Summary
The first thing [Newton] does when he gets to his office, smarting from the needle and high on endorphins, is email the eccentric mathematician in Cambridge, the other Cambridge a non-creature-infested ocean away, with whom he’d been corresponding for a while and whom his colleagues have begun to call Newt’s Internet Boyfriend.
Hermann, Newton types, tell me you’ve crawled out from under your rock for long enough to realize your disdain for monster movies is now scientifically invalid.
Please don’t call me that, Gottlieb writes back. I’m already working on it.

"You needn't ask permission," says Hermann, wryly [...]. "I've already given it."
"Yeah, but we're in my mom's living room, and that's kind of weird. Just thought I'd check."

Summary
You seemed sad in your last message. I couldn’t tell why, so I went digging. Please don’t do the virtual equivalent of hitting me with your cane, okay, but I searched the UK papers and found the obit. Jesus, I’m sorry. I can tell you were close. Opposite of me and Mom.
Enough with the gut-spilling. Stuff your face and chug that last glass. Elijah won’t mind.
From my seder to yours,
Dr. Newton GeiszlerSeries

Summary
"I had no idea grapefruit could function as a verb," [Newton] says in reverent, drunken awe.
"Oh, just you wait," says Tendo, taking the video off pause. "It gets better and better."

Summary
Newton fetches the milk as he's told, slamming the fridge shut. Hermann's lack of people skills spoke volumes to his pain.
"Anything else, Your Crankiness?"
"Yes," Hermann says, finally snapping off the square, and folds over the wrapper before placing the rest of the candy bar in Daniel's jack-o'-lantern. "Come over here, and don't forget my tea."
Newton comes over to the table with both of their mugs and makes sure at least a little bit slops out of both when he sets them down.

Summary
“I didn’t wanna pry last night, but, like,” Newton tries, gesturing futilely, “what happened?”
Ming takes another petulant spoonful of porridge, and Newton is glad Hermann’s still asleep.
“She said you didn’t pay me enough for house-sitting,” Ming whispers. “I gave her all of it, every penny, and she told me to get out. To go back where I belong.”

Summary
“Oh jeez,” Newton mutters, mouth full, brushing his hand off on his blazer. “Is this for real?”
“Your poor manners, or the fact that this song is of sentimental import?” Hermann asks snidely.
“Both, Hermann, and fuck you,” Newton says, whirling Hermann onto the dance floor. “I can’t lead for shit, but I’m sure gonna try.”
“Sweep me off my feet,” Hermann murmurs, suddenly too giddy to argue. “I’ll take over if I must.”

Summary
“I might've said that to you after you did it,” Hermann whispers. “After I found you bleeding, after...”
“Yeah, but you didn't,” Newton points out, relief pooling in his gut. “You took care of me instead.”
Hermann nods ferociously, as if to reassure them both that the statement is true. “I did, didn't I.”
“Fucking PPDC,” Newton spits, nuzzling Hermann's hair. “Might as well call it PTSD, am I right?”
