what i like about sarah bradford's approach to the borgias history is that when she has her opinions and sympathies she makes them known proudly and doesn't mince words. she loves cesare and lucrezia, you can feel it reading their biographies. but she doesn't like juan very much and she makes it painfully clear too:

just wrote it like it is. and who can argue with that? certainly not me.

[During the War] the King appeared always in uniform, the striking and becoming midnight-blue uniform trimmed with gold of an Admiral of the Fleet set off his lean figure and fine features. With his high cheekbones and delicate bones without an ounce of extra flesh, the King was highly photogenic.

"She was also a Borgia, with her father's charm, graceful manners and administrative skills, stamina and understanding of the workings of power. Like him, she knew very well how to turn events to her advantage; she accepted situations as they were and went her own way, bending to circumstances but never defeated by them. She shared the curious mixture of piety, sensuality and total indifference to sexual morality that was a feature of her family, but when she was in a position to express herself, she proved to be a kind, gentle and compassionate woman."
- Lucrezia Borgia: Life, Love and Death in Renaissance Italy by Sarah Bradford

You just happened to have that on you? Of course not. My dad taught me to carry dog biscuits. Thought he was pulling my leg, but that just worked like gangbusters.

The Shape of You
Chenford Fic | Explicit | Complete | 4.7k words
It’s honestly shocking that Lieutenant Pine was able to convince Tim to represent Metro at a Gala full of Los Angeles’ elite in the first place. It’s no surprise that he’s feeling a little surly about going.
But maybe Lucy can make things a little more enjoyable for him.
Read it here.

Top Lucy and top Tim moments of any kind, aaaand GO!!
Okay but how many???? You gotta give me a number or I'll list every moment on the show 🤭
Top Tim moments:
Acknowledging his own problematic past behaviour - we all hate the gardeners scene, but bringing this back later on, leading to him owning up to it, and promising to do better, is such a great example of how much Tim has grown as a character, and I think that was such an important moment.
Tim visiting his father and sort of trying to make peace with the situation. His dad is a scumbag and he deserves nothing, but watching Tim get some sort of closure, knowing that he came out of it on the other side despite of his trauma is kind of priceless. And I love how in doing so, it enables him to fix his relationship with his sister, and be there for her more as well. "I am who I am in spite of you!" And allowing himself to be vulnerable with Lucy here was also so great to watch. I love this man so much, please let him be happy.
This following one I really love because it shows us the type of man Tim is. "Some things matter more." He can carry this very cynical facade, but deep down he cares so deeply for the people he loves. And I think this was such great timing too, because in 2x11 we saw Tim literally break all sorts of laws to find Lucy. Tim Bradford, the most by the book guy ever literally threatened a guy to find Lucy. Because rules matter. But some things matter more.
Holding off his promotion for Lucy. This is pretty self explanatory, but I just wanna say how amazing it was to see their mentorship really flourish here. He could've passed Lucy on to a different T.O. but he knew they went through something together, and he wanted to see it all the way through.
Tim being the best and the most overworked man of honor. Just that whole... thing. Going to bat for his friend, helping her try on dresses... I love him.
I actually loved the scene he has with Isabel at the rehab facility. With how long he pined for her, you'd think he'd be over the moon to get her back, but he makes the better choice for himself in that moment, and I'm so proud of him for that.
Speaking of proud.... you know what I'm gonna say. THE FIGHT SCENE. I was so proud of Tim for knowing when to step back from a stressful situation and regroup before talking it out. With how hurt he was, some angry words would come out and that's never good. I know most people love the idea of him going to her that same night or vice versa, but I love the idea of them taking a one night breather and coming back to this conversation when they're in the head space to have it.
Top Lucy moments:
Watching the barrel video and deciding not to testify. As much as I hate that Tim wasn't there with her, and that Chris is an insensitive jerk, the truth is this episode is so badass for Lucy. Reliving her trauma, getting through that alone, and then deciding that she doesn't need to prove anything to anyone, because she already did that, by surviving and moving on. That was sort of the closure I've been hoping for her, and am really happy she managed to get it.
I'm such a sucker for a badass Lucy moment, so I really love the UC op she did in 3x14, especially the moment where they come in and are like "I thought you said she needed rescuing" because she truly did so well.
Lucy recording the book for Tim. I love scenes that show us who the character is, and and we know from the beginning she's sweet and kind and that empathy is her superpower, but this is such a great example that Lucy will go to extreme lengths to help out the people in her life (hello she cleaned Smitty's RV). Like it not only took a lot of time to record, and she had to call Isabel to ask her about it, but it also shows how much faith she has in Tim's eventual promotion.
Not really a moment, but Lucy letting Tamara in is pretty at the top for me. Because this woman just refuses to get cynical, despite being put through so much up until that point. You can see how badly she wants to help people and make the world better - and she does. She completely changes the world for Tamara, giving her a home and a family.
Lucy acting as watch commander for a day. Honestly that was just so priceless, and you get to see how much respect her fellow officers have for her. Grey giving her praise at the end because she did such a good job was amazing, and I was rooting for her the entire episode.
I love the moment where she calls Tim out for acting doublefaced after she lied on the report to protect him. I just love love that as hard as he is on her she never ever backs down.
I realize that most of these are involving Tim but she has no friends apparently so.... I love the moment where she shows up for Tim way back in s1. He was such a jerk to her, and yet it took her all of five minutes to realize how much he's hurting. She read him like an open book. So when she showed up there and prevented him from making a mistake that was such a beautiful beginning of what would later evolve in an amazing friendship.
THIS IS SO LONG SARAH, THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DON'T GIVE ME A NUMBER.
