Welp, this is the end of this fic, and I can already feel another stirring. In this, we see the repercussions of something Trixie said a few chapters back before everything was 'reset'. ;) Thank you to everyone who left comments along the way! I'm hoping I might see more now that it's done? Hint hint? Poke. Pokepokepokepokepoke... XD This has been my little love letter to everyone involved in the show, for everything they've done up to now. Just incredible work - thank you. Doubt they'll ever see this though. :) Enjoy!

When the elevator doors opened at the precinct, the cop standing outside stepped forward to enter.

And promptly stopped short.

Clearing his throat, he shuffled awkwardly, desperate to get in the elevator and back to his car, his home, his wife.

But he couldn't, because of the couple inside, wrapped around each other in a way that made him blush.

And he never blushed.

After a moment, the doors slowly closed.

But the lift didn't go anywhere.

Frowning, he stabbed the button again.

The doors reopened, and the couple inside finally burst apart when the woman opened her eyes and saw him.

There was a flurry of frantic straightening on her part, and a very self-satisfied swagger on the man's part, and the cop cleared his throat again much more loudly because he really wanted to get home and they were still in the way.

It was only his third nightshift on the job, but he was wrecked.

"Do you mind?" he said with a sigh.

"Detective?" the tall man said, gesturing grandly out the door with a soft smile.

She grinned up at him, and took his hand in her own as she pushed past the cop with an apologetic nod.

"Sorry."

And they pranced away, the man almost twirling her around him on their way down the stairs.

The cop smirked, and stepped inside the elevator.

"Noobs," he muttered, as the doors closed slowly before him.

At the base of the stairs, Chloe pulled from Lucifer's hand reluctantly, placing her own on his chest.

It was time for some ground rules.

"Now remember, we can't flirt in the open, and you have to try to be nice to Dan."

Lucifer nodded, his eyes scanning the precinct as he smiled. "It is good to be back."

Chloe smirked. "You actually listened to what I just said, yeah?"

His gaze darted to her mischievously. "We flirt heavily everywhere else, and I will afford Dan the same respect as I always have."

Chloe grimaced. "That's not the same thing."

"No, it isn't," he said, grinning.

Sighing, she released him, knowing she couldn't change his general Luciferness, and together they reunited with her desk.

With dizzying speed, Lucifer swept her up into his arms and sat her back gently on top of it, spilling some of the papers stacked behind her.

His gaze was wanting. "Is this considered open, Detective? There is a wall here."

"Lucifer. It's a glass wall. Stop it."

Then she kissed him quickly, because she couldn't help it, and pushed him away to stand again.

There was a cough behind them, and she smiled at the person standing there as Lucifer stepped aside.

"Hi, Dan."

"Detective Dan," Lucifer said with a cocky smirk.

Then he blinked.

"Lucifer," Dan answered shortly, before returning Chloe's smile as she stepped forward to give him a hug. "Good to see you back, Chlo."

"It's good to be back," Chloe said warmly.

"Detective Daaan," Lucifer said again, frowning.

His gaze darted to Chloe in alarm.

What? she mouthed at him.

Dan looked back at Lucifer, his mouth twisting. "Yeah? C'mon, get whatever shitty thing you've got to say out."

"I was trying to say," Lucifer said tersely, before smirking down at Dan again. "That you, Dan, are a very welcome sight."

Dan blinked.

Chloe gave a soft, "Awww."

As Lucifer's eyes grew very wide.

"What?" Dan and Lucifer said to each other.

Dan jerked away from him.

"NO, that is NOT what I meant to say!" Lucifer stammered, pulling at his collar as he fixed Dan with a angry glare, " I was going to say that YOU-"

Dan crossed his arms. "Here it comes."

"-are a good father to Trixie, a supportive ex-husband to Chloe, and a fine detective."

Dan's mouth fell open in shock.

Lucifer grabbed the man's shirt desperately, and thrust his face into Dan's. "AND IT'S A PLEASURE TO WORK WITH YOU AGAIN!"

Then he collapsed on the floor with a small noise of pain.

Chloe covered her mouth and tried not to laugh.

And Dan looked up and smiled, standing just a little bit taller.

"Thanks, man."
