"When She Woke Up"- (Newt&Thomas x reader) The Maze Runner
[under major editing and re-drafting] The soft pitter-patter of footfalls on damp grass approached. She laid back on the cot, staring at the roof of sticks as she willed her vision to render. She saw the sky through small cracks in the wood. There were no stars up there, but in her eyes was the whole universe and then some. All the stars the two boys could ever hope to see. All the stars they ever needed.

Defender - The Maze Runner (Book 1)
The moment Alex wakes up trapped, wet and confused in a dark cage, she knows something is wrong; but she doesn't understand how wrong, and neither do the Gladers. Everything starts to fall apart in the Glade the moment she shows up, but why? Why is she so different. It can't be just because she's the only girl, there has to be more. ************* She screamed again, but this one was full of anger and challenge. Full of fight. She was fighting for more than her life. She was fighting for every boy in that house. She would fight and defend those boys until her last breath. She pulled back on the string as hard as she could and released her arrow. They had her back. She will have theirs. ************************************************* I want to give all credits to the One and Only James Dashner, and his amazing story: The Maze Runner (and the rest of the books in the series.)

Before Thomas {A Maze Runner Fanfiction}
Teresa wasn't the first girl to appear in the maze. Before Thomas, a girl was sent by mistake, with nothing but a vial of antidote in her hands and frantic scribbles on her arm with warnings for the Gladers. Her coming marks the beginning of a new era in the Maze. A drama featuring an OC, some Grievers, would-you-rather questions, and a little bit of romance. --- This is an idea that I've been playing out in my head for two years, now. It originally started as inserting myself into the world of The Maze Runner, and progressed from there. When I would work my summer job, I would daydream about the happenings, conversations, and friendships developing naturally over a period of time, and found myself engaged in the drama. Like a tv show, the episodes drew themselves and picked up where they left off, satiating my curiosity and giving more depth and background to the characters I loved so much.Complete

IT STARTED WITH A MAZE - Newt x Reader (F)
EEEK BRING BACK THIS DYSTOPIAN ERA PLEASEEEE Note: these books (James Dashner) are absolutely incredible gruesome creations full of action and intensity and I would recommend them to all... ...but this is gonna be based on the MOVIE TRILOGY since it's a bit easier to follow :) so here's The Maze Runner through till the end of the Death Cure Anyways, what's happening : ~ (Y/n) wakes up in a Maze with no memories - only her name. No past. No answers. Just the cold truth that she's trapped with a group of boys who have no idea why they're there, either. The Glade is their makeshift sanctuary: walls of routine inside walls of stone. But nothing stays safe for long. Not when (Y/n) is the first girl to ever arrive. Not when their world starts to change. Not when the nightmares waiting in the dark start hunting during the day. Every rule starts to break. Every answer leads to more questions. And just when escape feels like the only option - freedom becomes the most dangerous lie of all. What these Gladers don't understand is that beyond the Maze lies a scorched wasteland, cities in ruins, and a world poisoned by its own survival. The real test is only beginning. Loyalties will be shattered. Blood will be spilled. And the truth behind WICKED is more twisted than anything they've faced before. She thought the Maze was hell. But what waits outside could burn everything to the ground. And in a world designed to break them, not every bond will make it. Who will survive the Maze? The Scorch? The Cure? And what will be left of them when it's over? ~ TEEHEE <3 Completed: July 2025Complete
