Happy Birthday Tina!

Hello there! Today's one shot is sponsored by @neighborhood-newtina-reblogger, a tumblr that I greatly admire. Okay, it's not technically sponsored by the blog, but it did provide the prompt/idea for this one shot, which I will include at the very end in case you want to know what it is. Also, the fanart above belongs to @sydsketch and partially inspires my fanfic as well. Don't want to put the prompt at the beginning and spoil the story, so without further ado, I hope you enjoy this little piece of my Newtina heart. Oh, and happy birthday Tina! ☺️

3rd POV

"Oh, Newt. She's perfect!" Tina exclaimed happily, a smile brightening up her usually tense features. It wasn't that the American witch held a grudge against smiling or having fun; quite the opposite, in fact. She was so used to being responsible that her default look was to come across as a professional who took her job seriously. When she was with Newt, however, she couldn't help but smile. His light-hearted nature simply had a way of making her feel like she could let her guard down and didn't have to worry about what kind of person Newt was. Having fought alongside him in the fight against Grindelwald, Tina knew she could trust Newt. It was a good thing because he had just given her a creature to call her own.

"Really? That's wonderful to hear. I hoped you would like her but I wasn't completely sure if you would be interested in-" Newt was quickly interrupted by Tina's warm words of gratitude. "I love her, Newt. Thank you," she replied. Her eyes sparkled with a light reminiscent of the creature that currently rested in its small glass case. "What's her name?" Tina asked softly as she admired the speckled salamander. Newt blushed before replying, "Well, I thought you might like to name her seeing as she's yours." Both pairs of eyes connected for the briefest of moments.

"Of course!" Tina blurted, although she soon regained her composure. "I'm not quite sure where to start, but I'm sure we can think of something." Newt's tender smile at Tina's inclusion of the word 'we' went unnoticed for the most part, yet the tone of their environment was clearly evident. It was nearly impossible to miss the delicate care each person felt for the other, so alive and tangible was it. The silence that settled in during certain moments of the conversation were not uncomfortable, but peaceful instead. Surprisingly enough, Newt was the next one to speak up.

"Keegan," he uttered cryptically. Tina tilted her head to the right by a dozen degrees. "Who?" she wondered aloud, her sharp eyes fixed on Newt. The famous magizoologist remained quiet for several seconds until Tina cleared her throat. "Oh, I'm sorry. I was simply suggesting Keegan as a name, but I understand if you don't like it. She's yours, so feel free to choose whatever name you feel is best."

Tina lowered her gaze to the ground, then extended her head upward. "The name's fine, Newt. And I want you to be included in the naming process, trust me," she said with reassurance in her voice. Newt smiled. "What about Thea? She's the Greek goddess of light, which is fitting since salamanders feed off of fire, right?" Tina inquired. She waited for a response from Newt, but he appeared not to have heard her. Beginning to wonder if something was wrong with him, Tina repeated the end of her previous sentence. "Right, Newt?"

The man in question displayed signs of life after what seemed like forever. His nose was scrunched as if he had caught a whiff of rotting maggots while his eyes blinked ferociously. What was going on? Tina prompted Newt to explain his behavior, although it took some serious persuading. "The name sounds a bit like... well... like Theseus, my brother." Tina nodded her head in agreement and decided to move on. The last thing she wanted was for her new companion to remind Newt of his older brother.

"Perhaps you might consider Idris. It's Welsh and can mean 'fiery' depending on the language." Newt explained gently. His voice was rich and full of childlike wonder, much to Tina's delight. It was rare to find such a kindred spirit in a world where brute strength and power was often congratulated. Tina tried not to let her emotions become too obvious as she lovingly murmured, "I think Idris is a lovely name. Thank you, Newt." Once again, both pairs of eyes connected and lingered; the result was pure fascination and ultimately love.

With their eyes still fixed on each other, Tina closed the space between them. Her long, thin arms wrapped themselves around the middle of Newt's back. Much like their prolonged glances, this embrace was personal and private, something that was special between them. Tina was keenly aware of Newt's reservations regarding the hug, so she made sure to take baby steps while reassuring Newt at the same time. Her fingers brushed lightly against Newt's back, the warmth from her hands radiating through his pale blue shirt. With a great amount of hesitance and care, Tina tightened her grip on Newt. Hopefully he wouldn't feel uncomfortable; that was the last thing Tina wanted. Nevertheless, she held on to him, refusing to let go just yet.

