maze runner rarepair bingo — save the last dance for me

“Laugh and sing, but while we’re apart, Please, don’t give your heart to anyone.”

Present time. Vince and Jorge, age 45, meet in the library of a small town by the sea.

28 years ago. Vinge and Jorge, age 17, meet in the high school of that same town by the sea.

Or how the past will have to be (carefully) unfolded to finally understand the present.

guys you just ned to know my heart goes 💗💗💗 every time i get an e-mail notification like this

[st4rfvckerr]

@mazerunner-rarepairs posting for this event until the end because when have i been normal about things ever

and i did say i would write Teresa/Brenda/Rachel

prompt: free space + be the first to write a ship

Teresa is making the worst mistake of her life. “I'm scared too,” Brenda confesses. “I think we all are. This is so new.” She stares right at Teresa while she speaks, her eyes holding the conviction Teresa wishes she could have. Rachel chimes in. “I'm afraid, all the time. I never know what to do. I used to think that it would go away but now I don't think it will.” Her voice sounds sad but confident, and Teresa doesn't doubt her.

Driving back home Teresa reflects on her relationship and her family life, wondering how she will manage to make them fit together.

double bingo and full ao3 board 💪

Vince and Jorge take a trip to explore the size of the island they've settled on. While Jorge's ready to throw aside the responsibilities of being an adult for a while, Vince is anxious about the camp while they're gone.

But the camp doesn't need them. And maybe that's okay.

@mazerunner-rarepairs last minute bingo !!

brenderesa band au because i really couldn't help myself

prompt: based on a song

two songs because i couldn't choose just one 💔

What Brenda had failed to add into the equation is that teaching someone to play a musical instrument requires a fuck ton of physical contact. And not, like, cutesy hand contact. Brenda ends up pressed against Teresa’s back, her hands covering hers as she attempts to teach her basic chords, fleetingly wondering how her impulsivity got her into so much shit. Newt glares at her, topped off by a suggestive eyebrow raise and Brenda wants to die, discreetly flipping him off. “Okay, so, this one is a little tricky,” Brenda announces, proud that her voice barely wavered as she demonstrates another chord. Teresa looks at her before nodding, a small smile pulling at her lips, and Brenda really isn't sure if this smile will mean she'll end up pushed against the wall of a bathroom stall, fingers trailing up under her shirt, or in tears in her father's arms. Somehow, she's pulled by the irresistible urge to find out.

What Brenda had thought would be another performance might just turn into something more, the suffocating atmosphere of a concert venue a somewhat decent place to meet new people.

Maze Runner Rarepair Bingo: Rules and FAQ

Which ships qualify as rareships?

All ships with less than 150 fics where they are the main ship posted to ao3.

Qualify: Brenderesa, Soniet, Minally, Nally, Trenda, Nalby + all other possible ships you can think of!

Don't qualify: Thomesa, Thomally, Newtmas, Thominho, Minewt, Thominewt

When does the event take place?

The bingo runs throughout the month of May - May 1st to May 31st.

Read on for rules & FAQ 🔽

Rules

When posting, tag this blog and add the tumblr tag #rareshipbingo2024. Indicate which square your submission fills.

Fic and Artwork needs to be original, that means created for the event.

Any submission types are welcome for the Rarepair Bingo. fanart, fic, fanvids, moodboards, podfics - knock yourselves out!

The AO3 board however can only be filled with fic.

All topics are allowed, the one important thing is to tag your works appropriately. With darker themes err on the side of caution. If you're unsure, feel free to reach out.

If you post nsfw fics to tumblr, make sure you put the text under a read more break (just type :readmore: and hit enter).

You must be 18+ to submit explicit content.

I will be marking all nsfw submissions with the community label for sexually explicit content, so those who don't want to see nsfw submissions make sure to enable community labels.

This event allows all kind of content regarding maturity and topic - I expect followers and participants to practise good fandom culture and adhere to the don't like don't read principle. No bashing ships or tropes you personally don't like.

Unnecessarily hateful comments are to be deleted without response after you notify me, the mod, about them. (Just message this blog)

Upload your fics to the AO3 collection .

Addition made on May 5th: platonic ships are also allowed! For more info see this post.

Clarification: the rarepair needs to be the main focus of the fic. pairings that don't qualify as rareships can appear in your work, but only as a side ship. if you're unsure about this rule feel free to contact me.

FAQ

Is there a minimum word count for fics? No.

Are poly ships allowed? Yes.

Can one submission count for multiple squares from the same board? No. You have to decide which square you want to "use" your submission on, even if it combines prompts.

Can one submission fount for 2 squares on different boards? Yes! Eg if you write a fic for the square "poetry" and it's also the first fic for a ship, it can count for both the poetry square and the "write the first fic for a ship".

Can I submit WIPS? Yes.

Can I submit new chapters of a current WIP? Yes. If you have a rareship fic that you've been dying to continue, feel free to use the bingo as a motivator!

When is the reblogging perios? May 1-31st.

How does the Extra Rare Advanced AO3 Bord (For The Very Insane) work?

All the AO3 squares are to be filled in regards to the AO3 tag before April 22 - today.

Example: if you want to write a Rachel/Miyoko fic, and someone coincidentally would post one before the start of the bingo, your Rachel/Miyoko fic would still count for the "Be the first to write a ship" square.

Similarly, and using the same example as before, if 2 bingo participants decided they wanted to write Rachel/Miyoko, the person who posts their submission second would still get to fill the "Be the first to write a ship" square.

This applies to all AO3 squares:

If your fic is longer than all the fics posted before April 22, it fills the "Write the longest existing fic for a ship" square.

If before April 22nd there was no "General Audiences" rated fic for the rareship of your choice, your fic fills the "Be the first to write a rating no one has written for the ship before" square.

If you need help using the AO3 filtering system to figure out if you would be the first to write for a ship or for any of the other AO3 squares, drop this blog an ask and I'll help you out! I know not everyone is familiar with AO3 and I want this event to be open to everyone, including AO3 newcomers.
