“It’s derby," Brenda shrugged. "People get hurt sometimes. Accidents happen.”
“Well, yes, but…”
“But what.”
I feel like this time it’s my fault.

After a falling-out, Teresa reluctantly agrees to come to Brenda's roller derby bout.

The Maze Women 2026: Sports (@themazewomen)
(ᵔᵕᵔ)◜Greetings everyone, welcome to this new event I (Kestis) and Vox have put up together for the fandom. We want to celebrate the amazing works that keep our little corner of the internet alive, and add some chaos to the mix. But we can't do it alone, so I'll let Thomas and Vox fill you in on what is going on.

Vince and Jorge take a trip to explore the size of the island they've settled on. While Jorge's ready to throw aside the responsibilities of being an adult for a while, Vince is anxious about the camp while they're gone.
But the camp doesn't need them. And maybe that's okay.
1st person pov, brenda journals about teresa (sfw, 1k) @themazewomen
God, this is stupid. I haven’t written in a journal since I was…what, 11?
A few months ago I found one that had fallen behind my desk drawer. I was so angsty back then, it was ridiculous. I really didn’t have anything to be upset about. I didn’t know how good I had it.
I never kept my old journals long enough to look back on. Any time I tried, I would feel so ashamed and embarrassed of my older self that I would immediately shred it into as many pieces as possible, and then burn it. The cycle went on for years until I eventually stopped journaling altogether.
I guess I ended up pivoting to songwriting, but that’s never felt quite the same. I still have to focus on getting the words to rhyme, get them to match with the music in the right way.
I always hoped I would be able to write a song about her to tell her everything I feel. But I’ve never managed.
Sonya is the radio DJ for a popular independent station where she regularly takes calls from listeners to give love advice. One day, she gets a call she never expected.
here’s a short little scene for y’all. this technically takes place after the events of my safe haven brinho fic, but i wrote it so it can be read as a standalone.

Jorge and Aris decide to break the news over dinner.
They stand in front of the rock memorial, hitting two pieces of wood together and calling for attention. Brenda picks her head up from where it had been resting on Minho’s shoulder to listen.
“Hey, everyone,” Jorge greets once the group has quieted down. “Aris has something he wants to tell you.” He claps Aris enthusiastically on the back, the strength of it almost causing Aris to stumble over.
Aris clears his throat awkwardly. “Uh, hi guys. Some of you might know that me and Jorge have been working on a WCKD tablet we managed to smuggle out of Denver. Well, this morning, we were able to unlock it.”
Therapy Dogs and Comic Books • (ao3) by newtedison
“Newt takes his therapy dog, Lola, to the park one day for a peaceful afternoon. That is, until he bumps into a boy with shaggy brown hair and square glasses named Thomas. The two meet at the park week after week, and throughout the school year forge a deep friendship. Lots of pining, seemingly unrequited love, and both of them being hideously oblivious. Oh, and everyone else ships it, too.” merry christmas sami! (@newtedison)
i only realized just now that february 9th marked the 10 year anniversary of the completion of "therapy dogs and comic books." i would make something to celebrate but enna already made this great moodboard in 2015.
i've been pretty vocal about how looking back on this fic often brings me a sense of embarrassment or critique, since my writing style has changed and strengthened in the last 10 years (from being 18 to 28 years old) and it's hard not to judge my former self. but the truth is that a lot of people loved and still love this fic. i still get comments on it to this day. it's by far the most popular fic i've ever written and i don't think anything will come close. it's also the only long, multi-chapter fic i've written where i was posting weekly updates, and it was such a unique (if sometimes stressful) experience. this was written and posted during my freshman year of college which was a very formative time for me, and this fic will always be associated with that. i have vivid memories of writing it and being excited about my new ideas. i even ended up writing a sequel fic a few years later as an epilogue of sorts. so even if i sometimes cringe at my writing choices, this fic means a lot to me and always will. it further enveloped me into the TMR community, which ultimately led to me making some friends i've had for years and even met in-person.
so to anyone who's ever read this fic (or any of mine, really), thank you! and i appreciate all the love it still gets from new and returning readers. it's crazy to me that people still read or re-read this, but i'm happy it's been able to bring any amount of people some joy. :~)

yeah so obviously this one was me HAHAHA mayhaps the photoshopped eyes and vampire teeth gave that away. alas.
this was fun and a unique challenge, i ended up making the actual layouts in canva which i was hoping would sway people from guessing me. it did not!
and yes putting vampire teeth on Brenda made me Feel Things. i don't wanna talk about it.
i also got so in the zone that i started making one for Sonya before realizing she was not part of my giftee's wishes 😂 so i ended up using most of her template for Newt. but here is what i had:
i actually think the teeth look best on her. and yes these are red-hair photos of kat that i had to make blonde. AGAIN
HIIIIII OH MY GOD I LOVED MY GIFT SO MUCH!!!!! thank u so much, teresa’s one was my favorite bc she DEFINITELY gives so much vampire vibes (and her eyes do get red when she attacks, trust) HAPPY TMRSS!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
i'm so glad you liked it!! i was nervous when i couldn't give you a fic so i'm happy to hear that. teresa absolutely gives the vampire vibes and it was fun to find the ways to specify that aesthetic to her specifically

Somehow, we've reached the culmination of TMRSS25, following a characteristically creative AND chaotic whirlwind of secrecy, writing/editing/arting/giffing, gifting, and sleuthing 🤐⌨️🎨🕵️♀️
Thanks to all who created new works for the TMR fandom, and went all out to bring their giftees joy. Thank you also to everyone who has encouraged, beta'd, celebrated, and shared the gifts created during TMRSS25 - your support for the event, for our santas, and for the wonderful new tmr content, is much appreciated!
You'll be glad (or terrified) to know that Reveals are on their way soon 😈🔎 In the meantime, enjoy the above insight into TMRSS25, in all its chaos!

Summary: It was never meant to be easy, not with them, not in this life. And yet despite it all, Sonya and Harriet had found themselves drawn to each other.
The Last City has fallen and the group has made it to the Safe Haven. But not everything went to plan. Will they get a chance to live the life they’ve been fighting for?
Message to giftee: Merry Christmas Ann! Hope you have a wonderful break :)
