Summary
“Tim? Are-are you okay? Oh my god! How are you standing?” Lucy panicked.
“Lucy, I’m fine. It was not a big deal. Are you okay?” Tim deflected.
“Yes. Yes, I’m okay; you’re the one who bore the brunt of the concrete. How is your spine okay? We need to get you to a hospital! You’re probably in shock… You could be bleeding internally, or have a head trauma–”
“LUCY! Breathe! I’m okay; I have all my limbs, my spine is not broken, and my brain is fine!” Tim took Lucy by the shoulders to calm her down.
“How can you know that? Tim, that was at least 2 tons of concrete; no one would be fine if that fell on a person. You have to at least get checked out.”

Summary
Her heart leaps. The way he makes it sound so… easy. It’s him reaching out for her, telling her I got you. I’ll be there with you. It’s a lifeline he’s throwing her. It’s a world of possibility all wrapped up in three little words. Unless it is.

Summary
An old case that Tim worked as a rookie comes up with a fresh lead, which translates into seeing his TO for the first time in years. Who was his TO, you ask? None other than Athena Grant.
Or, Athena sees the absolute obviousness that is Chenford, and gets roped in to making them see it by Angela and Nyla, not knowing they've already done that themselves. The 118 may or may not be roped in also.

5x10 | Speculation by thesedarkcafedays for HeyItsEm (toews_a_peek), silverskull

Summary
It has been ten days.
It has been ten days since Tim Bradford had his heart beating so loud that he could feel it thumping in his ears. Ten days since he tried to convey in his gaze every ounce of desire he felt for the gorgeous woman in front of him. Ten days since he had to use every restraint he had to stop at a respectable distance while asking the said woman out on a date. In uniform. Inside the Watch Commander's office. For the second time, he might add.
It has been ten excruciating drawn-out days, and he hasn't been able to collect his date with Lucy Chen.OR: Some speculation about 5x10 according to what we've seen in the promos.

Summary
I was originally going to title this Mr. Steal Yo' Girl, but per usual, I was unable to keep Lucy and Chris together beyond the first scene, thereby leaving no room for Tim to "steal" her.
I assume if you're reading this, you've already seen the 5x08 promo. This story is loosely based on predicted episode events and fully based on my headcanon.
POV switches between Lucy and Tim on alternate chapters.Series

Summary
This is the worst day of Lucy's entire life, barrel be damned. This, losing Tim Bradford, having to sit helplessly while he dies, is the worst thing she’s ever lived through.
