Can I hear more about the Mazes & Mutants AU?
It's a concept I've had in mind ever since the Mazes & Mutants episodes aired, and it's simple. The Mazes & Mutants world is the real world for the Turtles and friends, so everyone has a part and they go on adventures together like a DND group.
The Turtles (+ April & Leatherhead) are the roles they are in Larping episode:
Leo - Knight
Raph - Barbarian
Donnie - Wizard
Mikey - Elf
April - Princess
Leatherhead - Dragon
And as they go on their journey they come across their all friends in this Larping world:
April - She’d still be a princess like in the ep but I’d add that she becomes a mage thanks to Donnie’s teachings
Splinter - King or a powerful sorcerer or both!
Karai - Thief (a robin hood like character who's called the "Princess of Thieves")
Mona Lisa - Barbarian (I have another idea in which her and Sal Commander are pirates but I'm torn between the two ideas)
Shinigami - Witch (shocking right?)
Renet - Oracle (honestly Renet's concept is my fav in this AU, she's an all seeing being that the Turtles go to for guidance)
Casey - Rogue or Viking (I can't choose)
Slash - Orc
Mondo Gecko - Bard (he'll bring the sweet tunes to the battle)
Alopex - Assassin (much like she is in canon)
Usagi - Knight

maze au disaster twins will be REAL in 5 4 3 2
Tumblr media
uhm uhh umm basically they were separated from splinter and the others back when they were first mutated and had to live in the hidden city and eventually (because they're both incredibly dramatic and silly) they make this giant mystic maze (sorta like the maze of death but worse and with more pizzazz and less pizzas) because SOMETHING'S gotta pay the bills and the kebab stand did NOT work out like they wanted. raph and mikey hear about these two turtle teens running a big ol' magic maze and are talking about it in the lair and splints overhears and is like "THEY LIVED???" and then they go to the maze to try and get in contact with the boys but end up IN it and so do some other characters and it's a big mess but it is so so so silly

Okay! Good morning/evening everybody! While I'm working on making Scene Two of the 🐻🐥FNAF🐰🦊 AU, I will open Requests, too!
(I finally learned how to open asks and such, and I'm enjoying it a lot! And to be honest, the reason I started posting here, was because I had ideas for platonic yans that I never saw others do, or if they were done, were romantically inclined, and I don't do romance. I'm happy that others are starting to get into platonic yandere Marvel stuff! Really, I am! I also started posting so I wouldn't forget my ideas, and so I could finally put them down somewhere)
I should probably make a list of what I do and don't do, right? A guideline, I guess:
Does:
• Platonic Yanderes
• X-Men (The Animated Series, Evolution, and X-MCU)
• AUs
• Some crossovers (just ask, and I'll be able to tell you what crossovers I am able to write for)
• Sedation
• Hugs and cuddling (freely-given or forced)
• Some gore
• Platonic breast feeding (that will be given a warning, though, when mentioned. It mainly goes with the 🍓Strawberry!Milk!AU, and some ABO AUs)
• Cannibalism (🧪Infected AU, and I guess possible mentions of Sabretooth doing that)
• Reader with a pet
• Reader with trauma
• Reader with a specific mutation or parent (just ask, and I'll see what I can do)
• Baby!Reader
• Teen!Reader
• YoungAdult!Reader
Don'ts:
• Romance
• S*x
• R*pe
• Inc*st
• Character brutally hurting Reader (I can do small but of hurt, angst, and the like, but will not encourage/mainly depict the yanderes as trying to torture or kill Reader. Breaking of trust is allowed) (Updated: I will sometimes write for this, but it has to have the platonic yanderes become better, a.k.a. become better people and not stay abusive or awful)
• Too gross of something (like eyeball gore. I can't do it. Too squicky for me. Just... egh...)
• Anything dealing with sh*t. No. Nope. Not happening
That covers what I do and don't do, I think. I will likely update this every now again as I keep writing and posting. I will make a small list of some aus I have made/am making, and crossovers I would/could write about:
AUs I've Made:
• 🧪Infected AU
• 🌺LotusEater!AU
• 🍓Strawberry!Milk!AU
• 🌑Darkest Night🌑 AU
• 🍯Bee/BeeBrood AU
• ABO Parent AUs
• ABO Wounded AU
• ABO AU (regular version)
• 🐻🐥FNAF🐰🦊 AU
• 🐉Wings of Fire AUs
• The Last Animus AU
• 🧿Clearsight!AU
• 🐉⛰Jade Mountain Academy📜🕯 AU
• 👑Majest💍 AU
• Dad!Dragon!Logan AU
• 🧪Drone AU
• 🧪Hivemind AU
• Frankelda's Book of Spooks AU
• 🕰Time-warp AU
• Evil AU
• Dark X-Men Evolution AU (inspired by A Better World (Justice League) and Same As It Never Was (TMNT 2003)
• Gem AU (Steven Universe AU, anyone?)
