Secrets about his past, his bruised knuckles, and the life he keeps carefully hidden from everyone-including Y/N. The closer she gets to him, the more she realizes she may not know the man she's falling for at all.

In which two co-workers find peace and comfort in one another. "These people are the best part of me." Eddie Diaz x Fem oc Season 2-??

AURELIA ALVAREZ has been best friends with Eddie Diaz since birth. With their mothers being close, Lia and Eddie grew up knowing just about everything about the other, but there was always one thing Eddie didn't know about Lia, and that was that, since the age of fourteen, she's been hopelessly in love with him. But he, at the same age, met another, and years later, when reunited, Lia watched from the sidelines as her best friend married a woman she cares for, but also a woman she's envious of. Even when he became a father at nineteen, Lia's feelings never changed, but she always remained at his side, always remaining his "best friend". She was there when his wife left, when his son was diagnosed with cerebral palsy, when he was in the army, when he struggled to make ends meet, and was even there when he makes a decision to move to Los Angeles. Taking a job at LA County Hospital as a nurse, supporting her best friend in his decision and journey to move, she consequently puts herself in a far worse position, her feelings only growing stronger the more time she spends with him, the more time she takes care of his son, and the more time she gets lost in this idea of hope. After all, he'd never, ever feel the same about her, not when his heart belongs to somebody else. ( eddie diaz x fem!o.c ) ( best friends to lovers ) ( 9-1-1 seasons 2 - ? ) © 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐛𝐲𝐬𝐨𝐩𝐡 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓

Some people break like glass. She learned how to shatter silently. Skylar Altair wasn't supposed to wear a badge. At twenty-four, she was a certified prodigy-board-certified in half a dozen specialties, a nuclear medicine and neuro-path genius, a rising star in a white coat. The youngest. The brightest. The girl who never failed. But trauma doesn't care about your résumé. Loss doesn't care how many degrees you've earned. And the world doesn't stop spinning just because your soul flatlines. Her father died in front of her eyes when she was twelve. Her brother spiraled into addiction. And when she needed help most-when everything was taken from her in a single night-no one came. Not the heroes. Not the law. Not the system. So she stopped waiting. They taught her how to save people. Now she's going to learn how to protect herself. With the steel of a soldier in her blood and the precision of a surgeon in her bones, Skylar trades the hospital lights for sirens, scrubs for Kevlar. Becoming a cop was never the plan. But plans change-especially after the aftershock. In a city that's breaking at the seams, Skylar will have to confront everything she tried to bury: her rage, her grief, her brilliance, and the terrifying possibility that maybe-just maybe-she was meant for this life all along. Genius. Survivor. Rookie. She's not trying to be a hero. She's just trying not to fall apart again.

Aspyn Woods was born into a life most people would kill for--money, popularity, looks, the best best friend/boyfriend, and a life already planned out for her. All she had to do was grown up and take over the life she always dreamed of. But life has a funny way of reminding you that it doesn't always go according as planned. It started with her eighteenth birthday being postponed until finals were over. Pre-law was brutal, but she refused to slack off--especially when Wesley was determined to do better than her. Next, it was the fake I.D. that not only got her through exams, but changed her life for good. 9 months later, Aspyn had a her daughter strapped to her chest, dropping all her pre-law classes, and signed up for the FTO program with the LAPD. 3 months after that, she returned home from her birthday dinner with friends, just to find her childhood home turned into a crime scene--both her parents killed. She's still searching for answers. 9 months later, she's a fresh-eyed rookie, ready to get the answers on her parents murder--while balancing her role as CEO of Woods Enterprise, and being a full-time single mom. Nothing was going to tear her down again, after she's scrapped herself up off the ground again. Until her two worlds collide and she's forced to confess the one thing made peace with a long time ago. It not only throws Aspyn in another life altering spiral--but this time she has two other people to consider, while keeping her daughters best interest.

Frank Castle (Jon Bernthal) is the new man next door-older, guarded, and carrying a past Y/N knows better than to ask about. What starts as innocent neighbourly familiarity slowly turns into something neither of them can ignore. He knows the age gap is a line he shouldn't cross. Y/N is beginning to wonder why she wants him to.

At thirty-six, he's a lethal ghost who views her strictly as an assignment. At twenty-one, she's a reckless scientist who refuses to be told when to breathe. He's supposed to keep her safe and keep his distance. Instead, she's ruining his detachment, and he's realizing some lines are meant to be broken.

Allie has lived next door to Jon for as long as she can remember. He's always been just... there, the quiet house beyond the fence line, the man who keeps to himself, the one who never quite joins the rest of the world. Now she's freshly twenty-one, and everything feels different. He's thirty-five, a retired actor who left Hollywood behind for a quieter life, and he still doesn't belong to anyone, or at least that's what he seems to want people to believe. But distance has a way of changing shape when you've spent years growing up just out of reach of someone.
