Summary
Turns out Hermann was the touchy-feely kind of drunk.
Newton had never seen Hermann so much as tipsy before, impressions and fragments of memories picked up through the drift notwithstanding. That had not prepared him for how clingy Hermann became once his blood alcohol level rose.
It was kind of cute.

Summary
Newton knew most people in the Shatterdome thought he was crazy. He knew he was just a teeny tiny bit unhinged—but he was pretty sure that he hadn’t been the “hallucinations” kind of crazy, at least not until his solo-drift. Since then, he’d been seeing random colours everywhere.
Not everywhere, exactly. Only where there were numbers or letters—which was almost everywhere, but only almost. The colours weren’t exactly random, either. Each letter and every single-digit number corresponded to a specific colour and those didn’t change but were consistent.

Summary
Newton stood up, heard the chair tip and fall on the ground behind him. That sound echoed, exploded, like a roar—
Electricity shot through him. The world tilted or maybe that was him. He was tilting—falling—
Newton lost consciousness just before he hit the floor.
As a result of the two drifts with a kaiju, Newton develops epilepsy

Summary
“So I’m not…” Bilbo began and was surprised to hear his voice shake. He swallowed hard and folded his hands together tightly, pressing his fingertips against his knuckles to help him focus. “I’m not… broken or bad?”
“Of course not!” came from the others, the ‘Ri brothers and the two princes being the loudest.
“You’re not broken or bad,” Thorin said firmly, but kindly. “You are Bilbo Baggins of Hobbiton and you are the fourteenth member of this company. You are you.”

Summary
Newton looked at Hermann for several long, agonisingly slow seconds, then seemed to force the words out of his mouth before he could change his mind, “For ten years, the only times I was in physical contact with another person for more than a few seconds were when the Precursors brought one-night stands into the apartment and had sex with them.”

Summary
When Newt next opens his eyes, it’s to the searing heat of a hand against his shoulder.
He flinches away, of course—he doesn’t know what to do with physical touch after so long without it.
And he certainly doesn’t know what the fuck to do with a touch that is gentle.
When was the last time someone touched him tenderly? When was the last time he danced with anyone save his ghosts?
Newt is feverish and aching and filled with so much grief that he doesn’t know if he’ll ever be able to carry his own ghosts any further than this fucking toilet seat, with the orange acid and the gleaming porcelain and the cheap tiles beneath his knees.
And when Newt looks up, he thinks that it’s one of the dreams that the precursors once infected his brain with. The dreams of Hermann Gottlieb showing up by his side, stepping foot inside of that penthouse apartment in Shanghai, and sweeping him off of his feet and taking him away from that wretched fucking place.
(After being released from prison, Newt finds himself under probation as Hermann's lab assistant. When he gets sick, he thinks no one will care- but he will find himself sorely mistaken.)

Summary
“You shall fight them,” Hermann orders, and his voice brokers no argument.
Hermann’s fingers slip beneath the chain around Newt’s collar. Hermann shall dig his nails in. He shall not let the precursors have Newt. They will not stake their claim on someone who has only ever been Hermann’s.
And Hermann yanks.
(The mentions of Alice over the years blistered, Hermann wanting to respond, wanting to bite back, but he knew that he had to respect Newt’s decisions, no matter how much he wanted to grab Newt and press him up against a wall and bite his mouth and demand that Newt tell him in what fucking world Newt thought that Hermann would ever let him get away from him—
He should have. He should have done that. He should have ripped open those fucking suits and peeled Newt open and marked up every inch of his skin, if it meant that Newt exactly where he belonged—free and adored and his, not some fucking aliens’.)
The collar chain breaks, the links hitting the ground with clinks and clatters, as the drift shudders. As an inhuman, strangled sound echoes from Newt’s throat.
(When Newt tells Hermann that he is not strong enough to fight the precursors, Hermann refuses to take that.)

A Study in Involuntary Cross-Species Relations, by Dr. Hermann Gottlieb: or, how how Marsha M. Lineham saved the multiverse by Macremae

Summary
Hermann wets his bottom lip with the tip of his tongue, taking this in for the briefest of moments, before his notoriously whip-sharp (and for good reason) mind collects this data, sorts it, and comes to the conclusion of an ingenious plan.
Newton is not yet lost. Hermann is still his partner. And not only have the Precursors drastically counted their chickens before they’ve hatched, they made one, fatal, supremely arrogant flaw: they’ve revealed that to Hermann.
Or, the Precursors bank on Hermann's emotional repression just a little too hard, and face the (extremely well-researched and therapeutic) consequences.
