Tea for Breakfast (Newtina midbirthday fic!)
*Newt, Tina, a pot of tea, and a ship of trafficked creatures.
*read on AO3: https://archiveofourown.org/works/39166353
---
“Mercy Lewis. This is crazy.” one of the Aurors exclaims among his stunned colleagues.
Tina Goldstein, head Auror of MACUSA, murmurs darkly under her breath, "my sentiments exactly." A quick tour of her latest crime scene confirms her suspicion– this is real bad. Just as she is mentally drafting a long to-do list, her colleague Kep taps her on the shoulder: “Hey boss? I think we need your English guy here. Ain’t no one can handle this but him.”
Tina answers absent-mindedly:” Don’t we have a beast division in MACUSA?”
Kep raises an unimpressed eyebrow:” Seriously? That old fool Tanner probably know less ‘bout creatures than you do.”
That Tina has to agree. And considering the circumstances, she swiftly decides:” All right, I’ll send word to the Ministry.” Her heart definitely does not skip a happy beat for the prospect of seeing her English guy, as Kep puts it.
Two days later at five in the morning, an unassuming plate shimmers and vomits a very dizzy British magizoologist, warmly greeted by his favorite Auror.
“Hello Newt.” Tina smiles her Newt-only smile while suppressing a yawn.
Newt automatically reaches out to Tina’s waist: “Morning my love.” Tina can’t help but run her fingers through his messier-than-usual hair. Oh, she has missed him.
“The ministry didn’t say much. Care to brief me instead of messing up my hair, Auror Goldstein? ”
“Well then, care to join me for breakfast, Mr. Scamandar? Work breakfast of course.” Tina replies teasingly.
Newt plants a light kiss on her temple and says: “That would be my honor.”
When Tina giggles, Newt simply grins before spinning them to disapparation.
They land in a familiar alley with a tainted picture of a dragon hanging on the wall. A knock and they enter their favorite magical dim sum house, which, as Newt claims, has a decent pot of tea. A nod from Mrs. Leung, the petite owner of the house, confirms that their usuals will be served, and Tina wastes no time getting to work.
“Two days ago, we ambushed one of the largest trafficking rings based in New York.” Tina pushes a thin file across the table, “Got our hands on their ship, and arrested these guys.”
Tina points to a picture of three sea-hardened men, and Newt nods before flipping the page. He freezes and stammers: “Is that…”
Tina nods grimly: “Yeah. That’s exactly why we need you here. Many of these creatures are quite exotic. We haven’t the faintest clue what to do.”
“How many creatures?” Newt furrows his brow in worry, and Tina mirrors his expression: “About thirty. There are two hippogriffs, four nifflers, and a thuderbird. The rest we can’t recognize with certainty. There is a ‘cargo list’ we found, but it’s encrypted. The traffickers know little about the creatures. Just following orders, they say. ”
Newt slowly nods, “I will do my best to take care of them.”
Tina smiles before sniffing her tea: “Any idea what’s in it this time?”
“Herbs of some sort. Mrs. Leung is quite creative.” Newt gulps down the warm liquid, and they fall into a companionable silence, each occupied with tea and food.
When Newt finally looks up from his plate (the food is really quite good), Tina is gnawing her lower lip, brows furrowed. Noticing Newt’s glances, Tina sighs and says: “I have a bad feeling about this Newt. Some of the creatures… well, they don’t seem right.”
“I haven’t seen many trafficked animals, but you told me about Frank. You said even chained, he’s quite spirited, though not in an obvious way. As soon as you came along to rescue, his spirit sort of rekindles. But these creatures seem… off, numb even when we opened up their cages. Like their minds are elsewhere.” Tina toys with her cup mindlessly, not quite looking at Newt: “I could be wrong though. It’s a gut feeling. Everyone else thinks the creatures are just mal-nourished and shock is all. ”
Newt gently squeezes her hand, meeting her worried eyes: “We will find out. ”
The pair are walking down a narrow path leading to an ordinary-looking ship when a voice calls from the stairs leading to the entryway of the ship: “You must be Mr. Scamandar!” Tina rolls her eyes and yells back: “Your boss is right here, Kep, don’t ya see me?” Newt flashes an amused smile: “So that’s Kep.”
The trustworthy yet “unbelievably annoying” colleague of Tina erases his naughty smile and slips into Auror mode when leading Tina and Newt inside the ship:” Nothing unusual boss. The creatures are okay. Pretty quiet. Dunno if that’s good or bad though.”
