Everyone admires Theseus Scamander, the war hero who killed so many of the enemy during the war. Everyone looks down on Newt Scamander when he admits he didn't fight in the war. Newt never replies to them by pointing out that he spent the war patching up and saving the lives of those heroic idiots who thought "go to war" meant "find as many new and inventive ways to kill yourself as possible". It didn't matter if he saves two lives for every one his brother took, the world looked down on Newt for his gentleness until the day he used one of his creatures to restrain a dark wizard. But even then, all they wanted to hear about was the fighting.
...Except Theseus. Against all the odds, his brother understood.
Newt + Theseus, War Hero vs Peace Hero (Pacifist/Consciencious Objector!Newt)
