evandar: (Company of Wolves)
Title: Trapped
Author: Evandar
Fandom: Fantastic Beasts
Rating: PG
Warning: Slight dub-con
Pairing: Gellert Grindelwald/Newt Scamander
Disclaimer: I do not own Fantastic Beasts thank god and I am making no profit from this story.
Summary: Being the focus of Grindelwald’s attention is very much like being under the gaze of one of his more predatory beasts – although Newt can say with some degree of certainty that playing ‘catch the lumos charm’ with a Nundu feels infinitely safer than his current position.
AN: Help me, I tripped over GrindelNewt and can't get up. Written for [community profile] hogwarts365 Prompt 277 - insolence.



“Oh, such insolence.”

Newt peers up at mismatched eyes before letting his gaze skitter away once more. Long fingers curl around his jaw, forcing his chin up – his habitual avoidance of eye contact has become a rebellion rather than anything else. He wants to pull away, but trapped between an alley wall and a Dark Lord, he has nowhere to go even if he could force his limbs to move. Being the focus of Grindelwald’s attention is very much like being under the gaze of one of his more predatory beasts – although Newt can say with some degree of certainty that playing ‘catch the lumos charm’ with a Nundu feels infinitely safer than his current position.

Grindelwald’s breath is warm and sweet. He smells faintly of honey, and it probably would have been comforting on anyone else. As it is, Newt can feel the ebb and flow of his magic under his skin; a steady pulse of dark and cold. If he closed his eyes and pretended hard enough, he might be able to imagine that he’s in Tibet again, feeling the biting chill of wind on his face and neck, but he knows that he won’t do it. He can’t. Gellert Grindelwald is impossible to ignore even if he very much wants to.

“Look at me, darling,” Grindelwald murmurs. His thumb strokes an uneven pattern over Newt’s skin. Newt startles – his gaze snaps to that handsome face once more when he realises that Grindelwald is tracing his freckles. A smile twitches at the corner of Grindelwald’s mouth.

“There,” he says. “Better.”

It takes far more effort than it should to unstick his tongue from the roof of his mouth and ask what the Dark Lord wants with him. He’s proud that he manages to only stutter a little; that, now that he’s made eye contact, he manages to keep it.

At least, until Grindelwald leans too close and honey-sweet lips press to the corner of Newt’s mouth.

“You, darling,” Grindelwald whispers against his skin. “I want you.” The hand wrapped around Newt’s wrist flexes, and the one at his jaw moves lower to caress his throat. Newt swallows.

Merlin, but he wants Grindelwald too.

Ooooh! How I want to like this. (Your writing is wonderful as always THAT is not the question and it wants me to like this even more) buuuuut..
- I love enemy!slash - Favourite thing ever, hands down. Dubcon? Even better!
- but I dislike Johnny Depp as Grindelwald VERY MUCH! Doesn‘t work for me AT ALL.
Which means I can‘t ship him with anyone, ever.
Which means no Newt/Grindelwald for me... Sigh

(As for your characterisation of Newt and his eyecontact avoidance: my friends and I are positive that he‘s on the spectrum. It is a severe indication of autistic tendencies and social anxiety. BUT the fun thing about fanworks is that everyone can interpret that differently ;-))