• 🦉Guardians of Ga'Hoole AU
• Mutant Mutants AU (The X-Men mutants are mutants like from TMNT)
• 🦖Dino Squad🦕 AU
• 💕LoveBug AU
• 👻Haunted Mansion🔮 AU
• 👾Eldritch AU
• 🦈SirenSong! Au
• 🪶Avian AU
Crossovers I Would/Could Do(They'd Become An AU):
• Pokémon
• Hunger Games
• Primal
• The Maze Runner
• Any fandoms/genres listed as AUs in the AUs list
Reminder! I write with Marvel characters, mainly X-Men, for the AUs and Crossovers. Reminder! Platonic Yanderes Are Not Healthy (We KNOW) But We Use Them As A Form of ESCAPISM. This is all FICTION, and Can NOT Hurt You (Physically)! Thank you for reading this, and have a lovely day. If any of this is not for you, then please do not read it. Your mental and emotional health is important, so pay heed to what is or isn't good for you. If this is good for it, then great! If it is not, please do not read this, or any of my works. All of this said, enjoy...

this is mostly for me to use when writing None Sword, since that au goes through both seasons of rottmnt, but having watched the show a bunch of times I feel like the actual order of events is different than what we see
mystic mayhem happens I think right before the school year starts or right after when it's still hot as hell, april is 16, raph is 15, leo and donnie are 14, and mikey is 13
repo man is happening at the same time as Hypno pt deaux, which is during the homecoming dance, so that's about 6-8 weeks later in mid to late October
shell in a cell and minotaur maze happen before fast and the furriest and mascot melee
down with the sickness might be as late in the season as post Late Fee
Gumbus and Mrs Cuddles are both very Halloween Episode to me so I feel p certain they're happening the weekend just before Halloween 2018, which was a Wednesday
Bullhop stays with them for a little over 2 weeks, based on what I remember of the screenshots I think it's January 8th through the 25th?
However I feel v strongly that Late Fee happens before evil league of mutants, which happens somewhere in late November or early December
Now I have to sit and think bc April does have a birthday in Season 1 but by the end of Season 1 she's been 18 long enough to get her crane operator license, so it doesn't make sense for season 1 to take place in less than 2 calendar years... but we know that evil league of mutants takes place on the 13th anniversary of the turtles mutation so it either needs to take place MUCH earlier in the timeline or we need to disregard any canon reference to April being 16 during season 1. if she starts the season as a 17 year old then the timeline works for season 1 being late August through March 20th
I am not willing to entertain the idea that april exists in a universe where you don't have to be 18 to get a crane operator license in New York! sorry!
I also feel like mind meld and truffle happen before evil league of mutants for reasons I can't get into now
snow day and Shadow of evil happen in january imo
Man v Sewer is clearly a spring break episode so I'm putting it in mid March right before the end of the season, maybe even the last episode before Mama Train
and obviously insane in the mama train-end game-many unhappy returns happen over a 3 day period but we know End Game and the beginning of MUR happen specifically in baseball season so the earliest they could be is March 20th, which was the first day of baseball season in 2019
anyway I have to ponder this because my HEART tells me this was just a bonkers 8 or 9 month period so April's canon age can't be right for ANY point in the show

Every version of 2012 RaMona in my AUs explained:
Turtles in The Roaring 20s - Raph is a famous jazz singer, Mona is a burlesque dancer from the lower class. Their love is forbidden but they are in a secret relationship.
Mission Failed - 10 or so years after the Turtles failed to save the Earth from the Triceratons, Raph now lives on Salamandria and is married to Mona Lisa. Mona constantly wants Raph to reconnect with his brothers who he hasn’t talked to since they failed their mission, but Raph refuses to listen.
Intergalactic Sisters - April is cockblocking Raph from making a move on her sister, Mona Lisa.
Mazes & Mutants - Raph and Mona Lisa are a barbarian warrior battle couple ready to ruin your day with their chaos. (that or Mona is a pirate instead of a barbarian)
Vampire AU - Raph is a vampire, Mona Lisa is a vampire hunter, hijinx issue.
Medieval AU - Raph is the Prince of the Hamato Kingdom, he falls in love with Mona Lisa, Princess of the Salamandrian Kingdom, but he is heartbroken to discover that she is engaged to his older brother, Prince Leonardo.
