He was empty in a heartbeat, Newt shifted away, so slick it didn't even sting. Felt gutted, left hollow, aching somewhere much deeper than any sex act could have inflicted.A short interlude, set sometime in the year of engagement in 'What the Water Gave Me (I Took and Gladly)'

Summary
For the 2020 whumptober prompt, I've Got You: Support | Carrying | Enemy to Caretaker
He didn't move. Didn't blink. Barely breathed, but did it steadily, rapid little puffs too calm for panic.
He laid still and thought of nothing.
A short prelude, set after Holding On and before What the Water Gave Me (I Took and Gladly) and Stones (Pockets Full), to explain Percival's verbal trigger.

Summary
For the 2020 whumptober prompt: Where Did Everybody Go? “Don’t Say Goodbye” | Abandoned | Isolation
The oaths, of course, were a double-edged sword. Break them, breathe a single word of his people, anything that could give a fairy-hunter or bride-seeker the scent, and the Chief would know. He was abandoned for the sake and safety of hundreds— breaking his oaths would be a final warning: run.
He closed his eyes, and resigned himself to wait a little longer.
A short prelude set after Lay Me Down (Overflow) and before What the Water Gave Me (I Took and Gladly).

Summary
2020 Whumptober prompt: Breathe In Breathe Out: Delayed Drowning | Chemical Pneumonia | Oxygen
“You’re warm, too,” Percival murmured, pressing a hand to his forehead, while Newt focused on drawing breath through a throat that felt like fire and leaden lungs. “How much water did you say you swallowed?”
“Don’t tease me,” Newt said, and then coughed ferociously for a while longer, hating how every heave of his shoulders made the worry lines in Percival’s face seem to carve a shade deeper.
Set after What the Water Gave Me (I Took and Gladly)

Summary
Written for the 2020 Whumptober prompt: Is Something Burning?: Branding | Heat Exhaustion | Fire
He wasn't sick— rarely caught ill, but even when he did, he knew what a fever was to a Selkie; miserable, but not unrelentingly baking hot. He had sweated through his clothes, had sweated enough that he could hardly smell anything but the misery of being too hot and foul with it, unable to drink or wash with no water and cords dug into wrists and ankles. The Finfolk weren’t meant for unrelenting heat, and with his coat stolen away it only made the trembling itch of need for the safety of the water worse.
He was dizzy with the heat and the stink of cigar smoke long before Gellert got to the point of it all
Set prior to Lay Me Down (Overflow).

Summary
Written for the Whumptober 2020 prompt: I Did Not See That Coming: Blackmail | Dirty Secret | Wrongfully Accused
“You wizards, you have, what are they--unbreakable oaths?”
“F--Fidelius, the Fidelius charm, yes.”
“We have better, hm?” It wasn’t shocking — not after three months— how cold and flat a selkie’s eyes could go, warrior and predator and hunted creature all wrapped up in one exquisite skin. He’d learned to stop shivering under it, but hadn't quite managed to quell the initial twitch.
