Summary
They’re sitting in his car together, paused at the end of his drive: Tim at the wheel, Lucy browsing dog-friendly restaurants and Kojo squeezed in the front between them, with his tongue out and a huge dummy grin on his face. He’s slowed down a bit this past year or so, but Tim could swear he’s perked up over the last few days, since Lucy came home. He wonders if the change is that noticeable in him too, and finds himself hoping that it is, hoping that the whole world can see it like a neon sign over his head: yeah, I got the girl back, actually. Yeah, she really loves me. Everyone in the whole world wishes he was me.
Tim and Lucy and Kojo go out to dinner after S8E02. It's not all smooth sailing, but that's okay, because the all-new, emotionally healthy Tim Bradford can do many hard things, like giving compliments and eating goat's cheese and talking about his feelings. But only for Lucy Chen, of course.

Summary
When Lucy returns from UC School, Tim is nowhere to be found. His unexpected absence from work is just the first in a series of puzzling revelations. Six weeks of silence and his parting words, "time to move on" still echo in her mind, but the Tim-shaped void she encounters suggests something far more complicated beneath the surface. As Lucy pieces together fragments of truth from those around him, she can't shake the feeling that what awaits her will change everything between them. Some mysteries, once unravelled, can never be forgotten.

Summary
She’s early, Tim thinks when the doorbell rings. Kojo rushes to the door, chasing his tail excitedly while he waits for Tim to open it.
‘Sit,’ Tim commands, and the dog drops his behind, wagging his tail in anticipation. Like it’s his date, instead of Tim’s.
‘Hey…’ Tim says, smiling as he opens the door to find another brunette at his doorstep than the one he expected. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out she’s in a state. Her eyes are fiery, and she has this look, like she’s on a mission. ‘Oh, hey…’ he corrects, using his appropriate Angela tone, instead of the Lucy one he wasn’t aware he had, before now. How long has he been using it?

Summary
Tim Bradford does not walk away. And in many ways Lucy Chen is his exact opposite. But he thinks that maybe, on this one character trait, they are very, very much alike. There’s no quit in Chen. And he thinks that this might be why she’s so hell-bent on this undercover thing. She has started it, made it her singular goal to convince everyone around her she has what it takes, and now she can’t back out. Even when Tim thinks she might want to.
Or:
Chapter 1: After the Tesca undercover operation, Tim is doing all he can to take care of Lucy's needs, and tries to make sense of his own.
Chapter 2: Tim and Lucy being good at arguing and settling the whole UC issue in one, nice long sitting.Bookmarked by Zadien

OR
This author has concocted a hiatus's-length headcanon to survive until September.
The guns were definitively pointed at her now, the chauvinistic smirks gone from their faces. A chill breeze from the ocean swirled the smattering of sand at their feet, the fumes of evening traffic thick in the air. Hajek cocked his head at her, eyes slitted and jaw set. “You’ll do what you’re damn well told.” he growled and just then she felt Tim’s fingers slide into her belt loops.
“Baby, babe...” He drew her back against him, leaning on the car, and slipped his hands from her belt loops into her front pockets. Her concentration wavered precariously, fracturing in two when he brushed his nose along her temple, lips against her cheek, as he pulled her down to sit on his leg. Eyes on Hajek, skin burning everywhere she could feel Tim.
She couldn’t fight it. Sava wouldn’t.

Summary
The first thing Lucy Chen sees when she opens her eyes is the police badge...The second thing that catches Lucy’s eye are his hands, which, once he brings them back together, are clasped so tightly that his knuckles press white through sun-tanned skin. His hands are broad, and he is sitting close enough that she can see small scars crisscrossing the backs of them here and there, close enough that she can see the way the light catches the light hair on his muscular forearms, propped against his knees. The light catches the hair on his head, too, which seems dirty blonde, maybe light brown if not in this lighting, but he is, and so his head is haloed in gold. The overall effect is one of gilding; he looks like he is made of something precious... Whoever this man is, it seems he has been waiting here a while. Waiting on her. With a badge.

Summary
'If anyone were to ask Tim - including Lucy herself - what it’s like to have Lucy stay with him, he’d respond that it's aggravating. And, on paper, it should be. She talks too much and leaves the empty milk cartons right next to the trash can and sings in the shower and she’s tried to cleanse his home with herbs twice. It’s been four days, and he’s already finding himself growling her name under his breath in exasperation more now than he ever did when she was his rookie. '

Summary
Finally, he turns back to the bar, wordlessly pouring her a shot of tequila. He slides it across the counter toward her, lifting his own glass in a silent gesture of cheers before downing the amber liquid in one fell swoop.
Lucy questions momentarily if maybe this isn’t the best idea — if adding alcohol to the intensity of the anger and grief and resentment that is still radiating off of him will result in anything other than regret.
But again, she opts to stay quiet. If this is what he needs in this moment, this is what she will give him.
She follows suit, wincing as the harshness of the liquor slides down the back of her throat.