Princess Bride AU - Raph is Westly, Mona Lisa is Buttercup, you know the rest.
Human/High School AU - Raph is the trouble making bad boy jock and Mona is the overachieving student who is also captain of the basketball team. He's hopelessly in love with her, but Mona won't give him the time of day, but Raph likes a challenge.
Actor AU - Raph and Mona Lisa are actors for the TMNT show and they fall in love on set, being a couple in the show and in real life.
Greek Gods AU - Raph is Ares and Mona Lisa is Aphrodite (their tale and myth is slightly different from the actual one)

Okay okay okay okay, I’m jumping on the Minotaur!AU wagon because it’s spicy, but I’ve got an idea with Steve as the minotaur instead ~
(EXCELLENT Minotaur!Billy fics:
To Hold a Bull By the Horns by @lazybakerart  & fanart for it by @zayacv
Steve finds Billy in the labyrinth by @ghostofjellyfishforgotten )
• • • • • • •
They meet as kids. Like, tiny tot Billy who only knows that Steve’s fur is sooo soft, it’s prime napping material. That’s all he needs to be Steve’s friend.
But as they get older, they face the same things any kid deals with. On Billy’s side, he has his family drama, enforced martial training that he wants to enjoy but loathes. Any chance he gets to go sailing, he takes it, even at the risk of scaring the very land-oriented Steve with him.
On Steve’s side, he hears all the gossip. Was his mother cursed with the madness to love a bull? Was his father unfaithful and inso cursed by the woman leaving their mutant child on his doorstep? Was the entire town cursed as Thebes has been with the sphinx? That the heir of a family they looked up to for leadership in economy and wartime would be dumb as a bull?
But Steve wasn’t dumb. He had a mind like anyone else, and if anything, more feelings than he wanted to deal with.
He hurt as much as Billy, though in different ways. And he, along with the town, observed Billy grow up a little too fast. An odd thing, for gossip to swing in Billy’s direction instead of Steve’s, but the rage in the boy made many wonder if his mother leaving had not been the first time. Perhaps she left so easily for good, because she only used Billy’s father as a surrogate house in which to grow her demi-god child. Then whose was he? Ares, for his wild whims and quickness at learning the blade. Poseidon, for his constant eagerness to be on or in the water. Perhaps his mother had found a rare, male oceanid because of those eyes and hair...
Steve tries. He really tries. He does everything that’s asked of him. Every chore builds up his strength. Every book and conversation sculpts his ability to read a room and adjust his personality to fit it as best as he can.
But his feelings are too large. Every time his words soften for a girl, he gets ridiculed and ostracized. He fancies them, sure, but they’re terrified of mocking laughter and won’t let him so much as befriend them, let alone try any romantic intrigue.
The taunts that he should just be a beast, go into the pastures and take his pick there, finally do him in. He’s just an animal to them. Every chore isn’t giving him renown or compassion. They’d strap him with ropes and yoke if he but let them.
There’s rumor of a labyrinth. Not an actual maze, but a side of the country so magically entangled that it is impossible to escape once entered. Steve figures, if he is a cursed being, perhaps he belongs on cursed land.
He leaves the night his parents discuss such magic and lessons from the Fates. Steve hears his mother’s fear that something can give him the head of a man, but that they’ll never find it. Steve hears his father say that the gods’ lessons are never kind, and that only death would release Steve’s soul from his malformed body.
The only clue to his plans for leaving is how Billy finds him in town, getting his nose and ears pierced. Billy already had his own pretty things adorning his ears. Ever contrary to his father’s upbringing, he wore as much finery as leather.
But he cocks a brow at Steve getting his septum and three piercings in each ear. “So many at once? Healing and infection are serious, you know.”
“I know,” Steve said quietly. His voice did not match his head. A beast ought to have a lower voice, no? He’d taught himself to speak quietly after his voice changed with growth. Maybe his voice would match whatever human face he had in another life, in another universe...
His eyes watered with the pain, but he did not flinch outside of blinking his eyes. Large eyes, creek brown and green eyes. His mother always called his eyes sad, in the way that the most beautiful things are often the saddest parts of life.
Then he packed whatever bags he could reasonably carry with medicine and cleaning balms for his piercings - after he put the gold and jewels into his flesh that his parents had been gifted during his gestation. Little expensive items for a child to wear, and then sell as a man for his first home.
Or for a bull to keep, to buy his way elsewhere, or to pay the ferryman if he failed.
