chenford week 2021 | day seven - free choice: actor appreciation
@EricWinter1: Just want to say…seeing so much love from all of you #Chenford #tucy fans doesn’t go unnoticed by @Mel13Oneil and I. We LOVE the LOVE!!! Keep it coming.
Look at them. Just look. This was 2018, peeps. The pilot had just aired. Was there ever any doubt we’d end up here with that kind of chemistry? Damn. 🔥
This thing where everyone some peeps (☺️) have been taking a side is so curious to me. At present, the show is doing quite a decent job of balancing my sympathy card. I love both characters, I want to see them both happy, and I’m both pissed on Lucy’s behalf and heartbroken for Tim. I’m enjoying this whole arc from a viewer standpoint, but as a human being, the gut-wrenching awkwardness of it all is often turning me into an emotional puddle of goo.
And yet, I AM enjoying it, because Eric and Melissa are killing it, and because I know Chenford are endgame. It’s that simple. I know I can’t be the only one feeling this way. And you know what? I don’t care if you think I’m wrong for it. 😂
don’t think I didn’t see you pink cardigan from chenford’s first time, I see you and I appreciate your presence in this episode tonight god bless the costume department for that easter egg lol
Chenford Fanfic Teaser: Sequel to That's What Partners are For
The Rookie Fanfiction | Chenford | Rated E | Intentional Seduction | Undressing
Remember when I wrote a Chenford fic inspired by this moment from Bones?

Well, the sequel is inspired by this moment from Psych.

I started writing the sequel right after I finished the first installment. It's been kicking around in my drafts, and I occasionally shake off the dust and work on it. I've made quite a bit of progress this time, and wanted to share a little bit of what I've been working on.
Here are a couple of short excerpts from the first half of the story.
Title TBA (Rated E)
After the bomber is caught, Lucy and Tim give into their temptations. Tim decides it's his turn to undress Lucy.
... But every signal he had been getting from Lucy, combined with a gut feeling that grew stronger by the moment, told him—screamed at him—that she wanted him, too.
Here goes nothing.
Tim leaned a hip on the bar, facing Lucy. Close, but just out of reach. While they waited for a bartender to notice them, Tim lowered his lips to Lucy’s ear so he could be heard over the music. “Do you trust me to order for you?” he asked. “I think I’ve got a good idea of what you like.”
She wouldn’t have expected for such simple words to have such an effect on her. But something about the way Tim said those words filled Lucy’s head with ideas that she had tried to abandon after she walked out of the men’s locker room yesterday afternoon, evidence bags in hand.
Tim had pulled away from her ear, but lingered nearby, not having returned to his full height. Lucy looked up at him slowly. “Yes,” she said. “I trust you.”
“Two glasses of San Matias Cristal, dressed, please,” Tim told the bartender as he handed over his credit card.
“Opening up a tab?” the bartender asked.
“No, I’ll close it out,” he told them. He didn’t plan to be at the bar for very long if things went the way he had hoped.
“Tequila?” Lucy asked him, surprised. “I don’t know if I’ve ever seen you drink tequila.”
The heat building inside of Lucy’s body felt like no match for the look in Tim’s eyes when he said, “I wanted to try something new tonight.”
...
“Cheers.”
Their glasses clinked together and Tim’s eyes followed Lucy’s movements as her tongue peeked out to swipe a taste of salt from the rim of her glass before she took a sip. She closed her eyes as she savored the smooth taste of the tequila Tim ordered for her before letting the icy liquor slide down her throat.
Tim took a drink from his own glass, all the while keeping his eyes on her as she lifted the lime garnish to her lips and sucked its juice.
He was overcome with his need to touch her.
His fingers reached for her face and his thumb skimmed across the tip of her nose.
Tim leaned in, his lips next to her ear. “Salt,” he explained, his voice rumbling.
“Oh,” she said breathlessly.
As his lips pulled away, Lucy could feel the warmth of Tim’s breath coasting over her cheek. But Lucy couldn’t tell if the movement bringing their faces closer together came solely from Tim, or if she herself was drifting closer. Their noses now brushing up against each other, Lucy could sense that their lips were just a hair’s breadth apart.
She looked up at him through her lashes. “What are you doing, Tim?”
“This? It’s just… very close talking.”
Lucy shifted in her seat to bring their conversation (and their lips) even… closer. “Mmm, I see,” she said, enjoying the vibration that was created between their bodies.
“And what do you feel like talking about?” she asked, briefly closing her eyes, then opening them to make sure it wasn’t all a dream.
Tim placed his fingers on top of her wrist so lightly, it felt like a whisper.
“You.”
Yes folks, Tim does indeed try something new that night. 😏
The sequel is rated E, so instead of posting a second chapter of the T-rated That's What Partners are For, it will be part of a series.
The series is tentatively titled Take It Off and can be found here on AO3 so you can subscribe for updates.
Was absolutely not fake and that this is absolutely how they are together as a real couple now.
Like you can’t tell me they don’t sway and heart eyes and nuzzling like this all the time now.
YEEES! THEY WERE SO INSANE FOR THIS!
They didn't need to go this hard (even though Sava and Jake would have approved). Not there, not in the plane… And certainly not in that bathroom! This was just them being them. It was so natural, almost instinctive. The way they're swaying feels like they're slow dancing… The heart eyes… The touching!!
And they 100% do this as a couple now… I mean, can you see any difference with this moment?
Heart eyes ✅
Swaying ✅
Nuzzling - coming in hot two minutes later
The only difference is that they didn't need to hide behind a cover story. But this was never just pretend!
