Between the callouts and the chaos, there are moments that never made it into the report.
This is where Skylar Altair breathes between the lines-where love hesitates, grief lingers, and life happens off-duty. A collection of unwritten scenes, alternate timelines, and everything that could've been.

Afterschock || Tim Bradford
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.

Tap Out
Early as a teenager, Madison dreamed of losing her virginity. Losing your virginity has a certain art to it. To her, it meant you got to know your partner better than they knew themselves. It has a certain intimate touch to it. The idea of giving yourself to someone you love is something many people want. But sometimes you don't get a choice. As she got closer to finishing high school, Madison was robbed of her innocence. After that, she struggled to be normal. How could you just go back after something like that? Growing up in Flint, Michigan was hard enough but after this, she found herself slipping into the darkness of the city. After dropping out of high school, Madison was left to take care of her struggling family. She often resorted to party on the weekends because she enjoys the numbness. That is until one night she is accused of a crime that she didn't commit. While she tries to do everything in her power to stay out of jail, she meets someone new. She tries to stay away but she can't help it - he's just so enticing. It isn't long before she's putty in his hands but when she learns something new about him, she pushes him away. Will she ever get the chance to be normal? {The first 5 chapters are published on Wattpad as a preview. The story is 100% complete & published on another platform (more info in my bio).
