It was only months ago that Thomas had let himself believe that this boy, eye-crinkling smile and all, was worth every test and reckless plan just for the chance that they could survive. And there was still a chance, Thomas knew that, but as Newt cocked the pistol and lifted it to his own head... [ note: mostly centered around the films, though elements were taken from the books ]

Additional Tags: Canon Compliant, Teresa POV, Telepathic Bond, Mental Link, Empathic Bond, Thomas likes both Teresa and Newt, But he likes Newt more, Why Did I Write This?
Summary: Newt looks up sharply, startling Teresa so badly that she has to look at him. His eyes are brightening with respect - it's warm and bright and so reassuring that something warms in her gut without prompting from Thomas' embarassed duck of his head. "Just bloody keep cutting, I think I know where he is going with this." Then a smile, something soft and genuine that eases his usual stoic expression, "Good job, Tommy." Then there were the twinges of relief flooding along their telepathic connection, hints of something subtle along it that makes her feel joy just because Thomas was. For a moment, she was blinded by her own wariness - something inside of her shifts, curdling with unease because hadn't she figured it out too? Then comes the "Don't worry, Tommy. Your girlfriend will be fine." There's Thomas' embarassment, red-hot against her thoughts and all she can think is: Oh. Oh, that's why. Because even when they remain oblivious, she figures it out. Chapter 42 rewrite from Teresa's POV.

Summary: After the Flare took hold of the population, not even WICKED could get it back under control. The virus spread fast and any form of government and civilization crumbled away with the majority of the world's population's sanity. Some are immune to the virus, like Thomas and his group of survivors. They scavenge and are always moving, doing anything to survive in a world determined to kill them. One day, Thomas' group stumbles upon a group of Cranks. Usually, they let them be, or put them out of their misery if they're too far past the Gone, but this time it's different. This time, there's one so sane Thomas can't bear to just leave him with the other Cranks. In Thomas' attempts to keep an eye out for the boy's safety, he finds himself caring more than he should. And the boy is just as inexplicably drawn to Thomas. They grow close, too close, despite knowing only one of them is Immune, and the other's life is doomed to end. Because, by some cruel twist of fate, they fell for each other. /// AU where, as the summary says, even WICKED fell apart after the Flare took hold of the population, and spread way too fast to be controlled.

Thomas' eyes, twinkling from the candle's flickering flame and watery from holding back tears, focus on Newt's face. It's the first time he's looked at him for days. Newt could practically feel his loss of breath as he took in the sight before him. It's a nice sight to look at, Thomas' face, even when he's bedraggled and about to cry, he's still very handsome. Newt is so entranced he doesn't even notice Thomas reaching over, until he feels icy, callous skin on his hand. He's in shock as Thomas laces their fingers together. "I'm cold," Thomas whispers.

Aren’t you supposed to make more coffee?” he asked, seemingly a weird mix of shy and cocky. It was really attractive knowing that he could battle Thomas’ quick tongue but also the way he looked down was sort of endearing. Thomas wanted to kiss him very, very bad, and he wasn’t entirely sure he understood how fast and hard this had hit him. The guy was just the perfect mix of sassy and shy, and Thomas’ mouth was a little dry.

So this is how it feels like. How could he have missed it for so long?

We called the repair company, they don’t know what’s wrong, but I think you’re safe. It’s gonna be a while before they can get there.” He left it up to Newt to answer, rising to his knees and freeing him of his boxers while raining kisses up and down his thighs and abdomen, only returning to his cock when Newt opened his mouth. A loud squeak left him that pleased Thomas way, way more than it should have, and he kept is ministrations up, relishing in being able to reduce his usually very articulate boyfriend to a blubbering mess this quickly. “Yes,” Newt started, clearing his throat and bringing his voice down an octave to its usual level, “We’re fine, it’s just me and Thomas. We’re fine, I just had lunch, and,” a small pause as he sent Thomas a stern look, earning himself only a wink and a happy humming as answer, “And Thomas has his mouth full. We’re set down here, don’t worry a-“ to Newt’s credit he almost managed to quench the moan. If you weren’t Thomas and knew he was getting his dick sucked, you’d probably just think he was a bit scared, “Aah-bout it.”

Summary: [ Set in the post movie-verse Death Cure ] With a snarl, Newt was on him, and they tumbled to the pavement.