Steve isn’t there to hear the towns’ bells start ringing. Alerting everyone that he was missing and must be found.
Because magical land responds to magical creatures. Steve made good time crossing through the mountain ridge fencing in their valley. He was already in the labyrinth before he realized; observing mushrooms growing back before his eyes when he plucked them to cook for dinner -
“You’re new.”
Steve had already made his peace with the likelihood of never hearing a human voice again, apart from his own. Despite his size, he whirled around with all the speed of his surprise. But now he faced...something else. Something like him - not human on the eyes, but human in the voice.
“If I’m crossing your land, I’m sorry. I’m just passing through.”
“You shouldn’t even be alive.”
He grit his jaw and huffed through his nose. Even monsters were the same, then? He picked up his small campsite and began to continue on through another night -
“I didn’t say you had to leave. I only mean that my eyes kill most people.”
Steve paused, looking back at the woman with snakes for hair. She waved a hand with a woven bracelet on it. “My name’s Robin.”
“That’s ironic,” he blurted.
“It’s not worse than being a siren with such a name. Bird brain and bird name? Terrible.”
Steve breathed easier. “My name’s Stefano. Obviously, I’m not most people.”
He sat back down, and she joined him. He peeked at her sand-colored snake tresses and contrary blue eyes. When she caught him, he wondered if each head was connected with her own, allowing her to see and think from all directions. “Why are you staring at me?”
He shook his great head. He’d filed down his horns before his journey; a last comfort before leaving such files at home. “You remind me of someone.”
“Someone cruel?”
“He tries to be. But no. I know him beyond his cruelty.”
“Mm,” she chirped, and shocked him but dumping a whole bag of shellfish into his skillet. And then pilfering through his spice bag.
“Um...I meant to - to save those,” he urged, trying to get his bag back.
She let him take it, but not without succeeding with two little jars. “We have spices here, don’t worry. But after living so long on the coast, I’m used to raw and flavorless. Finding you is a little treat.”
She pointed those blue eyes on him. “Large, treat, I guess.”
But he slumped as she went about preparing their dinner. “If you have spices, then why don’t you carry them?”
“Because I intended to go back to my place, where they are.”
That lifted Steve’s posture, some. “You...know your way around here?”
The snails and mussels rattled loudly while she stirred, but quieted when she met his gaze. “We know our way around. It’s just land to us. For us. You won’t get lost here - outside of general,” she waved a hand in the air vaguely, “being new and all.”
Steve did not expect such comforts, especially so soon. “Then, there are more like us here?”
She nodded distractedly. “You can stay at my place until you have your own place built. But if you stand up and put a hole in my ceiling, you’re repairing it.”
Steve nodded a little even while he admitted in his quiet way, “I’ve never repaired ceilings before.”
Her hair rustled with its own movement; the snakes easing to one side while she gazed at him on the other. He felt her eyes roam over him, making certain stops on his ears and raiment. “You...grew up in a civilization, didn’t you?”
He nodded. “My parents are blessed in all things except me.”
Robin didn’t even hesitate in her reply: “Are you sure they’re your parents?”
If anyone else had asked him this, he would not have responded kindly. But Robin’s nature and stoic tone made the inquiry feel honest instead of condemning. Steve looked down at himself while he said, “I must be. Why else would they keep me? I have my father’s hands and my mother’s eyes. But something else’s face and tail.”
“Do you?” she exclaimed, and as if on cue, Steve’s tail whipped up to drape and hang between his thighs. “Oh, that’s adorable. Alright, you can stay.”
A small smile curved his features as if she had the power to declare such things. “And all I need are my spices?”
On a more serious notes, she refuted, “No. You need skills to live here.”
“Oh,” he mumbled.
“Like fishing.”
“Oh,” he said more lightly. “There’s water nearby?”
She cocked a brow at him and pointed the flat of her hand at the skillet. “Obviously. What’s a rich boy like you good at?”
One of his ears twitched, causing a metallic twitter to float over his head. “Um. I only really ever carry things. But I’m good at driving!” He recoiled. “I...I’m good with animals. I don’t usually like to admit that. Carts, wagons, ploughs, horses...goats. Dogs - ”
“I get it,” she said softly, amused. “We have all those here.”
“Really?”
“They wander in. They either die like the humans, or go wilder than ever with the food in here. We like to find them before either of those happen, though.”
Steve decidedly liked Robin a whole bunch.
As their meal descended to its final bites, he ventured to ask, “Did you not grow up in a city or village?”
She tilted her head from side to side before swallowing. “Countryside with my sisters and our dad. But dad died young. And my sisters are real bitches.”
