#ask prompts
@treagus sent me a set of through a DM but Tumblr did…well, what it usually does, so I’m forced to respond to her this way. Stay awesome, Tumblr.
So here, have some WIP Scamander/Goldstein Christmas-time fluff. Yes, I know Tina is Jewish but I just had to do something with this idea in the aftermath of CoG, so…
—–
The electric fairy lights paint the dingy walls in watercolor shadows when Newt steps through the basement door, brightening his tiny flat. He smiles to himself and toes off his battered work boots, only to come up short when Tina turns from her place on the couch to acknowledge him, a blue light reflecting off the darkest part of her eyes, making them flash.
“Hi,” she greets him quietly, lifting her coffee mug before blushing down at her lap.
“Hello,” Newt manages without stammering, drinking in his fill of the delicate curve of her cheek, the graceful line of her neck before snapping himself out of it and shuffling across the room to the tree.
Newt tries very hard not to dwell on the fact that she’s wearing his pajamas, the ones he had loaned her nearly three months ago, in the immediate aftermath of Paris and the heartbreak it had wrought. The light mustard-colored silk looks better on her than they ever did on him, and he places his gifts beneath the tree — heartened to find a goodish pile already there, in a variety of colorful papers — before reverently touching one of the strands of popcorn and berries they had strung together the previous evening, enhanced by her shy smile as they lingered over tea and delicate little sandwiches.
“Hey, Newt,” Jacob calls from the kitchen in a knowing tone, snapping Newt from his reverie. He looks up quickly, flushing with presumed guilt, only to meet Jacob’s twinkling eyes. “You wanna help me with these eggs? I think your brother’s a bit lost, here.”
“I’m not lost,” Theseus grumbles, peering with obvious confusion at a bent fork. “I’m only just…aren’t these for eating?”
Newt snorts despite himself before standing. He dips his head to find Tina watching him with a tiny, secretive smile, and it lifts him enough that he can’t be entirely sure his feet touch the floor the three steps it takes him to pluck the fork from Theseus’ fingers. “They’re also good for beating eggs,” he tells him wryly, holding out a hand for the extravagantly rose-spangled apron that had been a Christmas gift from their mother before donning it.
“Suit yourself,” Theseus rumbles, chucking Newt on the shoulder before brushing past him to pour a cup of tea. “I never was any bloody good in the kitchen. In fact, Leta…” he trails off, a familiar sadness darkening his eyes before he shrugs it off with visible effort, rallying a lukewarm smile. “Leta, she used to say it was a minor miracle I could manage toast without burning the flat down.”
“Looks like Newt here got all the kitchen skills, then,” Jacob says with an understanding smile for Theseus before winking broadly. “Guess your talents lie elsewhere, eh, Theseus?”
Newt looks up from where he’s cracking eggs into a bowl. “That’s not quite fair,” he interjects quietly, heartened when Jacob and Theseus turn to listen to him. “I’d argue we both received those other ‘talents’.”
Jacob brays laughter at that, shoulders shaking as he portions off the spicy-smelling dough and covers the baking pan with a tea towel. Theseus even cracks a true smile, shrugging self-deprecatingly before nabbing a slice of toast from the awaiting pile. “I think that’s more about my little brother than I’d really like to know,” he says with a chuckle, “but I’m sure there’s a woman out there who could appreciate his…talents.”
Newt’s eyes go like a magnet to Tina, who is fingering the afghan covering her lap and watching them all with a species of simple joy he hasn’t seen on her in…Merlin, months. Her eyes meet his, prompting a familiar and pleasant tingle to surge from the crown of his head to the tip of his toes. He manages a weak, “Yes, perhaps,” and maintains poignant eye contact until Theseus snaps his fingers beneath his nose, breaking the temporary spell.
“Oi, Newt, get your mind back to London now, or do you actually prefer your eggs crunchy?”
“Bugger off, Theseus,” Newt sighs. He digs his elbow none-too-gently into his older brothers ribs, earning a laugh, and sets about digging out the shards of shells as Jacob and Theseus flow around him, forcing himself to ignore the tidal pull of Tina’s regards as he focuses on helping to get the morning started off on the right foot.

-Fantasy World. This place runs on magic and is home to fantastic creatures such as dragons and sentient slime
⚙️-Distant Future. A time where technology beyond our wildest imagination exists and trips into the stars are normal
-Today. A world that’s very similar to the one we are living in now…
-The Past. A world only heard about in textbooks and stories. Chances are you won’t have much access to technology… good luck getting home!
☄️-World Beyond the Stars. You are trapped in a completely alien world. Except, in this case, I suppose you’re the alien here…!
⚗️-Alchemy World. This place might be similar to the Fantasy World or Today, except alchemy never really went away and is widely used for many reasons!

-Battle Royale World. The inhabitants of this world are extremely aggressive and hellbent on killing you on sight! Guns, traps, and other weapons lie about, everyone is competing to be the last survivor! But what happens after that…?!
-Apocalypse World. Everything has fallen apart. What remains of the dwindling population are constantly threatened with extinction by something very dangerous!
-Mirror World. This place looks very similar to what you’re used to, except everyone you know is… different. Good people have gone bad, and the bad have turned a new leaf!
-Ruffian World. Everywhere is a sprawling city. Graffiti, stray animals, and a foul stench are ever present here. It might be hard to find an honest soul, if there was one to begin with.
-Wilderness World. Everywhere is an endless forest, host to many biomes and animals- both friendly or deadly. You might find a camp somewhere, if you’re lucky.
⁉️-Amnesia World. Everyone who comes here forgets who they are, no exceptions.
-Cooking World. Everyone is obsessed with cooking and baking. And they’re extremely competitive about it, too.
-Department Store World. Everything here looks like a regular old department store, or shopping mall, or supermarket, what have you. But there’s no exits. You’re trapped in a Capitalist hell…
-Florida World. You have been banished to Florida for your crimes. You have one objective: Survive.
-Australia World. You made it out of Florida World, didn’t you? Congratulations! You’ve advanced to Australia World! Objective: Survive.
-Spooky World. Despite its frightening inhabitants, dreary atmosphere, and way WAY too many cemeteries, everyone here just wants to pull innocent pranks and have fun!
-Gift World. This serene world is covered in a blanket of fresh snow at all times. Lit by glittering multicolored lights at night, the people here care only about gratitude and family. Might be hard if you’re a complete stranger, but everyone here is super nice! … right?
-FREE SPACE. Make your own world!!
