Summary
“Lucy. What are you…?” he asks as she approaches, his brow crinkling with confusion when she finally comes to a stop in front of him.
“I…” her voice trails off. She pulls her lower lip between her teeth as she mulls over her response. For all her consideration about going after him, she hadn’t really thought about what she’d say when she did.
The only thing she knows for sure is that she’s not ready to walk away from him, not after today.
(or, Lucy follows Tim out of the elevator, and things get a whole lot messier.)

Summary
They turn in perfect synchrony, instinct and muscle memory kicking in as two sets of eyes scan the parking garage, taking in their surroundings like it’s second nature.
It’s blissfully empty. Not that that should even matter. After all, there’s nothing particularly scandalous about Tim walking her to her car after shift. They’ve done it about a million times before without so much as a second thought.
But it’s different now, intimate in a way it never was before.
(or—Lucy and Tim go on their first date. And their second. And then, finally, their third.)

Summary
At first, everything is dark.
He’s disoriented, lost. It feels like he’s somehow existing outside of his own body.
He can hear a voice calling out from somewhere around him, but it’s muffled, drowned out by a loud ringing in his ears and the sound of rain falling all around him.
(or—Tim and Lucy are in a car accident)

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
He feels like he’s existing outside of his body, like he’s somehow been plucked off the streets of Los Angeles and thrown back to the hot sand and rolling foothills of the Iraqi desert. He can almost feel the heat of the sun beating down on his body as his mind is playing a horrific slideshow, so real it feels like he’s reliving every mistake he’s made, every transgression he’s committed, and every secret he thought he’d buried.

Summary
He feels like he totally screwed himself over by even proposing this vacation in the first place.
Because Lucy is sitting beside him, a huge excited grin on her beautiful face as she looks through the window, her hand occasionally coming to tap at his arm as she turns around to comment on things she sees after the plane takes off, and Tim knows it's only a matter of time before this new elephant in the room becomes a whole circus.
OR
After breaking up with Ashley, Tim is left with a non-refundable trip to Hawaii and ends up inviting Lucy to go with him instead.

Summary
"Tim Bradford got shot in the chest today."
Luna’s slow draw of breath is almost as damning as a startled gasp. Her hand tightens around his shoulder.
"Is he—"
"He's alive. Still in critical condition but the doctors are hopeful he'll make it."
"So why the drink?"
"Lucy," is all he says.
It's enough.OR; Tim & Lucy's relationship is a secret until it's not.

Summary
Post 4x22, Tim and Lucy go undercover to take down Mid-Wilshire's greasiest drug baron. Things don't go to plan and the op gets extended for months.
OR
This author has concocted a hiatus's-length headcanon to survive until September.
The guns were definitively pointed at her now, the chauvinistic smirks gone from their faces. A chill breeze from the ocean swirled the smattering of sand at their feet, the fumes of evening traffic thick in the air. Hajek cocked his head at her, eyes slitted and jaw set. “You’ll do what you’re damn well told.” he growled and just then she felt Tim’s fingers slide into her belt loops.
“Baby, babe...” He drew her back against him, leaning on the car, and slipped his hands from her belt loops into her front pockets. Her concentration wavered precariously, fracturing in two when he brushed his nose along her temple, lips against her cheek, as he pulled her down to sit on his leg. Eyes on Hajek, skin burning everywhere she could feel Tim.
She couldn’t fight it. Sava wouldn’t.

Summary
What if, when Lucy went UC in 521, the others still didn't know Chenford were dating?
*
“He’s really worried about her, isn’t he?” Wesley asked, still watching the door click into the lock. Harper shuffled her feet uneasily.
“Isabel had some dealings with the Teskas back in the day. And Frank is fresh out of prison and just after murdering his brother,” she reminded him. “He’s right to be on edge.”
“Yeah, but I mean - It’s Lucy!” Wesley said with a quick smile. “Hasn’t she literally got a trophy for undercover work? She knows what she’s doing.”
“Aren’t you here with me because Angela basically kicked you out of the house for being overprotective?” Harper asked sourly, turning squarely on Wesley. Evers didn’t even flinch, the corner of his mouth twitching up quickly.
“Are you comparing me and my wife to Tim and Lucy?”
