One year she's a meek, laid back girl who enjoyed the little things in life like family time, laughter-filled moments with her friends, and romantic nights with her girlfriend.
The next, she's growing into the skin of being a cocky and proud womanizer, feeling the notion that she can do whatever she wants with whoever she wants, fearing zero consequences along the way. Money talks and to her, there's no conversation without it.
One person. Two drastically different personalities. Five years in-between.
Who is Emily Fields?
Coming from a small town in Rosewood, Pennsylvania, after graduating from the Stanford University, Emily Fields joins into the Army similarly as her now veteran father did before she was born. A highly anticipated tour in Afghanistan brings Emily back to the States in not only a peculiar circumstance but with life-changing options left in the palm of her hand. From rethinking where she stood in her life, Emily goes from an Army Ranger to a thriving entrepreneur in the sunny city of Miami, Florida within five years of her last stint of being a part of the US military. During this time she comes across a daring, unapologetic blonde named Alison DiLaurentis who Emily merely sees as another notch under her well-studded belt of women. But when Alison proves herself to be not just any girl that Emily can have, Emily makes it her mission to make her crack. Nobody says no to Emily Fields without eventually caving in. Things heat up between the two when Alison realizes that Emily has an audacious personality of her own, prompting the constant game of cat and mouse to ensue. Will she give into Emily's persistent charm or will Emily burn her hand attempting to capture Alison?
With the same look, same talk, walk, and even laughter, unknowing of her family and friends, the Emily Fields they knew and loved died the hidden caves of Afghanistan.

Reader Discretion Is Advised. Read At Your Own Risk.
Hello. It is your friendly neighborhood Emison writer, AcquiredMadness, here to present to you yet another Emison universe. If this is the first time of us meeting, call me AM for short :)
As you have read a few moments ago, I have added a "Reader Discretion" warning in this introduction. To touch on that a bit more, it is a courtesy caution for you, the wonderful reader, to know that the material you are about to embark on may contain matter in quite a few aspects that you wouldn't want to read. This is the darkest fic that I've written to date and might be the number one darkest in my catalog of stories for a long time. Putting the ball in your court, I am leaving it up to your will and judgement on whether to continue reading past this point or not. I truly cherish every single one of you, even if we've interacted or not, and would hate to see anyone upset by my writing because of no aforementioned warning.
With formalities being understood, another notice that I want to clarify are the first three entries. Those chapters are the prologue to this story, the important past of Emily that needs to be digested in order to have a clue about the present. You are more than welcome to skip it, if wanted. You won't be completely lost if you do so. However, this story is very complex to not grip as much information as you can. Please forgive me, however, it's a bit on the long side. If I were able to cut and squeeze everything into one chapter to explain things, boy, I would. But that would be cheating everyone out of a slice of the cake.
In the summer of 2016, I came up with a voting poll of which story you, the readers, would like to see our favorite paring submerged in. And by popular demand, the theme of "Cat Mouse" blew the other narratives out of the water.
So today, I dedicate and present to you…
Sinner's Lullaby
