Summary
He should have been a blacksmith. Or even an errand boy, or a fisherman, or one of those men who stand on street corners and shout things.
(Thomas is not very good at his job. Weirdly, very few care.)

Summary
Scene insert for Scorch Trials, imagining what it would've been like if Thomas had been (temporarily) rendered deaf from the lightning strike. Of course, Newt's the one who helps him though the ensuing panic, and keeps an eye on him well after the actual event.
Honestly unsure if it's set in the books or movies, take your pick.

Summary
After Thomas leaves Newt on the ground, knife in his chest, Brenda, Gally, Frypan, and Minho stay. About to pay their last respects and then return to the berg in hopes of saving Thomas, Minho leans in just a bit closer and what he discovers changes absolutely everything about their circumstances. And it makes getting Thomas out of the Last City all the more important.
Upon his entry to the Safe Haven, Thomas just might have to face something harder for him than running the Maze, the Scorch, or even entering WCKD. He can't share his past, can't share those feelings he's had burning through him for as long as he can remember. They're too painful. But he can't quite ignore them either.
Begins in the movie perspective, as Teresa's announcement echoes through the Last City.
