    Summary

    An Erased au for the Maze Runner series, including the main fic i was the only one who was looking at you and oneshots in the same universe. Absolutely no knowledge of Erased itself is needed to understand this (although i highly recommend it as its own thing bc it's great) and oneshots say whether or not they can be read as a standalone

    i hope you enjoy : D

    Summary

    It was fine. He was fine. He’s working on his feelings, albeit in an unorthodox way — “You can’t go cold turkey and not expect to have Stratt withdrawal symptoms,” Carl argued the other day. He hated that he called it that, he hated it even more that in some twisted way, it was kind of accurate.

    or

    Grace refuses to admit he's jealous and naturally, no one believes him (not even himself really). Stratt thinks it's unproductive.

    Summary

    Grace’s next sleep-cycles are peaceful, and Rocky hasn’t needed to comfort him. Not that they mind doing it, but it’s a relief that he has had good sleep.

    But now, as if the roles are swapped, they’re the one troubled now.

    In which Rocky comforts Grace, and Grace comforts Rocky.

    Summary

    "Rocky doesn’t respond, other than continuing his wordless trill. The sound triggers a memory, a bunch of different moments, rolled into one: sitting with my knees pulled up to my chest– in my classroom after my students had all gone home for the day, in a corner of my tiny apartment, hiding out alone in Stratt’s office– anxiety crushing my chest so tightly that I couldn’t breathe, that I was sure the world was going to fall apart around me.

    A panic attack. I get panic attacks. That makes sense for me.

    Is Rocky having a panic attack?"
    ***
    AKA Grace gets a lot of hurt comfort and Rocky deserves some too!
