Five years ago, when Chloe's dad died and Max told her she is leaving for Seattle the very next day, grief struck and angry Chloe shut herself from Max. Five years later she is still angry at her, thinking she left her for a good life in another city. Until a phone call brings a grim and dark reality and a broken Max. NO-Power AU with some cannon events integrated.

A willing sacrifice derailed. A nascent love revealed. A town devastated beyond belief. When Chloe Price is given the second chance she neither wanted nor expected, she finds new purpose in doing the impossible: giving a damn about Arcadia Bay. [Post Ep-5 Pricefield.]
