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

Summary
“What’s that for?” Newt asks, admittedly a bit nosily if interested enough. He’s protective of the house, still feels a connection to the property despite his eventual goal of clearing it out with his parents blessing.
Thomas blinks as he waves the car-antenna-wand around the old crown moldings of the living room, collecting a slightly embarrassing number of cobwebs but nothing more. “It helps to establish para-activity levels in the airwaves.” He frowns in confusion. “Is this your first time with a ghost? Really? I thought everyone in England had a Ecto in the garden or a wraith in the attic.”
Newt shrugs, slightly British and hopeless. “I grew up in the suburbs. I doubt any ghost would pick a mid-level semi-detached over a castle down the road.”

Summary
“Cd’s ood?” Thomas sounds out, frowning and bright with interest and asking questions as always.
Minho follows his line of sight up to the top of the building. “W.C.K.D is good.” When Thomas turns to frown at him, puzzled, Minho nods up at the lettering. “They were some crazy last ditch attempt from the governments to restore order. Had some big plan to find a cure for the Flare or whatever.”
Thomas lets out a disbelieving laugh. “A cure? To the Flare? What, were they crazy?”
Newt snorts and continues to dig through the small pile of debris with the practice of a scavenger, looking for anything they could use or barter or trade. “That’s the most likely scenario.”
(Or; Thomas is looking for his family. Two mysterious boys named Minho and Newt find him instead.)

Summary
So, most of them live at the Tower and there are a few adjacent types, and every so often there are strange moments of utterly bizarre normalcy that Minho almost forgets about all the...everything.
Sometimes at night Minho lies on the roof of the Tower and just watches the sky, and he thinks about if Newt has houseplants, or wears a certain type of sock, or if he has a favorite flavor of ice cream.
(Or; They're all human-adjacent, but they’re still people.)

Summary
They were beautiful together in the graveyard under the swaying tree. Newt, blonde and pale, kindly patient as death itself. Brenda dark and mysterious, guiding nature down carefully manipulated paths. Thomas wants to take a picture. He doesn’t. Some things are supposed to be fleeting. Teresa takes his hand, squeezing it once in unspoken understanding.
They’d fallen in love with magical things, the both of them.
Or; Thomas is trying to grow up, Teresa's just trying to throw a party

Summary
At some point during their search of the party they stumble upon a girl whose shirt shifted and changed, the embroidered flower pattern blooming and wilting in a continuous loop. They’re both slightly mesmerized. Newt leans over, lips so close that they brush against the shell of his ear. “I don’t think we’re in Kansas anymore Tommy.” A sunflower petal drifted down the girl’s arm.
“It’s ‘feeling’.” Thomas rasps out, heart jackhammering, watching the living shirt grow and decay all over again.
Newt quirks his scarred eyebrow indulgently. “What?”
Thomas turns, their faces inches apart and trying to keep his voice even. “It’s ‘feeling’. The line. People always say it wrong. It’s ‘Toto, I’ve a feeling we’re not in Kansas anymore.’ People always…they always get that one wrong.”
Newt’s playful smile shifts into something teasing and, yes, dangerous. Maybe just a bit beautiful as well.
(Or; In between glowing screens with promises about his future and cracked pavement that spilled his memories, for one summer, Thomas floats.)

Summary
“It’s the family business?” Newt offers and Thomas’s eye twitches. There is a moment of silence. This is, to Thomas, not an acceptable explanation and/or argument.
“I thought your mum was a head hunter!” Thomas shrieks.
Or; Newt is death, Thomas is just along for the ride.
