fic: you’re one of the few things that i’m sure of (2/2)
title: you’re one of the few things that i’m sure of, part 2/2. here on AO3
rating: teen, because there are some mild allusions
warnings: none, but you may need to see the dentist after you read this
a/n: this is 1000% the fault of @farfarawaygirl but, @onlyforchenford also encouraged this. If you must blame someone, blame them. Me? I am blameless, but a tool in the hands of these demanding masters. (this is the original video that inspired the fic.)
Title is from J.P. Saxe’s The Few Things
Summary: Tim struggles with being in Metro for the exact same reasons Hicks’ wanted out. Lucy understands, she’s a cop too, but Tim wishes he could be there all the time, every time, anyway. Well, he’s always been a show you kind of guy, hasn’t he? Tim shows Lucy and shows up for Lucy. In chapter two, Tim finds his courage, Lucy responds appropriately, and there’s a happy ending.

P.S. Go watch this, but AFTER you read the chapter
But I feel like I wanted a hot coffee and got one that was lukewarm.
The writers could be writing the absolute shiitake mushrooms out of Chenford, and some of the scenes make nice gif sets, but I feel that it's just lacking SOMETHING, for me.
The writers have been pining to write Chenford for 5 seasons, and this is the best they can come up with? There are people who bingewatch The Rookie in like a week and write better fanfiction than this.
Lucy was trapped in a barrel? Yeah, let's just put in a line about escape rooms, no one will remember.
There is a DOD tattoo? Eeeeek! Too dark and twisty for us now!
Can anyone remember when Tim got shot? Yeah, let's just say it was on Lucy's first day, no one remembers S1 anyhow.
Now, who can think of a way to make meth labs funny...
need the rest of season 5 to not just be all shits and giggles like I need more serious plot lines, I’m so fed up with this show trying to be comedic like it’s just not doing it for me man 😐
I really think the writers and show runner think that backstory bothers casual viewers...
There's that, and the fact they think that Tim was shot on Lucy's first day as a rookie. So, ya know, backstory for the show you actually write for is tough, people (but not tough for the fan fic writers that don't actually get paid for writing rookie content) *sigh*
Sometimes I think the show forgets that Lucy was like... kidnapped by a serial killer and buried alive, and died? And that her best friend that she lived with got murdered? And that her parents don’t approve of her career or life choices so she doesn’t even technically have blood family around? And that she’s also been through like a hundred other things that never get brought up again? Yeah, I think about this a lot
