Paired by "experts". Bound together by an enormous leap. They both had their reasons. Hers were the right ones. His were the wrong ones. It's crazy, really. But it's only 8 weeks. Unless it actually works. In which case... could it be forever? OR Tim and Lucy get Married at First Sight Alternate Universe (AU) w/ incorporation of aspects of canon through S4. 18+ | Contains explicit content.

Even though Tim Bradford is the best player on the L.A. Kings, his team might not renew his contract for another season because he is single. Lucy Chen, a world famous pop star constantly scrutinized for her dating life, thought her secret fiancée was the one, which is what she told the media in her excitement for her upcoming private wedding...that was canceled last minute. Their friends come up with a plan- Lucy and Tim should pretend to get married to help each other out. The only problem: faking it as a couple just might lead to real feelings.

Angela Lopez and Tim Bradford are best friends and step siblings, but they could not be any more different. While Tim's only concern is soccer, Angela wants to enjoy herself during her senior year of high school off of the soccer pitch. The new transfer student, Wesley Evers, shows interest in her immediately, and she would love to explore their connection further, but her stepdad has strictly forbidden her from dating in high school...unless Tim dates, too. The problem: absolutely no one is interested in dating him due to his gruff and grumpy demeanor. All hope of Wes and Angela being together seems lost until a plan is hatched to get Tim to date the nicest girl in school that he has absolutely nothing in common with aside from laser focus on her own goals: Lucy Chen. Title shares the name with a song by Letters to Cleo. Loosely based on the movie "10 Things I Hate About You".
