The Girl In The Glade
(Y/n), that's all you remember. Your name, (Y/n). -------------------------- It was as if you never left that damp dark box, only risen to a bigger one. -------------------------- You were sent up to the Glade as the only girl, and that arouses confusion. You don't know anything, don't remember anyone, all you know is that you are trapped and terrified. As you spend more time in the Glade, a certain British blonde boy seems to catch your eye, while a boy with interesting eyebrows seems familiar. You find that your arrival, however, has started problems within the maze trials. You don't know what it is, but something about you makes you special, maybe even dangerous. You have to work with the other Gladers to get out of this death trap. But that means putting yourself and the other boys at risk. Will they follow your lead, or will some stray away? In the end, WCKD is good, right? (This is a Newt fanfic that is based primarily on the movies, though some aspects will be from the books. Some plot points however, have been twisted to fit my own story line!) This is book one of a series of three! ♥️ (maybe more if people enjoy it!) Disclaimer: I do not own the Maze Runner Franchise - all character rights and plot points (beside y/n and my own plot points) belong to James Dashner and Wes Ball

The Maze Trials: A Gally Fanfiction
Emi, first girl the Glade has seen. Tougher than she looks and more than ready to prove it. Since day one her and Gally have been at each other's throats. Fighting constantly and not just with their words. (Gally fanfiction which will include smut. It also has an actual story line. Think of it as an AU to the original Maze Runner. It'll mostly follow the main story line with some changes. Mostly focusing on Emi and Gally and their relationship.) ___ I did the stupidest thing and glanced towards the leader's voice. Next thing I know I was tackled to the ground with a steaming Gally on top of me. He went for my face but it was easy enough for me to block him. I had to struggle a little to fix myself enough to roll us. Once I got myself in just the right angle while blocking Gally's random throws I pushed him off me. His hands held tightly on my shirt pulling me with him. We hit a slight slope perfectly causing us to roll a few times. I made sure that when we stopped I was on top. Gally groaned when his head roughly hit the ground.

Needing You | Gally X Reader | Tmr | The Maze Runner
⚠️SMUT SCENES AND LANGUAGE⚠️ ~*~ "Does this mean you finally like me?" I asked, smirking, nudging his shoulder with my own. "Not at all," he grumbled, not even looking at me. "I'll grow on you one day," I teased. "That'll be the day," he muttered. "That'll be the day." ~*~ TROPES: •Enemies to lovers •One bed •Forced proximity •Fake dating •Grumpy X sunshine ~*~ Gally and Jules hate each other. And not even a friendly little rivalry, a genuine hate that keeps them from ever seeing eye to eye or being able to stand anywhere near each other. But as time goes on and they find themselves getting gradually closer, are they sure their initial judgment of the other was correct? Suddenly, she didn't seem to be the annoying shank she once was, and suddenly, he wasn't completely repulsive. Maybe there's more to each of them than the other first expected to me. And - just maybe - there's a lot to like about each other too. However, as they both start to realise just how much their feelings have changed about each other, their entire friendship - already fragile enough - threatens to shatter. Would it be worth it to confess? Or would it be better for both of them to be silently needing the other and never doing anything about it? ~*~ Start date: 21st August 2022 Finish date:
