"Pressure to go strike out on your own
Pressure to learn from being alone
Pressure to not leave it for too long
Before you find another heart where you belong."

Nostalgic For Disasters [Jake Peralta X Reader]
Thank you @Ezuslx for another great book cover, you're a good piss Elon Musk CURRENTLY EDITING **TRIGGER WARNING** Includes DEATH, SUICIDE, GUNS, SHOOTINGS AND (will add to the list when the chapter is updated and I oop-) During an active shooter situation, Jake Peralta feels afflicted between staying at his post, or protecting an old friend. Throughout the story (on even number chapters), Jake is plagued with flashbacks to his relationship with Y/N, his old friend, and ex girlfriend. If you are triggered by death and suicide, the even number chapters are pretty wholesome, so if you'd like you can just read those, but the whole story ties together. Jake Peralta x Female Reader Also, "Run" & "SLOW DANCING IN THE DARK" by Joji are good background music to read this to. The lyrics don't really apply but the tone does :)Complete
