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.

Tim smiled back at Lucy. A real smile that reached his eyes. One Angela hadn’t seen on his face since…
Woah. Angela froze. Bradford. Timothy Bradford had feelings for Lucy. Well, that’s new, she thought to herself still debating if the past five minutes had actually happened or if her alarm would be going off soon to interrupt what could only be called a bizarre dream.

Summary
“The stars really are the greatest reminder of how our actions have no consequence in the grand scheme of things. Even tonight; I kill you, the love of your life suffocates in that barrel—”
Tim’s heart clenches.
“—maybe it means something to you, to your friends, to your little sister, sure, but outside of here? Beyond your precious city? Out there in the universe? Not even a blip. The world keeps turning, the planets stay in their paths of orbit. The stars aren’t moved by your loss, but aren’t they beautiful all the same?”

Summary
The first time it happened, he blamed himself for thinking she was fine. Lucy had been back to riding with him for about three weeks when they responded to the call. They’d shifted back to their usual rhythm like you slip into your favorite pair of well-worn jeans. She was doing okay, generally. In fact: Tim was in awe of her. Of how she was handling herself. Some days, he could almost fool himself into thinking it hadn’t really happened.
Or:
5 Times Lucy nearly panics, and 1 time she actually does. Tim is there to help her cope.

Summary
He feels her hand wrap around his fingertips, clinging to him all over again. When she looks up at him, her eyes are wide and shining with emotion. They’re like portholes into her mind, her heart, her soul—it’s like he can see everything she’s thinking in that one single glance.
“I’m here,” he says, dropping into the empty seat next to the gurney. “I’ve got you. You’re safe now.” He absentmindedly traces his thumb across her wrist, up and down, back and forth, carefully avoiding contact with her injured skin.

Summary
Angela knew what it was like to not want to let someone out of your sight after you’ve almost lost them. So she knew there was no way Tim was leaving that hospital until they forced him out.
Which was how she found herself in his annoyingly clean house, trying to imagine which clothes would fare best after a night sleeping in a hospital chair—because she knew Mr. Military would hate the idea of waking up wrinkled.
OR
As Angela watches Tim with Lucy after her kidnapping, she realizes that something different is happening between her best friend and his Boot, even if neither of them know it yet.

Summary
“You really got dosed with truth serum?” Miles asks casually, just as his TO finishes getting dressed.
Tim looks at him warningly. “Yes.”
“So, I can ask you anything, and you have to be honest with me?” he asks next.
“Yes,” Tim verifies. “But that doesn’t mean you should.”
The threat is clear, but the alternative is even more appealing.
“So, Sergeant Bradford,” Miles asks with a shit-eating grin. “Who’s the best rookie you’ve trained?”

“Juarez knows?”
Lucy sighs, exasperated. “Well, between the evidence Miles gave and the fact that she caught me sneaking into our hotel room at six in the morning, yeah.”
“Evidence?” he asks. “What kind of evidence?”
“Apparently, Miles said you apologized to him about something,” she says.
“If it’s any consolation,” Tim responds, deadpan, “I very much regret it.”

Miles is not entirely sure how hanging out with people Celina knows and he’s left as the odd man out is supposed to help his nerves, but the smile she has is just so infectious that he says, “Yeah. That sounds like a great idea.”
“I’ll talk to Lucy,” Celina says brightly, and Miles immediately feels relief, because it’s not some stranger. He likes Lucy, and he thinks she likes him well enough. And she’s such a ray of sunshine, that whoever she’s bringing to this double date must be enjoyable as well.
This’ll be great.

Summary
The more Grey thinks about it, the surer he feels about the pairing. At first glance Chen had seemed like Bradford’s total opposite–-small in stature, with a background in psychology that screamed bleeding heart--so it truly hadn’t crossed Grey’s mind that she might be a good fit for him. But if she’s bold enough to show up to her first day with an arrest, then she can keep up with Bradford. Possibly even thrive under him. And if she doesn’t let Bradford intimidate her, maybe she’ll even be able to push back on some of his bullshit.
Or: Lucy and Tim's relationship through the eyes of the man who paired them up together.

Summary
“Because wanting something doesn’t make it survivable.”
Lucy and Tim choose friendship because it feels safer than crossing the line. Then they spend weeks proving that safety and survival are not the same thing. Set around season 4, canon-divergent, this is a story about too much closeness, too much silence, and what happens when almost becomes unbearable.
Title from Taylor Swift’s “Dress.”
