Teresa wasn't the first girl in the Glade. Just the first that survived. Ayla Meyer. Subject A13. "The Wild Card" 16-year-old Ayla arrived in the Maze Trial about six months in. She arrived differently, though. She woke up in the Maze, with nothing but a small leather pouch and the clothes on her back. Ayla loved the Maze. Why wouldn't she, when she had spent her first three days and nights there? Thomas wasn't the first person to fall in love in the Maze, either. Just the first that will mention it without his heart breaking. Newt Ellis. Subject A12. "The Glue" 17-year-old Newt has been in the Maze since the beginning. He arrived in the Box, with a bronze chain around his neck and a small journal. Written in scratched writing was one word: Remember. Newt hates the Maze. He has every right to, when it's the place where he nearly died, and his true love did so. #2 in newtfanfic 4/8/2022 #1 in mazerunner 7/23/2022 #1 in mazerunnerfanfic 7/23/2022 #1 in wicked 11/26/2023 #5 in asexual 3/21/2025 (not that impressive but it has a special place in my heart❤️‍🩹) warnings // cursing, assault, character death, violence no smut (main character is ace) *this story was written before the announcement of newt's canon sexuality*

I didn't know what I was really doing most of the time. It may have seemed like I did but to be completely honest with myself... I ran head first into a war I didn't know anything about, without a thought in my head except to save those who saved me. I didn't know that made me a fighter. __________ All copyrights are reserved to the phenomenal author, James Dashner-the man who created the amazing trilogy of "The Maze Runner"-and to the director and makers of the movies.

| He ran to survive. Now, he must remember to live. | Stephen Swan was only five years old when he was taken. One moment, he was playing outside with his best friends, Jacob, Quil, and Embry. The next, he was gone - stolen away into the hands of an experiment that would change him forever. In the Maze, he became Thomas. A Runner. A survivor. A leader. He fought to escape, only to lose everything - including the person he loved most. Newt died in his arms, and with him, the last piece of Thomas's heart. Now, after years of running, he's been found. Rescued. Returned to a father who never stopped searching and a home he no longer remembers. But Thomas isn't the same boy who was taken. The carefree child is gone, replaced by someone colder, quieter - someone who doesn't know how to live outside of survival. But while Thomas may not remember his old life, there are those who remember him. Jacob, Quil, and especially Embry. The quiet one. The one who watches him like he's waiting for something. As Thomas struggles to piece together who he is and who he's supposed to be, he begins to realize that escaping the Maze was only the beginning. Because some bonds are unbreakable, some pasts refuse to stay buried, and some destinies were always meant to find him - no matter how lost he's become. ~ Started: 01/04/25 Finished:
