr media
hi! soup here reporting again with a new writing. hope you enjoy it.
newt scamander x male!reader
words: 1.6k
summary: A mark means a bond between two people, that means they are meant to be to each other. Newt didn't excepted to find the person that night.
no tw :]
Tumblr media
Newt wasn't happy. Or upset. Or angry. He was neutral about it. He couldn't feel any of those stuff, it was like he didn't actually care about it but he feels he does, he feels he does care about Tina and the "crush" he has on her. But, apparently, isn't like that.
Oh, sorry, context, yeah.
Basically, there's a point in your life when you get a little mark in your wrist. A mark that you share with someone and that person is your "meant to be". Newt didn't believe in all this stuff so for him it was so ridiculous this to exist. But it did, sadly. And even more sadly, his mark appeared not so much ago.
In his wrist layed a little plant draw like cartoon, it was a stem with two leafs, it's colour was a dull, dirty green. And Newt knew something was missing on it, he couldn't tell what but definitely something was missing and he also knew that he would only discover that finding his "meant to be".
That's how it works. You have the same mark in your wrist as another person in the world, just two people meant to be have that mark and if you get together that mark would be complete. And, obviously, there were people who didn't care about it and weren't up to find those persons, they just live their lifes and who knows? maybe die without completing the mark. Newt didn't consider himself a person who was up to look for his partner but he didn't care much about it either. He hasn't got the time anyways, he has to look up for his creatures and find new ones. No time for the meant to be.
Tina interrupted his thoughts again. He remember when she showed him his mark. He remember having a bit of a pain on his chest for a little while. Her's was half of a ripped open book. Obviously her meant to be had the other part, both ere curious how would it look one completed. Not only her mark was different but she got it first so there's no way they were meant to be, if they were, their marks should've appeared at the same time.
So, there he is now, looking at the mark on his wrist, trying to decide what to do. Maybe he was just gonna live his life as usual and if he casually bumps into his meant to be then it would be cool. Maybe look for that person indirectly. If that makes sense.
"Why are you thinking so much about it? It's not that difficult" He looks up to see his brother in front of him.
"When did you...?" He shakes his head, no time for asking from where and when Theseus appeared. "It is"
"No, it's not"
"I don't have time for this, Theseus. I can't go and search for a person, I have a life, my creatures, they need me" The youngest Scamander stands up and just leaves his brother's office without letting him have the last word.
He sighs. Even tho he shows he doesn't care much about his mark -which is true for the record- he stresses a lot about it. Maybe blame the society pressure or his curiosity. Newt didn't know which but he definitely needed relax. That's why a couple of days ago he bought a ticket to get back to America. He would see Jacob, Tina and Queenie! It's gonna be a little uncomfortable with Tina but since the mark he left behind his feelings for her. This silly little plant cartoon changed him somehow.
"Freaking marks" He said before walking back home.
Tumblr media
New York fresh air one more! Nothing like the city you were kicked out because some of your beasts escaped and ruined everything! Nah, he knows he's forgiven so he's not worried.
It's been a while since he doesn't see his friends in here. Jacob has his bakery and it's working so well! Newt really wants to taste everything Jacob cooks. So they're gonna meet at Tina and Queenie's house to catch up with their lifes.
Newt is excited about this, he likes his friends very much. The only friends he has. Theseus doesn't count, he's his brother.
Finally at the front door of the house he checks no one's around so he can knock their window with a harmless spell. He sees Tina lean out and give each other a smile. A minute later he's already inside the flat.
"Newt, man!" Jacob comes up to him for a hug which the magizoologist didn't deny. He greeted Queenie and finally Tina. Again, it was a little bit uncomfortable but somehow they maneged the way to be relaxed.
Tina took his coat -even if he insisted he could've done it himself- and put it on the coat rack. Although he didn't leave his case, no shit he would, he couldn't let you-know-what happen again.
"Man, you told me you wanted to taste my masterpieces. There you go" Jacob pointed at the table and a tons of different types of bakery stuff, you know, the things Jacob makes.
They sat to drink some tea and eat a bit. They told Newt that he and Queenie finally got their mark and, ta-da! They match! Newt congratulated them, tho he wasn't ready to tell he got his now. Their mark is a baguette witch sparkles around. It had a little glow in the lines and it was so bright. Maybe that's what happens when you find that person.
