THIS BOOK IS BASED ON HARRISON BERGERON BY KURT VONNEGUT AND THE SHORT FILM 2081. CERTAIN ASPECTS OF THESE TWO PIECES OF MEDIA WILL BE REFERENCED AND SOMETIMES EXAGGERATED!!!!!!
It was the year 2087. Everyone was equal. And not just by God or the law. Actually equal. Nobody was smarter, faster or stronger than another, thanks to the Handicapper General and the 211th, 212th, and 213th Amendments to the US Constitution. Until a boy named Harrison Bergeron made a defiant act that would shake the world. He got up on that ballerina studio stage six years ago, inspiring this little girl who, just like him, was consistently tormented and in torture by these very laws set in place. As he ripped off those handicaps in protest, a spark burned within that little girl.
That little girl is me. I am the little girl who saw him on that stage. I am Lizbeth Harmwood. And for as long as I can remember, I've wanted out of this hell.

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.Complete

Jealousy // Gally x reader
"You could have anyone you want, why would you want to be with me?" - Jealous, Eyedress This book follows the story of Gally and y/n (you) on their journey as they fall in love. It blends the storyline of Maze Runner books and movies, straying more towards the movies as I feel like more people have seen them. -Fem y/n with she/her pronouns -I guess explicit language lmao -Chapters are mostly 2000-4000 words This will have no smut (sorry to the people who enjoy spicy reads) as people I know irl have access to this story and I would die. Sorry if this storyline is hard to follow or if anything doesn't make sense I will keep editing it and hopefully write a trilogy or something :) (P.S this is my first ever time literally writing so sorry if its shit)Complete
Complicated
She wakes up in a cage cold and confused. She refuses to show any weakness in this strange new place; she shoves everything down, deep down behind a mask of indifference snippy remarks and a few right hooks.

Are these two destined to be together? Or are they too similar in personalities? Are they too broken from their own traumas to work it out? Maybe she likes him. Kind of. Maybe he might like her.

Friendships. Emotions. It's all just so... Complicated. **MATURE SUBJECT MATTER- VIEWER DISCRETION IS ADVISED**Complete

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.

"That'll be the day." ~*~ TROPES: •Enemies to lovers •One bed •Forced proximity •Fake dating •Grumpy X sunshine ~*~ Gally and Jules hate 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:Complete

Monotone | ✔️
"If we were so riveted in the spectrum of nature, why did we stand, petrified, as we became corrupted by idle technology, stupefied by glowing screens, stolen from life as we know it from enemies right under our noses? Why did we relent to this obvious threat when we did have the capability to change, and prevent our peaceful hierarchy from being razed? It was the consequence of this stupidity that condemned us all to slaves, servants of a towering race of robots and data." The year 2096. Robots rule the world. Their grip seemed impenetrable, the extent of their control unknown by the humans. Society is blinded by the splendour and wealth of all the technology. "We live in mere fear, unable to access any computerised knowledge for fear of being discovered. We're convicted to the old ways of living, our specialists abilities unable to be used. It puts a very ironic twist on the definition of being free." COMPLETED --Complete