“Probably bad,” Newt murmurs as soon as he steps into the main compartment where all the trafficked creatures are kept. The silence is not a comfortable one. It’s unnatural and suffocating. Very unlike the many rescue sites he has witnessed. He turns to Tina: “You are right Tina. Something’s off with them.”
Tina nods gravely and gives Newt a quick tour of all the creatures, now unchained but divided by magical wards the Aurors have set up. Newt looks at each of them with empathy and sadness. Such beautiful creatures, but their spirit seem gone. The only good thing that comes out of their rather depressing tour is Newt recognizes most of the creatures and therefore feels confident taking care of them properly. A list of creatures and a list of necessities are drafted, and Newt gets to work, trying to establish trust with the poor creatures. Tina follows him just like in his suitcase, doing what she can.
A few hours later, Kep finds the pair deep inside the ship: “Boss? You’re needed in the office. The cargo list is cracked. Si sends a Patronus saying you gotta take a look.”
Tina drops a bucket of meat on the ground and turns to Newt: “You gonna be alright if I leave for a bit?”
Newt disentangles her fidgeting fingers:” Of course love. Go, you might have new clues.”
When Tina hesitates, Newt adds with a fierceness she remembered hearing on the rooftop when he told her he will save Credence: “I will find out what’s wrong with them. I will help them.”
Kep is still stunned by her boss being called love, and can’t shut up about it on their way back to MACUSA.
Tina gets to work the moment her colleagues hand her the newly deciphered cargo list. Turns out the cargo list is an understatement of the century. It is a detailed log of buying and selling and a complete account book. With a flick of her wand, every creature and buyer is projected on a wall, and some of her colleagues draw a stunned breath when seeing some of the renowned wizards among the buyers.
As Tina flips through the account book, her frown deepens. Strange. Everything else is so meticulously detailed, but this item documented as “weed” seems uncharacteristically vague. Are they doing drug business on the side? Tina wonders. She starts cataloging all information in chronological order, looking for any indication of what this mysterious weed is.
Just when she is buried neck-deep in a pile of papers and notes, a shining thunderbird Patronus dashes to her desk.
Newt.
She almost knocks over her coffee mug when an instinct of panic takes over. Then the Patronus speaks in a familiar voice: “Don’t panic Tina. I’m alright. I found out what was wrong with the creatures. Can you come over? ”
The moment Tina steps inside the ship, Newt exclaims excitedly: “I found out!” Even when her mind is almost completely occupied with work, Tina can’t help but notice the glint in his eyes. I love him like this, Tina thinks.
“You see, the creatures are behaving like people under the imperious curse, but not quite. I thought about spells, and it turns out…” Newt is leading Tina to a hidden corner when something clicks in the back of her mind.
“It’s potion.”
Newt looks at her in surprise: “How do you know?”
“They keep buying something called ‘weed’ in large quantities.” Tina explains, “They buy it regularly. That gotta be what they use to make the creatures… like this… so they can better control them. requires fewer men to keep them in check as well.”
She adds with clear disgust: “How cruel.”
Newt gestures to an empty cupboard and a half-empty vile: “This is probably the ‘weed’. I don’t exactly know what it is, but I have a couple of guesses.”
Tina examines the amber liquid carefully: “Potion is not really my strong suit. The weed is all brought somewhere in America though. Could be something native.”
Newt begins pacing while murmuring “weed” as if the name rings a bell. Tina can’t help him. Her knowledge of plants is fairly limited, even when her fella is an expert in all plants and animals.
“Jimsonweed!” New suddenly exclaims, “this is it! It’s a plant that causes coma and hallucination. They might have twisted the effect with some magic, but the hallucination is there. That’s why the creatures seem off. They are probably hallucinating…”
“How do you know there is hallucination?” Tina eyes the vile and Newt with suspicion. Newt’s excited babble about the effect of jimsonweed comes to a rapid halt, and he looks sheepish staring at his shoes.
Tina has seen this look before. So he tested it on himself. “Newton Scamander, did you drink this vile of unknown potion? ”
Newt’s eyes widened as he says defensively: “No! I just… well… I sniffed it.”
Tina is at a loss for words. This is so Newt, therefore very reckless and she is very very mad at him for always trying out on himself. But now it’s not the time for a lecture on safety precautions in crime scenes (hell she can go on for an hour). Now it’s time for saving these poor creatures.
