Summary
This came about from the belief that Aaliyah isn’t gullible enough to blindly trust a stranger and let them into her life.
What if Aaliyah had been suspicious of Cruz and Zara from the very beginning?

everything I know about these two, I have learned against my will by skimmonslab

Summary
She zeroes in on the way Cruz’s hands and long fingers curl around Aaliyah’s ribcage, too comfortable and dangerously high, her thumbs right under her breasts, the press of her palms not shy or hesitant. Cruz’s hips against Aaliyah’s as Cruz uses them to pin her in place because Aaliyah is gently tilting to the side, fighting the bout of lightheadedness and nausea.
That’s not the way you’d hold an acquaintance or even a friend. Hands can only be that familiar on another body if they already traveled over naked skin. If fingers have wandered through sweat and heat, and have experienced holding their ribs and hips as they trembled and shuddered.
That’s how you touch someone who’s already yours, Bobby thinks.
OR
Bobby's POV. The 5 times Bobby learns something about Cruz and Aaliyah completely against her will and the 1 time she does so willingly.
(updated with a summary that I feel better demonstrates the tone of the fic, but fear not, there will be smut)

Summary
They should have sent a fucking drone to do the job. Something without feelings. Without a pulse. Something lifeless that wouldn’t have whispered “take me” before Aaliyah could even finish making her offer.

Summary
Aaliyah escapes her arranged marriage and the life her powerful family has dictated for her, seeking freedom at any cost. Cruz, a hardened operative with a strict mission, becomes her reluctant protector. As they evade relentless pursuers and cross borders under new identities, an unexpected bond forms between them. But with danger at every turn and the weight of their pasts threatening to pull them under, they must decide: how far are they willing to go for freedom—and for each other?

Summary
“I see that you are correct about an invader,” Asmar spoke as he leaned away from the computer. Cruz tensed up, muscles locking. “But I do not see your proof that my daughter’s friend is them.”
“I know it is!” Eshan insisted, face turning red with frustration. “You think coincidences when she shows up and our security suddenly has holes in it?”
“I do.” Asmar leveled a look at Eshan that silenced him.

Summary
“It will happen again.” Aaliyah says, finally. “It won’t be my father, but it will be someone’s father; and it will happen again.”
She doesn’t know what answer she’s looking for.
“I know,” Cruz nods. “But when it does, it won’t be me they send.”
(or Aaliyah tries to heal in New York after the events of 1x08 and Cruz shows up in just enough time to ruin it all.)
