Summary
Swan courtship is an odd thing to witness from the outside. The pattern of almost manic preening, the choreography of their biological response synchronizing with their partner, a strange dance done in unison.
It’s beautiful, really, but Samira is grateful she didn’t have to find her mate that way. Developing feelings for her widower Attending seemed perfectly simple by comparison.
a.k.a. Dr. Samira Mohan does her Fellowship in Boston.

Summary
Now, he was the one to ask her how she was doing. Lucy lied. But her lying came in waves. Sometimes she genuinely couldn’t think of what to say, making it so silence became biblical. Other times it was right through her teeth. Lying becomes the way for her to feel like she’s in the clear. It’s nothing big, nothing that could cause her life or the lives around her to be hurt. But she could acknowledge she wasn’t being honest.
‘Yes I’m taking the medications you gave to me for my mental health,’ she flushed them down the toilet. ‘I eat consistent meals, my boyfriend prepared some for me,’ I shared the meals with friends who come over to make it look like I’m going through them faster. ‘Yes, I’ve been sleeping.’ I’m waiting for the moment my body decides to catch up on me and I pass out.

Summary
Jack and she stood there for a moment, an intense, overwhelming awkwardness between them. Jack broke the silence, “I didn’t realize you knew my neighbour.”
Jesus Christ, as if this entire situation couldn’t have gotten worse.
“Um, I don’t really.” Samira instantly regretted saying that as soon as it left her mouth. “I was just leaving, actually.”
“At six in the morning?”
“Yep.”
“Hmm.” The sound was low, almost neutral, but with a slight edge to it.
Samira stood, her jacket dangling from her arms, which she held tight to her chest. “I wanted to get an early start to my morning.”

Samira unknowingly hooks up with Jack’s neighbour.

“Ah, I see your plan now,” Samira deadpanned. “Cook me a meal hoping it will awaken something primal in me at seeing you provide nourishment.”
“You’ve caught me.” Jack matched her energy with ease. “Is it working?”
“Lucky for you, maybe,” she pondered. “Or maybe this was my plot all along.”
“God, I love that you’re smarter than me."a.k.a. Dr. Samira Mohan invites Dr. Jack Abbot over to her apartment. He comes.

Summary
Miles has been at Mid-Wilshire for fourteen months. He's noticed things. The way Watch Commander Bradford looks at Sergeant Chen. The way she brings him coffee. The way they stand too close at briefings.
He just never asked.
So when Lucy Chen casually asks if he's bringing a date to her wedding, Miles has approximately three very important questions:
Whose wedding?
Since when is Bradford marrying SOMEONE?
Why is that someone HER??
OR: The one where Miles finds out about Chenford fourteen months late, and everyone at the bullpen is absolutely thrilled to watch him catch up.

Summary
Lucy sighs as she flops onto her back for probably the fifth time trying to get comfortable. Nyla of course is fast asleep next to her, only adding to her frustration.
She knew she’d miss Tim like crazy but ever since seeing him at the burger joint earlier this afternoon, she was missing him so so much. Her phone sat just a few inches from her and the temptation was growing by the minute.

Summary
“Just once.. Then it’s added to our pile of ‘never touch this topic again.’ If we don’t let it mean anything, it doesn’t have to be spoken about.” The act of avoidance. While he refused to do one night stands in the past, this time it had to remain as such. This time there was no way for it to be anything other than a one night stand.
Yes, it was messy. Yes, they could get in major trouble with IA if they even got wind of it. IA would at least require Lucy to switch stations, to completely start new with a label following her. And theyd been waiting for him to fuck up again, just so they had the excuse to can him. He’d forever be blacklisted from the LAPD. But that was only if they knew. And he had no intention of letting IA, Captain Andersen, or Sergeant Grey find out.

Good old fashioned rookie + training officer smut. As always, don't like, don’t read. It’s tagged for a reason.
