So I know that the Kenzi/Tamsin pairing might seem weird to people since their relationship became very mother/daughter like in season 4, but I just binge watched the show and couldn't help but think about how awesome they would have been in season 3. It's probably because they're both snarky and sarcastic and bad ass. So here's my attempt at what I think could have been fun to see. Thievery and Doccubus will be the pairings in this story (even though I'm a hardcore Valkubus shipper in actuality). The timeline doesn't follow the show's timeline completely for the sake of storytelling, but it's right around the time that Tamsin shows up in season 3.

If you feel like it, let me know what you think and if I should continue or if there's anything that needs improving. I'm all about constructive criticism and everyone's opinions!


It was Friday night at the crack shack, which without fail meant that Bo and Kenzi were sitting around with mass amounts of wine, polishing weapons, and spending quality bestie time together. It had become a tradition of sorts between the roommates with the night usually ending with them either sprawled out on the couch watching movies or continuing their drinking at the Dal.

"So what's the plan for tonight, Succubabe?" Kenzi asked as she held Geraldine up to inspect her for blemishes. "Are we feeling lazy or social?"

Bo took a sip of wine and tossed the dagger she had been polishing onto the coffee table as she leaned back against the couch cushions. "I was thinking movies. Lauren is going to come over and join us."

Kenzi rolled her eyes knowing Bo couldn't see her in her reclined position. "Oh is she now?"

"Kenz…" Bo trailed off in warning.

Kenzi grabbed a dagger off of the table and hopped over the back of the furniture. "What?" She asked innocently as she hurled the dagger at the mannequin they had set up, hitting it directly in the area of the heart.

"Nice shot." Bo praised the human with a raised brow. "Apparently you being pissed off is the key to you actually being able to hit your mark."

Kenzi sighed and threw herself back onto the couch next to Bo. Sitting so she was facing the Succubus, Kenzi grabbed Bo's free hand between both of her own hands. "Bo-Bo, you know that I lurve me some Lauren, but we have all been so busy and I was kind of hoping for a chill night with you. Just you." She said pointedly.

Bo took another sip of wine before setting the glass down. "I know, and I'm sorry. I know we've been insanely busy and haven't gotten to spend much time together, but after the few weeks we've had and all of the shit hitting the fan, Lauren needed a night away to relax too."

"You mean you're still kissing her ass for having to find others to do the dirty with." Kenzi said flatly.

Bo grimaced. "Can we not talk about that? Like, ever."

Kenzi groaned and threw herself back against the arm of the couch. "I swear I've never known a vagina to cause such a shit storm."

"Hey!" Bo smacked Kenzi's leg in protest, a pout gracing her features.

"You're a Succubus. You need chi and sex and all that fun stuff to keep you alive. I've told you before that Lauren is human and wouldn't be enough." Kenzi flailed her arms dramatically. "Never mind. We're not getting into this. Team Bo, right? I'll just go grab my guitar so we can Kumbaya together."

"Hello?" Lauren called from the doorway, alerting the occupants to her arrival.

"Hey babe!" Bo called out over her shoulder. "Play nice." She gritted out through clenched teeth at Kenzi.

"Hiya, Doc. Hope you're ready for movie night!" Kenzi said with false enthusiasm as she stuck her tongue out at Bo.

"Real mature." Bo rolled her eyes and hopped off the couch to greet Lauren with a kiss.

"Oh boy. I don't know how much fun I'll be tonight. I've been researching all day and I'm completely wiped out. I'd go into detail, but I'm sure neither of you care about the specifics." Lauren made her point with a yawn.

"Well why don't I run you a bath and help you relieve some of the tension I'm sure you built up crouching over your microscope all day?" Bo's voice lowered seductively.

"That sounds amazing." Lauren moaned at the thought of a hot bath on her sore muscles.

"Ew." Kenzi whispered to herself and faked a gag.

"Rain check on movie night, Kenz?" Bo asked absentmindedly as her and Lauren were already half way upstairs.

"Yeah, no, you two go ahead." Kenzi called out to the couple. "I'll just be here. Single, sexy, and alone on a Friday night surrounded by pointy objects." She mumbled to herself as she looked at the mess around her.

With a heavy sigh, Kenzi picked up the bottle of wine and took a hefty swig. A loud moan traveled downstairs, making Kenzi immediately slam the bottle back onto the coffee table and stand up. Grabbing her jacket off of the counter, the goth practically ran out of the shack, barely making sure the door shut behind her.


Kenzi stomped into the Dal, a determined look on her face that made random fae immediately move out of her way. The Dal's regulars knew that even though Kenzi was human, the small Russian held her own with how feisty she was and none of them wanted to be on the receiving end of her spitfire.

Slamming both hands down on the bar, Kenzi leveled her eyes on the barkeep. "Trickster, you have 5 seconds to set a shot of your strongest liquor in front of me before I unleash the frenzy."

"Jesus." Trick muttered to himself but complied with the small human's demands.

Kenzi threw back the shot and kept her eyes closed as a smile made its way across her face. "Oh yeah. That's what mama needed." She sighed happily and sat down. "How's it going, Gramps?"

Trick rolled his eyes. "Same as always. Are you okay?"

"I'll be better after another shot… or 10." Kenzi batted her eyelashes at the Blood King.

Trick crossed his arms and gave Kenzi a hard stare. "Where's Bo?" He asked cautiously.

Kenzi's happy demeanor instantly disappeared. "Shot. Please." She begged by holding both of her hands out and giving Trick her best set of puppy dog eyes.

"Kenzi!"