"The sparks are literally shining. Why are they moving?" Newt asks a little bit confused. He never saw an animated mark.
"It only happens when a witch is in the bond. If it was only Jacob and a muggle it wouldn't be animated but as Queenie is a witch it does"
That seems... still weird, but it just happens. After a bit more of talking they hear a loud noise outside the building. They look at each other almost deciding to ignore it but it happened again, so everyone came out of the flat with their wands on hand. Except for Jacob, of course.
There was a guy outside. He looked terrified. When he saw the four of them he took a few steps back. Newt was worried, even tho he doesn't know him he couldn't help to be worried, he doesn't want to be.
"Who are you?" Tina asks.
The guy looked them with so much careful, trying to analyze everything about them. And he noticed the wands, so he took out his making them to do the same. He was shaking, his chest was moving so fast, he seemed to be out of breath, maybe he was running or escaping. Newt put his wand down and a hand up, trying to let him now that they won't hurt him, at least he won't hurt him. One step closer and the guy tightened his grip on his wand.
"Newt!" Jacob called, scared for his friend's life.
Newt didn't listen to him, he couldn't, he was so focused on the guy in front of him. Two steps more and the guy started to shake more.
"Relax, we aren't gonna hurt you. Please, put the wand down" The magizoologist took a few steps closer an put down the guy's wand himself. He seemed he wasn't able to, he was shaking so much.
Scamander felt weird. His chest felt weird, his stomach felt weird, his hands were shaking a bit and his wrist was so itchy. The only thing he knew that was happening to him was that he was so flustered looking at the jet black hair guy.
"That's not a real wand"
"You are witches"
Wow. Newt didn't see that coming. How did this muggle do to have a fake wand? Where does he come from? Maybe he's half witch half muggle? Maybe he knows a witch and they gave him this wand?
Then he felt like he had to say his name, introduce himself to this guy. Don't know why. Didn't even doubt to do it. He just went right to it.
"I'm Newt, Newt Scamander. I'm a magizoologist, I study magical creatures"
"I'm (Y/N). I'm just a normal guy without magic. I've been running away from thiefs, it's so scary. I have a fake wand because I'm not scared of witches, I admire them"
Newt felt something even stronger on his chest, like warm and his wrist was even more itchy almost hurtful. He didn't notice until now that they were making eye contact since they first looked at eachother. Newt broke it first to look down at his mark.
It was flashing. The dull dirty green came and go with a lime green. It was so weird, and something wanted to come out out of the stem but just couldn't.
He looked again at the jet hair boy and he was also looking at his mark. The same thing was happening to him and, oh, surprise! They have the same mark!
Without even saying a single word, they put their wrists together and slowly intertwined their fingers with each other's in a soft yet strong grip. They felt their marks even more itchy than before and suddenly. Nothing. Only the soft warm that his hands transmitted to the other. They separated their hands and looked at their marks. Now at the end of the stem was a blue tulip, it's petals and leaves were moving slightly and the outline shone just a little.
He has found his meant to be.
Tumblr media
hi! sorry for the crappy ending :] if you don't like it I can change it! just let me know <3 take care of yourself n be good.

Comparison
Tumblr media
Newt Scamander x Reader
Requested by: @newtscamanderimagines
Word count: 1431 words
Summary: All your life you felt self conscious about yourself compared to your sister but luckily a certain wizard is about to change that.
Warnings: Reader compares herself to Tina and Queenie; Reader talking bad about herself
You sighed. You had still many things to do but instead of doing them you were staring yet again at the mirror. Bothered by the reflection, which looked back at you. Every time you looked at yourself you seemed to find more issues. Like why were you not as skinny as Tina? Why didn’t your eyes have the same spark inside them like Queenie’s? The list could go on and on. As you may have noticed you often compared yourself to your two older sisters, but you weren’t completely at fault for that. Since you were born your sisters were better than you and you were always compared to them by your mother.                                                                                                                                                                 “(Y/N)?”, the soft voice of Queenie called. Quickly you wiped the tears away that you can’t remember spilling.
“Yes?”
“Where going out searching for Newts creatures. Do you want to come with us?”, the mention of the man, on which you managed to have a big crush on, made your heart flutter, and your cheeks and ears blush.
“Um, sure. Let’s go,” you tried your best to conceal the fact that you were crying not a minute ago. You looked one last time in the mirror and walked out of your room to put your coat on.
