I Just want to start off by saying... WELCOME TO THE GLADE SHANKS AND SHANKET!

**August 3 & 14, 2023 Defender was rated #2 in the hash tag Minho ❤️**

I have taken the book plot and the movie plot and my own OC story arc and twists and wove them together. I stretched out the timeline a bit, but the major events will still happen, just mixed together and not necessarily in the same order. I wanted to write a fic with a strong female lead. And I hope I have done her justice. This is a Minho slow burn story. There is no smut, but there are a few spicy scenes. Minho is definitely my favourite! - I do love Newt, and I feel like Newt has SO many stories. (Don't worry, Newt has a good story mixed in!)

** I want to give all proper credits to the One and Only; James Dashner, and to his amazing story: The Maze Runner (and the rest of the books in the series.) I also want to give all credits to the director of the movies Wes Ball.

I take inspiration from the movie and books,  The book starts a month or two before Thomas arrives. And Chuck is already there, he was the Greenie before Alex. 

I know the first few chapters are a little slow.. but I promise it speeds up! I appreciate any and all feedback! Just be kind about it! Interacting with other readers/writers would be amazing! 

So, Character list:
Each Glader is played by the movie characters, because no one can replace them! 

Red headed katherine mcnamara as Alex

My AI version of Alex. This is more the Character I envision of Alex.

Ki Hong Lee as Minho

Thomas Brodie-Sangster as Newt

Dylan O'Brien as Thomas

Blake Cooper as Chuck

Will Poulter as Gally

Aml Ameen as Alby

Kaya Scodelario as Teresa

Alexander Flores as Winston

**I love Dexter Daren as Frypan, but I imagine Fry more like the Book Frypan. (Don't hate me!)

** And I don't really have a face claim for Matt or Chris- they both are an OC.
