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

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.

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

Track By Track: Girlfriends and Boyfriends - Lost in the Noise

Words: Andy Hughes (Photo Credit: Alex Carre) My partner recently bought a DAB radio and I’d love to say it’s BBC Radio 6 Music day and night, but it’s mostly been Absolute 80s since we plugged it in and I’ve been loving it. Though I only just about made it into the 80s (born at the tail end), there’s something about the musical output of the decade that I can’t get enough of. Enter Girlfriends…

Alright Donna stans, gather around. It's big brain time.

Did ya all notice how out of all the LIs, Miranda was most scared of Donna? Miranda went out of her way to try take us away from her. Miranda also said that Donna is dangerous.

Just what exactly has our local florist done to get Miranda of all people batshit scared?

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

It’s Amaya’s birthday! ....Which means I drew Yui!😂😂

Duality of Yui is just very....*swoons*...yeah.😊

Best present I could ever give myself.

[depressedstressedlemonzest]

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.
