A/N: This is set during season one and loosely follows the storyline of places they've already been to. This is just an introduction of sorts.
Lucy and Wyatt had traveled back in time enough to know that some periods required different cover stories. Anything after the 1960's or 70's they were usually able to pass as friends or coworkers. The 1920's to the 60's were a gamble depending on the situation, people typically assumed they were a couple and the time travelers just rolled with it. Anything earlier than the 1920's, and especially anything with corsets, they had only two options: man and wife or brother and sister. The few times they'd used the brother/sister cover story felt incredibly awkward and weird so they usually resorted to being married, which wasn't a hard sell given the two naturally gravitated towards the other. Lucy couldn't speak for Wyatt but she thoroughly enjoyed their fake marriages. She reveled at the feeling of his hand always in contact with some part of her body, almost as if had been second nature to him. Her skin tingled underneath wherever his hand landed. She had to fight to keep herself focused when he invaded her personal space and the air around her was filled with his intoxicating scent. During these few missions she got to learn what it was like to be Jessica Logan and god did Lucy envy her. Wyatt probably only showed her a fraction of the affection he had shown for Jessica but it was enough to know that Jessica was one lucky woman. Lucy quietly brooded the whole way back to the lifeboat after these sorts of missions, her game of make believe was over and she'd have to return back to her empty apartment. The time team objectively tried to limit their interactions with people in the past, just be there long enough to stop Flynn and try not to change anything, so the need to tell people their cover story wasn't often but Lucy still kept track.
Or the five times Lucy and Wyatt lied about being married and the one time they didn't.
