Harriet universe 🥺 explaining to Harriet that Maddie is moving in and maybe a cute lil phone convo between him and hen

“Hare-Bear, there’s something Maddie and I need to talk to you about,” Chimney says a bit nervously, placing his almost four year old in his lap.

“Talk about what, daddy?” she asks, those big curious eyes that he loves so much on full display.

“Do you remember when Maddie was staying with us for a bit?” he questions gently, stroking her hair.

“Yes! Was fun!”

“Well, Maddie and daddy were thinking... well, that it was fun, but more importantly... Maddie and daddy love each other very much and would like Maddie to be here all the time. But we want to make sure that you’re okay with that first, because you’re a member of this family, too.”

“You wanna stay?” Harriet asks, pointing a finger at Maddie.

“Yes,” she smiles nervously, “I want to be with you and your daddy and join your home. But like you’re daddy said, we want to make sure that’s okay with your first.”

“Okay.”

“...Okay?” Chimney asks, a bit surprised by the casualness with which his daughter delivers her answer.

“Okay, daddy! Love Maddie.”

“I know you do, and I love her very much, too, but we just--”

“Should stay! Can play with me more often.”

“Yes, that’s certainly right. If I’m living here I’ll be able to play with you more often,” Maddie grins, coming over to kneel down in front of Chimney and Harriet on the couch, “can play more, sweetheart, and be there to help your daddy put you to bed. Your daddy and I are working towards the three of us being a family, okay? But if this feels too fast or weird or--”

“My friend June has a step-mommy! Moved in with her and her daddy.”

“Well, Maddie and I aren’t married--”

“And Henry has his mommy’s boyfriend living with them. Said it was weird at first but now he likes it because mommy seems happy and now he has less time that he has to be in the car.”

“Well, that’s one to put it,” Chimney can’t help but chuckle, and in response Maddie can’t help but roll her eyes at him before she gets serious again.

“Harriet, sweetheart? I just want you to understand that while I love you and your daddy very much, I’m not trying to replace anyone-- I’m not trying to replace your mama. She’ll always be your mama and I’m not trying to take that away, okay?”

“Mama’s up in the sky watching us.”

“That’s right,” Maddie nods with a small smile, “she is. She’ll always be apart of you and your daddy’s hearts and I would never, ever want to change that. I just hope you understand that.”

“Okay! Got mama in the sky and Maddie living with me and daddy. Can we read a story now?”

“...That’s it?” Chimney asks incredulously, “you’re just--”

“Yes,” Maddie giggles, lifting Harriet up from off her father’s lap, “we can go read a story now and then maybe we can share ideas about how we’ll redecorate a bit when I move in. I think your daddy needs more color, don’t you!”

“Green!”

“Yeah, maybe a little more of my favorite girl’s favorite color.”

It’s hard for Chimney not to tear up a bit as he updates Hen over the phone, with how grateful he is that Harriet took it so well and that he moved forward with inviting Maddie to join their family more, well, physically.

“She’s three and she loves Maddie. What did you think she’d say, Chim?” Hen laughs, “not that I’m not glad it worked out, I just was expecting it to.”

“I know, I know, she loves Maddie. It’s just... kids don’t always love change, you know? And as much as she loves Maddie it’s still a big change, so I’m glad I got her stamp of approval.”

“Harriet’s a smart girl, you’re always telling me that... I think she wants her daddy to be happy.”

“Well, also Maddie to be around to play with her more often, she said that verbatim.”

“And for her daddy to be happy. I know it wasn’t always easy, Chim, but you’ve done a great job with her. You’ve been an excellent single father and you deserve to now be able to breathe a little bit, to have someone you both love around to help raise her. She’s only almost four but Harriet’s always been a bit wise beyond her years.”

“I may have been a single dad, but I was never completely alone. Had you.”

“Oh, don’t be all mushy,” Hen scoffs, but Chimney can hear a hint of tears in her voice, “and no, you were never alone, per say, but... this is better, right?”

“Yeah,” he nods emphatically, tears of his own in his eyes, “this is better.”

[fandomfiish]

(set in the movie-verse) They got out of the Maze.

They got themselves out of the Scorch.

They finally rid themselves of WICKED's clutches.

They're finally safe in Safe Heaven.

But Minho can't seem to feel happy.

The sacrifices that were made, for him and the others to arrive here were not easy to move on from.

Ben, Zart, Alby was lost to the grievers of the Maze.

