I Might Try To Read The Other 2 Works One Day - Tumblr Posts

idk if you read fanfiction but hal_incandenza on ao3 got some of the best newmann fics out there... seriously, these might be so up your alley

I am a big fanfic reader, so thank you so much for the rec! I started reading "Transducer" and although I initially struggled with the writing style, I soon really got into the plot, and I ate it up.

!!!!!! RAMBLE/SPOILER WARNING: From here I'll actually ramble about the fic itself, so I'd recommend going and checking it out for yourselves if you haven't already :]

My random thoughts with no context:

I really liked the whole sequence when Hermann "breaks into" Newt's apartment, and it conjured up some specific colour palettes that I tried to actually recreate. And the plant in the sink, oh man, funnily enough that was already something I was thinking about previously, so to have it described so well was really nice.

The jacket switch was a very fun idea!

I really thought that Wesley was going to be some kind of double-agent/mole, I was convined that his incompetence was actually a front.

I love that the jammer comes back into play at the end, and that it ties back to the very start and the "wrong clocks".

Even though getting rid of it was the sensible thing to do, I'm very sad that the transducer is only properly used once... I was convinced that the story was going to integrate its actual use in the plot.

The anxiety that chapter 19 gave me was amazing, but to me the ending fell a bit flat: I didn't really jive with the final reveals and such, but oh well, I still had an amazing ride :)

Thank you so much again!
