I’ve seen your Grindelwald tormenting/breaking Percival and Newt fics (which are damn fine non-con) and I raise you: Gellert realizing that torturing Newt doesn’t seem to be breaking him, because Newt’s not overly concerned for himself…but! torturing Graves in front of Newt? Well, that’s a whole different story. I want a Grindelwald who only treats the tied up, crying Newt with (mock?) kindness after getting his hands dirty with Percival, because he knows the guilt is eating Newt alive.

mercurial-tenacity:

Gellert is starting to get frustrated when he decides to try a different strategy. He cleans Newt up, heals his injuries with gentle hands, and gives him time to rest. He tries not to laugh at the distrustful, anxious looks Newt gives him – he’ll understand before too long.

Then he drags Percival out of his cell. It’s been a while since Gellert played with him – the thrill went out of it when he realized the man wasn’t much more than a broken body anymore. But it turns out he has one last purpose left to serve.

He spends a while softening Percival up, getting him nicely bruised and bloody before bringing Newt in. One look at his shocked face and Gellert knows he has him. He explains the rules – he’s going to torture Percival for a while, and Newt gets to watch. Then he’ll give Newt a choice; willingly submit to him and join the cause, or ask Gellert to please keep torturing Percival for a while longer. The catch is that Gellert can tell if Newt is lying, and if he asks to join without truly meaning it he’ll prolong the next torture session even more. Maybe he also promises permenant damage to Percival if Newt refuses to answer, so there’s no opting out of the game.

He caresses Newt’s cheek with a hand still wet with Percival’s blood and promises, gives his solemn word, that no further harm will come to Newt. All the pain that would have been his, Gellert will give to Percival instead. So just remember, Newt – if you hadn’t resisted, this wouldn’t be happening to him.

@vindsie how about a Percival who is broken, but aware enough to recognize Newt?  He begs Newt not to try to save him because it’s too late, Gellert has already won against him and Percival can’t recover.  He knows he’s broken and it isn’t worth Newt throwing himself away for the wreck of a man he knows he’s become.

But Newt can never accept that.  He won’t give up on Percival and listening to his screams and whimpers is killing him as surely as if Gellert drove a knife through his chest.  He’s just not the kind of person who can let someone else suffer.

And the worst part is that Percival knows that.  Even as he writhes on the floor, even when the pain takes him beyond the ability to speak, he knows Newt will break for him.  Gellert will win again and all Percival can do is twitch and cry, torn between pleading for Newt to hold out and, in the part of his mind that just wants the pain to stop, hoping that it happens soon so that this can end.

HEY HO! i’m not dead, i was just on vacation and also busy moving! very rusty, but still in love with these two and ready to mine the next movie for inspiration heeh

This art is lovely, but it took me until a good few seconds to realize that the text was not, in fact, Percival explaining to Newt where he’d been while Grindelwald took his place. I was just like, “huh, on vacation and busy moving, that’s a new one,” until well into the second sentence before I finally realized what was up lol. It’s possible I’m very tired and shouldn’t be browsing tumblr in the middle of the night :’)

Day 16 – Gramander

It’s been a long day, and Newt is – he’s more than tired, he’s bone-deep exhausted.  And yet he’s still at MACUSA, still working, the last one in the office for all he knows.  His creatures are all settled in for the night, but he can’t afford to do the same for himself.  He has a proposal on endangered creatures to finish, advisory notes to write up for a case, another chapter of his book to draft, and bloody hell if sitting in this office isn’t a worse torture than his most grueling fieldwork.  The only relief is knowing it’s temporary – soon he’ll be off again, free at last – but it’s a small consolation when his eyes are burning from the late hour, his hand cramping from holding a quill, and his back aching from MACUSA’s less than comfortable chairs.

A knock on the door pulls him from his thoughts, and he looks up with a start.

“Mr. Scamander – forgive the interruption, I saw the light.”

Director Graves makes a cutting figure in the doorway, but on a closer look Newt can see the same tell-tale signs of exhaustion he feels in himself; slight bags under his eyes, tie not quite straight, a weary smile which speaks of a momentary respite from a never-ending stream of work.

“No no, come in Mr. Graves.  Any excuse for a break.”

Graves nods in appreciation, shutting the door behind himself.  “If you were one of my aurors, I’d tell you to pack in for the night.  We have a policy in my department, no one besides myself here past nine unless someone’s life is at stake.”

