Summary
“...How about you?” she asks.
“Hmm? What about me?”
Lucy pauses, her words slow when she finally responds.
“Are you ok, Tim?”
Tim’s brow furrows, like he doesn’t understand the question.
“Yeah, why wouldn’t I be?”
He breaks eye contact with her, one hand reaching up to rub at his jaw absently. Lucy holds her silence for one moment, two, inviting—or maybe hoping—that he’ll say more. It’s a very “Tim” response, deflecting from even the hint of a chink in his armor. But…he has tells. There’s something happening behind those walls, and while she’s not surprised that he won’t acknowledge it to her, she is…disappointed, maybe.
Not your place anymore, she admonishes herself. You are not his girlfriend.
“Well, hope you get to go home soon. Good night.”
“Yeah, have a good night Chen.”
Lucy can’t help feeling a little sad as she walks away.
----------------
Tim is having a tough time, and Lucy can tell. When she tries to check on him, his old habits of protecting her from his baggage die hard. But Tim promised to be more honest with her, so he's going to try.

Summary
Lucy's mouth opens and closes, her eyebrows raised and her eyes wide. “You want me to come with you…to therapy?”
Panic starts to build in Tim’s chest.
“Not like couples therapy or anything. Just for one session. I know it's a lot to ask, and you don't owe me anything. But I just thought, I mean I hoped that maybe—”
“Tim,” she interrupts, and he snaps his mouth shut. “...I'd be happy to.”
Tim feels his shoulders drop two inches from his ears and his breathing evens out. “Really? It's not…it's not weird? Or too much?”
Lucy gives a real, honest, Lucy-brand smile, the gentle kind with her lips closed, her head tilted just so, like she's amused at how silly he's being. And Tim feels his heart thud in his chest, because a sizable part of him thought he would never get to see that smile directed his way again.
“No,” she says. “It's not weird. Or at least not to me. When and where?”
----------------
Tim is working to figure some things out, and there's no one he trusts more to give him perspective than Lucy. With the help of a qualified mental health professional, the two finally have an adult conversation about what went wrong and how they might start to make it right again.

Summary
“Are you okay?” he asks for the third time that day, but he already knows the answer before the words even leave his mouth.
Ian looks up at him, slowly, with big, sad eyes and a frustrated line between his brows. He swallows, and it looks like that alone takes the life out of him.
“No,” he answers quietly, staring straight at Mickey’s shoulder.
He doesn’t elaborate. He doesn’t need to; Mickey understands.
// post-canon: ian goes through a depressive episode and mickey takes care of him

Summary
!!! Major edits to chapters 1-12. I added a couple new chapters so feel free to reread to catch up on a couple new things :)
---
It happens by accident. A small mistake, so insignificant in the moment, yet it carries the weight to shift everything. If only Lucy could go back, make a different choice, take a different path. But that’s not how life works, is it? And now, she can only think about what she could have done to avoid it.

Summary
“You know,” The woman said loftily, “I told her you’re a creepy sonovabitch, but she doesn’t seem to care.”
Pope didn’t have it in him to be affronted. Couldn’t even play at offence when he’d been hearing the same thing just about his whole life.

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.
