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!

I don't know why I said it, the words being unfamiliar and deep within the depths of my conscious... two little words that changed my life forever. "I believe." Neverland, a place of majestic beauty, mystery and terror. When a girl is pulled from unpleasant circumstances and dropped into Neverland, she does her best to make the island her home. But will the sinister leader, Peter Pan, and the Lost Boys put her through more than she can handle? Will she be able to overcome the tests and mind games Peter Pan has in store? And more importantly, will she ever be able to express her feelings for him without getting hurt? Could he possibly feel the same? --------- Copyright © 2017 by @PeterPanGlader Cover by @PeterPanGlader Previously titled "Loving the Monster" I do not own the character of OUAT's Peter Pan, but the rest of the characters are my own.