Newt smiles ruefully.  “In that case, perhaps I’d like to be an auror after all.”

“You must take care of yourself, Mr. Scamander,” Graves says, and he’s close enough now to lean across the desk and place a hand on Newt’s arm.

Newt pauses.  The touch, he must admit, feels good – it’s been far too long since he’s taken the time to relax with another person.  But is Graves really offering…?

“I’m afraid I’ve always been better at taking care of others, than myself,” he responds carefully.

Graves smiles, and there’s a heat growing in his eyes.  “Perhaps you need someone to look after you.”

Newt swallows, his heart beating a little faster at the possibility.  “I – yes. Perhaps.”

That seems to be all the invitation Graves needs.  He rounds the desk and squeezes Newt’s shoulders, caresses his neck, before cupping his jaw and lifting his head up for a kiss.  His lips are soft and hungry all at once, and it’s wonderful.

In moments he has Newt up out of his chair, clearing away the papers on the desk with a quick flick of his wand so he can lift Newt onto it, lavishing kisses down his throat.  Newt spreads his thighs so that Graves can step between them, bodies pressed close together. Graves grinds his hips forward, rubbing against Newt through their clothes and groaning with the sensation, and Newt can feel the bulge of him.

Newt tips his head back and lets himself moan when Graves nibbles at his collar bone, basking in the sudden pleasure – it feels so good to be touched and kissed and caressed, and Merlin, what did he do to earn a midnight rendezvous with Director Graves?

Graves’ hands rest on his sides, stroking him through the thin fabric of his shirt and making him press forward for more before his hands start to explore, stroking down over his thighs, up to his chest, and oh – his thumbs brush Newt’s nipples, and he goes soft in Graves’ arms.  He’s always been weak for that, always craved to be touched there.

Graves notices, and he chuckles.  “You like that,” he says, voice dark, and Newt can only nod.  He does. Graves indulges him, rubbing his thumbs in deep, slow circles which make his spine melt until he gently lays Newt out on the desk and unbuttons his shirt.

He lays his hands on Newt’s pectorals, squeezing, and it’s pure bliss.  Then he teases, the bastard, tracing his fingers in maddeningly wide circles which make Newt shake, until at last he spirals inwards to pet his nipples again.  He pinches, taking the hard little nubs between his thumb and forefinger and rolling them gently, and Newt tosses his head side to side, pushing his chest up for more.  He wants to beg Graves never to stop.

Graves finds a steady rhythm, rolling his hips against Newt’s while his fingers work his nipples; squeezing and then rubbing deep, deep into the muscle of his chest, until Newt’s spine melts and he’s coming apart at the seams.  He’s never had someone treat his nipples quite so well.

Whatever he did to earn this, he makes a vow to do it again.

Percival is drowsy when he wakes.  His head is full of a dense fog, causing his thoughts to get lost on the way to their destination, tapering off into nothing before they fully form.

He feels odd.  Or rather, he suspects he does.  It’s hard to tell, because he can’t seem to feel his body properly.  His limbs are heavy and slightly numb, requiring an enormous amount of effort to so much as twitch a muscle.  That seems very unusual, but he drifts away again, exhausted, before he can decide whether or not to be concerned about it.

When he next surfaces the fatigue has cleared somewhat, but the weight on his body has not.  Alarm tugs at the edge of his mind, but for some reason he can’t feel it properly. His heartbeat and breathing continue in the same slow, even rhythm.

With effort he opens his eyes, and when his vision clears he finds himself looking up the wooden beams of a cottage ceiling.

How odd.

His memories are disjointed, but he doesn’t recall being in a cottage.  No, he was… he was with his team, wasn’t he? They were investigating… something.  The effort to think of it makes his head pound.

He lies there a while longer, blinking at the ceiling, before it occurs to him he might like to look around the rest of the room.  He rolls his head to the side, but the sight which greets him doesn’t make his situation any clearer. The room is an eclectic clutter of potion bottles, books, parchment scraps, shelves stacked full of all manner of unidentifiable supplies and tables piled with delicate looking equipment.  In the middle of it all is a young man, sitting in his shirtsleeves with his red hair in a tousle as he scratches away with a quill.

Percival watches him write for a while, absently taking in his bowtie and freckled cheeks.  Perhaps this man knows how he got here.

After some time he seems to finish his notes, setting down his quill and rolling up the parchment, replacing it atop a stack on his desk.  He stretches, stands, and when he turns he notices Percival watching him.

