The story of a girl who crawled from the depths of despair to start a new life, finding home along the way. Boomtown fic exploring Teresa's backstory; plot starts about ten years or so before the show begins, will diverge from show canon when timelines catch up. Teresa/Joel endgame. Trigger warning: rated M for gang violence, sexual assault and mention of STDs.

This story was inspired by part of this tumblr post: http://hernymills.tumblr.com/post/92951514511/boomtown-spoilers-ahead

I don't own Boomtown, Teresa, Joel, Tom, Ray, Fearless etc, but any other characters are mine. Title taken from Arrow's episode 'The Secret Origin of Felicity Smoak'.

Full disclaimer: I have never experienced any of the things Teresa does in this fic so if I offend anyone or it is inaccurate please tell me and I will do my best to correct it.

"It was a mistake..." She told her mother, folding her hands into each other. "Marrying him..." Her mother said nothing, she simply sat there as her only daughter stood across from her, on the verge of collapsing from bruised ribs and cracked shins. "Mom." She wanted to reach out, softly tap her aging mother. Though that was the restriction of her life. The binding stereotype that she was gentle and slow to anger. In reality, what wanted to explode from her ribs was a scream of an animal, and the tears of repressed rage and fear. She wanted to throw her body onto the floor, but the thought made her damaged body ache more. There was no response from her mother. The deafening silence reminded her of her own quietness as her husband shouted at her, his fists bloody. He told her that she was only a tool for his amusement and a money-whore for her indigent family. She was nothing else but a tool for both parties. And she was starting to believe him. --------------------- Sarah Johnsen's life spirals from the normal gritty resilient fight to a serene wonderland. On the outside, she's married to a kind family with untold riches, but on the inside, her husband is the devil himself. Forcefully married at 18, Sarah was forced to kill her own dreams of becoming a doctor in order to bind her poor family to the rich bastards of Glendale by marrying their youngest; Oliver Grean. Their arrangement had the ability to brew the largest timespan of misery any of them has ever known. From lost toddlers to paid staged kidnappings, the binding of the two families, the Johnsen's and the Grean's created a mixture of chaos, confusion, sorrow, fear, grief, and dangerous rage. And there seems to be no haven to escape to. Or is there?

Bless you hellichk.tumblr.com for this absolutely lovely cover I want to print and frame it and keep it forever. I DO NOT take any credit for their art. Steve(21) Hasn't had a chance to leave this awful place. He has stayed around for the kids, wanting nothing more to be there for each one's graduation. Confused. Lonely. Depression has really started to hit in the last couple of years after all of the tragic losses to the upsidedown. Nearly losing everything and everyone he's cared for and loved. Most everyone has gotten their chance to escape, Nancy and Jonathan moved to California after graduation. Robin's off at college. Until he realizes maybe he's not so alone here, sparking a true friendship with the most unlikely person, Eddie Munson. Eddie(22) hasn't been able to get out of this town either after swearing he would get the hell out of here many years ago. The kids are all graduating this year, which will most likely end up giving the two now men, no reason to stick around anymore. But what will happen to the two friends when Steve realizes the feelings he's thought for so long to just be a platonic friendship have always been a little more? I do not own rights to the ST characters or themes but I do own rights to my own storyline. I will be using pictures from artists that I find as the art for each chapter. I don't think I could draw enough to cover a whole book so pls don't credit me for those either. Thx. 🙏 ~🖤K

4 parts Ongoing Mature
The plot of the story revolves around Thomas, a young boy who wakes up in an underground elevator with no memory of his past, only to find himself in a mysterious place called the Glade, surrounded by towering stone walls. He discovers he's among other boys who have also lost their memories, forming a society where each has a role in survival and exploration. They're trapped by a vast and ever-changing maze that threatens their lives with deadly biomechanical creatures known as Grievers. As Thomas adapts to life in the Glade, he becomes involved in unraveling the mystery of the Maze. Along the way, he uncovers fragments of memories and clues about his past, including his connection to a girl named Teresa, who arrives mysteriously in the Glade shortly after him. Conflict arises when the stability of the Glade is disrupted by attacks from Grievers and internal tensions among the boys, exacerbated by Thomas's emerging memories and his role in challenging the status quo. He remembers his involvement in the Maze's creation as part of a secretive organization, W.C.K.D., whose experiments on the Gladers were aimed at finding a cure for a deadly virus, the Flare. Thomas and Teresa, reunited by their shared past and growing feelings, lead the Gladers in a desperate bid for freedom. They discover a hidden laboratory where they once worked, witnessing video recordings revealing the true purpose behind the Maze experiment. They learn that they were test subjects, immune to the Flare virus, studied to find a cure amidst a devastated world. The narrative combines elements of mystery, survival, and dystopian intrigue, exploring themes of memory, identity, and the ethical dilemmas of scientific experimentation in a post-apocalyptic world. ----------------- Note - The story is a fanfiction and the plot has been inticrately drafted modifying small details to make it appear more intimate and exposed.
