Summary
You put as much distance as you possibly can between your abusive mother in your coastal home town, just to end up in White Pine Bay where a certain motel owner reminds you just how much of a stain you put on any parent's judgement. You don't expect to be anywhere but the sliver of nightlife the quaint town has to offer for the weekend, but something, or someone, keeps pulling you back to the motel, and up those fateful spiraling stairs.

Summary
"What did you see?" Someone asks, but not the harsh, angry voice from a moment ago. This voice is softer, gentler, though no less menacing. If she's honest, the gentleness scares her even more than the anger, like a lion speaking to a lamb just a moment before sinking his teeth into its throat.
The lamb trembles.

The Kinda Love That You Only Find Once In A Lifetime by JackKellysCap

Summary
“You’re- You’re pregnant?” He stammered out, still frozen in the doorway.
She bobbed her head. “Yeah.” She whispered, terror coursing through her veins. Why wasn’t he saying anything? The front door was still half open, freezing cold air filtering through the doorway, making her shiver. A part of her wanted to lunge forward and push the door shut, if only to stop him from turning around and leaving. Would she ever not be terrified he was going to leave her? “I- It’s okay if you don’t, don’t want it.” She muttered, hoping her words would bring some kind of reaction to him. Self-consciously, she wrapped her arms around her stomach when his gaze flicked down to it and he just stared. “You don’t… don’t have to stay if you don’t want it. It’s okay. I know we never… never discussed a baby, so if you don’t want it that’s-”

Summary
Lottie sniffled and looked up at him nervously. “I’m scared.”
“Why, pumpkin? You’ve been practicing.” He said, kissing the top of her head and setting her down on his lap.
“There’s too many people.” She whimpered, peering around him and catching sight of the audience behind the curtain. “What if I fall?” She asked, blinking up at him with her big blue eyes she’d gotten from her mother. She was so much like Norma.

Summary
“Good morning hun.” Norma said as she stirred from her sleep
“Good morning too baby.” He chuckled, as he caressed her face, dropping several more kisses on her face, and it made her giggle.
“Had a good sleep, I see.” He smiled, hovering slightly above her.
“Definitely a good one. Always been.” She reached for his face and kissed him on his lips before snuggling on his chest, closing her eyes, basking in his warmth. -

Summary
Norma stared down at the papers on the kitchen table. At the big, bold Petition For Divorce stamped on the front. At the way hers and Alex’s names were already filled in. They sat, pride of place, front and centre, in the middle of the kitchen table. Bright white against the fornica table top. She dropped down onto the seat and reached for the divorce forms with shaking hands. Leafing through them, she tried to force down the distressing sobs threatening to break free. Everything had already been filled in, the only things left to do were hers and Alex’s signatures.

Norma finds some divorce papers on the kitchen table, and spirals because Alex wants to leave her. Or does he?

Summary
Synopsis: Every happiness comes with a cost. Some don't really last that long and magic spells are bound to end after 12.

And sometimes, love just needs a little rest before running again, and patching things up together.

Summary
Alex Romero’s memories of Norma Bates were foggy. After her death, it felt as though he had died too—the only difference was that he was still breathing. The memories of her had been erased from his mind, leaving behind nothing but an ache he couldn’t name. And he would spend the rest of his life trying to remember her again, even if it meant searching for her in fragments—finding an epitome of her in someone else.
Even if he forgot, that familiar, aching feeling would always chase him. He would never get the chance to tell her—but he would love her whether she was here or not. Living or dead. Breathing or not.

Summary
This is basically a reader insert of what would it be if Norma Bates also had a daughter (that would be us, reader!). Because I'm so delusional for her that I needed this. I just want more comfort than the tv show can offer, that's how we ended up here.

Summary
Alex drove down the road, trying to push all thoughts of Norma Bates and Bob Paris and missing, possibly dead women from his mind. All he needed to focus on was his grocery list. He needed chicken, eggs, probably milk. The milk in his fridge had probably gone bad. Definitely milk then. Some chocolate. A green Mercedes. Norma Bates with a gun. Wait… no, he didn’t need- He turned his head around and watched Norma hold out the gun and then the piercing sound of a gunshot filled the air. He groaned, really not wanting to deal with a volatile Norma Bates. But he had caught sight of tears shining on her cheeks and if there was one thing he was unable to resist it was Norma Bates.

Summary
In his arms, Lottie gurgled and he looked down to see her blue eyes shining up at him. “Hey, babygirl.” He whispered, sitting down in the plush armchair, his voice coming out softer than he thought it ever had. “Hey, Lottie.” He held his pinkie finger gently over her, a choked laugh leaving his mouth when her little fingers reached up to wrap around it, holding it tightly. He glanced over at Norma, beautiful and still fast asleep, and smiled.

Summary
He was looking forward to the new year. Until four of his colleagues went down sick with the flu, leaving them short-staffed. And New Year’s was not the time to be short staffed. So, like any good Sheriff, Alex had agreed to cover their shifts, meaning he was working from six to six. Hopefully, the rabble that would be the main cause of his calls would pass out soon after midnight so he could just rest in his office or go back to the house and spend some of the night with Norma, Dylan, Emma and little baby Katie, especially since Norma had been pretty reluctant to let him go.
****
Alex spends most of his NYE alone, much to his annoyance, until he gets a call about three drunk and disorderly people by the pier.