“Ah!  Wonderful,” he says, though he doesn’t seem to be talking to Percival.  He makes a hasty grab for a notebook from his desk, flipping through pages as he approaches Percival’s beside.  “That’s…” he checks a tarnished pocket watch, snapping it closed again with a click. “…three hours.” He makes a note in the book. “Let’s get a look at you.”  Fingers press against his pulse point, taking the measure of him before Percival can get his wits about him to protest. “Depressed respiratory system…” Another note scribbled down.  “Let’s check your pupil dilation.”

“What?” Percival manages at last.  “What are you… where?”

The man pauses.  “We’re quite safe.  Tell me what you remember.”

Percival frowns, thinking.  He’d been with his team. They’d been on an assignment, something dangerous, not the usual mission.  It was urgent, he knows that. There’d been a… “Dragon?”

“A nesting mother.  You shouldn’t have gone near her, Eastern Greys are endangered.”  The man’s expression has darkened, and the alarm playing around Percival’s mind grows stronger.

“Too close… to the town.”

“No, the town was too close to the dragon.  What’s your name?”

“Graves.  Auror Percival Graves.”

“Merlin knows what you would have done if I hadn’t been there.”  The man looks away again, turning to retrieve something from the bedside table.

Percival’s mind churns.  Something must have gone terribly wrong with the assignment – had they even made it to the dragon?  Or had this man intercepted them? He has no memory of how he got here, only a growing certainty that if he stays it’s at his own peril.  He has to find a way to leave – the heaviness in his body isn’t natural.

“What’d you do to me?”

“Just this.”  Between his fingers the man holds a small vial of dark purple liquid, and Percival’s stomach goes cold.  “I figured out how to extract the venom, but I didn’t have a way to test it. I must say, the effects are already quite profound.”  He notices Percival’s distress, and shakes his head. “It’s for the best. I can’t have aurors running around hunting dragons.”

He’s been poisoned.  He’s been poisoned by a mad dragon enthusiast, oh god –

“It’s time to administer the next dose, hold still.”

“No, stop – please, don’t do this, I can’t – I – for the love of Merlin, please!”

His pleas make no difference.  The man leans in, pinches his nose shut, and pours the contents of the vial down his throat while Percival is unable to lift a hand to stop him.

His vision swims, his grasp on his surroundings becoming tenuous.

“No… I didn’t – s-stop this, please…”

He hears papers shuffling, then groans at a sudden full body chill as the blanket covering him is yanked away.  He notices with a detached interest that it leaves him naked.

“I’m going to examine you, please be quiet now.”

Percival has little choice but to obey.  The protests he tries to voice get lost before they leave his lips, swept away by the drug.

The man inspects and documents every inch of him, checking everything from his heartbeat to whether he can raise his left arm.  He can’t, it turns out – the best he can manage is a weak twitch, which is quickly noted down. His hands find Percival’s torso, palpating his abdomen, his stomach – and then pressing down sharply on his lower belly.

It takes Percival a moment to understand what the warmth between his legs means, and why his thighs feel wet.  When it clicks into place he feels sickened, whimpering something that sounds like oh god, but he can’t stop.  He can’t do anything but lay there as he pisses himself.

“Pronounced lack of muscle control,” the man mutters.  He presses down again, and though Percival wills it not to happen with everything he has, his bladder leaks a few last drops of piss to add to the puddle in the bed.  “Interesting.”

There’s nothing Percival can do but sob.

Day 1: Gramander

Chapter tags: Newt Scamander/Original Percival Graves, Fluff, Face-Sitting, Established Relationship, Kissing

Newt can tell immediately – it’s clear from the way Percival hunches his shoulders as he walks in and takes off his coat, how his eyebrows are drawn low when he sits down and picks up the paper, the distracted way he returns Newt’s kiss.  Percival is grumpy.

He resists all of Newt’s attempts at conversation, picks at his dinner, and won’t even let Oscar the Occamy cheer him up.

When they finally retire to bed Percival huffs, pulls the blanket over himself, and rolls to face the wall.  Newt just shakes his head and scoots in next to him, wrapping his arms around his difficult yet adorable husband.

“Ah, love.  Let yourself relax for a moment, hmm?  Don’t make yourself miserable.”

“I’m not miserable,” Percival says, and Newt has to hold back a snort of amused disbelief.

