Seeing as we've reached 4,000 comments in Round 1, it's time to make a new one. Same (lack of) rules apply. Gentle reminder to everyone to refrain from posting extremely long prompts, though. While no word limit will be imposed, take note that it is very unlikely for someone to fulfill your prompt if your prompt alone is already several paragraphs long and containing a number of specifications.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
-(01/14/2016) We now have a TRADING POST where you can exchange fills with people.
-The prompt freeze is over! You may resume posting prompts. The next freeze is scheduled on February 8, 12:00 AM (PST) or if this round reaches 4,000 comments; whichever comes first.
-Due to popular demand, we now have our first couple of rules!
RULE #1: No prompt must exceed 250 words. Any prompt that exceeds that WILL be screened.
RULE #2: Please state RPF in the subject line if your prompt involves real people.
RULE #3: No kinkshaming.

OP here.
Aww yes, please.

This is sheer brilliance!!!! You're the best :D

The perfect nightcap - poor Percy. Losing his hair and his good bachelor name, to boot. Loved this.

AYRT The thing about the candles is, they're not talking about wax candles. The candles would have been made of tallow, which is animal fat, which is actually pretty slick. Think something like the consistency of Crisco. And it also has a lower melting point, so it wouldn't be as hot as candle wax either. So that's not at crazy as it sounds, lol.

Grindelwald frowned at the letter that was resting in the fireplace. He picked it up, turning it over in his hands, focusing on the writing. There were three things that struck him as odd: First, that Graves was apparently receiving letters - he had been here for a month and a half and this was the first he had had. Secondly, the postal mark was from England. And thirdly, it was addressed to "Percy".

He raised an eyebrow, looking towards his prisoner who was chained to the water pipe. Graves was still wearing the same black pyjamas he had been wearing when Grindelwald arrived, but they were stained with blood now and his hair had grown long. His eyes were unfocused, and he shivered. It was a long way for an alpha to fall.

Grindelwald walked towards him and waved the letter.
"Someone's writing to you. Who?"
"No idea." Graves spat, and Grindelwald raised an eyebrow. For the past couple of weeks Graves had been cooperating so well but now it appeared he had got some of his fight back. He walked to the table and opened the letter, scanning through it.

Dear Percy,
I hope that this finds you well, you've been quiet the last couple of months. You have no idea of the circles that Grindelwald has us running around in. Father is vexed, you know how he gets, and Mother wants to speak to you about the possibility of Hippogryphs being moved to America to keep the rarer populations away from the fighting - I know your opinion on this, and I have told her, but I did promise that I would say so I have said.

Newt's going to be coming to America soon. Please keep an eye on him, and remember our promise. Kill him if you need to.

Sorry for the short note but I don't have time for more. I'll write more soon.
Yours,
Theseus.

Grindelwald stared at the letter in surprise, casting a quick 'Revelio' in case there was anything else hidden. But no, it was clear that there was a magician in England who was using Graves as his own personal hitman. He turned to Graves.

"Apparently Newt will be coming to America." He explained, and he saw the flinch that passed across Graves' face. "Who is this Theseus?"

Graves stuck out his tongue. It might look like a childish gesture, but the threat was there - if Grindelwald used Imperius to make him talk he would bite off his own tongue. Grindelwald could have tortured the information from him, but he wasn't sure he was in the mood for more screaming, and it always made such a mess.

He frowned, and then called over any other letters that were from the same man. He had expected one or two. What he found instead was a stack of them, over a foot deep. A wave of his wand had them sorted into order - the first one said "Percival" in a child's carefully calculated script, but the others all said Percy, aside from one which had "Kitten" written on it. Curious, Grindelwald opened it to find a note congratulating Percival for getting into Wampus, signed "From one feline to another" and accompanied by a sketch of the Gryffindor logo. This was a long friendship then. Over time the writing changed into a teenager's scrawl, and then an adult's script.

The first letter intrigued him, and he cracked it open, seeing a photograph. A man and woman smiled and waved, their hands on the shoulders of two boys - the older around eight, the younger a mass of curly red hair and freckles, half his brother's age and with a streak of mud across his neck. In the background there were hippogryphs. He turned his attention to the letter.

Dear Percival,
Mother says I should write to you. She says your family is one of the original eleven. I am lonely but today has been a good day and I hope you will write back. I would like to have a friend in America. What is America like? Today Newt caught a frog from the garden. The maid screamed when she saw it. Father found it very funny. I hope we shall be friends.
Theseus Scamander.

