Chapter 5: The Maze
(Y/N’s Perspective)
“All right, but why would Alby go in the Maze? I mean, he’s not – He’s not a runner,” says Thomas who’s sitting down on a log not doing anything, next to chuck.
“Things are different now. Alby went to retrace Ben’s footsteps before sundown, Look, are you going to help?” Newt says referring to the tree stump that him and Zart are trying to cut down.
“So, he’s gonna go back to where Ben was just stung?” Thomas replied.
“Alby knows what he’s doing, All right. He knows better than any of us,” Newt said and went back to chopping the tree stump.
Thomas stops for a second and looks down at the ground. “What does that mean?”
I look over at Newt who I can tell is getting a bit agitated from all the questions from Thomas. All right, it’s like you’ve heard, yeah? Every month the box sends up a new arrival. But someone had to be first, right? Someone had to have spent a whole month in the Glade alone, and that was Alby. I mean it can’t have been easy. But when those other boys, and girl,” Newt says pointing towards me, which earned a small smile from me. “Started coming up, one after the other, he saw the truth. And he learned that the most important thing is that we all have each other, because we’re all in this together.”
The whole time Thomas keeps his eyes on Newt, concentrating on what he’s saying. Thomas thinks for a moment before getting up and going over to the tree stump to help Newt and Zart.
He starts chopping at the tree stump. “Yeah, there you go greenie,” Newt stated.
Thunder starts rumbling and as soon as I hear that I get up. “I’m going to get going now, see you guys later I guess,” I say.
Zart and Thomas utter a small bye to me. “All right, I’ll see you later,” Newt says with a look of what I think is a disappointment but I’m not entirely sure because I can never tell what he’s feeling.
“Yeah, I’m going to go too,” says Chuck as he gets up and we walk beside each other back to the Homestead.
(Third Person)
All the Gladers are in the homestead to avoid the rain and also waiting for Minho and Alby to return from the Maze.
“They should be back by now. What happens if they don’t make it?” Ask’s Thomas.
“They’re gonna make it,” Newt replies.
Thomas walks up to Newt. “And what happens if they don’t?” Thomas asks again.
“They’re gonna make it,” Newt says again to reassure him.
“They’re gonna make it,” Newt says again to reassure him.
Once the rain stops all the Gladers gather at the entrance of the Maze, still waiting for Minho and Alby to come back. Newt, Y/n, Thomas, Chuck, Gally and a few others are standing in the front while all the other Gladers are behind them. The doors to Maze start cracking signalling that the doors are about to close.
“Come on guys, can’t we send someone after them” Thomas asks and Gally replies. “That’s against the rules. Either they make it back or they don’t.”
“Can’t risk losing anyone else,” says Newt.
The wind from inside the Maze starts blowing in everyone’s faces and the doors start closing. Just before everyone loses hope Thomas spots Minho and Alby in the distance. “There!”
“Wait no somethings wrong,” Newt says once he realises that Alby is on top of Minhos back.
“Is he stung?” Y/N asks.
“COME ON MINHO YOU CAN DO IT!” Chuck yells to encourage him. All the other boys start yelling for Minho to come faster.
As the doors are quickly inching closer together, Minho puts Alby down and starts dragging him by his legs. “Minho, you gotta leave him!” Gally yells.
Minho is so far away, and walls are quickly closing. Before we knew it Thomas had quickly run in the Maze just before the walls shut. “Thomas, no!” Chuck yells.
The walls are fully shut with Thomas, Minho, and Alby inside. All the Gladers on the outside are standing there in shock.
“Why did he do that?” Y/N asks in a panic and looks frantically between the Gladers. No one answers.
Y/N starts walking towards the Med-Hut very fast before Newt starts calling out to her. “Hey! Y/N, come back!”
Newt catches up to her. “Hey, where are you going?” Y/N continues speed walking away and replies. “Back to work.”
Newt grabs her arm to stop her from walking away any further. “Stop walking, let’s just stop and breathe. It’s fine.”
“No, it’s not fine! There stuck out there for the night. You said it yourself! No one has ever survived a night in the maze! I think we both know what this means,” Y/N says.
Newt stands there and looks down at his feet not knowing how to reply because she’s right. They’re probably not going to survive.
“We’ll talk later, I just need to be alone right now,” Y/N says before walking back to the Med-Hut. Newt watches her walk away before deciding to go back to her.