“Come here.”  Newt coaxes Percival to roll over, kissing up his neck and jaw until he reaches his stubborn lips.  After a moment Percival relents and lets himself be kissed, even letting himself enjoy it a little.

Just a little.

Newt gives it his all – nibbles on Percival’s earlobe just the way he likes, slides his hand between them to stroke his cock and rub his thumb over the head, fits his hand gently around his throat – all things which on any ordinary day would make Percival melt in his arms and beg, but today only elicit shallow breathing and little groans.  Percival’s mind is still elsewhere.

Newt has had enough.  “Sit up, I want to try something.  You’ll like it,” he says to Percival’s dubious expression.  

He can tell that Percival doesn’t really believe him, but he moves how Newt tells him to all the same; kneeling up near the head of the bed, thighs slightly spread.  “Newt, it’s late,” he starts, breaking off in surprise when Newt lays down on the bed behind him and slides up until his head is situated between his legs. “What – ?”

“Shh,” Newt admonishes, and without further ceremony he grips Percival’s hips and guides him down within reach of his mouth.

The noise Percival makes when Newt presses his tongue to his rim is something between a yelp and a moan.  Newt grins against him, swirling the tip of his tongue against that little opening and enjoying the sounds Percival makes above him.

“Ohh, what – what are you – god, don’t stop -”

Newt has no intention of stopping.  He laves Percival’s hole with long, flat strokes of his tongue, suckling, kissing, licking, on and on until Percival is gripping the headboard for support, thighs shaking as Newt’s wet tongue explores him so intimately.

When Newt presses his tongue up, in, and Percival’s begging trails off into a series of broken moans, he has the satisfaction of knowing he’s well and truly driven the thoughts from his head.

UNF~ The way Newt is holding his neck, I can’t even – bless.

Newt sat atop the grand meeting table of the conference room Percival had been stuck in all day and tilted his head innocently, eyes big and his smile small. Percival set his folder aside and turned to face the redhead, somewhat sheepish.

“I apologize I missed our… lunch date. The meeting wasn’t supposed to run over, let alone well past dinner. You must be rather cross with me–”

“Cross,” Newt purred, kicking his heels cutely from the table. “An interesting word to use, given the situation.”

Graves sighed and Newt quickly waved him off with a smile.

“I have food in my case, love, it was hardly an inconvenience. Not as tasty by far, as you can imagine – stored blood rarely is. But I’m fine. I went years without fresh meals. A few hours late is hardly a problem.”

Graves sighed, relief deflating the guilt from his shoulders, and walked forward until he was standing just in front of the magizoologist.

“Still, I hate missing dates. I gave you my word I’d be available and I wasn’t. I’m sorry.”

Newt took him in. The exhausted angle of his shoulders, the remorse that slackened his face and drew his brow tight, and quickly raised his hands to cup that tired, handsome face.

“You didn’t sleep again,” Newt said softly.

Graves hummed.

“Did you eat?”

Graves flinched, just slightly, and Newt chuckled.

“Ah,” he said. “Well then. Let’s get you home,” he purred, drawing the man’s face down to look at him. “We’ll get you fed, bathed and tucked away…”

He drawled each word, each syllabus like honey and just as soothing, and immediately Graves found himself melting into those hands even as Newt slid from cradling his jaw to loosening the director’s tie and picking the buttons of his collar. 

“We’ll get you squared away,” he purred, opening that collar to pet the man’s neck, one hand winding around to grip its back comfortingly while the other steadied the tired director at the hip. He leaned in, lips soft and whisper light against his throat as he spoke, and said, “And then we’ll get me fed, and I think you’ll have no problem sleeping after that. What do you think?” 

And once he had finished his question, he laved a long, hot strip up the column of Graves’ throat before following it with a few kitten licks as Graves trembled in his grasp.

“That sounds blissful,” Graves rasped.

Against his throat, Newt smiled.

So I know you said that the grindelgraves one was a true pwp, but I am curious to see what happens when Percival’s heat ends in the gramander one :)

I’ve had this sitting in my drafts forever – sorry it’s taken me like a decade to post it, I kept trying to put down some of my thoughts on what happens next without it turning into a full on part two, but then it just… kept turning into… a part two.  So I gave in, and now I’m writing it.  Oops?