Steve coughed on a snail. Robin waited for him to recover before continuing, “I had to leave. I didn’t feel...emotionally safe with them.”
Steve drank from his water container and agreed, “I understand. Are they here too? Since this place is so big and all...?”
“No, thank the stars. They went their own way to live in some cave system in the east. I hear stories every now and then. They still like killing.”
She could feel his question and gave him a little smirk. “It was never my thing. Outside of accidents and food.”
“Accidents,” he repeated before he meant to. “Sorry. I sometimes think aloud at the wrong times.”
“It’s not like it’s a secret,” she reassured. “You’ll see the statues here and there. Regular people who walked into the wrong forest. Met the wrong woman.”
Steve hummed an acknowledging sound before he realized... “The signs and architecture on the way here included statues.”
She smirked, albeit sadly at him. “Those are not for caution. Previous travelers made them in hopes of creating landmarks for themselves to find their way out. If you see signs warning of this place, you’re already lost.”
Steve had thought the signage and statues were odd, compared to the ones commissioned in his city, but who was he to judge artistic vision?
“Stone? You turn people to stone?”
“Mm hm,” she answered simply, flossing her teeth with some kind of string. “Just a glance and they never move again.”
“Wow,” he exhaled wistfully. A couple of snake heads, one on her head and another on her shoulder, glimmered in the firelight as they watched him tranquilly. “What do your neighbors do?”
She snorted softly and told him.
Meanwhile, Billy searched with everyone else. He rode and sailed in a twenty mile radius around their city.
Nothing.
It was an endearing testament and surprise at how Steve’s family insisted they keep searching. When the townsfolk faded back to their regular lives, their surprise turned into annoyance.
“We’ve had fine weather since he left. What if we kill him instead of return him?”
“We’re better off, right?”
“We’re no better or worse. There’s no difference.”
“Then fuck him. He left. No one cries when someone else leaves.”
But as soon as things began to settle, things stirred up again. Steve’s family was not shy about paying handsomely for whoever found their son, but now too were the young women passing whispers.
Billy stepsister told him, “Apparently a lot of dusty old men wanted their daughters to marry Steve. He’s wealthy, even if they think he’s a freak. But I think most of them are liars. The girls, I mean. They all talked so much shit while Steve was here, and now that he’s gone and they’re starting to get married off to strangers, they miss him. They miss how sweet he was to them. I think some are scared because Maria got married off to someone who hits her. Remember when Steve hid inside for a month after charging down that guy who hit Amoretta? Everyone made fun of him, but Steve’s not looking like such a beast anymore.”
Steve was never a beast to Billy. Quite the other way around. Billy was taught and encouraged to kill. He loathed himself for it. With whatever bravado he walked around town, he simmered down in Steve’s company. Longed for it. Longed for the company where Billy could speak quietly and still be heard. How Steve would smuggle instruments from his house for Billy to learn out on his boat. He liked watching Steve sew, and even more how different dyes looked on his dark brown fur, golden tanned skin, and all the tiny moles that united his color scheme.
But Billy was no better than the women. He’d said his fair share of cruel things to Steve, for no other reason that that’s what young boys did.
Now that Steve was gone, it had become abundantly apparent that the only creature close to a friend that Billy’d ever had, had run away.
“Pirates keep their gold in their teeth and their ears,” Billy remembered telling him, one evening on his boat.
“Why?”
“Easier to carry, and no matter what, they have a little cache of gold on them if they need it.”
Someone was going to have a whole lot of gold, that’s for sure, depending on who delivered Steve’s head, and to whom. Being a sword for hire, Billy knew that the only people to gossip more than women, were soldiers. Steve was known across the country, either by myth or by factual account of a visiting trader.
As he thought about the day he stood beside Steve getting his piercings, Billy decided that he stood the best chance of finding Steve alive. He knew Steve liked stories. No doubt considering himself plucked out of one, Steve had always carried a special gullibility in his mind and way of thinking. Which meant...
Would he?
Would he dare?
Of course he would. Steve - sad and sweet...and beautiful when his eyes brightened and those cow ears stood straight up when he got excited - would seek out the legendary place that matched himself. Odd, cursed, and doomed.
Billy packed his bags and loaded his boat, keen to have spare sail canvas and water-sealing pitch tucked away just in case. All magical places had water; the very Underworld had its rivers. Water was easier to navigate than land, so Billy cast off, and filled his sail with the dark, night before the dawn breeze.
