Summary
“You should’ve taken the bribe, Sergeant; started a new life,” Everett says.
Tim stares him down. “There’s no way that ever would’ve happened,” he says plainly. He won’t ever throw away his integrity like that, no matter the cost.
“I don't need that kind of money. I don't even want it,” he had told Everett during the arrest, and he hasn’t changed his mind on that. “Maintaining my integrity? That's priceless.”
“This mistake will come back to haunt you,” he had responded. “You have my word on that.”
“In that case,” Everett responds, smiling eerily, “You really should’ve just gone to jail.”

Summary
“Sergeant Bradford.”
He blinks. The reflections of bloodstained water fade from the walls until the tunnel dissolves entirely, giving way to one of the station's interrogation rooms.
“Hm?”
Sat across from him is a detective Tim doesn’t think he recognises, sympathy pinching the corners of her eyes.
“We want to figure out who was responsible,” she says. “I just need you to tell me anything you can remember, anything you might have seen before you found Sergeant Chen.”
His mind draws up buzzing static. Vague shapes and silhouettes.
“I don’t… I don’t know.”

« Yes. »
“You, Tim, are a horse.”
« Unfortunately. »

Summary
“Officer Chen, where is the happiest place on Earth?”
She blinks. “Um. From a psychological standpoint, that probably varies from person to person, sir. I’m not sure—“
She can hear quiet laughter in the room, and Grey looks like he wants to join in. Off his look, she stops. “Um. Right here, sir?”
“Officer Bradford, what about you — happiest place on Earth?”
“Easy. Dodgers game, cold beer, bases loaded.”
They're both wrong.
OR -- Tim and Lucy find out their happiest places on Earth aren't places at all. All it takes is a trip to Disneyland, an undercover princess, and more flirty touching than Disney has ever seen.

He should've gone with her.
Hearing the harrowing screams in the background of the calls, he berates himself for not fighting harder to ride with her. Yes, he had meetings and yes, he would catch flack from the brass when they found out why he missed them. But he wouldn’t be driving halfway across the city to get to her.
He would already be there.

Summary
Lucy is exhausted after a long week of teaching so she stops for a veggie burger. But turns out she finds much more than burgers at the food trucks.
Inspired by burger Tim from the promo and a tweet I saw on the timeline! It’s just a fun, fluffy AU story because I know these two would find each other in any universe! Enjoy!

Summary
“Wait, this is the house that the domestic call is about?” Penn asks, his voice sounding more and more terrified with every word.
Nolan seems to recognize it now, too. “Wait, don’t—!”
It’s too late. Jan’s already pounded on the door. He looks back at the other men. Nolan’s closed his eyes, dreading what’s about to come. Penn’s eyes are blown wide, his mouth slightly open in horror, staring at the door. Smitty’s just as clueless as ever, tapping his foot impatiently.
For a second, Jan is worried, his hand settling against his gun. But, oddly enough, the men don’t act as if they’re in any danger, despite them looking like they’re about to face a feral animal.
The door swings open, and Jan braces.
“What the hell are you doing here?!” barks—
Sergeant Bradford?
Jan blinks.

"It shouldn’t bother him the way it does.
The boxes that once fueled his anxiety are broken down, stacked neatly by the curb to be picked up by recycling. The art that littered the floor now brightens up every room in his house. And, most importantly, Lucy is safe in his arms, her head resting over his heart, her chest rising and falling steadily while Kojo snores on her other side.
It shouldn’t bother him."

As if the situation can’t get even more overwhelming, the door of a shop slams, and Tim hears the voice of one of the last people he’d want to witness this moment.
“Awww, everyone say ‘baby’s first crime scene!’”

“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
Set in S7 around the time Celina graduates the FTO program. Tim and Lucy are trying to figure out their way back to each other. There are obstacles, an enemy from their past is unexpectedly coming back to haunt the, and this time it's Tim who needs saving.
-
Damn it.
Lucy slowly dropped her gun, moving only as much as absolutely necessary. Not that she could actually move a lot; the spindly arm wrapped around her body dug painfully into her stomach.
What had started out as a call to check on suspicious noises coming from a family home had turned into a foot pursuit of a suspected burglar. Because of the confusing layout of the maze of back alleys they were pursuing him through, Lucy had called for backup, which had arrived in the form of Tim and Miles. More backup was on the way; there were simply too many ways to escape.
They had split up in order to funnel their suspect back to the main road where backup would be waiting to cut him off. Tim had sent Miles with Lucy, for whatever reason (although some sort of Tim Test was always a good guess), while he had taken Seth to approach from the other direction.
Lucy was pretty sure that Tim was regretting that decision.
