Summary
“You're from another world,” he whispers into his wrist. Dale's fingers play with his chin, outline his moustache with their fingertips, brush his lips like they're something precious.
“You've turned my world upside down.”
“Is that an accusation?”
“It's how I feel,” Dale murmurs toward his collarbones glistening with sweat and rain and chlorine curled in his arms.

Summary
Tim never had happy memories of Christmas as a child, so of course he grew up going out of his way to avoid partaking in the holiday season. He'd permanently felt like an outsider, watching people get into the festive spirit while he felt nothing at all.
That was, until Lucy had entered his life. Wearing a Santa hat and clutching a spare pair of reindeer antlers which she’d perched atop his head, squashing his hair flat, she’d decorated the walls of his heart with twinkling Christmas lights.
And look at them now.
Or:
The squad celebrates Christmas at the Chen-Bradford house, and their hosts have an announcement to make.[Chenford Week 2025 — Day 6: Found Family, Celebrations/Holidays]

Summary
Lucy knew she was going to be stood up, that was just how internet dates went. It didn’t really matter. The date wasn’t exactly the point. It was more about the dating. Sure, that sounded like the exact same thing, but the two were fundamentally different. At least to Lucy. She was still getting used to the idea of not dating Tim if she was completely honest with herself, and this was risk-free. Firehose was not going to show up.
OR
Lucy is trying to get over Tim and Buck is trying to move on after Eddie moved to Texas. Somehow their paths cross and while sparks may not exactly be flying, maybe there's something else between them? Maybe they could be friends?

Summary
Tim never wanted to be detective. A lot of lonely paper shuffling and pissing contests and business professional attire. No thanks. He was always more of a uniform guy. Singular part of an outfit. Little league, football, army, LAPD. So he had a lot of experience in groups, and leading groups, and analyzing groups, and he could tell when there was disarray. He could tell when there was a problem, and who the problem was.
The problem is, is that the problem is him.
But he's in a rundown shed in the middle of Who Fucking Knows, Nevada, staring at five men and women around a table who are armed to the teeth, and they all know he's the odd man out. They know he doesn't belong.
What Tim knows, is that Lucy is in the basement of this shed.
And he's either leaving here with her, or he's not leaving here at all.

Or, Lucy is gone. Tim finds her. -
