Grief is not linear. Neither is love. They're co-parenting, co-workers, and somehow-against all odds-commiserating with one another. Detective Daniel 'Sal' Salinger and his ex-wife, LAPD Commander Susan Salinger find themselves thrust back together for a critical investigation. Sal and Susan must set aside their recent divorce in order to bring down a powerful criminal enterprise & protect their family. And in uncovering the case, they begin to lay bare the reasons that led to their divorce-and what brought them together in the first place all those years ago. This fic is a 'what if.' It explores what might have happened had Southland not faced budget cuts & network changes that forced dropping storylines & characters after S3. It explores Sal's domestic life through the vehicle of a gritty police procedural.