Chuck, who got out of the maze still died from saving Thomas from Gally.

Winston, who they lost from something they knew nothing about before.

The Experiments that WICKED did to him when he got caught still plague his mind till now, he wonders if him sitting here near the bonfire besides Jorge is real. That Newt really died, that he failed in one thing he was good at.

Running.

He failed to run to get the serum to Newt before it was too late the fact that Brenda managed to arrive there before him thanks to the bullets firing at the direction he needed to rin, once he arrived there was Newt laying lifeless on the floor and Thomas was nowhere in sight.

And Thomas.

The greenie, who he met after his daily runs in the maze.

The greenie, who disregarded the rules to save him when he couldn't get out of the maze with Alby before the gates closed.

The greenie who didn't abandon Alby when he did and managed to kill a griever and changed everything.

The greenie was the reason he was in a maze, yet he, Newt, and Chuck forgave immediately after his confession.

The greenie who got them out of the maze, and into the scorch.

Thomas, who got them out of WICKED's clutches once more and escape to the scorch.

Thomas, who went to him once he got struck by lightning.

Thomas, who despite Teresa's betrayal and a clear shot of running away when WICKED infiltrated the Right arm's base, still decided to stay with them.

Thomas, who ran after him when Minho got himself caught by WICKED.

It was Thomas, who lead the others in finding him.

It was Thomas's voice, who woke him up in the surgical room.

It was Thomas, who believed in him. And Minho believed in him too.

He had lost almost everyone he cared for, in the Maze, the Scorch, the city.

And when he saw the bullet wound in Thomas's stomach it was as if his world started crumbling down. Everything around him was a blur, voices static as his hands went to the wound immediately went to the wound, stopping it from bleeding.

All he could remember is how his blood-stained hands, Thomas's blood, and they were already at the Safe Haven, and Thomas lying in the makeshift medical room that Gally and the others made.

The only thing that registered to him was the slow yet steady movement of Thomas's chest.

He's still alive.

He never left the room during the first two weeks. The others understood him, the Gladers the most with Frypan delivering food to him so he's still eating, or when Gally and Brenda would take over in watching over Thomas whenever he needs to use the restroom.

He never slept, no, he can't sleep.

Because whenever he tries to even close his eyes, all he could ever see were the deaths of his friends, seeing Newt's body on the floor, and his hands stained with Thomas's blood.

After one particular nightmare of Thomas dying on the plane, he swore to never sleep until Thomas wakes up.

But after those two weeks, Vince with the help of Jorge and the other Gladers managed to coerce him out of the room, and with great difficulty.

The only thing that got him out was the thought of Thomas and Newt mocking him for just sitting down and doing nothing, with Newt's accent saying. "Get your bloody ass up and go do something."

It got a smile out of his face but was gone in an instant. Yet he got the message, so he agreed.

So that's how he found himself sitting in the bonfire with Jorge in his side, sharpening sticks of wood into stakes. It's been two weeks since he got out of the Medical room, and a month since Thomas's unconsciousness.

There was a nagging voice in his head that kept repeating, Thomas will never wake up, but he manages to tune it out most of the time.

But sometimes the thought overpowers him, leaving him breathless as his eyes wander up to his hands, as the scenery of the sun in the beach changes into the night in the helicopter, as his hands which were holding a knife and a wooden stake turn into bloodied hands, as he hears a distant voice yet he could only focus on his hands.

"Min-"

His own bloodied hands.

"Minho."

Stained by the blood of Thomas.

Thomas.

"Hermano."

Minho blinks, as the scenery changes back into the beach, and there was a hand placed on his shoulder, Jorge's hands. And felt himself being able to breathe.

"I'm..." He tries to formulate a valid excuse of why he almost got a panic attack in broad daylight but all he manages to say was. "I'm alright."

The other let out a laugh, and he gives a look that meant he doesn't believe him when he finally manages to stop.

"You know no one believes you when you say that right?" Jorge spoke softly, Minho would've glared at Jorge if he were any of the other adults in the safe zone, but after all, they've been through, Jorge is the only Adult he trusts in the Safe Haven.

"Is it about Thomas?"

He can only nod.

He hears a sigh coming from Jorge, it wasn't a sigh of annoyance, rather a sigh that Minho thought understands him.

"He'll wake up kid, that kid is tougher than anyone here. So don't worry, Hermano." With one last pat on the back, Jorge went back to carving up stakes.

