    Summary

    “So tell me, Thomas,” Lawrence said at last, each syllable dragging through the still air like the tolling of a distant funeral bell, “what is it your heart desires so fiercely it casts all reason into shadow?”
    Thomas faltered—but only for a heartbeat. When he spoke, his voice was low, resolute, tempered by neither fear nor hesitation.
    “He’s my best friend,” he said. “And I’ll see the world burn before I give up on him.”


    Written as part of TMRSS '25, inspired by my giftee’s prompt:
    TDC movie canon divergence where they rescue Minho, Sonya and Aris, but Newt gets captured, and they break into WCKD HQ to rescue him. (happy ending where Newt gets cured please) (bonus points if Teresa survives too)

    Summary

    Something quiet and tender softened the creases around Newt’s eyes, and Thomas’ big stupid heart caught in his big stupid chest.

    Careful, he wanted to say.

    Or: life in the Safe Haven is slow. Newt and Thomas are working on getting up to speed.

    Summary

    They had been planning for months, and Newt noticed the shoulders of the brunette were always tense, and his eyes were always far in thought as he stared off into the distance while other spoke. He wasn't the confident, slightly arrogant bastard Newt felt comfortable following, comfortable settling into second-in-command. No, he was distant, tense, and jumpy, something Newt wasn't sure how to handle. Thomas had always been so sure of himself, and now Newt wasn't sure how to help him, or if he even wanted any help at all.

     

    "If we lived in a different world," Thomas started, opening his eyes slowly to look at Newt. "I'd probably get down on one knee and marry you."

    Newt stared shocked for a moment, but a grin took over his lips and a blush crept up his cheeks from his neck. "Take me to that safe haven and maybe that can be arranged."

    Summary

    “Breathe, Tommy.”
    Ba-bump
    “Listen, there you go. Listen to my voice. I’m right here.”
    Bump-ba-bump
    “Just feel Tommy, that’s it. Feel my heart. ‘S just the same as yours. Good that, huh?”
    Ba-bump.
    “That’s it, love.”

    “You were dead,” Thomas speaks after a pregnant pause, his voice scratchy and raw from what he can only assume was his own screams.

    It hurts.

    “I had– I had pulled the trigger and it didn’t- it hadn’t missed, this time, Newt. It didn’t miss and you- fuck, ” He chokes out, a sob high up in his throat, the barbed wire digging further and further into his skin. The sobs come out harder, now, violent and unforgiving as they shake Thomas’ broad frame. And Newt— Newt can feel nothing else except for the anger making itself at home in his bones at the fact that Thomas, brave, and stupid, and so very beautiful Thomas was being terrorized by his own mind; its claws digging and forcing themselves into his head, and placing down roots unable to be weeded up.

     

    OR

     

    Thomas has nightmares. Newt helps. And then some.

    Summary

    As the crowds disperse in the twilight and the trucks drive away, Thomas watches Safe Haven’s massive front gates begin to close on the outside world with a huge dull groan. The sound of it settles deep inside his chest. "C'mon Tommy," Newt calls easily from the huddle of their friends, sunset lighting them up in a way that makes Thomas's heart squeeze, nothing more noticeable than the gold in Newt's eyes. Thomas turns, but can’t resist a final glance over his shoulder at the forests beyond the gates. He freezes.

    Because this is what Thomas knows.

    She’s not there, not really.

     

    or; there is no such thing as utopia, because utopia cannot be