Together with Newt, Jakob, and your sisters you were trying your hardest to search for any signs of the creatures from Newt.
“We’re going to find them, Newt,” Tina encouraged when you all came home with no trace of the missing creatures. She put a hand on Newt’s shoulder in response to that he smiled at her. You suspected for a long time that the two liked each other and this suspicion was confirmed by the look they gave one another. You sadly walked past them knowing you have no chance with him.
“Where are you going, sweetie? We’re going to have dinner soon,” Queenie called while hugging Jakob’s arm.
“I’m not hungry,” you stated. With your back turned you couldn’t see the concern in Newt’s eyes. You continued your way to your room with your head down.
The mix of chatter and laughter from the living room filled your ears, while you were laying on your bed staring at the ceiling. Tears run down your cheeks straining them with mascara. Unknown to you the little brown eyes of a certain bowtruckle with attachment issues were watching your miserable state. Pickett quietly left your room unnoticed by you. Truth to be told the little creature saw that his owner and you liked each other much more than friends from the moment you had seen one another. Since then, Pickett tried to bring the two of you together. Pickett walked to his owner and climbed on Newt’s shoulder. He tucked at a strand of Newt’s hair, which startled Newt a little. Pickett squeaked and pointed to the hallway.
“What is it, Pickett?” Newt asked confused. Pickett squeaked and pointed to the hallway again angrier and more desperate this time, showing Newt his matter was of great importance. Newt excused himself and followed Pickett’s directions. He got more concerned the nearer they walked to your room.
When they stood directly before Newt’s heart broke at the sound of the sobs you couldn’t hold back anymore.
The sound off someone knocking at your door made you jump up into a sitting position.
“(Y/N)? Can I please come in?” you heard Newt’s soft voice full of concern and sadness. You quickly wiped the tears away and made a big mistake. You looked into the mirror again. Your eyes were red and puffy, and your cheeks were stained with a mix of tears and mascara. You just felt overall ugly and immediately felt like crying again.
“Please, (Y/N). Let me in,” Newt’s soft voice called again, with an undertone of concern. You tried your best at wiping the mascara away and slowly walked to your door. You took a second thinking of your options but opened the door eventually. It was known that Newt isn’t really a hugger, but he couldn’t help himself when he saw you. In Newt’s arms you broke down again. For a moment he thought he had done something wrong, but you made it clear to him that you were comfortable when you clutch at his shirt pulling him even closer.
“What’s wrong?” Newt asked with sympathy in his eyes when you calmed down a bit. You didn’t really want him to know, so he was met with silence. Newt pulled away a bit in order to look into your eyes.
“Y-you can talk to me, (Y/N). You know that don’t you? So please? I want to see you smile again,” he begged.
“I-,” you could feel tears building up again, “I just don’t feel like I’m good enough compared to my sisters,”
“What do you mean?” he carefully asked. He didn’t want to push you but also wanted to understand what was bothering you. You sighed and watching how you began to play with your finger.
“I’m not as good as them in witchcraft neither am I as social. My eyes aren’t as special as Queenies. My hair is always a mess not like my sisters theirs is always perfect. My body isn’t as beautiful as theirs. I’m completely ugly. My-,”
“Alright, stop!” Newt interrupted your rambling, “I’ll not let you say those bad things about yourself,” you looked surprised up in Newt’s eyes.
“You’re so beautiful! Inside and out-,“
“You’re just saying that to make me feel better. You don’t mean that,”
“H-how can I just say that w-when you made me fall in love with you?” Newt whispered nervously now too looking down not daring to meet your eyes in fear he would see disgust written on your face.
“Y-you love me?” you asked not sure if you heard him correctly. He took a deep breath to calm his nerves.
“I love you,” Newt repeated louder this time. You still couldn’t believe what you had heard.
“Say something,” he pleated.
“I- but you’re in love with Tina,” it wasn’t what you wanted to say but the only thing you managed to choke out.
“What?”
“I- I mean you are always by her side and look at her like-,” you stopped your meaningless ramble when you noticed that your noses were nearly touching.
“Like?” he asked, and you could have sworn that you saw his eyes flickered shortly to your lips.
“Like she’s the most beautiful girl in the world,” you whispered as if it was a secret, and no one should know about it.
