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
“It’s not like you were going to propose or something.”
Tim immediately freezes, and so does she. Damn. Why the hell did she say that out loud? She hadn’t meant to, but it’d been on the top of her mind, and it just...slipped out. She opens her mouth to correct herself, but nothing comes out fast enough.
Oh, no. She knows that expression on his face. She’s made him incredibly nervous, and now he doesn’t know what to do or say. Her face goes hot despite the rain, and she has the terrible, immediate sense that she has just stepped directly on the thing they have both been carefully walking around.
“Would it have been so bad?” he eventually asks.
Lucy blinks, not sure what he’s asking. “What?”
“If I proposed,” he clarifies.

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.

Summary
What would Tim Bradford do if he woke up one day and realized the life he remembered wasn’t the one he was living?
-----
The door creaks open mid-sentence, and Tim’s words falter immediately. Lucy steps into the room, and her presence is like a sudden shift in the air. Finally, they can get out of here. His full attention slides her, but all previous frustration he felt is momentarily eclipsed by something else.She’s been crying. It’s written all over her face, plain as day. Her eyes are red and glassy, the faint puffiness beneath them in addition to her slightly pink nose making her look far more vulnerable than he’s used to seeing. Even her posture betrays her; she’s standing too stiffly, her arms wrapped tightly around her midsection as though she’s holding herself together by sheer will alone.
Angela might actually have a point.
If he didn’t feel bad enough before, he sure does now.