Newt was Theseus's brother then, looking at this. The little boy who was playing with frogs had grown up into someone that Theseus wanted killed. Grindelwald did not have time to read a lifetime's correspondence, but he picked out the letters which mentioned Newt and began to read. The first few years there was little of interest:
Newt caught a niffler in our garden...
Newt is determined to train a gnome...
Newt's taught the Fwooper to dance...
Newt went to the hospital today. One of the hippogryphs attacked him and it broke his arm. He kept asking us not to hurt her, saying it was his fault. He cried until mother told him it was not going to be destroyed.

Nothing. And then a period where Newt wasn't mentioned - a quick glance of those letters provided essays about the superiority of Hogwards to Ilvermorny, talking about his excitement to learn, and how glad he was that Percy finally had a wand. It also mentioned that Theseus was an alpha - and there was a request, that if Graves was an omega he would at least consider Theseus as a mate. Then the letter came congratulating Graves on being an alpha as well, accompanied by a joke about sharing an omega. Grindelwald rolled his eyes. Teenage boys were the same the world over. He remembered his own infatuation with another alpha when he was young, a man who now despised him.

He flicked to the next relevant letter.
Newt was sorted into Hufflepuff. I wish he was with me, but I'm really not surprised. He's excited about the opportunity to meet the houselves, and he's already asked to help out with the owls. That's normally detention, but you know Newt.

The next letters were filled with ramblings about his brother's progress, how he had actually tried out for the Quidditch team, how he had made friends with a girl that Theseus didn't like. Nothing here seemed overly serious, and Theseus had begun a relationship with another Gryffindor - an omega. Grindelwald skipped those passages of the letter.

Then the content changed to discussion of auror training, of his ambition to join the ministry. The next letter contained only one line.
Newt's an omega. More to follow.
The following letter was explaining his father's rage and brother's fear, how it was felt that Newt was a disappointment to his family's name. Then Newt's heat had hit, and his family had rallied around him. I don't care that he's an omega. He's my brother. He'll always be my brother.

Preparing for NEWTs was taking up more and more of Theseus's time, and the letters trailed off for a while. Newt was mentioned only in passing, still interested in all kinds of magical creatures, and then the letters stopped, until a letter arrived with Theseus's marks - he'd become an auror, and congratulated Percy, and there was discussion of meeting - and then the bombshell hit.

There was a letter which had been written in a rush, and the paper was stained with tears.
There's been an incident. They've taken Newt away. He got into trouble with that Lestrange girl, apparently a first year nearly died, and they've taken him to be fixed. They say he's unstable, he's improper. They won't let us see him. That was all that the letter said, so Grindelwald turned to the next.

He was evaluated by the DOC, (Department of Omega Care, think you said it was called the Centre for Integrating Omegas in America) and they decided he needed to be reorientated. They won't let us see him. I've been trying to pull strings but I'm so scared. I've been left with his creatures, but they're all complicated and I'm scared I'll hurt them. They all seem distressed - the niffler hasn't even swiped my watch this week. I'm worried I won't see my brother again. Please, if there is anything you can do, help him.

Grindelwald frowned, wondering what had led to one brother wishing death on the other when they clearly had been close.
They let me see him today. He's shaking all of the time, he won't look me in the eye, and they won't talk to us about what they've done to him. Only that he's a tough case. He asked a little about his creatures, but he spoke so softly, like he thought he would be in trouble for being who he is. I have to get him out. Even if I have to break him out, I can't leave him there…

You were right about putting legal pressure on them. My parents are both betas so they aren't allowed to be guardians of a reoriented omega, but I am. I've started a campaign. They won't let me visit. Apparently the last time distressed him….

They caved. He's coming home….

Percy,
I've got Newt home. He's terrified. He's jumping at shadows, but he seems calmer near me. He was happy to see his creatures, held them all, but he kept looking at me like I would punish him for it. He's so scared. I've got to help him.

By now, Grindelwald was starting to piece together what was happening. He focused his reading, looking for any mention of death, and soon found what he was looking for.

Newt's getting better. He is. But he's scared, and he's asked me to promise he won't go back. Even if I have to kill him. I promised, and I ask you do the same. I can't let that happen to him again. I'm sure he can stay out of trouble, and with me as a guardian it should be enough, but if you have to, I know I can trust you. He's starting to smile. And he's talking about travelling one day, seeing creatures. He checked I was okay with it, but you know I encourage him. It's good to see him looking like himself.

