Summary
“7-Adam-100.” It’s Miles again, but this time there’s a breathlessness to his voice that gives Lucy pause. “Need the bomb squad to our—”
His transmission cuts out a half-second after a deafening sound peaks the mic. Fear bolts down Lucy’s spine as she and Celina glance over at each other, and a beat of aghast silence stretches through the shop before a dispatcher’s voice comes through the radio.
“7-Adam-100, do you copy?”
A tense few moments pass. There's no response.

Summary
Tim thought he would be able to win Lucy back in small doses, over time. A Valentine’s hookup, a visible love bite, and suddenly, everyone at the Mid-Wilshire PD is apologizing to him.
Turns out, they had a betting pool on their breakup. But it’s not the lost bets that sting. It’s the whispers of a new man, a surprise trip to Hawaii, and the very real possibility that Lucy’s moving on–professionally and personally–without him. Tim has to confront not only Lucy’s choices but his own buried feelings before it’s too late.
A/N: This takes place after episode 7x06 and goes AU from there with some canon mixed in.

Summary
“The stars really are the greatest reminder of how our actions have no consequence in the grand scheme of things. Even tonight; I kill you, the love of your life suffocates in that barrel—”
Tim’s heart clenches.
“—maybe it means something to you, to your friends, to your little sister, sure, but outside of here? Beyond your precious city? Out there in the universe? Not even a blip. The world keeps turning, the planets stay in their paths of orbit. The stars aren’t moved by your loss, but aren’t they beautiful all the same?”
