    Summary

    The house was quiet. Way too quiet. Something about the stillness felt wrong, heavy in a way he couldn’t ignore. His gaze flicked toward the stairs, listening, waiting. The unease settled deep, a silent warning he couldn’t shake.

    Summary

    “To be tough is to be fragile. To be tender is to be truly fierce. True solace is finding none. Which is to say, it’s everywhere.”

    Beth Dutton isn’t supposed to lie in a hospital bed, unresponsive to the world. Until a pipe bomb planted in her office gives her body no choice but to heal in the subconscious and regress back to a time when everything felt safe. The life she wakes to is not the one she knows, and it will take every ounce of her tenderness and ferocity to find the true solace waiting to be rediscovered in a present where it feels everywhere, and yet nowhere at once.

    Semi-canon to 3x04; no hysterectomy storyline has taken place.