He wanted to stop worrying, to do something productive in the place they now call home.

Yet he can't.

Minho could only worry about Thomas.

That was one thing that occupied his mind as well. His worry about Thomas. He questions why does he worry about him so much, ever since they survived the maze that fateful night he always seems to worry about the other's wellbeing, especially when he would try to go inside the maze alone to check the dead griever.

He wonders why he worries so much about Thomas, he doesn't feel like this with the other Gladers, to Newt.

Only Thomas.

And that's what confuses him, he knows that what he feels about Thomas is different. He just couldn't pinpoint what that is.

His eyes wandered to Aris, who was happily talking with Harriet and Sonya who were holding hands. He remembers during the first week he heard from Brenda that the three are officially a couple. At that time he didn't mind it that much because his mind was occupied by Thomas.

But looking at them now, he couldn't help but be happy for them. They manage to find something to live for during to times, and Minho couldn't stop the feeling of longing to have that as well.

It was sudden yet it was strong. He imagined being happy in the safe haven with that person, walking around the beach. He imagined running together in the forests nearby, mostly to scout the area but mostly for fun.

His eyes wandered again and this time his thoughts were who that person might be, which was hard because the only person who was even in his mind after arriving in safe haven was-

"Thomas."

He spoke without thinking as he stared at the figure slowly walking in the distance, and he thought his eyes were playing tricks on him.

But there he was.

Standing and Awake.

Thomas is awake.

His body moved on its own. The items he was holding were dropped to the ground which caught Jorge's attention who followed where he was looking and he dropped his own items, but Minho already stood up and started walking, slowly yet decreasing the distance between him and Thomas.

Time seemed to slow down when their eyes met, and both of them stopped. He heard footsteps behind him, and he knew it was the others yet he couldn't care because Thomas is awake.

Thomas looked tired, he looked like he went through hell and he did. They all did. And Minho wanted to say something, anything because he knew the other is already blaming himself for Newt and Teresa's death. He knew that none of them would be ok after that and he wanted to console Thomas about that.

But Minho knew it was Newt who were good were words, and Newt's gone. So he does it in the way he knew best, by actions.

Slowly he shortened the distance and opens his arms, finding that Thomas was doing the same and once their hug connected, he felt like he was finally home.

It was tight, it was warm, it was everything Minho could ever want and from the way, Thomas tightened his hug, he agrees. The hug removed every worry he had about Thomas never waking up.

It was as if Minho had an epiphany.

All those feelings he had about Thomas, all the worrying and everything else, it was love.

He loves Thomas. Because to him, Thomas was his home.

He just hopes that Thomas feels the same way because they only have each other now and he doesn't wanna lose him too.

Their hug lasted a lot longer than anyone would've thought, and even as the separated Thomas hands went to his caress his cheeks as their foreheads are now touching, the touch warm in his own body.

"Good to have you back, Thomas."

Minho managed to say, and it brights out a smile from Thomas, a small one but Minho was glad it managed to make him smile.

"Thanks..." Thomas said as his eyes trailed from Minho's eyes to his lips.

"Thomas, I-" He went to say something, to declare his feelings to Thomas because he almost lost him many times, and he almost lost him for good this time. And he thought that if he wastes his time then he might lose Thomas for good and he could never say what he wanted to.

But before he could finish his sentence, warm lips connected with his. And it took him a second to register that Thomas kissed him before he kissed back. The kiss cemented what he felt about Thomas, it was his way of saying, "I love you." to Thomas. And the way Thomas responded meant, "I love you too." And Minho could help but smile at the kiss.

They later separated as Minho hears cheers coming from behind him. He can definitely hear the Gladers the most.

"Thank god you two shuckfaces finally figured it out."

"Congrats to both of you!"

He can hear Jorge say. "I told you so." And he knew he should thank the man later but his focus right now is on Thomas, whose face is red (although he shouldn't complain knowing he is probably the same) yet he was smiling. Warm hands went to him, and he linked theirs together.

"Welcome home, Thomas."

"Home." Thomas mulled, facing the others who were smiling back at him, then to Minho. And Minho believed the smile Thomas gave him rivals the sun. "I like that."

And now, hand in hand the two walked together for Thomas to greets the others who wasted no time in teasing the both of them.

One last time, Minho stared at his hands.

Yet his hands were no longer stained with Thomas's blood.

His hands were clean, and he was holding Thomas's hands instead.

And he wouldn't want it any other way.
