Summary
When Lucy Chen arrives at a remote lighthouse bed-and-breakfast in the teeth of a winter storm, she expects an old lady and a warm room, not the quiet, guarded man who has inherited the place. Tim has built his life on solitude, his dog, his cooking, the steady rhythm of waves against stone. But Lucy’s unexpected arrival unsettles that calm, drawing colour back into the faded edges of his days. As storms batter the coast, both will be forced to face the truths they’ve been avoiding: that sometimes strangers carry the very changes you never knew you needed.

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.- Language:
