My Maze Runner Fics
(Currently anon and locked to AO3; will be added to as written)
the bed warmed by the body – Newt can't sleep anywhere. Thomas can sleep everywhere. [Newtmas, 3.5k]
Waterbreathing – The veins on Newt’s arm could almost be pretty. Like the crawling spread of roots from a tree. The delicate segmenting of a dragonfly’s wing. The natural pattern of lichen blooms. [Newtmas, 2.2k]
My, My, My (Whiskey and Rye) – Newt doesn’t know how he ended up here. [High school AU, Newtmas, 5.9k]
Crimson and Clover (Over and Over) – Thomas hates this part. [High school AU, Newtmas, 5.8k]
The Iron City – When the lightning storm comes, the Gladers are separated in their sprint for the Ruined City. Most of them run right to Jorge's front door. Newt, Aris, and Rachel end up somewhere worse. Now both groups are struggling to get back to each other, fighting through Cranks, WCKD, and the deadly politics of a city no longer bound by law or decency. [Canon Divergence AU, multiple relationships, 22.2k, chapters 8/? posted]
Connectivity – The brain is a muscle that can move the world. [Canon Compliant-ish, Gen, 3.2k]
Project Long Shadow – It is the suggestion of Mr. Janson that Project Bright Horizon be discontinued and the subjects eliminated. As per usual, he shows a remarkable lack of foresight. While we have seen marked improvements with LX-1121, I do agree that it is both unsustainable and inefficient in the long run, but that is no reason to carelessly disregard the research potential of the subjects. With these subjects, we have the invaluable opportunity to observe LV-1118's long-term development with minimal risk. Therefore, Bright Horizon will continue under my personal supervision. [Alternate Canon, multiple relationships, 9.5k, 1/? chapters]
Crushed Flowers – The understanding is the most frustrating part. [Canon Divergence, Newtmas, 6k, PWP]
The Havener's Guide to Dating a Psychic (Or Three) – Newt couldn’t name what about the other boy is so odd if he was asked. Couldn’t lay a finger on any one thing and say that’s it. But it is there. Something peculiar and strange. Something which makes other people bristle and back off, even if they don’t realise it. He’s felt it himself, when Thomas stares at him, wide and dark and fixed, like he can read the thoughts right off the back of Newt’s skull, can peel him open and prod around inside. -OR- The world might have collapsed into ruin, but falling in love remains the strangest thing to do. [Canon divergence, Newtmas, 19.9k]
everything dies, baby – The fourth time, Thomas feels like he’s dreaming as he tackles Newt to the ground, tries to pry the knife out of his hands with no success. Newt thrashes and screams and holds on. His arm jerks back wildly, elbow cracking into Thomas’s cheekbone. He reels back, stunned, and a thought bursts in his head like it’d been shaken loose by the blow—no, wait, this isn’t right, this isn’t how I remember. [Time loop fix-it, multiple relationships, 19.5k]
Soap and Steam – In all honesty, Newt hadn’t really believed Vince when he said the settlement they were visiting had a bathhouse. It sounds so…maybe not impossible, but very much improbable. Something so pleasant out here in the sun-blasted Scorch? Pull the other, it’s got bells on. [Fluffy one-shot, Newtmas, 1.5k]
