A song-fic set in season 5. What would happen to Beth, Rip, and Carter if she was sentenced to prison? Song credits to George Jones for "He stopped Loving her Today."
This story explores what went on after Lee was killed, specifically between Beth and Rip. I took some liberties with the ages of the Dutton kids and Rip.
This story explores the conversation Rip has with Avery when we first meet her. Did there used to be something between them? Does Beth know? Ultimate endgame will always be Beth/Rip
