    Summary

    Newt has an unhealthy obsession with shiny things—like glinting metal, fresh mint leaves, sunburnt abs, & dangerously sharp blades. Add an absurdly hot brunette into the Glade, and suddenly, his survival instincts? Gone.

    Or; Gladers forge iron, climb higher, and most importantly—set Griever parts on fire. But what’s the point in reaching for the skies when every step feels like a fall? Minho’s silver tears shimmer as another boy is lost, all the while Tommy’s stupid, golden eyes still brim with hope. A hope Newt can’t hold onto anymore. Not when Alby is the moon, forever distant, and he’s stuck, fumbling with bolts that never quite fit.

    Newt’s slipping again, and he’s so damn tired of catching himself. Maybe it’s time to stop fighting the fall. Or maybe it’s time to let himself fall for the one who’s been waiting to catch him all along.

    This story of discovery is for the Soldier; Love or duty—choose wisely.
