The BNL cover of Lovers in a Dangerous time is infinitely gayer than the original because of the year it was released

Unabashed, enduring devotion is fun, you should try it sometime. Perhaps at the end of the world.

Chenford Fanfic: 𝘓𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘢 𝘋𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘴 𝘛𝘪𝘮𝘦, ��𝘢𝘳𝘵 𝘐𝘐

The Rookie Fanfiction | Chenford | Complete | 9.8 K | Rated E | Intimacy | Sex | S04E22 Alternate Take

But Lucy did have expectations—or rather, she was hopeful . Hopeful that “dinner” might lead to something more. Now that they were both single. Now that they’d had just a taste of what it might be like. She knew she craved more. She hoped he did, too.

Or:

Picking up right where Part I ended, Lucy and Tim juggle the responsibilities of their job while coming to terms with what they mean to each other.

Check out an excerpt below the gif, or head over to AO3 for Part II!

After Angela and the rest of their team had left the room, Lucy and Tim remained in their seats next to each other, file folders and schematics of all the buildings in Hajek’s holdings littered on the table in front of them. Hajek was playing things close to the vest, only giving Tim a vague idea about when the job would be coming up, which made it all the more difficult to plan out their operation in as much detail as they would have liked. And depending on how the job went down, Tim and Lucy knew they might need to extend the time they spent undercover. They needed to be ready to go at a moment’s notice.

Lucy tapped her pen on the edge of the table, pulling her bottom lip between her teeth before she asked Tim the question that she had been burning to ask. “How did Ashley take it when you told her you have to postpone your trip to Hawaii?”

“Uh, well… she took it about as well as possible, considering we broke up.”

“Oh. Because of… because of the undercover mission?” she asked. “I’m sorry, you don’t have to tell me. It’s not any of my business.”

“No, it’s okay. Recently, I… It turned out that we didn’t want the same things. It just made sense to end things now, before… I don’t know, before things got more serious.” He fidgeted with the paper sleeve around his cup of coffee. “And Chris? How does he feel about you going undercover?”

“He… Well, he doesn’t.” 

He furrowed his brow as he looked at her. 

“We also broke up, um, recently.” She flinched internally at the misdirect, but shrugged lightly, trying to play it off. “We weren’t on the same page. I always felt like he was more invested in our relationship than I was. And we were lacking that–that something. That spark. We just weren’t a good fit.” 

Her half-hearted smile faltered when she looked at Tim, and he remembered the single time her ex-boyfriend came up in conversation the night before—when he asked her how Chris would have touched her, and she didn’t answer.

“I’m sorry, Lucy. I feel like part of that is my fault. I’m the one who set you up with him.”

Lucy started to reach for his hand on the table, but stopped just short of making contact. Tim looked at her hand hovering so close to his on the table—so close and so tempting to reach out and hold the way he did last night (oh, the things they did last night)—and then looked back at her face.

“Tim, that’s… that’s really sweet. But also really unnecessary. You didn’t force us into anything. It was something we had to figure out for ourselves.”

“How are you feeling about that?”

She started to smile. When she first met Tim, he never would have cared, let alone asked about her feelings or personal life.

“I’m feeling… good. Content even? I feel like everything is as it should be right now. And you? Are you doing okay with everything?”

“I am. Even though I don’t think I can get my deposit back for that trip,” Tim laughed. “But I feel better knowing that my future is open—that I’m open—to finding what it is I really want in a relationship.” 

He tried to hide what he was really thinking—who he was really thinking of—and had been thinking of since the restless hours he spent last night re-examining his relationship with Lucy. But the softness in his voice and in the look in his eyes threatened to give him away.

“I think that’s probably the best outcome when you end any relationship,” she told him. “You take your experiences, positive or negative though they may be, and let that help guide you—to recognize what it is you want when you’re ready for something new.”

Tim was quiet for a moment before he spoke. “That's a good way of looking at it.”

He smiled softly at her, and the air between them seemed to warm ever so slightly as they both turned back to the research in front of them.

It was going to be a long day.

She's so PRETTY

Regina you look absolutely UNHINGED HERE.

Like the definition of stranger danger.

Bitch you're literally carrying less than her.

Well babe, they can be one in the same.

She may be evil but she has the right idea.

Belle looks SCANDALIZED.

Okay but where's the lie?

To be fair! Beauty and the beast/ rumbelle isnt a Stockholm syndrome shit like a lot of people say. Beast CHANGED for belle, I'm sure rumple is gonna change for belle, but I havent seen how yet.

