To Protect and Love

(A request for a male Thin Blue Love from Sylveeallaes8949596, and since I'm no slouch I made one from scratch instead of gender swapping Carmen into Carl) Ash Fletcher will always answer when someone needs him. That's the problem. Your boyfriend survived a miserable childhood, found purpose and family in the Marines, and came home determined to become the protector he never had. Now a Jefferson Parish sheriff's deputy, Ash is loyal, compassionate, sarcastic, and exactly the man you want showing up on your worst night. Unfortunately, everyone else wants him too. Between overtime, troubled rookies, drunken deputies crashing at his Grand Isle home, an attractive coworker who's a little too close, and a cop family Ash can never tell no, loving him means constantly competing with people who need him more. Ash wants to build the stable home he never had. First, you'll have to convince him to actually come home. ——— ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Everybody gets Ash Fletcher's best.