He flicked onwards.

Newt's got a book deal. All those years of playing with creatures has paid off - he's going to travel the world and learn more about them. He's a little jumpy to be doing it, but I'll accompany him some of the time. He has his case with him of course. You know he can only sleep properly when he's in there. And I know this is his dream. We've got some papers drawn up saying he's a bonded omega, and I've signed all of his visas. He'll be okay - any trouble and he should be sent back to me. Same with his case. You can't imagine how proud I am.

There was little of importance in the rest of the letters, just mentions of Newt's adventures, but for Grindelwald this was very interesting indeed: not only did it give him a possible weak spot for Graves, but it gave him the chance to get the younger brother of one of the most famous British aurors under his control.

He turned back to his prisoner and smiled.
"Apparently, your friend's little omega is coming to New York all alone. Guess I should be there to greet him. We wouldn't want anything to happen."

I am firmly of the opinion that every fandom needs a Project Runway AU, and this is everything I could want from one. Looking forward to more!

OP here, great start! Using all of Theseus' old letters was an excellent way to build the background without having to spend too much time on, and I liked catching the snippets of Theseus' perspective when Newt was taken away and then when he was in the process of recovering. It was interesting to note that Theseus made a promise to kill Newt before ever allowing him to be institutionalized again, giving a hint of how awful Newt's whole experience must have been, and also that he's recruited Percival to make the same promise. I'm looking forward to Newt's actual arrival!

No! Why would Graves... Ah, that is why he thinks No-Majs do not feel the connection. Oh god, how can this be cleared up?

And maybe Newt spends his time in hiding secretly undermining Grindelwald's plans where possible? :D

This must be why Grindelwald learned about Newt from Theseus' letters

I never considered this! Most of us think he was imprisoned/killed but now that you mention it, this could be true too!

I heartily approve! The way he apparated when dealing with the Obscurus situation? A++!

YES! Tim Gunn stamp of approval! Can't wait for more.

You're back! See, I knew keeping 20+ tabs of kink meme fills would pay off eventually. This is really really great, btw. Thanks for writing and sharing!

This was amazing! Love how focused on his looks Graves is and how ridiculous Grindles is

I agree. Newt must have some experience at working from the shadows what with him rescuing so many beasts from poachers and traffickers.

The running along the rooftops scene following the obscurus is one of my favorites and what triggered part of the prompt. And even after having been tortured by GrindelGraves he was still using the skill pretty adeptly, thus my thought it might be a natural skill.

Well, and I truly love the thought of Newt disappearing and reappearing behind or next to an opponent using hand to hand combat to take him down. Wizards are pretty reliant on their wand which works well at a distance. But close combat? With how much trouble Newt seems to get into, I believe Theseus made pretty sure that noone would get the drop on his little brother that easily.

Oh boy...here I start rambling again. Ignore me.

+100000000000

This is brilliant (and twisted, but super hot twisted. I am in deep) I feel for Credence and poor Percy but damn. You go Grindelwald you keep making the kinkiest of kinks happen (and you author!anon you have my full respect and worship)

Oooh I just realised this adds another layer to GrindelGraves sentencing Newt to death. Like, it probably would cause Newt some confusion - Graves wanting to use the Obscurus is suspicious, but sentencing him to death rather than the maybe more likely punishment of being institutionalized again for "endangering human lives" is as expected of Graves. Though maybe sentencing Tina too would seem suspicious... Hmmmm.

And don't forget that in the execution room, he kicked ass without his wand!

Personal headcanon that Picket and the Swooping Evil are with Newt for a reason. To get out of trouble when he can't use a wand.
It might have started with Picket having attachment issues but after serveral times the little bowtruckle got him out of a bind, Newt is protesting far less when Picket wants to stay with him.
The Swooping Evil? Most people don't even know what that is. Easy to gain an advantage as seen in the movie.
Theseus thinks it hilarious and approves heartily.

yikes... seconded

Would this be Dissociative Identity Disorder, or just adapting different behaviours/mannerisms in different situations? Because DID (which is what used to be called Multiple Personality Disorder) is usually formed through trauma.

This is a cool prompt! I'd just want to see that aspect of it handled well, if potential filler(s) decided to go the DID route :(

THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A SMILEY FACE AT THE END, so sorry :)