Before she can voice her question though, Newt speaks: “Now that I know the ingredient. I can make an antidote. Might need a few things though. ” When Tina doesn’t respond, he quickly adds: “Please don’t be mad at me. I know it’s safe because the creatures are not severely harmed by any means.”
Tina sighs and counters gently: “You know I always worry.”
Newt brushes a lock of loose hair behind her ear, the familiar gesture sending a slight shiver along her spine. When those mesmerizing green eyes stare into hers, Tina fails at suppressing a smile. His eyes say everything, and of course, he is forgiven.
Days pass by in a blur of creature saving (for Newt) and criminal catching (for Tina). When all the creatures are nourished back to health thanks to Newt’s antidote, it is time for Tina’s least favorite part of her job–paperwork.
“I hate paperwork.” Tina groans, looking desperately at her (many) unfiled reports.
Newt, who has made himself part of the Auror office over the past few days, opens his mouth but is cut off by a mock-stern glance from Tina, "Nope I know you wanna help. But Newt, I've seen your paperwork skills..." Tina shakes her head dramatically.
Newt suppresses an amused smile, "You know me too well, my love, should I be concerned?"
“There’s actually something I don’t know.” Tina says thoughtfully, “how did you know it’s potion, not spells?”
“Well… you gave the idea.” Newt replies with a grin, while Tina puts down her quill, too eager for a distraction from her paperwork, “Remember the day I got here, we had tea at Mrs. Leung’s? The first time we went there, she gave us a weird-tasting pot of tea. You almost choked, and you sniff your tea before drinking ever since. ”
“Are you accusing me of giving you the idea of sniffing potentially dangerous unknown potions?” Tina raises an eyebrow, while Newt hastily clarifies: “No that’s all on me. But you did remind me that herbs are just as powerful as spells, and, well, we are right of course. ”
Tina smiles: “We should thank Mrs. Leung and her tea.”
“Indeed.” Newt nods, “how about tomorrow? Tea for breakfast?” His expectant eyes meet hers, and the sheer adoration in those eyes reminds her of Queenie’s wedding day when those same eyes took her silhouette in the snow. It takes all her will not to kiss him right in the middle of the Auror office, so she replies instead: “It sounds like a wonderful idea.”

Dear Tina,
I can hardly believe you left only two days ago. I would’ve written sooner, but I was worried the letter might miss you in your travels. Pickett and the niffler send their love. They both looked for you this morning, and I’m not convinced they believed me when I told them I haven’t hidden you away somewhere.
I’ve made arrangements for the Zouwu to be resettled in China, where she belongs, once her wounds heal. I know a wizard there who will look after her and ensure that she adjusts.
Theseus stopped by earlier today. He looks haunted, and hardly talks. I can tell he hasn’t been sleeping. I do not know what I can offer him, but it seems he wants to visit. This is the most we’ve spoken in years. Mother used to say we’d get along better when we were older, which I always thought was rubbish, but perhaps she was right. I wish it hadn’t been like this, though.
I’ve never told you, but for a couple of years during school, Theseus used to try to bring me along to parties with his friends. It never went very well, to say the least.
Did you and Queenie have similar friends in school? I believe the age differences between us are just about the same.
I keep thinking about everything Leta said in that vault. We hadn’t seen each other in years, but I used to think I knew her well. It seems I did not. How is it possible to look at someone so often and miss how they are hurting?
You see people well, I think. You noticed Credence, after all.
You seemed quiet the morning you left. I know you will miss Queenie even more in New York.
Write when you’re home safe. And look after yourself.
Newt
-&-
Tina trips into her room, tugging off her stockings as she goes. Her cheeks ache from smiling and she is trembling again and Mercy Lewis we kissed.
She glances at Queenie’s bed and laughs to think what her sister will have to say the next time they see each other.
(“Go! Talk to him! Dance with him! I don’t even need to be me to hear those thoughts,” she’d said at the end of the ceremony.)
She’s pretty sure that the next time she and Queenie in a room together, her mind won’t shut up no matter what she does.
