Summary
Most of Death Cure from Newt's POV as he slowly succumbs to the Flare. Half a written version of what happens in the movie, but from a different perspective, and half the other outcome, one of the ways it all could have ended.
Featuring deleted scenes because I swear they're more canonical than half the actual movies.

Summary
Draco is given a life sentence in Azkaban after the war. Just weeks later, Harry receives a message from him, the handwriting shakily conveying an apology for everything he's done. Furious at the world for locking up an eighteen-year-old, Harry apparates to Azkaban immediately, and discovers some horrible truths about the triangular prison. At first, he tries to convince himself that he only cares so much because the world is an injust place and he's trying to be the saviour again.
But when he begins to unravel the truths and lies making up Draco Malfoy, he's no longer as certain.

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.

Finding Home In Your Heart by writingbykatherine

Summary
Newt can't sleep. The nightmares are what wake him up, but thoughts of Thomas are what keep him awake far longer. He doesn't know why his heart always beats so fast, or why his courage evaporates the minute the sun rises, but he knows for certain that lying awake just thinking isn't going to get him anywhere.
Literally just a soft oneshot of pre-Maze Newtmas, because I felt like giving them something tender instead of the usual angst.

Summary
We all break. It’s a part of being human, as much as breathing is. So we put ourselves back together as best as we can and learn to live with the cracks and scratches that life brings us. When we break totally, we need someone else's help. But what happens when there’s nobody willing to heal you?
Draco Malfoy has never really had an easy life. Self-harm, nightmares, and panic attacks have been a part of his routine since he was young. After the war, though, he's locked in Azkaban. Tortured by his personal guard and the Dementors alike, he's slowly losing his strength to fight back.
Harry Potter has also been facing issues since the war ended. Although he's famous, the guilt and nightmares eat at him constantly. He knows Malfoy shouldn't be in Azkaban, but there's nothing he can do to stop it. Until eighth years are invited back to Hogwarts.
The two boys have more in common than either of them realize, but old habits of hatred and jealousy, combined with a burning desire to be self-sufficient, die hard. During their eighth year at Hogwarts, secrets will come out, secrets that may drastically change everyone’s views on what forgiveness can really mean.

Summary
Theo isn't answering the phone; Liam figures they can argue the finer points of caring for each other later, maybe at his house? Out of the cold? With a movie, and pizza, and some more honesty?
– But this is Liam, and he’s Theo, and they’re not meant to be honest. They’re supposed to argue nonstop. It’s too much too quickly, so Theo forces a shrug. “You’re not supposed to care,” he says, unable to keep his voice completely neutral. "You're not supposed to care about me." –

Summary
Jesper's been overprotective of Wylan since they moved into the Van Eck house together. So protective, actually, that Inej decides to spout some Suli wisdom at him – he can't keep Wylan away from danger in Ketterdam. The two words are synonymous. He hopes she's exaggerating, but when a simple diversion goes off the rails, he realizes just how right she is.

Summary
Merlin being cold somehow leads to a long discussion in Arthur's rooms. The king hasn't been as oblivious as Merlin thought, but he's also not as callous as he'd like others to believe.
Basically just fluff after a slight bit of angst, and merthur being domestic like they always are.

Summary
Draco Malfoy has always been the perfect picture of an arrogant, selfish, Slytherin . . . until Harry comes across him in an unlikely situation. Maybe it's the moonlight, maybe it's the white sheets, maybe it's the lack of tension in Malfoy's face, but Harry can't help but notice how young he really looks.
After all, Draco is just eighteen.

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.