Reseña: The First to Die at the End, Adam Silvera
Mi Reseña en un Tweet:
Me lo vendieron como que iba a llorar de nuevo y la verdad casi, pero no: habiendo leído el anterior, el golpe de gracia se pierde Los personajes no me terminaron de cerrar, les faltaba algo, parecían la coraza de un personaje y el autor trataba de compensar su vacío con traumas
Comentarios adicionales:
Adam Silvera vuelve a esta dimensión paralela de nuestra realidad en que el mundo descubrió cómo saber cuándo van a morir las personas, y por ello surge Death-Cast, una empresa privada que ofrece llamar a sus suscriptores en la madrugada del día en que van a morir.
En esta precuela de "They Both Die at the End", el autor narra la muerte de Valentino Prince, el primer Decker de la historia. La trama gira en torno a la noche en que Death-Cast comienza sus operaciones públicas bajo la guía de su creador y director, Joaquín Rosa.
De algún extraño modo, la historia no tiene el mismo impacto que en el primer libro. Siento que cuando uno lee el libro original, se aferra hasta el último minuto posible a la esperanza de que quizás los protagonistas sobrevivan. La inexorable certeza y precisión de Death-Cast todavía es nueva para el lector, pero en el libro precuela, uno sabe como viajero del tiempo que la empresa realmente sabe quiénes van a morir cada día (aunque el autor evite nuevamente tener que imaginar alguna explicación ficticia, incluso en una época en que agregar "cuántico" a cualquier cosa baste para justificar la mayor parte de las tecnologías en ciencia ficción moderna) y la profecía para Valentino Prince se vuelve aún más imposible de escapar o evitar. Desde el momento en que sabemos a quiénes llamó Death-Cast, podemos asumir que Valentino está muerto.
Y sí, la historia no es realmente sobre la muerte del personaje, sino de cómo elige vivir su último día y lo que decide hacer por el otro protagonista de este libro: Orion Pagan.
Sin embargo, en un constante esfuerzo de "subvertir expectativas", el autor termina por crear nuevas expectativas en el lector sobre los giros que va a adoptar la trama y se vuelven fáciles de adivinar. No es a Orion, el joven con problemas del corazón, al que Death-Cast llama, sino al saludable y atlético valentino. Ni siquiera la sombra de duda que Silvera introduce con el "margen de error" del primer día (que tampoco explica, ocurre porque la trama necesita no ser tan predecible).
Un aspecto que me resultó molesto de la trama fue la necesidad del autor de hacer referencias al primer libro: creaba la sensación de una Nueva York más pequeña, en que oh, casualidad los protagonistas de The First to Die at the End se encuentran o pasan a metros nada más de los protagonistas de The Both Die at the End. Entiendo que Silvera escribe desde la experiencia de lo que conoce, nació ahí, pero pareciera reducir el tamaño y posibilidad del mundo en el que elige ubicar su historia. También otras cosas como la creación de la aplicación "The Last Friend". Me recordó a cuando James Dashner explicó los nombres de los protagonistas de Maze Runner.
Por otra parte, es una historia bien narrada, sabe cómo intercalar momentos de tensión y de alegría tanto de la trama principal como de las secundarias que terminan por colisionar con la primera hacia el final. En algunos pasajes abusa de ciertas metáforas y algunas son muy obvias o tontas (SOBRE TODO las de constelaciones o fotografías), incluso teniendo en cuenta la edad de los personajes, la perspectiva desde la que contemplamos la historia desenvolverse.
La crítica que hice en mi tweet-reseña a los personajes puede llegar a ser un poco injusta, considerando que la trama del libro sucede en apenas 24 horas (dada la naturaleza del argumento): es imposible llegar a conocer bien a una persona en tan poco tiempo, y es justamente uno de los puntos que trata de ilustrar el autor con este libro. Sin embargo, no creo que logre conectar con el segundo punto que creo trata de exponer Silvera: que por breve que sea el tiempo que compartimos con alguien, su impacto puede ser muy significativo en nuestras vidas. Con estos personajes no sentí eso: los conocí en un nivel superficial porque no había tiempo para conocerlos mejor, pero no llegué a conectarme del todo con ellos. Parte del problema para mí radica en que el autor recurre a llenar el vacío o la información faltante de ellos con traumas o eventos trágicos en su pasado, como un sustituto de personalidad que mueve apenas la trama en la dirección que necesita.
En general, un libro pasable, pero cuya historia pierde mucho peso haciendo leído el otro libro. Mi recomendación sería leer solo uno de los dos, quizás opinaría de They Both Die at the End lo que opino de The First to Die at the End si los hubiera leído en orden inverso.
5/10.