“But the most beautiful girl sits right before me,” Newt whispered back feeling his heart thumbing so wildly it already hurts. You just furrowed your brows and lowered your eyes. He carefully put a hand under your chin to lift your head so that you had to look into his eyes.
“Y-you don’t believe me? Then let me please convince you?” he asked hopefully in a moment of bravery. You slightly tilted your head in confusion but nodded anyway.
“I love your nose. I don’t know if you know but you scrunch it when you concentrate and meanwhile look incredibly cute.
I love your eyes. How your beautifully (Y/E/C) eyes twinkle with curiosity when you try to understand something or when someone tells a story,” The list went on until he complimented nearly every body part of you. You again had tears in your eyes but this time of joy. He even made yourself laugh about your insecurities.
“By the way I love you too,” you grinned.
“Really?” you nodded. In response to that Newt leaned slowly in, giving you enough time to back away. You slightly opened your mouth and met his lips mid-way. His kiss was pretty soft, but he didn’t fail to convey the love he felt for you. His right hand cupped your cheek, and his left was on your waist. Your hands were on his neck playing with the ends of his hair. You both pulled yourselves even closer to one another. When you eventually pulled away to catch some breath you just stared in each other’s eyes. After a few more kisses Newt laid down on your bed pulling you down with him, so you were comfortably laying on his chest. You talked for a bit, but you eventually fell asleep cuddled up in your loves embrace.
“Sweet dreams, my love,” Newt whispered and gave you one last kiss on your forehead before falling asleep himself.

Crush Crush Crush
Warning - None
Pairing - Newt Scamander x Reader
Summary - You seem to have a crush on someone else. Newt gets tired of hearing you talk about this new guy and the letters you’ve been sending each other so he goes to ask his brother for advice on what to do.
A/N - I posted a couple days ago that I was annoyed that I felt like I read every Newt Scamander fic on Tumblr so I decided to write my own. If this is bad, then just ignore it, but if you like the way I write I’m always down to take requests. I’m awful at coming up with my own original ideas so if you had something in mind that you couldn’t find, I’d be more than happy to write it for you.

Newt couldn’t understand why someone like you would date... someone like him. After you accompanied Newt to America, you’d gained a crush on a wizard working for the MACUSA. It kind of made him sick to his stomach. How you’d talk about this wizard he didn’t even remember meeting, let alone who you had somehow met during the trip. The trip was pure chaos, him and Tina almost getting killed and you somehow found time to meet some random guy? It truly didn’t make any sense. Theseus was getting tired of hearing Newt talk on and on about it. Though he was happy Newt was talking to him, he wished it was more brotherly or about anything else besides you and your stupid crush. What a stupid crush.
Theseus sighed loudly, stopping Newts talking immediately.
“Sorry...” he mumbled to himself. Theseus put a reassuring hand on his shoulder, causing Newt to lightly flinch. Even though they were quite literally brothers, and Newt has technically known Theseus HIS whole life, he still couldn’t get used to the touching or hugging. He didn’t think he ever would.
“Relax. It’s not like your talking to me just to talk about her.” He smirked and tried to meet Newt’s eyes. But his head was hung low as he played with his fingers. He would glance at his brother only for a moment, before going straight back to looking down at his lap.
“I just wished SHE’D stop talking about it too... it’s driving me insane...” He spoke so quietly at the end that Theseus hadn’t heard it, but he continued to talk like he had. 
“Maybe hmmm, I don’t know, tell her how you feel? She talks about you all the time too, maybe she’s just trying to make you jealous, so she doesn’t have to make the first move.” Again Newt shook his head.
“I could never do that and if she didn’t like me it would just make her uncomfortable. I don’t want that. She’s like my best friend..” Theseus sighed again and stood from his office couch, glancing at his watch. Anyone could tell by the stack of papers on his desk, and the ‘do not disturb’ sign on his door that Newt ignored, that he a lot to do. “I’m sorry, but I’ve got things to do.” He helped Newt to his feet and began walking him to the door. Opening it and gently guiding Newt out, letting out a final bit of advice.
“It’ll only hurt you more to hear her talk about it. Maybe telling her your feelings will ATLEAST get her to stop bringing it up. Your technically her boss, so it’d make sense.” Newt really didn’t like that idea and had already decided the second those words left his brother’s mouth that he was NOT going to be taking his advice. Theseus pulled him in for one last hug and closed the door. Now all Newt could do was go home and see how you were doing with the creatures while he was away on an ‘important meeting’ as he told you. He decided he’d walk, hoping it would help clear his mind.

