Post-movie, Tina waits for Newt. But in the meantime, she slowly grows closer to real!Graves after he is rescued. They are on the verge of striking up a real relationship when Newt comes back, and finds himself with a romantic rival.
Eventually, after the three of them are forced to work together to stop some threat or other, they work out a solution to the problem.
Bonuses: - Tina is largely oblivious to how much Graves has come to care for her. - Graves was never particularly open about his feelings, and Grindelwald left him with major trust issues. Being intimate with one person was hard enough, let alone two (and a man, at that). - Queenie and Jacob in the background, being awesome and better at relationships than everyone.
Newt/Tina/Graves - triangle turns into OT3, after much slow-burn