It’s a day and night of sailing before it occurs to Billy that Steve could live in a field with relative ease. Just sit down if people show up, and they’d never know the difference between him or a cow. He would only run into trouble if someone tried to steal said cow -
Billy peered at the planks of wood knocking against his boat. In the early dawn, pink and periwinkle light, he recognized the twisted serpent staff of Hermes.
“I’m not sure Hermes meant for snakes to be taken as good omens or luck,” he murmured to himself, feeling the fog itch across his skin. The air was different here. He didn’t feel lucky. He felt watched.
And then, he felt the shore. The loud scrape on the underside of his boat nearly made him piss until he realized he’d struck a pebbled beach. He quickly made a small fire, and then extracted his oars. It was not long before he confirmed a confusing theory:
The waterway ended in a small bay. He rowed a lap around it before seeing his fire once more. So he pulled his boat ashore, and readied for the land. After a quick breakfast, he made a torch, only because fire was always handy to have.
Billy did not see the eyes watching him from the water as he plunged into the trees, nor how the water, as if alive, split the ground and rushed into a fresh stream.
He did, however, hear the voice attached to those eyes when the water met up with him many miles later.
“Left.”
He held his bag close, torch aloft even though it was midday. Even fire hurt, but he met the brown eyes of a woman’s face smirking up at him from the stream. “You’ll want to go left.”
“Thanks, but I don’t take the word of random women in water,” he disregarded, and jogged over the rocks to the other side.
“No,” she laughed, “you don’t take any words from women at all.”
She stood right out of the water, naked as anything freshly born as she stepped right over the water’s surface to meet him on the grass. He waved her away like something merely annoying. “Away, nymph. Capture someone else. I’m looking for someone.”
She sighed with an eye roll. “Typical sailor. Always barking instead of making conversation. What are you looking for? Or are you too man to ask for directions despite my already providing them?”
“Who,” he repeated firmly.
She smiled again. “How noble. Then who is he?”
Billy exhaled through his nose, like Steve used to. Billy missed him more than ever. “Tall. Brunette, but not like you.”
“I assume his name’s not Heather either, but I’m still listening,” she teased.
He pointed a benign glare at her. “Heather, then. He has the body of a man, but the head and tail of a bull.”
“That is interesting. How do you lose something so unique?”
“He left,” Billy growled, continuing his path once more. It was not out of character for a nymph to waste a man’s time for nothing more than annoying amusement -
“Yes. Left, for stars’ sake. You’re the bullheaded one. Stefano is a honeycomb in comparison.”
He whirled around, ready to draw his knife except she held her left arm fully extended, face silently telling him he was a moron. “I’m only helping you because he’s mentioned a pretty sailor like you before. But if you hear another woman’s voice, close your eyes. Don’t let your pride open them. And remember that snakes bite. Good luck.”
He grimaced with confusion at her before she disintegrated into a sparkling mist that blew away on the breeze. Billy felt inclined to shout, No shit, but angering a nymph was hardly a decent idea.
And Steve had spoken of him? Steve is here?
All Billy could do was indeed pivot left. His father had always openly, loudly declared him a fool for idealizing his mother’s superstitions. But heather was a lucky plant, she’d believed, and had decorated his room as a boy with bouquets of it. White, and all shades of violet, pink, and red infused his childhood memories. Good memories. With his mother radiating as the spot of yellow in the middle.
Following her goodness had always led him to his father’s cruelty. But also to Steve’s generosity. Steve only reciprocated to him when Billy was calm and soft natured.
So he went left.
Grass and mud turned into paved stone. A walkway underfoot, and then something like a street with how rustic columns lined it in staggered intervals.
He felt like a fool when he did hear a woman’s voice, and instantly shielded his eyes while looking at his feet. Her voice paused and she never addressed him, but he could feel the voice turn like she looked at him.
Other voices came and went. Like he were passing through a neighborhood or a dream. He wished he could look up, but he’d been told to guard his eyes, so guard them he did...
“All right, sailor,” he heard in his ear. “You made it this far. You can look up now. It’s his choice whether you perish or not.”
His?
He had not been warned off men in this place. Feeling more like a fool than ever, he did as he was told, and peeked up from beneath his hand.
Horns.
His first thought, was horns.
He’d...never seen Steve’s horns. He knew the body and head when he saw they sitting on the edge of a fountain, washing his hands, but this creature was more beautiful than Billy remembered.
Or had it really been that long?
But here sat Steve, with long, thick and glossy tresses of brown hair, shining like honey where the sun touched it. And horns that arched wide out of his head before curving to point upward. For some reason, it never occurred to Billy that Steve might have kept his horns from growing -
“Who the Furies are you?”
Woman.
