"In lots of fics, Picquery gives Graves his job back. But what if she didn't? What if she insisted that he was too compromised, that everyone else was too uncomfortable with it, and that he couldn't resume the only life he'd ever known, all on top of the trauma of being kept captive and isolated for so long? (Prefer no physical or sexual abuse by Grindelwald, but perhaps worse in that he was in some kind of isolated stasis, not able to tell time or place, which is just as traumatizing in its own right.)

Basically, I want to see Graves deciding in what seems like a very calm manner to end his life, because he's been keeping all his thoughts and trauma so compartmentalized that he isn't really allowing himself to feel it, and he doesn't want to, either. And somehow- maybe through reading between the lines of Tina's account of things, or hearing that Graves has gone missing- Newt figures it out and manages to find him and talk him down. We all saw how well he did trying to connect with Credence and talk him down, so we know he's capable, despite the awkwardness.

Where it goes from there is up to you, though I prefer a hopeful ending. Maybe Newt helps him find new meaning to his life and helps him handle the trauma when the dam does break. Also your decision how he decides to commit suicide and how far he gets before Newt stops him."