We kissed, and his lips are so soft, and his hands feel amazing, and he held on to me and leaned against me and his eyes are beautiful and so is his voice, and when he held me up, I think I finally, just for a moment, let go…
This is it now, for good, right?—and I didn’t startle him, or…
Keep reading
this is perfect!!
so I just saw an interview where Eddie says that Newt is likely on the Asperger’s syndrome spectrum... interestingly, my therapist recently suggested that I’m very likely on the spectrum as well and I’m too scared to actually to do a proper diagnosis. I’m an adult and haven’t heard about Asperger being a thing until very recently. obviously a fictional character presumably having the same condition doesn’t change anything, but it does make me feel better...
as i was thinking about this earlier, i realized that maybe the reason I instantly shipped newtina back in 2016 is the loneliness i saw and resonated. I kinda grew up alone, never had friends that last long and back in 2016 I was in denial. I convinced myself that I’m not lonely, but I guess deep down I understand what it feels like to be lonely really well. When two lonely people found each other on screen, I was on board.
to think on how much has changed since 2016 is just... wow... I became an adult, moved to a different country, and somehow 6 years later I’m still shipping them. is that how hp fans feel growing up alongside the movies? and seriously, eddie and katherine haven’t aged a day.

Hot cocoa *SoD minor spoiler
*My first time every writing fanfic in English! Just some heart-to-heart conversation and our favorite couple being adorable. Also, English is not my first language so forgive me if I make stupid mistakes.
***
In all honesty, now should be the best time of her life. She has gotten her dream job as the Head Auror, something she wanted ever since she was a child. Though she initially threw herself to work to escape the emptiness of her heart after Paris, she surprisingly found herself taking condolence in trying to make the world a better place. Certainly can't complain about her promotion either. Now, her sister is also back-- alive and unscathed by both Grindelwald and MACUSA. Her baby sister has married a man with a good heart, and this love has redeemed her from falling further into darkness. She must remember to thank Jacob someday. And... Newt is back. This man who has taken her heart came back to her arms looking perfectly Newt (therefore perfect) as usual. All the long letters cannot compare to one Newton Scamander in the flesh, whom she can touch and talk to and (maybe) kiss. And yet. Here she is, Tina Goldstein, awake at 3 am by a twirl of uneasy thoughts. Tina sighed to herself and hopped out of bed, tiptoeing to her apartment kitchen, careful not to wake a certain someone sleeping in his suitcase. Just as she busied herself preparing a cup of hot cocoa, a flop of messy ginger hair appeared out of the open suitcase. "Tina?" Tina started and smiled apologetically: "Newt! Sorry, I didn't mean to wake you." "It's quite alright. I wasn't asleep, got lost writing a paragraph on the Qilin, I'm afraid." Newt quickly reassured her while swiftly climbing out of the case, "Ah, hot cocoa. Reminds me of a certain day in December...." "When a magizoologist carried a case full of illegal magical creatures snaked out this apartment... " Tina replied teasingly, remembering that fateful day. "and one spectacular auror was rather keen on investigating him." They can't help but chuckle at the fond memory. Later, they found themselves curled up comfortably on the sofa, sipping hot cocoa and watching the flames dance in the fireplace. Just as Tina is dozing off to sleep, Newt quietly whispered to her while tucking a lock of hair behind her ear: "What's keeping you up, love?" Tina hesitated, embarrassed to share her feelings. But she feels safe now, in Newt's arms, listening to his heartbeat, lured into a cozy state by the rhythmic movement of Newt's hand brushing her knuckles. So she blurts out: "It's stupid." "It's not stupid if it keeps you awake at this hour." Her Newt as usual, not willing to hear her say anything slightly self-deprecating. "Well.. " Tina takes a moment to collect her thoughts, while Newt strokes her back in a comforting gesture. "It's just... I should be completely happy right now, and I really wanna be happy... there's no reason..." Her exasperation must have peeked through her words because Newt quietly states, "Yet you are not."Not a question. "No, and I kinda feel weird about it." Tina sighs. They remain silent for several beats, each searching for the right word to say. Finally, Newt gently says: "It's alright you know? Things have changed rather quickly, and the whole Grindelwald business is..." "pretty balled up yeah." That they both agree. Tina sighs again, "It's just that we can't go back to the past you know. with Queenie getting married and a war going on. I'm just a little..." scared. But Auror Goldstein has a bit of pride, and she hates sharing her fear with others, especially when it concerns the person currently holding her. Involuntarily, Tina traces all the people that she has lost: her parents, some friends in school who were not as close to her as she imagined, her crush in 6th grade that ended tragically, her crush during Auror training that ended even more tragically. Jacob. Queenie. They are back now, Queenie is back. she has to remind herself. Her family is back. But there has been so much leavings in her life that it has become easier to assume everyone will ultimately leave. At least that's before Newt. To her utter horror, she finds herself hoping, desperately hoping, that this one man won't ever leave her. As that hope grows with each of his letters and visit, her fear that someday he will leave too lingers in the back of her head. What if... What if they fight, just like what happened with Queenie, and she lost those mesmerizing green eyes forever? These thoughts whirled in Tina's head until exhaustion (and the comforting presence of Newt) takes over. As the fire burns low and the couple is both half-asleep, Newt mumbles dreamingly "I won't leave. I don't think I can." Tina grunts in her sleep, a small smile gracing her face.