Men and Tea
Based on this request: “a newt fic with her using the “I like my men like I like my tea” and everyone’s staring at her until she says “hot and British” and newt is just like “hey I’m British” and she’s like “yeah i know” and he’s all blushy, flustered and cute?“

Is it a terribly dark day, or is it just you? You’re used to life in the Maze. You’re used to the constant feeling of never being able to fully relax, all because of the walls shading your back with every step you take. Sure, you can hang out with your friends, and laugh and joke all you want, but at the end of the day you’re still stuck in the Glade, with no way out. It’s wearing on you today, this knowledge. It’s wearing on everyone.
Everyone can sense it, too. Eventually Alby has had enough of seeing everyone moping around and announces that there’s going to be a Bonfire Night later in the day, which makes the Gladers perk up a little. Bonfire Nights are usually reserved for Greenie Days or particularly thrilling celebrations, so the fact that Alby’s given in and let one happen tonight should say enough about the overall atmosphere of the Glade.

Thomas x fem!Reader
Maze Runner (2009 novel - James Dashner, 2014 film - Wes Ball)
Word count: 1236
Summary: after a really great time the night before, it’s time for you and Thomas to face that maybe the acoustics of the Glade are not ideal for couples.
Content: implied sexual content (so heavily implied it’s not even “implied” it’s just not explicitly written), Thomas being a clingy little shit, fluff, morning after fluff, bad dialogue.
Notes: I actually have nothing to say for myself, enjoy some semi-domestic fluff.

Thomas Being Fruity Part 1
Newt was having a go at the door, with the same useless result. "It's locked" he muttered when he finally gave up, his arms falling weakly to his sides. "Really genius?" Minho said, his powerful arms folded and tensed, veins buldging all over the place. Thomas thought for a split second he could actually see the blood pumping through them. "No wonder you were named after Isaac Newton. Such an amazing ability to think."
Newt wasn't in the mood, or maybe he'd just learned long ago to ignore minhos smart remarks.
Sarcastic Minho is my favorite. But like.. Thomas what are you doing. You are in danger right now.. try to break open the door or something. 😂 He's just standing there staring and describing Minho's arms. But also same
Fucking Minho asking Newt to read what Aris' tattoo says even though he's standing right there looking at it. Talking about "Whats it say" dude you're looking at it too hahaha
Thomas Being Fruity Part 2
Aris and Thomas speaking to each other telepathically for the first time while face to face. (Apparently making intense eye contact cause a minute later Thomas said his eyes were watering when he finally broke his gaze with him) Newt: "what's going on? Why are you two looking at each other like you just fell in love!?"
What a weird thing to say lmao
And thomas is just like "he can do it too.""Do what?" Frypal asked "What do you think?" Minho said. "He's a freak like Thomas. They can talk in each other's heads" Newt was glaring at Thomas now . "Serious?"
No way bro wasn't jealous. Newt's thinking what are you saying to him that you can't say in front of us
Honorable mentions for sassy Minho in this scene Minho: "no more of your voodoo klunk while we're around"
Teresa: "This is my boyfriend Thomas, and this is Thomas's boyfriend Newt"