At home, the place Newt and I shared, I was downstairs with the animals. Tending to them and making sure nobody was hurt and everyone was staying out of trouble. I was kind of happy that Newt wasn’t home. It gave me some time to wait for a letter from Benjamin. He hadn’t written in a while, but I sent him a letter a couple days ago asking if he was alright. I knew today was an off day for him, so he’d at the very least write and send a letter today. I hoped it would make it before Newt got home from his meeting.
Newt...
He had been acting really strange lately. He’d been distant and cold since coming back from American. I tried to lighten his mood by telling him stories, or just chatting about whatever came to mind, but he never seemed to be paying attention as of late. It was bothering me. It must have been too good to be true that I could have moved on from him, met someone new and still tried to stay friends. It was like the universe was punishing me or like it was trying to make me choose between Newt and Ben... I wanted to choose Newt, but he never showed any interest in me. Ben was giving me attention... or at least he was before recently. Now it was like I was losing both of them and it hurt beyond belief. I sat down under Dougal’s tree as he climbed down to sit in my lap. He cuddled close and allowed me to snuggle him. Ever since I met Newt, he seemed to take a real liking to me. Anytime I was down here he always wanted to be held or he’d just follow me around. Once an Occamy nipped my finger, and he almost lost his mind. Newt had to come in and take him away from the poor little thing, as to not hurt it. It was my fault really; I shouldn’t have tried to pet him the way I had. This was long before I learned all the different creatures and what they did and didn’t like. Dougal still hasn’t looked at the Occamy’s the same.
I was so lost in thought; I hadn’t noticed an envelope slowly gliding towards us. One thing I loved about magic was how lazy it could be. I didn’t need to get up and check the mail because the mail always seemed to come to me, or Newt would get it for us. He was sweet like that. 
I reached out for it, gently taking it into my hands and bringing it closer to us. Dougal adjusted in my lap to be facing the letter too, almost like I was gonna read him a story. I tore the letter open, seeing Benjamin’s name and feeling excitement grow inside my chest. That didn’t last long though.
To y/n,
I hope this letter finds you well. We have been sending each other letters for a while now but I haven’t been responding. I had hope that you’d see this and understand that I didn’t want to have any sort of relationship with you anymore. I thought if I kept ignoring your letters, you’d eventually just stop sending them. I was wrong. In your most recent letter, you told me you have feelings for me, it was honestly a shock to say the least. Stop worrying about me, I’m fine and please don’t sending me letters. I didn’t think our talking would get this out of hand and I really didn’t think anything I said or did would give you any sort of impression that I had feelings for you. I think you might fall in love to easily. I really didn’t think I’d have to be this forward but here I go.
I don’t have feelings for you, I never have, and I want you to stop sending me letters. At first, it was sort of nice to keep in touch and chat but it’s getting too much. I couldn’t really say we were ever really friends. People at work have also figured out we were talking. Did you tell Tina about our letters? Why would you tell my boss something like that? Don’t send anymore letters, don’t even respond to this.
- Benjamin P. Clark
I felt my eyes water. Was I really annoying him that much? I broke down sobbing once he said he didn’t like me. The more I read the more hurt I felt. How could I be so stupid? How could I go for someone like him and then get my heart completely shattered? It wasn’t fair. I just wanted to have someone love me and it just... it felt like he at the very least liked me. I thought I might be happy and then when I told Newt he started ignoring me and it made me feel even more alone. Why couldn’t Newt just love me? Why did I have to be heartbroken twice in the same year? 
I couldn’t stop the sobs from coming out of my throat. I couldn’t tell how loud I was or even hear what was going on around me, I was just crying. Curling into myself and pulling Dougal into my chest. He didn’t let go and gently scratched at me; I think in an attempt to just pet me like I do with him. If I weren’t so distraught, it might’ve genuinely made me feel better.
