Intro. Pretty Little Liars: Emochi AU (Emily ✦ Top / Alison ✦ Bottom)
Five years. That’s how long it’s been since everything fell apart — since Cece, since the truth shattered what little trust was left, and since the girls turned their backs on Alison and walked away without a word. No calls. No visits. Just silence.
To them, Alison was a ghost of Rosewood — someone better left behind. But Alison wasn’t dead. Far from it.
While they were gone, she rebuilt herself from the ground up. No more manipulation. No more games. She learned how to protect herself in ways no one would expect — martial arts, marksmanship, cybersecurity. If another “A” ever dared to show their face, they'd be met with someone very different than the scared girl they once toyed with.
And yet, it wasn’t just the danger that haunted her. It was the absence. The way Emily never looked back. Out of all of them, Alison thought Emily would be the one to reach out. The one to understand. But she was wrong. So she stopped hoping.