Billy clamped his eyes shut and crossed the torch in front of himself; a weak defense without his sight.
“Look at me. You’ve already seen me in your periphery. You’d already be dead if you were normal.”
“I don’t trust the word of women,” he rushed.
Heather’s voice laughed. “Sure he does. He got here after some coaxing.”
“Billy?”
Steve’s voice. But...not full of air like it used to be. He spoke naturally, without hushing it - 
A hand covered Billy’s eyes. The world on the other side of his eyelids went dark, but he felt Steve’s large form move around and behind him.
“Move, Robin. None of your jokes.”
“Fine,” the first woman scoffed. “But I meant what I said about periphery. Sure you don’t want to test it - ?”
“Robin.”
Heather chuckled, voice molten like she knew something secret. Billy let himself be ushered quite a distance. It was a while before he heard a door and Steve’s hand left his face. “You can open your eyes.”
He did, starting with the floor. Gradually, his gaze traveled around a familiar style of house: a courtyard in the middle with a two-story tower on one side. Even the roof wrapping around the first level stood higher, though, perhaps on account of Steve’s new growth.
Billy rotated to see him. Steve blinked at the sudden movement, swallowing thickly. Of all the things for Billy to notice up close, he reached up to touch one of those soft, furry ears. “One of the holes closed up.”
The ear twitched out from Billy’s grasp, making what golden hoops remained jingle together. He gestured to his nose, and Billy realized that there, too, now lacked adornment. “I gave some pieces to those who helped me build my house.”
Billy almost scoffed. “You need money here?”
“No, but it’s still work.”
Steve maneuvered around the skeptical Billy processing that. “And where is here?”
“Uh...the Labyrinth?”
“It’s not a maze.”
“It is if you try to leave.”
“Have you tried?”
“No. I’m not leaving. But...you might not be either.”
Steve took his torch and stuck it into the coals of the cooking fire in the middle of the floor. Eventually, Billy did manage to scoff, “My boat is here. I’m not leaving it on the shore to rot.”
Steve peeked up at him warily. “I doubt it’s there anymore.”
Billy’s features began to fall the same time they heard a sing-song yell from outside as Heather sang, “New toys!”

thank u tea @its-tea-time-darling for tagging me 💛
Tumblr media
btw to those who don't know, im @newtmsa — this is my sideblog because for some reason when i post from my main, nothing shows up in the tag search :/
coincidentally, all of these are for the maze runner lol, so im just gonna go ahead and tag @fatigay, @mandolinearts and @vtforpedro because i'd like you to use this opportunity to self promo simply because yall make me fall in love with words with every fic u write 💛 now u don't have to read the rest of this post 😅
so!! my favourite five (5) fics that i've written:
1. to invent a language; M, newtmas, 67k
Two best friends, inseparable since the day they met, return from their road trip on different days. One moves out of town with his sister immediately, the other locks himself inside the house as soon as he arrives. The town in question is called Haven and, staying true to its small town workings, erupts in gossip.
A decade and a half later, it's an ordinary day of tending to plants and navigating workshops for Newt. Quite ordinary, indeed, until the Garden's doorbell chimes and an unexpected guest voices his presence.
Thomas always had a knack for turning Newt's world upside down, after all.
this fic is absolutely my best work and my most favourite thing i've ever written. my baby. my fucking cinnamon apple. i poured my heart into it and had SO much fun and aha! moments while writing it. it explores complicated feelings, the meaning of family, healing, forgiveness and love. if you'd like to read only one of my works, i'd say you should read this one.
2. when the red sun sets; M, newtmas, 8.2k
Safe Haven is safe in the way that they don't have to run anymore - from WCKD, from the Cranks and the Flare. They've got no outside threats to run from, but what happens when the threats come from within? What happens when those who have never known safety arrive to the safest place on Earth, and what happens when they are Newt and Thomas?
this one i word barfed from my heart too. it was very unexpected and probably the most cathartic piece of writing i've ever done. as the summary suggests, it's about healing from severe trauma together.
