Story summary: Chenford is finally canon! But what about all the moments that we don't get to see? These are those missing scenes.

Chapter summary: He’d been waiting for this moment for far too long. AKA, an extended take of the ending scene from s05e09, Take Back

Chapter 1: Far too long and not a moment too soon

Tim hoped that every day as acting Watch Commander wouldn’t be as eventful as this one. He was already thinking about tomorrow’s work when today’s wasn’t even finished. Maybe he could put those last few files off until the morning. He could come in early to work on them. That is, if he could sleep. Not knowing when Lucy would break up with Chris had been weighing on him. He believed her when she said that she wasn’t having second thoughts. But that did little to quell the stress he felt twisting into a tight knot in his belly. 

Being the boss today meant that he hadn’t even been able to check on Genny to see how she and his nephews were handling the move. Genny, the only family he had in his life and who was moving back to L.A. for him. Because he was the only connection she had and she missed him. Because he knew she was counting on her big brother to be there for her, like he had been their whole lives—even when he didn’t know how to help himself. But how much time had he even spent with her and the boys since they moved back? He decided to call her as soon as he was on his way out to the parking lot. Maybe they could all have some family time this weekend. Maybe they could—

A knock on the door frame pulled him away from all those swirling thoughts. 

Lucy.

PLEASE TELL ME HOW WE'RE SUPPOSED TO JUST LIVE NORMALLY FOR THE REST OF SEASON 5 WHEN CHENFORD IS CANON AND HAPPY AND WE'RE GOING TO KEEP GETTING MORE CONTENT FROM THEM???

#8: post-ep for 5x10, The List (aka, the rest of their second date)

One more thing: with all the theories floating around this week, I never really believed they'd kiss to "practice" before going undercover.

That felt like a fanfic fantasy scenario, not something that would ever happen on screen.

Which means canon Chenford IS LIVING A FANFICTION FANTASY.

I can't believe this is real life.

not gonna lie i think it's so adorable that pre-breakup tim set a million reminders about his girlfriend's birthday the day before like it was some extremely significant national holiday he would be cursed if he forgot. just the day the love of his life was born. a man so deeply in love.
