    Summary

    The problem with Hermann—aside from the obvious factor of their being Mortal Enemies, but both he and Newt tended to gloss over that—was that he was nowhere near as loose with following the Rules as Newt, nowhere near as... lax in respecting authority. (Though, Newt supposed, that was for the better; Newt’s unsquashable rebellious streak was what led him to Fall, after all.) Hermann was too fixated on impressing the Higher-Ups and getting pats on the head for it. And normally, Newt would put up with it, maybe prod a bit of fun at it and Hermann’s father, who was definitely in the running for Absentee Parent of Existence Award, but this was the end of the world they were talking about here. “Dude,” he said, empathetically. “Come on.”

    Hermann fidgeted some more. Then he began to visibly Fret.

    “I know you’d miss me,” Newt said.

     

    (OR: inevitable PR/GO fusion wherein hermann is a terrible angel, newt is a terrible demon, and the end of the world is a little more sci-fi than either of their sides anticipated)

    Summary

    He doesn’t mean to say it. He means to let her go, to tell her to meet Nina, to erase his chapter in her night. It’s what he would do if he was a better man. Instead he says, “The Finch Inn serves hutspot into the night,” and gestures for her to follow him with a glare.

    Summary

    “Try not to die again,” Yusuf says wearily before reaching to bring a handful of water to his lips. He closes his eyes as he sips at it, and Nicolò's gaze catches on a drop of water as it slips from his lips, drips through his beard, and runs a clean line through the grime on his skin. His throat bobs as he swallows and Nicolò’s mouth goes as dry as it was before he took a sip of water.

    “Sorry,” he manages. “Thank you.”

    Yusuf turns to him, staring, his hands still cupped to his lips. The rippled water reflects in his dark eyes.

    “That’s the first time you’ve said that to me,” he says.
