Summary
"We get a higher show of force, especially from men."
Lucy's fingers wrap around the chilled metal of the doorknob.
"So guess what, sweetheart, you are always going to be tested."
She applies just enough of her waning energy to twist it— and the door opens.
Stay down, and get used to that position.
Lucy crosses the threshold and lets her head fall back as she breathes in the late-night air.
Get used to that position.

Summary
She tries denying it when the coast creeps inward.
She covers her eyes so she can pretend she doesn't see the water swirling around her feet.It is only when the waves come crashing over her head that she finally, albeit belatedly, admits it to herself.
This is all so strange to him. He remembers musing about nursery decor with Isabel and discussing baby names with Lucy, for God's sake.
He can't, for the life of him, determine when he came to this conclusion, can't possibly recall when he became so staunchly resolute in his resolution to remain childfree forever.

Summary
So vivid is this memory in Lucy's mind that when she feels the hands on her shoulders, hoisting her from where she is lain in his trunk, she is almost able to convince herself that the hands belong to her father, and he is carrying her into the house from the car.
She is being carried into a house from a car, but it is all happening the wrong way. This man is not her father, and she is not being carried against her father's chest. She is draped across this man's right shoulder, held there by his right arm as it pins her thighs to his upper abdomen. She is milliseconds away from falling, though Lucy knows that he will not let her fall. It is so violating, yet simultaneously so intimate that she almost forgets to feel fear.

My rewrite of 2x11 (Day of Death) because The Rookie writers are too afraid to include sexual assault in any context that can't be ignored or minimized.
Title taken from the song "Red Tears" by Jeff Dewsnup. The artist donates the royalties from this song to help survivors of sexual assault.

Summary
Rewriting certain scenes from The Rookie because the writers are cowards (love them tho)… and inserting some canon-divergent moments as a means of catharsis for my own personal trauma.

Summary
If you had asked Tim what the worst day of his life was, he would have known his answer immediately. The date was permanently etched into his mind and Lucy's skin.
But now he had a new answer.
Set after 4x12 The Knock, but diverges after Tim and Ashley's conversation about the double date.

Summary
Something happened to Lucy on her most recent long term undercover mission. That isn’t a question. What bothers Tim is that she hasn't talked to him about it—
The girl who processes her emotions by talking to other people hasn’t said a word and he’s at a bit of a loss on how to deal with that.

Summary
Lucy pounds on the door and calls out between the alarms: “This is Sergeant Chen with the LAPD! One of the marshals on board is dead, and the other is badly injured. We have to land immediately.”
There’s a brief, terrible silence, where she waits to see if the pilots will bother responding to her. One of the bullets might have hit a piece of equipment, and they’re troubleshooting their way through landing the plane; the four rapid buzzes and a modulated voice shouting STALL STALL certainly make it seem like something bad has happened.
Just when Lucy raises her fist to knock again, the locks unlatch and the door swings inward. Her gaze catches and holds on the blood-speckled windscreen, where she watches the stretch of open ocean grow closer with every second.
Or: At 10,000 feet in the air, Lucy's last UC mission goes terribly, horribly wrong.

Summary
It shouldn’t have taken almost losing her again for Tim to pull his act together.
But then again, he’s never been good at allowing himself to feel.
