It's been two years since Newt first woke up to the Glade and, since Alby and he managed to enforce a number of rules to stop anarchy among all the other boys, nothing has changed much. Every month means the arrival of a new boy to the Glade and four weeks more without finding a way out of the Maze, and every month Newt grows more hopeless about his future. Until Thomas. Thomas, with whom Newt shares confusing visions about their past every time their eyes meet-and who turns out to be the first of several factors leading to a brutal change in the Maze's rules. Soon enough it is clear that the two boys will have to work elbow to elbow if they want to get everyone out alive. But not everyone is happy about it, and as Newt and Thomas' feelings for each other grow stronger with every vision, they might have to face something worse than the creatures that lurk the Maze. Something that sets their hearts racing every time they are together, and that might be their only hope of surviving. *** TMR book 1 rewritten to make Newtmas canon!

FOR LOVE AND ADMIRATION. - "Name's Newt. And it seems like you're my new roommate", Newt introduced himself to the brunet that had just walked into the room. It was his first year at the Glade, the best college you could go to with next to no money. The brunet took the offered hand and shook it with a smile. "I'm Thomas." Newt smiled back. "Okay, Tommy! You need any help with your stuff?" "Yeah, that'd be great. Thanks, Newt." And as simply as that, their friendship began. Finished 8 November, 2016.