It was only months ago that Thomas had let himself believe that this boy, eye-crinkling smile and all, was worth every test and reckless plan just for the chance that they could survive. And there was still a chance, Thomas knew that, but as Newt cocked the pistol and lifted it to his own head... [ note: mostly centered around the films, though elements were taken from the books ]

Additional Tags: Canon Compliant, Teresa POV, Telepathic Bond, Mental Link, Empathic Bond, Thomas likes both Teresa and Newt, But he likes Newt more, Why Did I Write This?
Summary: Newt looks up sharply, startling Teresa so badly that she has to look at him. His eyes are brightening with respect - it's warm and bright and so reassuring that something warms in her gut without prompting from Thomas' embarassed duck of his head. "Just bloody keep cutting, I think I know where he is going with this." Then a smile, something soft and genuine that eases his usual stoic expression, "Good job, Tommy." Then there were the twinges of relief flooding along their telepathic connection, hints of something subtle along it that makes her feel joy just because Thomas was. For a moment, she was blinded by her own wariness - something inside of her shifts, curdling with unease because hadn't she figured it out too? Then comes the "Don't worry, Tommy. Your girlfriend will be fine." There's Thomas' embarassment, red-hot against her thoughts and all she can think is: Oh. Oh, that's why. Because even when they remain oblivious, she figures it out. Chapter 42 rewrite from Teresa's POV.

A Cruel Twist of Fate (12519 words) by Henry_Sturges_to_Henry_Lincoln
Warnings: Major Character Death
Additional Tags: Dystopia, Star-crossed, Post-Apocalypse, Immune Thomas, Infected Newt, Sad Ending, Tragic Romance
Summary: After the Flare took hold of the population, not even WICKED could get it back under control. The virus spread fast and any form of government and civilization crumbled away with the majority of the world's population's sanity. Some are immune to the virus, like Thomas and his group of survivors. They scavenge and are always moving, doing anything to survive in a world determined to kill them. One day, Thomas' group stumbles upon a group of Cranks. Usually, they let them be, or put them out of their misery if they're too far past the Gone, but this time it's different. This time, there's one so sane Thomas can't bear to just leave him with the other Cranks. In Thomas' attempts to keep an eye out for the boy's safety, he finds himself caring more than he should. And the boy is just as inexplicably drawn to Thomas. They grow close, too close, despite knowing only one of them is Immune, and the other's life is doomed to end. Because, by some cruel twist of fate, they fell for each other. /// AU where, as the summary says, even WICKED fell apart after the Flare took hold of the population, and spread way too fast to be controlled. Sort of a post-apocalyptic sort of deal! (It's gonna be sad, you've been warned)

Summary: "I'm here for you," Newt says carefully. And he meant it. He would have not gone this far if it hadn't been for Thomas and the hope he had instilled in Newt; a hope for rescuing Minho, a hope for destroying WCKD, and a hope for a new beginning, a new life...together. Thomas' eyes, twinkling from the candle's flickering flame and watery from holding back tears, focus on Newt's face. It's the first time he's looked at him for days. Newt could practically feel his loss of breath as he took in the sight before him. It's a nice sight to look at, Thomas' face, even when he's bedraggled and about to cry, he's still very handsome. Newt is so entranced he doesn't even notice Thomas reaching over, until he feels icy, callous skin on his hand. He's in shock as Thomas laces their fingers together. "I'm cold," Thomas whispers.

I was in your biology class one year.” “Oh. Right.” Thomas stifled another yawn. There was a pause. Thomas frowned. “So… why’d you call me?” “Yeah. Sorry. I know it’s a bit of an odd hour, but I was wondering if you wanted to come on a road trip with me.” “Mmm…” Thomas ran a hand over his face and sighed. “Um. When?

He’s looking around the shop like it’s an alien planet, his expression of the all too familiar ‘it’s my first tattoo, but I’m not scared’ variety. He’s handsome in a way Newt can’t help but notice and suntanned in a way that’s out of place in the middle of winter.

Aren’t you supposed to make more coffee?” he asked, seemingly a weird mix of shy and cocky. It was really attractive knowing that he could battle Thomas’ quick tongue but also the way he looked down was sort of endearing. Thomas wanted to kiss him very, very bad, and he wasn’t entirely sure he understood how fast and hard this had hit him. The guy was just the perfect mix of sassy and shy, and Thomas’ mouth was a little dry.

So this is how it feels like. How could he have missed it for so long?

Summary: He almost started laughing when a distant voice was heard that definitely didn’t belong here. “Anyone down there? You okay? We called the repair company, they don’t know what’s wrong, but I think you’re safe. It’s gonna be a while before they can get there.” He left it up to Newt to answer, rising to his knees and freeing him of his boxers while raining kisses up and down his thighs and abdomen, only returning to his cock when Newt opened his mouth. A loud squeak left him that pleased Thomas way, way more than it should have, and he kept is ministrations up, relishing in being able to reduce his usually very articulate boyfriend to a blubbering mess this quickly. “Yes,” Newt started, clearing his throat and bringing his voice down an octave to its usual level, “We’re fine, it’s just me and Thomas. We’re fine, I just had lunch, and,” a small pause as he sent Thomas a stern look, earning himself only a wink and a happy humming as answer, “And Thomas has his mouth full. We’re set down here, don’t worry a-“ to Newt’s credit he almost managed to quench the moan. If you weren’t Thomas and knew he was getting his dick sucked, you’d probably just think he was a bit scared, “Aah-bout it.”
