Summary
Aaliyah knows only one way to survive: run. She’s left behind a world that claimed everything from her, slipping into shadows to protect the life growing quietly within. On her first night in a foreign city, fear and loneliness press in, the weight of everything she’s lost feeling unbearable—and in a moment of unexpected danger, a stranger steps in. Cruz, with a quiet strength and steady presence, cuts through her chaos. For the first time, Aaliyah wonders if there might be light beyond the shadows.

Summary
"I think you'll regret those words," whispered Aaliyah, finally opening her eyes and bringing her face closer to Cruz's, resting her forehead against hers.
"I won't," Cruz breathed with a sentiment Aaliyah couldn't identify.
Slowly pulling away, Aaliyah reached out with one of her hands and cupped Cruz’s cheek, her thumb starting to move in a slow, gentle rhythm. Aaliyah could feel the warmth emanating from that cheek. Aaliyah moved her lips to Cruz's ear as she continued to caress that part of Cruz’s face. She could perfectly see a shiver running through the girl's body, and smiling at the action, she whispered, "I'm glad to hear that, Zara, because after this… after this, I'll never give you peace," and after that, Aaliyah did what she had wanted to do since she laid her eyes on Cruz's neck.
Aaliyah moved her lips to where the girl's pulse resided, delicately sealing her words with a searing kiss, and whispered, "That's a promise, and I never break my promises."

Prequel to "We never painted by the numbers baby but we were making it count."Series

Summary
“I see that you are correct about an invader,” Asmar spoke as he leaned away from the computer. Cruz tensed up, muscles locking. “But I do not see your proof that my daughter’s friend is them.”
“I know it is!” Eshan insisted, face turning red with frustration. “You think coincidences when she shows up and our security suddenly has holes in it?”
“I do.” Asmar leveled a look at Eshan that silenced him.

Summary
AU: In a world where survival often demands sacrifice, the story follows Cruz's journey as a complex young woman navigating the shadows of her past and the bonds of military camaraderie. Cruz's childhood was marked by loss; she belonged to a high-skilled joint military unit.
Cruz's world is turned upside down when she locks eyes with a stunning woman whose beauty and presence draw her in like a moth to a flame.
But this story is not just a romance; it explores identity, resilience, and the heavy burdens carried by those who serve. Themes of trauma, friendship, and self-discovery weave through the narrative, offering a raw and semi-authentic portrayal of life in the military.

pin back in the grenade (and all the ways i'd keep you safe) by crashmycar

Summary
Six months ago, Cruz Manuelos was running out of options and money, fast. Freshly discharged and scraping the barrel of her savings account, the ex-Marine wanted anything but to admit defeat. Because she would rather die than return to her hometown in Oklahoma to flip burgers until she dropped dead into the deep fryer.
So she called in an old favour with a friend at a private security company. Her first jobs were simple, but six months later, she is assigned something much more than she bargained for. That something being the recently retired gold medal Olympic diver, Aaliyah Amrohi.
Aaliyah is in the market for a bodyguard to follow her around Europe while she competes in an adrenaline-pumping high diving contest. In exchange, Cruz will have a place to stay, a free trip around Europe and, most importantly, a generous income.
Cruz knows it’s too good to be true, and she soon finds out that even America’s Sweetheart has skeletons of her own buried deep.
As the stamps on their passports amass, will Cruz be able to put her growing feelings aside to keep Aaliyah safe?

Summary
On her wake of poor decisions, Cruz decides to stay in Mallorca after the job is finished. Perhaps she stays so that Amrohi's men will find her and do to her what she deserves. Perhaps she does it to stay closer to the woman she loves.
It's no surprise when she does end up in the hands of Amrohi's men, but she doesn't expect Aaliyah to be stuck in the same situation as she is.
Or: Amrohi's men think Cruz was Aaliyah's accomplice in the murder of her multi-billionaire and controlling father.

Summary
Cruz thought for days about how to make both things work, to complete the mission without sacrificing whatever she had with Aaliyah. But now, living in that exact reality, she knows it's impossible. She killed her father. Why would she ever ask for forgiveness, and why would Aaliyah ever forgive her?
OR
Cruz gets back to the boat, but so does Aaliyah. Where do they go from here? How do they get their happy ending? (spoiler: they do)
