For seventeen year old Newt, the number ten is everything. Ten steps. Ten times you must snap your fingers. Ten nods of your head. Ten. When he's put in a mental institution for his extreme OCD, depression and anxiety, he meets some unlikely friends. And possibly the boy he's been looking for his whole life. But can he trust him? (also on AO3 under ava_kay) WARNING: content may be TRIGGERING for some (deals with various mental illnesses) most characters from The Maze Runner by James Dashner, I do not own them. p.s.- if newt says anything that seems ignorant towards mental illnesses, please know I'm trying to portray a teenager who doesn't understand yet, and that he eventually will understand!

1 week power-saving drill. The heats off. 3 blankets, 2 pairs have to share a bed. Lance is warm. (i was 14/15 when i wrote this, i'm now 20 and really wish i had the patience to go through and edit this story because i did my favourite character keith a HUGE injustice im so sorry my main man 😔)

thomas' senior year has been uneventful and boring, well that is until he receives an anonymous message from a boy confessing his attraction // thomas commences in an investigation, trying to reveal the identity of his "mystery boy" all while accidentally falling in love with him over text - disclaimer: this plot was somewhat inspired by the book simon v. the homo sapiens agenda

"As I was saying, we will do an exercise. We are going to play a game of Truth or Dare," Shiro said. What could be more fun than a game of truth or dare? Keith and Lance were thinking that same thing when they started, only to be embarrassed and pushed to their limits by the end of the rounds.

I haven't... I haven't seen the sun, not in a very long long time... I remember how it felt against my skin, the heat, how it would use to blind me. I haven't seen plants, trees, grass, the ocean, a lake, an animal. I've never been outside, it's the same for all of us, us survivors. The world went to hell, to war 72 years ago against brains and brauns, scientist created a bomb that was suppose to end the war but instead it destroyed the world. But there where survivors, we've been living underground in our base camp we call "underworld", it's total hell down here. Recently some of us go back to the surface 20ft above, some don't come back, the ones that do come back, they talk about people, people like us but far from a civil mind, we call them the rabids. I never thought I'd see one, ever, that when it's safe to go up that I'd get to see the sun again, people call me crazy cause I still train myself to go up even if I'm to small, I don't fit their expectations. Not all of us do. But shit goes down when we capture a rabid from the surface.

thomas can do things, things that kids shouldn't be able to do. he can kill with a thought and send his body into a terrifying overdrive // living really hasn't been so great for thomas, but when a weird night leads him to finding an exceptional school and a boy who can turn himself invisible, he discovers that maybe being different isn't so terrible after all - disclaimer: I used the x-men universe but you don't have to know anything about x-men to read it its focused on newt and thomas and wicked
