   Summary

   Instead of returning home to find Chris on her couch, what if Lucy ends up at Tim's house?
   And by then it’s only a matter of time before proximity and the pretense of their UC op give way to something they've both been desperately denying... something much deeper than just 'basic biology.'

   But just seconds before they cross the point of no return... the real world comes ringing in.

   Or
   A canon divergent rewrite of s05e01 "Double Down", where Tim takes Lucy to his house, and in very close proximity... of his bedroom leads to suppressed feelings coming to the forefront of them fully giving in, and then consequences of an interrupted moment of a phone call alerting them that Lucy's actual boyfriend is still bleeding out... just when they were about to...

   (Sorry it's late and my brain is not working well with trying to write the summary and the tags)
