Thomas, Newt and Minho are ordinary teenage boys with ordinary lives and ordinary problems — until they are caught in the middle of a surprise attack on their country. Thrown headfirst onto a fiery battleground, they must stick together to survive, but a lot of things change when you are at war and the price for life is higher than ever. [War AU, modern day]

The monster was probably already there when Thomas met Newt, sitting like a killer in wait, lounging around just behind the blonde boy's frontal lobe and biding its time until it was strong enough to make a difference. There was never Newt without the monster, not to Thomas. College AU. Newt has cancer AU. Slow burn, angsty. Chiefly NewtxThomas with slight Thomesa and Trenda.
