She was practically cursed to be someone to look out for since birth. Having lived her entire life in the Scorch, she was on edge, paranoid, and was always prepared to kill. Even if it made her enemies, she did what she had to to survive.
Aris knew nothing about that sort of lifestyle. His Maze and two weeks out there didn't make him cold. It didn't make him so dangerous that getting close to someone would risk their lives.
She did though. She was like that, so when this random boy she had a terrible first impression with told her to stay in the Safe Haven, she wasn't eager to take it. Not at all. Even if it was her only chance of normalcy.
Even if it was her only chance of falling in love.

Cursed Peace (Minho x Reader)
Peace is a funny thing. It is said that no man can ever truly find peace until death is upon him. Seeing as (Y/n) wasn't a man she really didn't have an excuse to not go out and find it. But what if the answer had been running by her side all along? Can the secrets behind the maze be uncovered or will a certain runners past doom them all? Minho x reader I obviously own nothin cuz I ain't a movie director or the author of the maze runner. I only own the plot lines I made up myself.Complete

teenage wasteland ;; the maze runner
" don't cry, don't raise your eye. it's only teenage wasteland." she arrived just the same as everyone else. scared, confused, and lacking fifteen years of memories. the only difference, however, was the fact that she was a 𝘨𝘪𝘳𝘭. nevertheless, florence made her mark. she learned pretty early on that every moment mattered, especially if she were trying to convince a group of boys that she, too, could be trusted. and helpful. two years later, flo had proven to be just that. with her secured job as the keeper of the medjacks (and the self assumed role as sister of the glade), things should've started looking up. too bad that good things don't last forever. after the death of their late leader, nick, and ben's mysterious day-stinging, florence was beginning to lose hope. that is, until a mysterious boy (and his comatose counterpart) arrived, flipping her beliefs upsidedown, sideways, and three-sixty degrees all with one scrap of paper. "she's the last one. ever." and so, along with the rest of the glade, it is time for florence to explore deeper within the maze. what else awaits them? awaits her?

REMNANT | THOMAS x TMR
The ice still screamed when it cracked. Even after they escaped, Kora swore she could hear it - the shriek of frozen walls collapsing behind them, the echo of blades scraping across endless white. The Glacire had been their prison, a labyrinth of glass and frost that glittered like a promise and killed like a trap. Now it was only a blur on the horizon, a wound of blue light swallowed by storm. Aris's breath came in ragged clouds beside her. Rachel's skates hung from her wrist, dripping crimson that steamed in the cold. The three of them should've felt free. They weren't. Freedom didn't sound like the thunder of aircrafts cutting through the snow. It didn't look like soldiers in black masks shouting for them to run. And it didn't feel like the ice beneath them trembling, alive, as if the maze itself refused to let them go. Kora turned once - just once - to see the Glacire's last secret vanish into the blizzard. The map they'd found, the thing carved into the thin membrane of a dead Skraith's wing, had led them here. Out. Alive. Or maybe straight into another trap. When they woke in the compound, Kora knew. The maze hadn't ended. It had just changed its shape. And when the new survivors arrived - one of them looked at her like he'd seen her before. Like he'd known her. But Kora didn't know him. Now she must figure out who this boy is, while also trying to figure out how to survive this ravaged world without her memories.
Out Of Order (TMR Fanfic)

She is stuck in the glade with no clue, no memory, and no hope, that is until she finds an unexpected romance. Will she fall in love? Will she make it out alive? Or will she die, a lonley Crank in the maze? (TW: eating disorderly content, suicide, self-harm, assault, death, blood, etc) There is a little lesbo stuff in here as well as straight romances so just beware. This is a warning for homophobic peeps. (This book also contains the rest of the maze runner series: maze runner, scorch trials, death cure, etc.) STILL EDITING!!! 2025- [Mind y'all, I wrote this in like 6th grade so don't hate too hard 😭😂]Complete
