    Summary

    Anyone looking for a fic where Tim suddenly gains the ability to hear Lucy's thoughts?? Given the fact that she's still his Rookie, Tim's probably going to be in for a surprise when secrets suddenly become nonexistent between them.
    ----------
    Other officers can quote protocol all they want – he knows what it feels like to be trapped behind a wheel, desperate to know if the person next to you is still breathing. He’s lived it far too many times. Procedure doesn’t account for the sheer terror of those moments, the icy grip of helplessness. No checklist can.

    Which was why, when the world exploded in a symphony of squealing tires and shattering glass, Tim’s first coherent thought wasn’t about the pain in his chest where the seatbelt had caught him or the warm trickle of blood moving down his forehead from where his skull had connected with the window. It was about the rookie currently sitting in his passenger seat.

    Summary

    I saw a post on twitter pointing out that Rosalind was dressed just like Ashley in 5x1 and theorized that maybe Tim was the real target and not Chris. This is my version of how things were supposed to go if Rosalind stuck with that plan...

    -----

    The woman turns, and for half a second, she does look like Ashley. The blonde hair, the clothes, the shape of her silhouette in the dim light. But then she smiles as she faces him fully, and his heart promptly sinks into his chest.

    "Don't sound so disappointed, Tim. Aren't you happy to see me?"

    Summary

    She's been lying for months, telling Tim she's fine while hiding bruises under long sleeves and flinching every time he gets too close. He sees it all, asks every day, and waits.
    Then his phone rings at 1:03 AM, and the sound of her voice on the other end makes him realize almost was never going to be enough.

    Summary

    Chenford AU

    Lucy thought she knew what forever was supposed to look like — until the night she’s asked to choose it.

    This is a story about almosts. About the wrong timing, the right person, and the things you don’t call cheating until it’s too late.

    ———

    “That’s all this is. Everything feels heavier after a few too many.

     

    Lucy has always laughed when Tim got too close. Always shoved him off with an eye roll, called him dramatic, told him to knock it off. He’d sling an arm around her shoulders, pick her up without warning, invade her space just to hear her protest. It had always been easy. Predictable. Automatic. The two of them orbiting each other without ever thinking about it.”

    Summary

    Tim slides his palm over the tear in the kneecap of her jeans, her skin smooth and warm against his calloused hand. “You’re fine just how you are.”

    He watches as she sets her glass down and turns towards him, her knees knocking against his thigh. “You do appreciate me, don’t you?”
