After years travelling alone to find his creatures, Newt's gotten pretty good at handling subdrop on his own. Sure, it isn't the most fun, but it's easier for him than trying to find a temporary dom who he can trust to put him under.
After the events of the movie, however, he's teetering on the edge of what is possibly the biggest drop he's ever faced (getting hit with the Cruciatus curse and watching Credence die, plus having to let go of his friendship with Jacob) He can hold himself together for the most part, as long as he doesn't have to interact with too many people (would really love Tina and Queenie helping him out in this regard, kinda forming a lil barrier between him and everyone else). Just when he thinks he's over the worst of it, they find out that the real Graves is still alive and has been found. Through some form of plot magic they end up face to face, and the moment Newt looks up at him he can't help seeing the face of the same man who cursed him and just immediately drops.
Graves is reasonably a little freaked out but also can't help reaching out to try and help Newt because he just somehow knows they're incredible compatible. Cue lots of inner turmoil for Newt who can feel it too but is still caught up in only knowing Grindel!graves. Graves takes care of him through the drop, even though it's hard on both of them (but oh so worth it in the end).
Preferably Graves helping him through the drop is just straight comfort and no smut, but I'm super open to smut after that.
+for Graves being this super stern but infinantly gentle and caring dom
++for a super nervous shovel talk from Tina while she's trying not to offend her boss but still get the message across that she won't stand for him hurting Newt
+++for Graves somehow blindfolding Newt so he can focus on Graves voice without the visual trigger of seeing him during the drop
