WHERE... There are always two sides to an emergency-the person calling for help and the responder answering it. But Alexandra Hotchner has lived her whole life on the third side. The one no one sees. The one where life doesn't knock-it breaks the whole damn door down. Adopted by Aaron Hotchner after surviving a brutal tragedy, Alexandra has grown into a sharp-edged FBI profiler with a heart she keeps buried beneath sarcasm and steel. Working for the BAU, she's made a career out of chasing monsters. But even the fixer breaks sometimes. When Athena Grant calls in a desperate favor, Alex finds herself in Los Angeles, pulled into a case that hits too close to home. Maddie Buckley is missing. Her ex is dangerous. And time is running out. Between haunted nightmares, tense reunions, and clashing with first responders who don't know what to make of her, Alex has to navigate personal demons while tracking a man who could snap at any time. Can she find Maddie in time? Or will she have to bring in reinforcements?

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

Skar McCall was a Karate champion in Beacon Hills and a total monster in a brawl, trained in Miyagi-Do by Julie Pierce. That was before being bitten by a Werewolf. Thankfully, her Miyagi-Do training helped her control her Werewolf powers, though it did nothing to control her brutality. She killed Kate Argent for hunting her and then Peter Hale to spite Derek for lying about a cure for Werewolves, and thus became the Alpha. Her ruthless streak pushed away her friend Stiles, and then her mom started getting scared of her after finding out while her mentor was the only one who supported her when she killed Gerard Argent and his hunters for trying to kill her. Skar had enough. She had been bullied all her life and when she fought back, she was the one scolded. She didn't care. She packed bags and moved to another town in California, Beacon hills can burn for all she cares. She didn't know she would get into a karate war and fall in love.