Chenford Fanfic: 𝘓𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘢 𝘋𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘴 𝘛𝘪𝘮𝘦, 𝘗𝘢𝘳𝘵 𝘐

“But I think what’s even more important—what’s practical in this type of situation—is that we’re comfortable with intimacy.”

“What do you mean?” he asked tentatively.

“It’s not about kissing. It’s… it’s those little touches, the comfort, the familiarity they have with each other that tells the world who they are to each other.”

OR

Before they kiss in the season 4 finale, Tim and Lucy work on their intimacy while trying to stay in character

You can find a short excerpt below the gif break, or simply jump ahead to the full chapter here

“If we’re gonna make this work, our backstory’s got to be airtight.”

She laughed off his idea that they met at a barbeque, dismissing it as lame, and he dared her to do better.

“You were on the run from the cops… A bank robbery gone wrong. You ended up in my building—frantic, looking for a place to hide, and… and I opened the door for you. I lied to the cops for you. And… Ooh.” After the thought popped into her head, the look in her eyes could have burned right through him. “And it got me so hot that we hooked up while they were still searching the building.”

Tim’s jaw was left hanging open by the mental image Lucy had painted.

“Okay,” he gulped, his mind still preoccupied with thoughts about his and Lucy’s alter egos sparking as soon as they met. “That… That… That’s pretty good, actually.”

It was more than good. He admired how self-assured she was when she created a backstory for their undercover personas and the pride she exuded as she accepted his compliment.

“Thank you.”

When his eyes locked with hers, she noticed a flicker of something that might have been lust in his eyes.

“Mm-hmm. So, look… we should—” he tried to find the words most likely to not let him sound like an imbecile. “We should probably, you know, talk about the elephant in the room.”

She gestured with an open hand for him to continue.

“You know, ‘cause, if—if we’re gonna sell that we are actually boyfriend and girlfriend, we need to be… you know, convincing. We should be comfortable with one another.”

“You’re not comfortable with me? Wow, Tim. Almost two years riding with you and the truth finally comes out,” she deadpanned.

“I—that’s not what I—” he threw his hands up in frustration.

“I know,” she said with a grin. “Sometimes you make it too easy to get you riled up.”

He glared at her. “Look, all I’m saying is that we should make sure we can convincingly pull this off. Maybe we need to, I don’t know, kiss or something.”

When she didn’t answer right away, Tim suddenly felt embarrassed for making that suggestion.

Lucy knew how much he liked to be in control, and she could see him getting antsy as he waited for her response. So she let him sweat it out a moment longer.

“I agree…” she said, breaking the silence. “But I think what’s even more important—what’s practical in this type of situation—is that we’re comfortable with intimacy.”

“What do you mean?” he asked tentatively.

“It’s not about kissing. It’s… it’s those little touches, the comfort, the familiarity they have with each other that tells the world who they are to each other.”

He looked at her thoughtfully. Not that he would ever tell her, but he enjoyed hearing her perspective on a wide array of matters—on anything, really. She had a way of describing things that held his attention.

“For starters, look at how far apart we’re sitting,” she told him. “We look like strangers.”

“That’s not… being strangers. That’s what’s called personal space, Lucy.”

“Personal space,” she scoffed. “Okay, if you’re Dim and I’m…” she paused before letting the ridiculous nickname Tim came up with leave her lips. “… Juicy.”

But as soon as she said it, his own lips cracked into a smile and she couldn’t help but laugh, her fingers landing on his arm that was stretched across the back of the couch.

“If I’m Juicy,” she said through a chuckle, “then we like each other enough to be close. We enjoy each other. We crave each other.” Her voice was laced with desire, and Tim could feel a pool of heat rising low in his belly in response. “So it’s not so much about a kiss as it is appearing like we work closely together all the time. Like we’re partners. Like we depend on each other and have each other’s backs.”

He wondered how it was possible she didn’t realize that the words she was using to describe this pair of criminals could easily describe herself and Tim? “That makes sense,” he nodded. It makes a lot of sense.

underrated tomgreg b-plot in vaulter tbh. tom and greg doing the same thing that logan is tasking roman and kendall with doing on a seemingly smaller scale, even though it shouldn't be. those fifty skulls, at least as far as we see, go nowhere. because logan doesn't actually want to trim the fat from his company when he's gutting vaulter nearly as much as he wants to manipulate his family. that's the core of the family business, and due to this, tom and greg's maneuvers seem like the real waste. they're directly fighting against logan's efforts to stay in the past without even realizing it. it's farcical but it's also really sweet imo, the firmness of the tomgreg alliance despite the little fight about greg's principles. tom may correct himself but he really does mean we <3
