Another Newmann idea
The âpassionateâ letters in their shared history...why thatâs ripe for a Cyrano de Bergerac trope!
Some guy doing a PhD has a crush on Newt, Hermann helps his friend flesh out his letters to make him sound sufficiently well-versed in kaiju pathology, but in the course of doing so he falls in love with Newt himself. But oh no, he couldnât possibly reveal himself, especially once Newt and his friend meet up and they hit it off. His friend being so much more conventionally handsome, and overall a good guy who deserves happiness, and Hermann could never compete.
But his friend desperately needs his help, because Newt is just way too smart for him to keep up with the conversation. [insert the middle third of Cyrano de Bergerac here] ...meanwhile Newt and Hermann work together at the PPDC, and the friend is a Jaeger pilot gone to war, Newt never suspecting the truth, until the drift, when all is revealed, that Newt was in love with Hermannâs mind all this time.
(I actually really like the idea of Newt being the Cyrano also, even moreso, but it strays more from the trope I think )
