❝ I just wish you could see the way that I feel about you.❞ ❝ Show me.❞ - EDEN had spent the whole of her life, that she remembered, trying to find something within the chemicals that she was given every month. She had not found anything until a certain boy came up into the box and disrupted everything entirely. NEWT and EDEN had been the best type of friends forever (despite certain people expecting more of them) but as time progressed and their lives became a stress fest where the next day was not promised, a different type of bond burned brightly behind the friendship. With their entire lives turning upside down, fate owed them a relatively easy relationship. Didn't it? - -Partly slow burn -Friends to lovers NEWT X OC {11 JUN~ 12 NOV } maze runner ~ death cure #2!! in #themazerunner - 24/11/22 #1!! in #themazerunner - 12/06/24

Too good at goodbyes | Newt x reader by vivienmcu

Y/N was Ava Paige's favorite, everybody knew that. She didn't work with WCKD like her brother Thomas did, she was simply one of their test objects. If Ava had known that Y/N would fall in love with a blonde haired British boy, she wouldn't have introduced them. So when Newt got sent into the maze, Y/N is determined to save him and her friends. She betrays WCKD, which causes Ava to send her into the maze as well. Will her and Newt fall in love again or will their fate break their hearts? The maze runner - completed The scorch trials - completed The death cure - completed _______ ⚠️spoilers for the "The maze runner" movies⚠️ I don't own any of the plots or characters in this book except Y/N. All rights belong to the amazing James Dashner. This is NOT a slowburn story. Since I base my fanfictions off of movies, there's not a lot room for me the create a backstory etc. If you want to read exclusively slowburn stories, this one isn't for you.

Healing Love by groovy-lennon

Rose Marie and Freddie's love story during Freddie's disease

Staying Positive by fredzielennon

Imagine living with it your whole life. It's fine, because it is your normal and you don't know any different. But it is also horrible, because you want to know different. You want to know what it's like a be a normal, healthy kid. You visit the hospital every three months. Almost everyone there are men in their 20s-30s. You're the youngest one, and you never hear the end of it. "Oh so young, how unfortunate" or the worst, "where the hell did you get it," "you must have awful parents if that happened to you" and "don't be spreading that shit around." People are terrified of you. Once the find out, you actually have enough room to walk through the hallway. No one sits with you, no one wants to work on a project with you, no one wants anything to do with you. This is the story of Julian Caldwell, an HIV seropositive since birth. This is how she lives her live through the 1980s, where the disease was highly stigmatised. There wasn't even an official name for the illness until 1983, before then it was referred to as GRID, or Gay-Related Immune deficiency. Imagine, being 13 years old and having a disease "reserved" specifically for gay men.

Pandora's Trials by Paige_Nobles

In a world ravaged by a virus and plagued by conflict, a girl named Pandora Meyer recovers from the virus that took her memories and lives with her father, Abraham, in an isolated cottage hidden by the thick forests of the northern peninsula of Michigan. One day, she saves a boy who says his colony needs help. The southern peninsula was taken over by a cult hellbent on either growing their numbers or wiping out sinners, and they want to expand northward. As she helps the northerners fight off the violent cult, she must figure out who she is and how to survive in a harsh, unforgiving world where one slip up will kill you. However, she soon begins to wonder who the real enemy is. They say the Pandora of ancient myth opened her box and doomed humanity, but can this Pandora save it? P.S. This is the rough draft of my senior project, so constructive criticism is very welcome :) Please be kind, I've never made my writing public before.
