Extremely minor Spiderman spoiler ahead ~~ only mention of a single scene with a picture that has been circulating for a few months.

July's fanvid is brought to you by my obsession with Voicemails For Isabelle. Aside from 'Dancing On My Own', Gabrielle Aplin's 'Waking Up Slow' is one of my favourite songs and scenes from the movie, so of course I had to make a video of it.

I hope you enjoy this one and see you in the next.

Didn't get the chance to post each story during Chenford Week so here's a master list of all I've written.

Day 1: Don't Know Who You Are, But I'm Intrigued

Just a normal day at St. Stephens, when they roll in. (Episode 8x06)

And for any football fans who need a read after last night's match, here's a fic I wrote last world cup. (I can't believe it's already 4 years ago)

I'd Do Anything You Want... Just To See You Smile

When the Mid-Wilshire crew wants to watch the FIFA World Cup Finals, what better place is there than Mid-Wilshire's biggest football fan's house?

Only problem is, the World Cup is soccer. And there's only one person who can get him to say 'yes'.

Full transparency, I'm trying to increase my YouTube views because my long-form videos haven't been doing too well. Any suggestions of videos you'd might like to see?

Haven't tried it yet, but I'm also thinking of making Chenford karaoke vids if anyone is interested.

My latest fanvid:

Or at least partially.

What was said:

BRADFORD My scowl is legendary.

NOLAN It was. But then Lucy moved in.

What should've been said:

BRADFORD My scowl is legendary.

NOLAN It was. But then Lucy happened.

Aka. #SoftyTim was a thing way before Lucy moved in.

Evidence: Tim's smile way back in Season 2 Episode 8: Clean Cut

Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

For anyone who might want to see the video I was editing,

Looks a lot like this.

I want to make a vid for woman's day with the OG Rookie Women (Nyla counts right?) but need suggestions for scenes with all 3 of them.

Also, best fight scenes or quotes from each woman appreciated.

Maybe I'm over-analysing things, but there are 2 tiny Chenford moments in 8x04.

Tim didn't approve Lucy's OT - aka. Takes care of his LIGF even on the job and makes sure she gets enough rest (and possibly go home with him). Question is, assuming the arrest happened during the day shift, was Smitty on a night shift?

Lucy notices Tim hasn't slept for more than 4 hours consecutively since becoming watch commander - aka. Lucy wakes up when Tim does, or he's burning the midnight oil and she brings him a cup of coffee while he works at their dining room table, or he's so stressed he can't sleep and she sometimes wakes up to him just watching her sleep because it's one of the things that brings him peace.

This went longer than I thought. Maybe I shouldn't be typing this when I'm tired at 2am, but it's Chenford...

What date do you think Wopez Lovers chose for their anniversary: the failed wedding or courthouse wedding?

Also, I wonder how many years have they been married? I'm assuming 4-5 years considering Jack has a sister, if so did Jack go to that fancy preschool they were trying to enroll him in?

One more thought, if they did choose the failed wedding date as their anniversary date, does that mean it's also Jackson's death anniversary? That might have made Lucy moving out much more emotional, being close to or on Jackson's death anniversary.

Just a short inspired by Tim bringing Lucy dinner and it took me back to that episode in season 2 where Lucy brings Tim food while he was recovering, thus this was born.

Also setting this video to post during my lunch break because while there is no Tim Bradford bringing me food, this will be my lunch time reminder.

Episodes used:

2x01: Impact

6x10: Escape Plan

2x11: Day of Death

"I'm not here to undermine you or anything," he holds his hands up in surrender. "I'm just here to provide support."

"Aren't you supposed to be at Lopez's New Year's Party?" Lucy questions him with a look, eyebrow raised at the streaks of glitter still in his hair.

"The kids are 2 and 4. New Year's at their house is at 6pm." He counters, crossing his arms as he settles into the seat beside her. His gaze sweeps across the room, eyeing the "dream team" with disdain.

"And Grey called in whoever was available." Lopez adds. She places a cup in front of Lucy before stepping back to lean against the glass.

"What's-"

"Jack's special juice for Aunt Lulu." She shrugs. "No alcohol, but there's a special flask in my locker for later."

"I'm going to pretend I didn't hear that." Tim shakes his head.

"Wasn't meant for you anyway." She sends Lucy a wink. "Lucy will need it after tonight's shift."

"Why?" Lucy swivels in her seat, her full attention on Lopez.

"She's been asleep the whole day." Tim reasons, giving her shoulder a gentle squeeze. "She hasn't seen the news."

"What's going on-"