Random observation: ever wonder why there isn’t more use of the imperius curse in hp smut? it seems calling out for wonderful abuse. I mean we know overuse of crucio will permanently damage you, but will overuse of imperius leave u permanently suggestible? I can think of wonderful scenarios for that…

nearfisc:

mercurial-tenacity:

THAT’S AN EXCELLENT QUESTION.  I have…two? stories that use the imperius curse, but there’s so much untapped potential.  I guess part of it for me is that it can almost seem… too easy?  I like a bit of struggle I guess.

BUT – the potential side effects, omg, I hadn’t thought about that.  I’m imagining that after he’s captured, Grindelwald keeps Graves under constantly.  And when he’s finally found, finally saved, he’s… different.  Pliant, almost vacant, unable to make decisions, his will broken.

Or maybe it builds up, almost like an addiction.  It feels so good to be under the curse, blissful and easy, and eventually, if it goes on long enough, you’ll do anything to keep feeling that way.

Maybe – using Grindelgraves as an example again because that’s the easiest scenario to hand – after he’s rescued Grave develops increasingly unhealthy coping mechanisms trying to get himself back to that glorious blank state.

Or perhaps after using the curse for so long, it barely takes any effort for the caster.  The victim’s mind is open and pliant, used to being controlled and manipulated until all it takes is a suggestion with a bit of magic behind it.  After Graves is rescued his recovery seems to go well, with no more lasting effects than you’d expect from a trauma.  He’s changed by his experience, but he’s still himself.  Until he sees Grindelwald again, months or even years later, and his mind still remembers so well how to be receptive.  All it takes is a little push and he falls right back under Grindelwald’s control, forever weak to the man who ruined his mind.

Long story short – I am TOTALLY HERE for the imperius curse causing permanent, irreversible damage and I would like MORE EXAMPLES of how it ruins people’s minds please 😀

Fucking hell all of this sounds so up my alley in terms of fic theme taste. I love every permutation of this idea, but especially-

“Pliant, almost vacant, unable to make decisions, his will broken.”

This aspect is simply ripe for some good old fashioned Gramander fix-it fic (on the lighter side) or slightly more heart-jabbing hurtcomfort on the darker side. Newt being by Graves’ side and reminding him that he has the power to make decisions, when he needs to be reminded?

Or Newt, providing that firm hand telling him what to do because Graves needs it? Does Graves ever get better? I love this.

“Green or blue?”

Newt holds out two ceramic plates, a little worn and chipped, but nice enough.  Dinner is almost ready and the rich smell of stew fills his little cabin along with the soft calls of his creatures as they settle in for the night, combining to make a soothing chorus.

Percival looks between the two plates, a small crease forming in his brow.  His eyes move back and forth over them before glancing up to Newt as though hoping his can spot the answer on his face, but Newt just waits patiently.  Percival bites his lip.  His fists clench and unclench in his lap, blinking as he looks at his choices.

“Blue,” he says after a long moment, and though it’s not a question it isn’t a statement either.

Newt sets the blue plate in front of him on the table and turns to bring over the rest of the food.

He always chooses blue.

He’s doing better.  The first time Newt asked him that question – after they’d found him, after his injuries had healed and he’d been released from the hospital, once he’d finally been settled into Newt’s care – his eyes had gone blank and he hadn’t spoken for the rest of the night.

They talk a little over dinner, light conversation that won’t be too taxing for Percival.  Newt shares his latest news from Theseus, and Percival tells him about what Seraphina said during her visit after Newt had stepped out to tend to his creatures.

“Seraphina told me to start back at MACUSA soon,” he says, taking a bite of stew.

“Oh?” Newt encourages.  He already knows, of course.  Seraphina had informed him of her plan last week, but he wants to hear Percival tell him.

“She’ll have me reclassify the mission archives.”

The thought makes Newt ache a little.  Percival Graves, assigned to file papers under direct supervision, according to a system someone else designed.  But as Seraphina had argued, it isn’t good for him to be hidden away in Newt’s case all day, not forever.

“What do you think of that?”

Lines of confusion cross Percival’s face.  “I don’t… I…”  He looks up at Newt silently, chewing his lip.

“Are you looking forward to going back?” Newt tries, but Percival doesn’t speak.  He just looks at Newt with those big, empty eyes, the expression draining out of his face, and Newt knows what that means.  He’ll trying again tomorrow, and maybe then…

“Let’s get you to bed, okay?”

“Yes sir,” Percival says tonelessly, and the shards of Newt’s heart cut just a little deeper into his chest.



I couldn’t resist writing a quick thing.  Paging @thegaypumpingthroughyourveins XD
