Gally thrived in a world of routine and order for three years, but that all changed one day. He wasn't a perfect person, and he did many things he wish he hadn't. But he found a reason to change who he used to be, a reason to start over new. And the Reason was her.
This is a stand alone Gally fiction and not a part of Garden of Heathen or its sequel City of Anger.
(Because Gally's character arc reminds me of the song The Reason by Hoobastank. )
I'm not a perfect person
There's many things I wish I didn't do
But I continue learning
I never meant to do those things to you
And so, I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know
I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
And the reason is you
I'm sorry that I hurt you
It's something I must live with everyday
And all the pain I put you through
I wish that I could take it all away
And be the one who catches all your tears
That's why I need you to hear
I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
And the reason is you
I'm not a perfect person
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know
I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
And the reason is you
I've found a reason to show
A side of me you didn't know
A reason for all that I do
And the reason is you

𝐋𝐀𝐂𝐔𝐍𝐀 | TMR, Gally
𝐋𝐀𝐂𝐔𝐍𝐀 - a missing part, a blank space 𝐒𝐄𝐍𝐓 into the Glade with no memories and a deep ache for something lost, 𝐑𝐨𝐬𝐚 arrives in a world that feels as empty as the gaps in her mind. Haunted by the nagging sense that a part of her is missing, she stumbles into a harsh, unpredictable world filled with threats both inside and outside the walls. And among the Gladers, one boy stands out-𝐆𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲, as fierce and guarded as she is broken. 𝐃𝐄𝐒𝐏𝐈𝐓𝐄 his roughness and the wall he's built around himself, she sees in him a reflection of her own missing pieces-a kindred soul haunted by a void neither can name. 𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐍𝐄𝐂𝐓𝐄𝐃 by a pull neither can explain, Rosa and Gally become each other's lifelines, finding solace in shared silence and glances heavy with words unspoken. In a world ruled by survival and danger, they are each other's 𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐮𝐧𝐚-a chance to fill the empty spaces in their hearts. Gally x fem OCComplete

Echo III
WICKED isn't finished with them. Not even close. Minho and Isla survived the Maze. They survived the Scorch. They survived everything WICKED threw at them. But survival isn't enough-not when they're strapped to cold metal tables, their veins drained, their minds shattered by hallucinations. WICKED says they're special. That their blood is different. That they can help find the cure. But Isla knows the truth-WICKED doesn't care who they break in the process. And Minho? He'd rather die fighting than let them turn him into another one of their experiments. They're trapped, alone, forced to endure endless tests, pushing their bodies and minds past their limits. But no matter how weak Isla feels, no matter how much pain Minho endures, there's one thing WICKED can't take from them. Each other. Even if they've never said the words, they feel them. In every stolen glance. Every desperate touch. Every promise to make it out of this hell alive. But WICKED isn't just testing them. They're waiting. Watching. Because Isla and Minho aren't just different. They might be the key to everything.Complete

Single-Blind ⇥ Newt (TMR)
"So when did you- you know- fall in love with her?" Thomas smirked, knowing he had him right where I wanted him, with his head in Fionaland. "Woah," Newt defeated with his hands up, "What?" "I may be slow to getting to know things around here, but I'm not that slow." Tommy chuckled, "I mean I'm pretty sure half the camp has a crush on her but you're fifty shades of complicated." He rubbed the back of his neck, "You keep surprising me, Greenie. It's... just history now." He played absentmindedly with his fingers. "Why do you ask? You uh... have a thing for her?" "Gally would happily filet me if I did." I joked. He laughed but didn't seem fully at ease. "No. I don't have a thing for her, she's a friend." He nodded, with a silent radiant of pleasure. I broke and asked him about her, "Is it really history? I mean... ever since I noticed you two together now I can't stop noticing it. She walks into a room and I feel like I have to remind you to breathe." He pulled a chair over and straddling the back of it. "You know when you're running through the maze and you're almost finished, you can see the glade and you have all this built up adrenaline? You're sore, tired, sweaty but you still feel the last bit of energy to get you home? That's what I feel whenever I'm around her. It's like every nerve in my body wants to wrap around her but I also teetering on the verge danger that would come with that."

Her voice sounds so harsh, yet soft. Her striking blue eyes analysing my every move, blood red lips moving as she talks to the people around me. She smirks at me, porcelain white teeth showing from under her rouged lips. My vision becomes blurred, and my memory begins to fade. Those three words echo throughout my mind as my eyes close. I awake with a gasp - I rack my mind for answers. Simple things come to my mind, like: eating a hotdog, climbing a tree, holding someone's hand. But the face of the person, who was holding my hand, is blurred - like they were erased from existence. Why can't I remember anything? Where am I? What is my name? Where does this thing lead me?
