    Summary

    “Newt, do you remember how we talked about the dangers of turning someone into a saviour?”
    “Yeah. It’s not a good idea to link our recovery to any one person, because if they let us down, it can endanger our progress.”

    When he's diagnosed with acute social anxiety, Newt finds himself at the Glade Youth Institution, which promises to release him as a fully functioning member of society.

    Months into Newt's recovery, a new patient arrives at the facility. Thomas is instantly intriguing, an apparent depressive who can't remember the suicide attempt that landed him in the Glade. Around Thomas, Newt almost feels like he could get a handle on this anxiety thing.

    (Or the mental illness AU that nobody asked for.)
