Y/N: Sit down, I'm gonna torture you now.

Gally, smirking: Kinky.

Y/N: I think you're sweet and breathtaking.

Gally: What—

Y/N: You deserve to be cared for.

Gally: Stop that, now—

Y/N: Your feelings are valid and deserve to be heard.

Gally: I need a safeword!

okay but imagine how many secret gay couples could have been in the Glade?? like you cannot convince me that only Newt was gay there

No one messes with her ~ Newt

Summary: Being the only female in the Glade meant that you were often targeted for jokes and teasing. It didn't bother you that much, since you often had your own comebacks, but Newt wasn't keen on the teasing.

Warnings: Possible language, Glader slang, teasing, jokes, protective!Newt.

The Glade was a rough place, but you had learned how to navigate it. Being the only girl came with its perks—like getting more attention than anyone else and its drawbacks, like being the constant target for jokes.

“Careful, she’s got a temper!” chuckled Gally, nudging someone as they walked by.

“Yeah, don’t get on her bad side,” added Frypan, smirking.

You raised an eyebrow, brushing dirt from your sleeve. “Trust me, I’m not the one to worry about.”

The laughter swelled around you, but you didn’t flinch. You never did. But then Newt appeared, stepping into the circle like a shield, his expression sharp and cold.

“Alright, that’s enough,” he said, voice low but commanding.

The Gladers fell silent, the energy in the air suddenly tense. Frypan and the others exchanged awkward glances, muttering apologies as Newt’s eyes bore into them.

You looked at him, surprised. “It’s fine, Newt. Really.”

“Not fine,” he said firmly. “Not when they’re picking on you. You don’t have to take it.”

“I can handle myself,” you replied, trying to hide the small smile creeping onto your face. You appreciated his protectiveness, even if you weren’t about to admit it out loud.

“That’s not the point,” he snapped, his jaw tight. “No one messes with you. Got it?”

The words weren’t just protective - they were fierce, the kind that made even the oldest Gladers hesitate. You felt a warmth spread through your chest at the intensity of it. Newt wasn’t just standing up for you - he was staking his claim, silently making sure everyone understood that you weren’t alone.

You smirked, letting a little of your usual sass slip through. “I wasn’t planning on it.”

He studied you for a moment, eyes softening slightly. “Good. Because even if you can, I don’t want you to have to.”

You nodded, feeling a strange comfort in his unwavering gaze. Being the only girl in the Glade had always been lonely in some ways, but now, with Newt standing so firmly by your side, it didn’t feel that way at all.

And if anyone dared cross the line again… well, you had a feeling Newt would make sure they remembered exactly why they shouldn’t.

I headcannon that during one of the supply sends, WCKD sent one notebook per glader along with some pencils with the idea of ‘helping’ them sketch out the maze (before the replica Minho did in the map room) and instead, the gladers used them to create art, drawings, writing stories, and even journaling about their experiences with the hope that people will one day read them, see it, or appreciate it, if they don’t make it out of the glade, hoping to live through their art 💗🫶🏽

A Glader’s book is sacred, they had an unspoken agreement to never touch another person’s books no matter how angry or upset they might feel, because the books are seen as an extension of the Glader, sharing your book with another Glader was seen as the ultimate act of intimacy.

I also whole heartedly believe that it would be the only possession they take with them when they make their great scape because it’s a part of who they are and they don’t want to lose their books because it’s a symbol of the choice they had to actually express themselves instead of following WCKD’s plan, kind of like their first act of independence where they got to place their own ideas into an untouchable place instead of following what the intended use was for the books.

They also risked their own life to recuperate the books before reaching the safe heaven because they wanted to share the art, since it felt like keeping the Gladers that couldn’t make it out, alive through their art like they used to hope in the glade.

And I think is beautiful 😭💗

Also, Newt survived because is my AU and I can do whatever the fuck I want with it🧚‍♀️

We’re just like Minho and newt but you’re too much of a slinthead to understand.