“Y/n?” I didn’t hear who was calling my name. I didn’t even really hear my name at all, I was still just crying. I also didn’t hear the quick footsteps coming down the stairs and heading my direction. I didn’t hear them continue calling my name as they grew closer. I didn’t hear a thing until I felt, whoever it was, gently put their hand on my knee. I froze, beginning to just sniffle softly, to afraid to look up at the person in front of me. I knew now who it was. I could hear it wasn’t Bunty so the only other person it could be was Newt. Though I loved him, I still didn’t want to see him or have him even see ME like this. I never wanted to show this sort of thing to him. He’d never seen me cry before and now he had just walked in on me bawling my eyes out like a little baby.
“Are you hurt? Dougal?” I shook my head and moved my arms, allowing Dougal to free from my grasp and climb back into his tree. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to stay and comfort me, it was just that he knew Newt would be better at it and he felt he was leaving me in good hands. I pulled my legs back to my chest and tried to hide myself completely. Newt hadn’t said anything else, but I could feel him shift to sit next to me. There was a space between us, a line that he was refusing to cross, and for some reason that only made me want to cry more. I heard the sound of paper in his hands and knew he was looking over my letter. I wanted to grab it, tell him to mind his own business and run and hide somewhere in the basement but I couldn’t move. My body felt frozen in place. It didn’t take him long to put two and two together. I heard him let out a gentle sigh.
“You deserve someone who values you.” I laughed quietly, finally lifting my head. It was a pained laugh, one he had never heard before. “That’s rich...” I rubbed the tears from my eyes though some continued to fall. “From my perspective it looks like I’m just bad at love...” He shook his head and inched himself closer. Still, there was this invisible line that stopped him. “I’m positive that someone out there sees you for who you truly are and loves you unconditionally. You just have to look in the right place.” I rolled my eyes, allowing them to land on his green ones. God I could stare at them everyday, for the rest of my life if he’d allow it. “Where’s the right place Newt? I’ve been single since the beginning of time.” I laid my feet out in front of me and moved my gaze to my shoes. “Even when I went to Hogwarts no one showed any interest... I went to the Yule Ball alone...”
He wasn’t saying anything to my question. I knew he didn’t mean an actual place, but I was angry and his words weren’t helping to ease the pain I was feeling. I could almost feel him hesitating to say something. I didn’t want to push him anymore than I already had. Newt never seemed like the type of person who was good at comforting people who were crying so I bet my presence was causing him discomfort. I started to make a move to get up and leave but he grabbed my wrist. I spun my head towards him, locking eyes immediately. He’d never grabbed me, or anyone for that matter, before. “Right here.” 
“What?”
“This is the right place. I’m right here and I love you.”
I shook my head and pulled my arm away, raising to my feet. He followed.
“Don’t say that just because your trying to make me feel better! That will only hurt me more if you lie like that!” I took a step back, new, fresh tears spilling down my cheeks. My eyes were beginning to burn from all the crying and I felt a headache coming soon.
“I’m not lying! I do love you; I’ve always loved you.”
“You’ve been avoiding me!” I yelled, pressing my finger to his chest.
“You’ve been avoiding me and not listening to me for almost a week! Why would you do that to someone you love!”
He grabbed my wrist. “I thought you were in love with someone else. I didn’t want my feelings to ruin any relationship you might have. But hearing you talk about that fool hurt me and I couldn’t take listening to it anymore.” He took in a deep breath, moving his hand from my wrist to gently hold my hand. “I didn’t have a meeting today... I went to ask Theseus for advice and he said I should confess my feelings for you. I wasn’t going to tell you but...” I saw his jaw clench in anger and he looked around the room for a moment before his eyes met mine again. “Walking through that door and hearing you crying,,, broke me more than hearing you were in love with someone else. I realized I could deal with you falling for someone else as long as you were happy. I thought you were hurt but then I saw you holding Dougal and I thought he was hurt and I just-”
I threw my arms around his neck, holding him close. He froze, not exactly knowing what to do. But he soon snaked his arms around my waist, pulling me as close to his body as he possibly could. He nuzzled his face into my neck and took in a deep breath. “I love you.” He mumbled into my skin. “I love you too.”
After a few moments we pulled away. He asked me to explain to him how I loved him while also liking someone else. I explained that I was trying to move on from him but I’ve been in love with him since our first year together at Hogwarts. He pulled me in for another hug, now deciding to rest his chin on my head. “You know, Theseus is usually terrible at advice.” I giggled and gently hit his back. “Be nice to your brother. We wouldn’t be like this if he hadn’t told you what to do.” I felt him grip me tighter. “I guess your right.”
