    Summary

    He was here. He was alive. He was okay.

    So why did it still feel like everything was falling apart?

    He gripped the marble counter and felt another wave of nausea threatening to wash over him. He was just about to empty the contents of his stomach for a second time when he felt a fluttering against his fingers.

    Newt looked down.

    And the paper butterfly flew back up to his shoulder, allowing his undivided attention to rest on Credence hovering worriedly nearby.

    Newt gazed into those haunting black eyes of his and reached forward. Their scarred hands folded together, fingers entwining with practiced familiarity as if they’d done this a hundred times before.

    Because they had.

    Credence smiled, gentle and understanding, and squeezed.

    Reminding him that he was not alone.
