Now just imagine that with Minewt with all the horrible canon heartbreak staying the same.
Imagine Minho freaking out when his mark starts to flicker after Newt jumps
Imagine Newt looking at the mark all day while Minho’s Running the Maze and yet still breathing a sigh of relief when he runs through the doors
Imagine Minho looking at his mark while Running as a reminder of why he does it
Imagine the night Thomas and Minho get stuck in the Maze and Newt sitting in bed watching his wrist all night and feeling something between hope and sick dread and cradling his wrist against his chest when they’re waiting for the doors to open because no those are just stories who knows if they’re true or not
Imagine Minho watching his mark that night because this is the link that he has to Newt--always has to him. And Minho KNOWS that the stories are true because he saw his mark start to fade into a scar when Newt was on the edge of death and so he can’t die because Newt will know the second he does and he can’t have that
Imagine Minho watching his wrist after they leave the Crank Palace and just being content that at least his Newt is alive even if what his life has become makes him want to cry

Newt wasn't one for the big city. At 13 years an operation went terribly bad and left him deaf for the rest of his life. He was content living alone, safely deep in the forest in his cozy cabin.
But now his current long term boyfriend, Minho, persuaded Newt into coming to live with him in the city. So Newt takes it upon himself to enjoy his last weekend in his cozy closed up cabin.
What he didn't expect to happen was to be stalked in his own house to utter insanity. Praying for Minho to come and save him before Newt started to beg for death.
Or: A deaf writer who retreated into the woods to live a solitary life must fight for his life in silence when a masked killer appears at his window.

"Ya bloody actor types. All the same."
Newt joins his university’s drama society and signs up to be a part of the glamorous backstage crew. Everything is going smoothly when this new actor shows up and starts bothering him and causing trouble. When they get into a fight and stop a rehearsal, the director orders them to get it together by building sets and running lines together, but they’re not exactly ready to kiss and make up. On a completely unrelated topic, there’s also this costume party that the drama society is organising that Newt is being forced to attend. Apparently, it’s also a masquerade.

Among the other kingdoms, Paradise was known for its peace, prosperity, and wealth.
Nick and Newt were the sons and heirs of the King. Nick was older than Newt by 6 years.
They were both young when their parents died due to a plague that spread throughout the kingdom. It was still a mystery how it reached the palace and how only the King and Queen were affected by the virus.
Nick became king and ruled with the assistance of his Uncle Janson who stood by his side until he was off age.
The peace lasted until attempts were made on Nick's wife and son's lives. Evidence were found and it pointed the last person that Nick ever thought it would be.

Minho was really okay with the way things happened.
He was okay when he was pointed to be the next director of Right Arm, a secret agent in United States that 'helped' the police in, well, let's say, fighting crimes, at the very young age. He was okay too, when the previous director sent him to other continent on his summer holiday just to train. He even accepted the fate that he had to be a double agent, alternating between attending school as a student like he was supposed to be and working as a spy in the said school because apparently the headmaster was somehow had connections with the famous criminal gang, Wicked.
Really though, he was okay with his job and he was ready to do whatever the director wanted him to do. Except maybe, this.
And by this, it meant that moving from Denver to New York because the previous director passed away and Minho had to do his job as the next director. Well, not really, he kind of expected that he'd like New York. But well, he certainly didn't expect to meet a bunch of blondies that claimed themselves as the school's leaders. His side job was hard enough and he actually didn't need any more drama in his school life.
Well, Minho didn't expect much. On his second week at the school, Newt, Ben, and Gally found their way to introduce themselves to Minho. And that, my friend, was the day Minho's life started to get even more complicated.
The blondes were always around him, being the annoying little shits they were, and Minho tried his hardest to ignore all of them. Until one day he had had enough of it and was about to snap when he found out that Newt wasn't just the skinny guy who speak British. He was far than that and Minho didn't know how to react.

Newt is a prince and prodigious archer, forced to flee his kingdom after enemy attacks leave him orphaned. Minho is a fighter and a slave, decided on escaping the farm he’s worked on his entire life after the death of his best friend. Their lives were never meant to intersect, but new and extreme circumstances force the two to meet.
Once acquainted, a unique opportunity presents itself, and a profitable one at that: with their combined skillset, Minho and Newt make up the ultimate assassin duo. After becoming quick legends throughout the villages they wander, their reputations afford them an offer they really can’t refuse.
But when their job finds them first and warns them of their employer’s plans to kill them, Minho and Newt have to make a decision that may mean the end of their lives (and definitely means the end of their lives as they know them). With their new ally, the three set out on a mission for freedom, revenge, and redemption.

FORELSKET [fo-rels-ket] ; (n.) the euphoria you experience when you are first falling in love.
Minho is a traveller – mountains behind him, rivers guiding him ahead and stars painting his nights when every bit of light has left already. His plans aren’t settled and his feet carry him over sticks and stones, steady and sure to get away from everything behind him further. But on another night with the stars hovering above, the current date forgotten, a sea of lights makes him halt. The invisible gates to an unknown, small village open without a sound and Minho dives into a huddle of dancing bodies, music like fairy dust ghosting through the muggy air of June. And in between lights and laughter Minho notices a blond young man, the reason for a pause in his journey.
He stays, starts working for Alby, the owner of the village’s well-known pension, and gets to know the homely town more and more. Alby tells him about the unknown blond boy, who is no more than the owner of the village’s bakery, and in a hurry of Thomas, poor waiter of a simple restaurant and Minho’s seemingly only encouragement, spilling the beans, Minho buys flowers for the sweet baker. However, one bouquet simply doesn’t seem enough and while the sand runs through the hourglass Minho learns slowly about the boy with the honey hair and flour on his smooth hands.
His journey stops, but yet another starts and the nights suddenly offer more than just a cluster of stars. Minho falls in love – falls in love with the scent of almond croissants, shy giggles and smooth silk of an white apron. He falls in love with nights spend running across the farm’s cornfield, with climbing high oaks and kissing the other’s inviting lips with his clothes soaking wet and raindrops hitting his shoulders. Minho falls in love with Newt, his favourite journey.

When Minho Park flew to the Amazon to work on a piece in National Geographic, he did not expect to be working with someone. Especially not someone as stuck up as Newton Isaacs. Unfortunately, Minho has to live with Newt for the next couple months as the two of them take pictures to capture the beauty of the forest. But as the days go by, Minho realizes that maybe he’s not so unlucky after all.
Running into Minho at the park is simultaneously the best and worst thing that’s happened to Newt. It’s been five years since Newt last saw Minho. And since then, he hasn’t had any luck in the photography industry or the romance one. He returns to New York to stay with his sister for a couple months while he gets his bearings. But meeting Minho again makes him lose his footing once again. But is that really a bad thing?
The Big Bang survey is now closed. Thank you to everyone who participated! Expect an announcement regarding the future of a minewt Big Bang by next week.