Nearly a minute had passed before Newt reciprocated the hug. Unbeknownst to Tina, his eyes watered and a huge grin spread across his face. Both sets of arms rested gently on the other's back, a sign of peace and acceptance. It didn't take long for Tina to pull Newt in closer, more confident this time. Any lingering doubt as to whether or not Newt would perceive such intimate physical contact to be desirable was gone. She knew that he would understand just as she had learned to understand the roundabout way he comforted and complimented her.

With an overflowing heart, Newt Scamander enveloped Tina in his arms; pure, sentimental emotion surrounded them. Every part of him wanted nothing more than to freeze that moment and remember it forever. Not only was it rare for Newt to desire physical contact, but it was also rare for him to feel so content as a result of it. In Tina, Newt found appreciation and compassion. Despite miscommunication being a continuous issue between them, the two old souls always managed to make things right. If Newt was honest, Tina completed him — to a certain extent. He hadn't felt that his life was 'less than' without her, but he did notice a change whenever she was around, whether physically or in Newt's thoughts. She was someone who helped him restore his jaded view of humanity, and for that, Newt was grateful.

The embrace continued for several more minutes, Newt mentally recording what it felt like to be so close to Tina.

The scent of her hair, the touch of her hands. Newt was so mesmerized that he even dared to lift Tina off the ground, just a couple inches, and spin her very gently. It was instinct and had occurred before he could stop himself. Never before had he allowed his emotions to come off so strongly in the presence of another human being, and he had to admit: it felt freeing.

As for Tina, she experienced similar sentiments during their embrace. Mind racing, heart soaring... Since when did Newt display such sudden outbursts of affection? While Tina was slightly confused by this, she didn't question it because of her elation. If Newt was comfortable enough to be so physically close with her, she took it as a sign of growth and was proud of him. Each second that passed served as a reward earned by the energy both had spent in order to fight against the evil forces that threatened wizards and muggles alike. After years of fighting, Newt and Tina were given a moment of reprieve. A moment to be still, but more importantly, to be happy.

For Newt, happiness took the form of feeding his creatures. This was nothing new, but having Tina by his side — her eyes full of adoration — made the event much more enjoyable. For Tina, growing closer to Newt served as her main source of happiness, although she also happened to find it in the pursuit of wizardkind's most elite criminals. After all, being an Auror was an important part of Tina's life. The fact that her devotion to justice nearly managed to get her killed was unfortunate, yet Tina had put it in the past where it belonged. She needed her job because it allowed her to protect innocent lives, and that was something Tina would never stop pursuing. Whether it was a sideways smile or a lengthy yet tender hug, both Newt and Tina were fond of the little things in life as well as each other. Nothing, not even Grindelwald, could take those feelings away from them.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Author's Note: Below is the prompt for the above one shot ⬇️⬇️

I want Tina to initiate newtina’s first embrace. And I want it to happen in a happy context. I want her to realize that maybe Newt isn’t bold enough just yet to make that move, so she takes control and latches onto him. It won’t be like when Theseus hugged him, arms and back stiff the whole time. It will be at first, while he takes a few seconds to process what’s happening. In those few seconds, Tina is fully aware he’s processing the situation, so she holds him even tighter to reassure him that yes, she’s here. She wants this. She will wait. And once he finally accepts that, I want Newt to reciprocate her embrace with an enormous grin on his face (bonus points for misty eyes). I want him to wrap his arms around her back and tentatively return her gesture. Tina pulls even tighter to erase that last bit of questioning how far he should go. Then, Newt fully wraps her up in him, encasing her with his arms and body as completely as he can (bonus points for a little pick up and spin or something extra cute like that). And they stay like that for a while, just appreciating each other. Wordlessly processing their emotions. Surrendering to their feelings. Just being together like they want.

Post cog/Happy Birthday Teenie!

They are in the Hogwarts kitchens, eating for the first time since the rally.

Jacob's been passing around alcohol to put in their mugs. He's been raving about the pastries and other food that keeps appearing.

