Storming in the Past by Lexi_M343

A seemingly harmless adventure turns into the cause of millions of deaths; a boy with a horrible past could have an even worse future; and I, Sam Damen, am responsible for it all. The year was 3087 when the world's third time machine was built. This time it was going back in time and I was going with it. I arrive in 1347 and before I know it, my fears I couldn't even imagine, have come true. The Black Plague is beginning to spread and it's all my fault. Along my journey I meet someone, my heart is crushed when it seems the Black Death has plagued their life. If only many lives hadn't ended so soon because of me, if only fate had been in my favor, if only I could have prevented what lay ahead.

Since We Were Kids (Newt x Reader) by spacebear222

"We are never getting out of here are we," I said to my best friend without the slightest bit of hope. "Come on, Teddy. Don't think like that," he says trying to reassure me. I notice him fidgeting with his hands, knowing I'm probably right. We are both standing on the Watch tower, leaning over the railing. I look across the Glade. I study the people and my surroundings. I remember when I first met Newt. Two young kids finding their way out of the Maze. We protected each other at all costs. We still do. We are all each other has. ~~~ Teddy has been trapped in the Glade for about three years. She was the third person to come up in the box with pure confusion and fear. Sometimes though, she wonders about what life outside the Maze is like, what their lives could be like. Even though the Glade is the only home Teddy and her fellow Gladers have ever known, she wants to leave. She wants answers. She wants to know the life she can't remember living. They've seemed to have tried everything, and loosing her friends is her worst nightmare. But when the opportunity is open to leave, thanks to Thomas, will they take the chance to get out? Disclaimer: I do not own any of these characters except Teddy and a few other minor characters. Book 1 out of 3 ~~~ #8 thomassangster #12 kayascodelario

Stolen [The Maze Runner Fanfiction] by lazyoverachiever

Take away everything you've ever known, every face, every place, and every memory. Replace it with empty darkness. Then, add on the pressure of waking up in a strange place, full of people you don't know, and a mystery you don't understand. Could you survive navigating this deadly world and the people who call it home? Can Skylar? I couldn't think of anything good to put here the book is better than the description I promise ~~~•~~~•~~~•~~~•~~~•~~~•~~~•~~~•~~~• MAZE RUNNER FANFIC!! (Minho) (Disclaimer I do not own any of the maze runner characters setting or plot I only own my characters and plot. The rest belong to James Dashner.) #702 in Fanfiction

grail of death and clockwork. by Ceshire-Mearkat

In a time of cogs, gears and steam-powered machinery, one would think that people would have many things to be fussing and worrying about. But it's funny how a string of mysterious deaths can change the simply driven mindsets of people into that of a flurry of misguided gossip towards the fear and confusion. (will be working on fixing up grammatical and punctuation errors at some point but will be slow)

Ocean Deep by Marxfan1

In a world where inhuman and human creatures lives side by side, sometimes it was difficult to navigate where things were. So there was rules EVERY human followed. Don't engage. If you left them alone then they almost always left you alone... Unfortunately it's difficult when a whole pod happens to be under the impression that you belong to them.

In The Maze ➸Newt x Reader by sangsterswag

"I thought being trapped inside four stone walls would slowly drive me insane- then you came into the picture." Just like the rest of the gladers, Y/N ends up finding herself trapped inside of the maze. Being the only girl seems to suck, until she realizes not all guys are jerks- thanks to one blonde British boy. Scared. Lost. Confused. Love. Heartbreak. Drama. This all began with the maze. [I WROTE THIS WHEN I WAS LIKE 13 ITS LITERAL TRASH LMAO IM SO SORRY- ALSO IM SLOWLY EDITING AS OF 2020 LOL PLS FORGIVE- but omfg it's so cringe I'm so sorry] Began: 2014- Completed (?) - Newt x Reader {Book One} --------------- I do not own the maze runner or anything to do with it. All rights to James Dashner (our king) I only own the plot line, 'you', Chris and Hunter ---------------

She will show them how strong she has become. She will show them how wrong they were to hurt her. Now, she will fight back and take back what is hers: her freedom and her life. They don't own her. Not anymore. [Minho x OC]
