Inspired by a prompt above, but my focus is a wee bit different so i figured it should get its own thread: SPN fans, do you recall an episode back in season 4, where Castiel was pressured into pressuring Dean to torture the demon Alastair? Who had tortured and broken him in hell? And who totally had the psychological advantage and was effectively destroying Dean all over again by making him become a torturer again?
That, my friends, was some fucking AMAZING dark AF telly.
So I'm thinking: Graves being pushed into having to question Grindlewald. Having to TORTURE Grindlewald, ultimately. But Grindlewald is absolutely headfucking him in these sessions, using everything he knows about Graves. And Picquery kinda KNOWS that she's complicit in continuing to fuck Graves over, but they need to know stuff about Grindlewald, so she's guilting him into having to go through with it, and it is TEARING HIM APART.
And, yeah, I'd love to have somebody (Tina, Newt, Theseus, Queenie) trying to comfort him - Queenie could be amazing, actually - which could be platonic, or sexy - could involve BDSM scenes, if that's what it takes. Whatever you fancy, Nonny. It's that whole Graves-walking-knowingly-into-horrors-and-letting-himself-be-broken thing I want.
