I think I'm going to explicitly mention Thomas's age The Early Rise. There is a scene where Janson shows him his file, there is no reason why that wouldn't be in it, his mother willingly gave him up, they would have gotten those documents somewhere. Since Thomas basically turns away from WCKD on the basis that he's a child in the Night Winds, I think it would make sense.

Random hc's in the tags they're just a thought dump

#his old name is also in there but it's redacted #like also the fact that the redacted line is a name is unclear but to the reader it is #a nice little easter egg #the age I'm going for is 16 in the Early Rise #which kind of fits with what Chuck guesses him to be #only it's much later in the story so it's implied that Thomas was around 15 when he entered the maze #doesn't really add up visually in the movies I guess but this deep into the fic I don't think it matters much #I was working off head canons for the ages with everyone else anyway #and then I figured out Brenda is actually one of the oldest in the books while I wrote her younger #I'm keeping Newt as the clearly older one #he'd be the only one who passes 18 I guess tho I won't make a point of it at all #I guess time has just stood still in the by then 10 months since the Maze and no one aged a day #so anyway Thomas is 16 and with that kind of hangs in the middle #Minho Teresa and Newt are all older in my mind #Frypan is either the same age or older #Gally is younger because I know he's implied to be in the books and also I think the idea #is kinda funny if you consider how many times Gally has called and will call Thomas a Greenie #Chuck is still 12 he'll be 13 by the end of the fic #Brenda I'm keeping around Thomas's age I think #like between him and Gally #so the order would be #Chuck Gally Brenda Thomas Frypan Teresa Minho Newt #or Minho and Teresa are switched idk but in years they're the same age #Newt is 19 max in this one by the end #I'm keeping them younger on purpose because that's kind of the point when it comes to showing WCKD's cruelty and also #it makes the way Jorge and Vince (& Justin) take care of them hit a little harder #and otherwise to show it I'd constantly have to push it all in Chuck's POV since he's the most obvious *kid* of the bunch #and I'm already hurting him enough *guilty look*