thoughts on female characters in FB series
*SoD minor spoile
So first thing: I absolutely love Tina Goldstein and ship Newtina with all my heart. Tina is a character with such depth, from her outward stern facade to her soft, insecure interior. I love how she has a strong moral compass, and like Newt, she wants to do the right thing. But at the same time, she is very human in that she also wants a career and independence and very likely money to sustain Queenie and herself. It’s absolutely outraging that she is sidelined in SoD. She really deserves better.
I love the close connection between Tina and Queenie. So often movies portray this stereotype of sisters/best female friends fighting and being jealous of each other for the dumbest things (basically women can’t have a “brotherly” relationship, which is bullsh*t obviously) Their relationship effectively goes against that stereotype and even when they fell out during CoG it’s a character development rather than some manufactured nonsense.
It’s a shame that Queenie’s arc doesn’t get to fully develop in SoD. Her relationship with Jacob is important, but i feel like we don’t understand her well enough. What’s her motto in life? Does she care about doing the right thing/greater good (in a non-Grindelwald sense) or is she more focused on the people she loves?
I won’t talk much about Leta besides the fact that her character is sophisticated. I like how she’s neither black nor white.
Now finally... Why I still don’t like Bunty. At first I thought it’s because I ship Newtina, but now I realized it’s not because her crush towards Newt. It’s the fact that FOR THE LOVE OF GOD THERE’S PLATONIC RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN STRAIGHT MEN AND WOMEN. It would be so much better for Newt and the audience to have any type of platonic relationship between Newt and her. Maybe a comrade spirit (fighting together to reverse public opinion about beasts) or a big-bro little-sis dynamic (also helps Newt to understand Thes better) or just FRIENDS. This way Newt would have another friend/colleague who understands him, while now it’s probably gonna be real awkward between Newt, Tina, and Bunty.
I mean look at Lally. She has a platonic relationship with Newt and Jacob, and her dynamic with them, especially Jacob, is totally amazing. (I really love her character. She’s a MOOD.) Consider the potential of any other kind of relationship between Newt and Bunty instead of her being in love with Newt.
and finally finally... to those who claim that Bunty * Newt is more natural pair: people don’t fall in love and get married because they are share a strong similarity in one aspect. Somehow the most happy couples I know compliment each other by having vast differences.
Thank you for hearing my rambling nonsense.
just saw SoD tonight...
My friend and I squealed during Dumbledore & Grindelwald scenes, but what really makes my heart soar is the 1 minute Newtina scene. I mean look at them! They are so deliriously in love and it’s the cutest thing ever. Newtina supremacy!!!
currently shipping newtina and i love them *sobs
Okay so here’s me rambling why i love them so much (personal tmi ahead).
Because I see so much of myself in them. Like Newt, I’m also socially awkward and introvert. I also tend to think that i annoy people, and it’s so refreshing to see a character who doesn’t deem it as something he needs to fix. Newt has his own strength, and deep down he’s totally fine with being himself, though he constantly wishes he can be less awkward. Plus he’s charismatic in his own way: soft and hard at the same time.
But Tina is someone that I can relate even more. She is reserved and acts snappy to hide her inner insecurities, and girl that’s basically me. I’d like to think that she had some unpleasant experience dealing with relationships, whether it’s romantic or not. Then she decided it’s safer to keep everyone at arm’s length so she won’t get hurt, which causes her to appear more reserved. I feel like she has a lot of insecurities that definitely has to do with comparing herself with others, especially Queenie. She tries her best to excel, and she definitely needs someone like Newt to care about her (giver or not everyone needs to be cared), especially given that she’s always taking care of Queenie. As an elder sibling, i can confirm that once you enter care-giver mode it becomes second nature, and it gets difficult for you to care about yourself. Newt is perfect for her because he warms her and gives her true confidence that is independent of her achievements. and Tina is good for Newt because she gives affection and strength, and I totally think Tina would hex anyone who dares to look down at Newt (and Newt would be: that’s my salamander).
