Summary
“You came,” Tim says, his voice more timid than she’s ever heard it, an unmistakable surprise in his voice.
She nods. “I told you I would.”
He’s quiet for a minute, staring at her in a way that makes her feel like he’s looking right through into her soul. “I know, I just…” He pauses. “I wouldn’t have blamed you if you changed your mind,” he adds with a shrug.
(or, Tim has been going to a veterans support group, and invites Lucy to a meeting.)

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
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.

Lucy's thoughts in the aftermath of Tim's decision to break them up.

The necklace and the 17st award and the KIA radio. Pancake mix and rum and vilely dusty orange protein bars.Their shared thermos.
Kojo’s birthday card.
Her own moonstone ring.
All mementos of the space he’d filled in her life like a gently flowing waterfall. Soft marshes along an ox-bow river. Sandbanks in a lagoon, taking up residence in the spaces she’d ignored as tricky puzzle pieces. Jigsaw blanks outlined and cordoned off while she focused on the familiar forms of places known and well-worn with routine.

The only thing – the thing Lucy always knew would blow up in their faces – was her undercover work.
She’d known it.
If anything were to come between them, that’s what was going to end this.

Summary
Finally, he turns back to the bar, wordlessly pouring her a shot of tequila. He slides it across the counter toward her, lifting his own glass in a silent gesture of cheers before downing the amber liquid in one fell swoop.
Lucy questions momentarily if maybe this isn’t the best idea — if adding alcohol to the intensity of the anger and grief and resentment that is still radiating off of him will result in anything other than regret.
But again, she opts to stay quiet. If this is what he needs in this moment, this is what she will give him.
She follows suit, wincing as the harshness of the liquor slides down the back of her throat.

Summary
Angela knew what it was like to not want to let someone out of your sight after you’ve almost lost them. So she knew there was no way Tim was leaving that hospital until they forced him out.
Which was how she found herself in his annoyingly clean house, trying to imagine which clothes would fare best after a night sleeping in a hospital chair—because she knew Mr. Military would hate the idea of waking up wrinkled.

As Angela watches Tim with Lucy after her kidnapping, she realizes that something different is happening between her best friend and his Boot, even if neither of them know it yet.

Summary
In this AU, Tim Bradford met Lucy Chen the first night of their transatlantic sailing from England to New York City. 12 years later, their daughters and identical strangers, Hannah Bradford and Allie Chen meet when they end up spending their summer at the same camp. It turns out, Hannah and Allie look alike for a reason, and once they discover a secret about their shared past, they hatch a plan that will throw their parents’ lives off balance in a way they had not experienced in…12 years.
Inspired by the film “The Parent Trap” (1998). Title of this story shares the name of a song sung by Hayley Mills in the original 1961 version of “The Parent Trap”.
I do not own the rights to the film “The Parent Trap” (1998).

Summary
Tim and Lucy often have happy kisses, but sad hugs on-screen. What if we flipped that idea and wrote a two-shot?
*
She’s in his arms, wrapping herself against him tightly, and he pulls her close, dipping his nose into her hair. He can smell exhaust, and cigarette smoke, and the unfamiliar shampoo from the apartment she shared with her mark, but it’s her - it’s her - and she’s here, with him, and he can feel her ribs below his fingers, her eyelashes fluttering against his neck, and nothing else in the world matters.Series

Summary
He doesn’t really remember what happens after that.
Just flashes.
He remembers hauling Lucy outside for some air, her hand held tight in his as they stumbled onto the concrete of the strip.
He remembers being so enthralled by her as she laughed and danced down the sidewalk that he almost ran into a pole.
He remembers her hauling him inside of the chapel, less than a few blocks from their hotel.
(“I just want to watch, Tim!” she’d cried, laughing and smiling as she’d tugged on their clasped hands, and he hadn’t been able to deny her anything in that moment.)
He remembers sliding the ring onto her finger and kissing her.

Summary
“She’s not mine,” he whispers, his heart shattering, but Dr. Warren doesn’t hear him.
“She’s been intubated because she was struggling to breathe on her own,” he says, handing Tim a yellow, gauze apron to don before they walk into a room full of immune compromised babies. “There will be a lot of wires and tubes, but don’t let them alarm you. She has an IV, a nasogastric feeding tube, and we’re monitoring all of her vitals. They’re still working on assessing her, but we know she’s 2 pounds, 2 ounces, and we’ve estimated her gestation to be around 30 weeks, though she’s smaller than expected due to being exposed to opioids in utero. She’s…”
Tim barely hears what Dr. Warren is saying as he pauses in the doorway to the NICU.
She’s not mine, he thinks, and even though he’s only known about this baby, Isabel’s baby, for less than two hours, he feels tears prickling in his eyes.
Isabel left eight months ago.
34 weeks.
This baby, this teeny, tiny little girl… belongs to Isabel and some other man.