Newt has finally sat down across from her, Pest asleep in his jacket. He's nursing tea and slowly chewing, not that she's watching.

No she looks back down at her plate and keeps eating the eggs, remembering the last morning Queenie fixed her eggs and kissed her cheek bye. She drinks more alcohol tea, and sneaks more glances at Newt eating. Now he's animatedly talking about the Centaurs in the woods and their habitats to Jacob.

He's just got such a nice throat she's thought for two years. A nice everything really. She loves watching his freckles dance as he quietly talks. Her eyes raise up to his lips. His beautiful chapped lips as they make British vowels and create wonderful words of salamanders and not engaged. Her face gets red from that thought. Queenie would be having a hay day right now. How many nights did she tell her she was wrong? She jerks her gaze back to her empty plate, wishing for more eggs and not ready to think about Queenie yet.

Newts hand appears on her plate, spooning more eggs onto it. She glances up and smiles at him. The light really makes his hair look pretty and so soft. He's saying something but her poor brain has finally had it and she just nods while watching those precious lips say something.

She watches her hand through her alcohol buzz reach across and gently touch his lips. This was a great idea! Why hadn't she tried this before? Who cares if the table has gone eerily silent and that his face and neck are so red right now? Oh no everyone was watching. Move back hand! Move! He brings his hand up and gently takes hers, kissing her finger as he gently holds it.

Finally the others start talking again, exchanging money and food because Theseus won the bet. He's staring at her shoulder, still red but smiling too. She squeezes his hand, then pulls it to her and kisses it. Her world might be crap now but she made him smile and it was worth it.

Haha clearly not very good at art but i really felt like I had to do something for Tina's birthday and let's just say writing is not my forte

Anyways, happy birthday to Tina!

(I know that the paint smudged goddamn)

I honestly think Tina doesn't get enough appreciation. In crimes of grindelwald she was really kind of ignored, her character wasn't developed enough and I think that's why people look over her. One of my favourite things about her is how much she cares for Queenie, she acted a bit like a mother to her and while that's obvious in the first film, in the second film we see that she's started focusing on Credence more and perhaps too much as she doesn't notice the things Queenie begins to feel. With Credence, i think she sees a bit of herself and Queenie in him. He's very lost and doesn't have a family, he lacks love and that'd why she cares for him so much and almost sees herself as a mother figure towards him. I've seen people say that they dislike her because of the argument between her and Queenie, that she shouldn't have argued with Queenie over seeing Jacob - as much as i think she should've let Queenie see Jacob what people need to understand is that she did it out of care for her sister, she wanted to protect her and didn't want her arrested.

I adore her relationship with Newt, seriously newtina is the only thing getting me through 2020. We see a lot of the relationship on Newts side and how he feels about her but we don't see a lot of how she feels about him in the films however I think that in interviews Katherine helps us understand what she is feeling. Newt kind of opened her up a bit, she trusted him and really felt something towards him but when she thought he was marrying Leta, she began closing in on herself again and focusing on what she did best- her job, only for her to open up to the same person once again after they reunite. Her love for Newt is very obvious in the way she looks at him, even when she is trying to stay angry it's very obvious she's feeling hurt yet so admiration towards him. There's a deleted scene (which shouldn't of been deleted smh) in which Tina says she threw a drink at Achilles after he said he didn't like magical creatures. I think that shows exactly how she feels towards Newt. Even when she's trying to move on, find someone else and is on a date with someone else she can't stop thinking about him and compares the guy she's on a date with to Newt. She can't move on because she's too in love with him even if she doesn't know it or doesn't want to admit it.

Shes very different from the typical woman we would see in the 20s. Historically, this was after women got the vote (pretty sure it was in 1920 in America- correct me if I'm wrong) however a woman typically wouldn't be working as an auror (and wouldn't be so devoted to her career). The ideals would be for her to either stay at home or have a job that would be stereotypically for women. (Obviously I don't know how things looked like in the wizarding world, I don't know if there was that same lack of respect there was in the muggle world or not) I think the fact that she's so devoted to her career is amazing, she's very different from what women were supposed to be like and I think that's just fantastic.

I got these from @mauraleamy on Instagram, check them out!
