Story
Notes
911: Lone Star Season 4, Episodes 1-4 broke me. This is my attempt to fix that. Which is why this story is a break up story. This story is one that I needed to write because sometimes in a relationship, in life, there can be an abundance of love, but without trust, it doesn’t amount to much. This is a story about boundaries, about respecting and loving yourself, about finding your line in the sand, drawing it and then deciding you will thrive in your own way.
Heartfelt gratitude to Harley for zooming through this and being the most boss alpha with a side of beta there is, to Lostariel and Dylan for idea bouncing each time I got stuck, to RMF for reading this when I couldn’t anymore.
This fic began due to reading DarkJediQueen’s “Trust” where it sat lurking in the back of my mind ready to spring out my own words when I reached the right mental space for them.
Thank you to desertpoet for patiently handling all my questions.
