    Summary

    People think starting over is the brave part.

    But brave was leaving him in the middle of the night with my baby in my arms and blood in my mouth.

    It’s been two months. I have a new job. A new apartment. A daughter who still flinches in her sleep and clings to me like I’m the only solid ground.

    I won't talk about what he did. I don’t tell my new coworkers that I’m a mom. And I definitely don’t tell anyone I’m still scared.
    But secrets don’t stay buried, and men like him don’t let go.

     

    Two months after leaving the man who broke her heart, her body, and nearly her spirit, Detective Lucy Chen is starting over — on paper, at least. A new precinct, a new badge number, and a new version of herself: composed, respected, unreadable.

    But at home, her three-year-old daughter Liora still wakes up crying in the dark. Still crawls into Lucy’s arms like safety is something she has to relearn. Still needs blood sugar checks at 3AM. (Though this will never change) And Lucy? She hasn’t told a soul at the station that she’s a mother — or that she’s running from the kind of past that leaves marks no one can see.

    Summary

    There’s an unspoken rule in the LAPD: if someone calls after 3 a.m., it better be life or death.

    So when Lucy Chen finds herself dialing Tim Bradford in the middle of the night after a nightmare, she expects silence — not for him to answer on the first ring.

    The call is short. Quiet. Safe.

    And it accidentally starts something they can’t stop.

    What begins as a lifeline during sleepless nights becomes a ritual neither of them wants to break. Every call brings them closer — shared silences, confessions half-whispered into darkness, and feelings neither of them can admit under daylight. But when a dangerous call on duty nearly shatters everything, Tim and Lucy are forced to confront what’s been growing between them — not with words mumbled through sleep, but with eyes open, hearts racing, and no more excuses.

    Because after so many calls at 3 a.m., they’re both starting to realize…

    Maybe it was never just about the time.

    Maybe it’s always been about each other.

    Summary

    “The stars really are the greatest reminder of how our actions have no consequence in the grand scheme of things. Even tonight; I kill you, the love of your life suffocates in that barrel—”

    Tim’s heart clenches.

    “—maybe it means something to you, to your friends, to your little sister, sure, but outside of here? Beyond your precious city? Out there in the universe? Not even a blip. The world keeps turning, the planets stay in their paths of orbit. The stars aren’t moved by your loss, but aren’t they beautiful all the same?”

    Or:
    A certain redhead pulled the strings behind the attacks on the officers of Mid-Wilshire, and Tim and Lucy suffer the consequences. 522 canon divergence.
