this is absolutely what he expected, please don't worry

[ newt will find that the letter has disappeared the next time he goes to check on it, with no response left behind... but on the day the supply drop comes in, he'll find that there's a separate pile of gift-wrapped items (wrapped in season-appropriate paper) that each bear the names "Newt", "Tony" and "Hermann", all written in the same scrawl as the letter was.

For Tony, there are two packages: one contains a five-pack of dried pineapple, mango, banana and raisins, and the other a photo album. Some of the pictures in the album are ones Tony himself will remember taking, of Pepper and Morgan, and some taken by Pepper... but some he'll find are of the three of them, playing together outside, or cooking together, of mundane activities that surely no one has documented — yet, there they are, on the pages of the album. Pictures of Pepper watching a baby Morgan sleep, or Pepper and Tony snuggling on the couch.

For Hermann, one package does indeed contain his childhood toy rocket, while the other, far heavier, contains books and manuscripts from famous scientists like Einstein, Tesla, even Da Vinci... all original, first-edition books or hand-written manuscripts.

For Newt, there is a whole box of the parts he's been wanting for the lab, all the parts labeled accordingly... and then there's an unmistakably guitar-shaped package that, when he opens it, will contain a 1969-1971 Gibson SG Standard, which, if Newt is careful, he may notice has been used... and realise that it is, indeed, a guitar that once belonged to Angus Young.

Accompanying these packages is a little note that reads simply, ]

Hope you guys like these.
