    Summary

    This isn’t how it’s supposed to happen. Tim wasn’t supposed to find his soulmate after she’d just been buried alive, and is now limp in his arms. She isn’t supposed to be dead, after he’d been dismissing her day after day for the last year, none the wiser.

    Lucy would tease him, if she could. She’d laugh as she tells him that being a grump means he’s wasted all this time, and she’d probably kiss him.

    Because, apparently, they’re soulmates.

    -

    In which Tim and Lucy are soulmates. It’s too bad that she’s temporarily dead when this discovery is made. Chenford Soulmate AU set after DOD.

    Summary

    As she gets closer, Tim is immediately drawn to her wide brown eyes; they are broadcasting her emotional state for everyone to see — some combination of eager and excited and nervous. The polar opposite of the cool and guarded expression he is careful to keep on his own face.

    Angela turns to look at him, clearly trying to gauge his reaction before she whacks him with her bouquet and hisses, “That is your soon-to-be wife, Tim, not your new boot, so maybe chill out with the death glare. You shouldn’t be trying to intimidate her.”

    Tim ignores her; he begs to differ. This woman is supposed to be his wife. Chosen by supposed experts to be his life partner, his perfect other half. He is sure as hell going to be assessing whether she measures up to his standards. The fact that he already knows all of this is bullshit honestly just makes him that much more inclined to prove it.

    When she reaches the end of the aisle, she stops in front of him and tilts her head to smile up at him in this sweet, hopeful way that he simultaneously finds incredibly endearing and incredibly irritating — like he holds her fate in his hands, and she is counting on him not to f*ck it up.

    Summary

    Lucy doesn't find out what it's like to kiss Tim until eight months after they start fucking.

    They’ve both just come and he’s still softening inside of her when suddenly his lips are on hers, hard and punishing with more than a hint of teeth. It’s not unlike he’s trying to devour her.

    To say that Lucy isn't expecting it would be an understatement. There are rules to this thing—unspoken though they may be—rigid, inflexible rules she's had to work out for herself through trial and error, and by now she knows what is and isn't allowed.

    They always meet at Tim’s house. They don't touch gently or slowly or after they've come. They don’t leave marks where they can be seen. They don't talk during. They don’t talk about it after. They don't stay.

    Summary

    When Lucy falls in love with a little girl named Fiona that she meets on a call, she wants to foster her, but it would be difficult to get approved as a foster parent as a single woman, so she asks Tim to marry her on paper despite the tension between them after sharing a kiss “for work”. Tim agrees for Fiona’s sake, but their marriage of convenience quickly gives way to more.