3. in the tide of a day; M, newtmas, 4.4k
Among gentle rolling hills where colorful meadows give way to lush evergreen forests and woods adorned with vibrantly colored leaves in all shades of red and gold, there is a small brick cottage with a garden so beautiful, it would turn middle-aged women set on seeing their lawns on the front pages of notable gardening magazines green with envy. In this lovely little cottage live Newt and Thomas, runaway WICKED mutants turned superheroes out of the sense of obligation and necessity. On their long-awaited day off, and as often as they can spare the time, they use their powers, bestowed to them as weapons, to shape their home to their liking.
superheroes au!! one of the fluffiest things i've ever written. alternatively: newt and thomas get some mf Rest. there's baking and cuddling and gardening and general domestic stuff. they're in love your honor <3
4. tell me what i feel is real (tell me that you feel it too); T, newtmas, 7k
Everything starts with a realization that maybe it's not usual to draw your best friend all the time.
or, Newt is a senior in college, Thomas a junior, and they've been sharing a dorm room for three years. Feelings Occur, but they refuse to admit it. Fun!
the summary says it all tbh. i still love this fic because it brought me back from my writing slump and came with the gift of bonding over it with sami (@newtedison) to whom this fic is dedicated to <3
5. ice cold but i'm still melting; T, sonyarriet, 1.9k
It is winter all year round, but Sonya finds herself experiencing spring.
this is a canon compliant (somewhat) slice of life fic where sonya and harriet fall in love in their maze <3 minimal angst, it's mostly fluff.
aaand because im proud of where this one is going, but it's still incomplete:
For Brighter Horizons; M, brenderesa, sonyarriet, newtmas, 18.5k (so far)
The world is unjust, especially to those who call themselves Mutants and Androids, but it shouldn't be. It doesn't have to be. When a revolution is set into motion, a chain of events caused by (mostly) chance meetings will show to Brenda and Teresa, Sonya and Harriet, and Newt and Thomas all the little reasons why the world they're living in is worth fighting for.
superpowers au!! mutants and androids and elves and other non-humans!! it's mostly action/adventure, planning and executing a revolution kind of a fic which is still mostly character driven! there will be three (3) chapters total, the first one is published and it is a brenderesa chapter! next one will be sonyarriet (it's currently in the works!) and the final chapter will be newtmas <3 im very excited to have more time to finish it, ive been having a hell lot of fun with it!!
tagging: @00250, @singt0me, @newtedison, @persnickett, @astralpenguin, @subjecta5newtella, @itsthemxze, @ambientdinostars, @newtswonderland, @filismaze, @dont-bee-shy, @seaselkie, @comebacknow, and for the rest i don't remember your urls im sorry 😭 but, i love reading works from every single one of you guys and i feel like you should shout about ur fic from the rooftops to the entire world. just a thought 💛 ofc no pressure tho!!

New Story Idea!!!! What’s y’all’s opinions?
Okay, so hear me out. Think about a crossover fic between Avengers, SHIELD, X-Men (all Marvel), Teen Wolf, Maze Runner (both starring Dylan O’brien), and possibly Divergent, and/or some DC shows. It sounds crazy chaotic, doesn’t it? But just listen.
     - It would be a Stiles/Thomas-centric fic, with Stiles (Teen Wolf) and Thomas (Maze Runner) being the same person.
     - Teen Wolf would be very AU, seeing as I would be bending the werewolves from supernatural beings to skinchanging mutants (like Mystique from X-Men).
     - Post-Winter Soldier (MCU), there would be major canon-divergence, with Hydra not trying to take over SHIELD, but instead staying hidden and heading up a new ‘scientific branch’ (going back to their origins in WWII) called WCKD (Maze Runner). 
     - Leap forward to after Endgame (Marvel), and the world descends into chaos, while, in addition to Thanos’ snap, a deadly virus known as the Flare (Maze Runner) breaks out across the world. Only Mutants (also known as inhumans, like in SHIELD), are immune to the virus. 
     - Hydra (under the name of WCKD) has now fully taken over SHIELD, and those still loyal to Coulson broke away and formed the Right Arm (Maze Runner), while WCKD proposed the idea of a cure to the world and started taking children.
     - Focus back on Stiles/Thomas and the pack (of mutants/inhumans), and Peter and Jackson have disappeared (aka, joined Right Arm), Noah Stilinski reveals a long-lost brother (Coulson), and Stiles disappears at age seventeen. (I know in TMR, Thomas had been working for WCKD since he was fifteen, but, ya know, this is fanfiction.)
     - We would follow Thomas (now not knowing he’s Stiles) as the Maze triggers his mutation (electrokinesis), and until he meets back up with the pack, which would have formed a team in Right Arm. (A team of mutants, like in X-Men, including Skye from SHIELD.) 
Relations between fandoms would be:
Stiles as Thomas (obviously)
Noah Stilinski and Phil Coulson being brothers
The pack (of mutants, not werewolves) basically morphs with the SHIELD team to create the team from X-Men
Aris from TMR is Peter Parker
Brenda is Christina (Divergent)
(more connections to come)
Well...what do you guys think? Is it too crazy? Do you think I should try it?