"Lauren came over. Bobolicious went all sexalicious, leading me to this fine establishment so I didn't kill everyone's favorite Succubus." Kenzi explained, throwing her outstretched hands up in exasperation.

"Shot coming right up." Trick grimaced, not needing to hear about his granddaughter's sex life.

Kenzi turned around on her stool to survey the crowd, hoping to find Dyson or Hale hanging around. Not seeing either of them, Kenzi rolled her eyes when she made eye contact with a familiar face she could do without.

"Don't the Dark have their own bars to grace with their unwanted presence?" Kenzi asked Trick as she spun back around as he set a glass and a bottle in front of her.

"Dark and Light both frequent this bar without any problems. There is no discrimination here unless someone stirs up trouble. You know this." Trick explained.

"Who is stirring up trouble?" A voice asked dangerously close to Kenzi's ear, making the human jump.

"The only thing that will be stirring is my heel in your ass unless you back the hell up." Kenzi glared at Tamsin.

"The human makes threats. How cute." Tamsin scrunched her nose. "Does your owner know you're out roaming around without supervision?"

"I am not a pet." Kenzi growled, making a move to stand up to face the blonde.

Tamsin put a hand on Kenzi's shoulder and pushed her back down into her chair. "Sit your ass down before you hurt yourself." Tamsin turned to Trick with a smile. "Trick, may I please have two shots of something strong?"

"Wow, bottle blonde has manners? And here I was thinking you only spoke douche." Kenzi continued to glare at Tamsin who was still standing uncomfortably close.

Tamsin raised a brow at Kenzi. "Really? That's the best insult you could come up with? I thought you were supposed to be spunky or something."

Kenzi narrowed her eyes at the Valkyrie. "You better back up out of my space before I show you just how spunky I can be."

Tamsin smirked as she grabbed the shot glasses Trick set down. Placing one in Kenzi's hand, she leaned in so that her lips were almost on the Russian's ear and clinked their shot glasses together. "Cheers." She whispered huskily before walking away without a backwards glance.

Kenzi, stunned by the blonde's actions, watched as Tamsin sauntered back to the pool tables. Realizing her mouth was hanging open, she downed her shot and turned to face Trick. "What the fae just happened?"

"I have no idea." Trick admitted, just as confused as the human.

Kenzi shook her head to clear her thoughts and sipped on the drink in front of her. After a few moments, she subtly turned her head to look in the direction she last saw Tamsin. The human slightly jumped when she realized that the detective was staring at her, and Kenzi's eyes widened comically when Tamsin smirked and winked at her.

Quickly turning around, Kenzi finished her drink. "What in the actual fuck?" She hissed to herself and pulled out her phone to text Dyson and Hale asking them to meet her at the bar.

Dyson: Sorry, K-Star. I'm out of town.

Hale: I would, Lil Mama, but I'm on a date with a sexy nymph.

"Lame and eww." Kenzi muttered to herself and tossed her phone on the bar. Sighing deeply and absentmindedly rubbing the rash on her arm, she then put her head in her palm and drummed her other fingers on the bar top.

"Yes! Pay up, sucker." Tamsin's voice rang out across the bar.

Turning around to look at the Valkyrie, Kenzi watched as a guy handed over a $20 with a defeated look on his face.

"I wish she would stop hustling all of my customers." Trick huffed as he looked to where Kenzi was watching.

A thoughtful look crossed the human's face before she smirked. "Two more shots please, Trickster."

"I am not driving you home." Trick responded with a warning look.

"I got this." Kenzi promised. Hopping of the stool and grabbing the shots that Trick hesitantly sat down, she made her way over to the pool tables. "Hustling all these poor, horny men out of their money? Quite the ego killer for all the guys trying to get your attention." She raised an eyebrow at Tamsin.

Tamsin looked around before giving Kenzi a quizzical look. "You talking to me, short stack?"

"Do you see anyone else around, bitch?" Kenzi smirked and handed Tamsin a shot. "Let's play. What's the bet?"

"You want to play me?" Tamsin scoffed. "Thanks for the shot, but I think I'll find someone who can actually challenge me." She took the shot and set the empty glass on the table next to her.

Kenzi continued to smirk as she took her shot and set her glass down next to Tamsin's. "$50 and a bottle of Trick's finest." She crossed her arms and leaned against the table with a challenging look at the blonde.

Tamsin appraised the tiny goth. "Do you even know how to shoot pool?"

"Why don't you rack 'em and find out. Unless you're afraid of losing."

Tamsin matched Kenzi's smirk with one of her own. "Alright, midget. You're on." She stuck her hand out to shake on the bet. When Kenzi's hand met her own, the blonde yanked her close. "But I'm not racking shit." She said in Kenzi's ear.

Kenzi jerked her hand back and rubbed her ear. "If we're going to actually be semi-civil to each other, you need to stop with the creepy whispering in my ear thing."

"We'll see." Tamsin chuckled.

"Oh my God! It laughs?" Kenzi put a hand to her heart in mock surprise. "I must be in some alternate universe." She shook her head with a genuine smile as she racked the balls. "Game on, Valkyrie." She said as she stood back for Tamsin to break.

15 minutes later, Tamsin grinned as she made another shot. Inspecting the table, she turned to Kenzi with a look of victory already on her face. "Look, we both know how this is going to end. I'm giving you one chance to back out of this bet so that you don't have to spend all of you hard earned money paying up."

Kenzi pouted. "But I never give up. I'll see the bet through, but then you and I are going to have a little chat."

"I don't 'chat', honey." Tamsin scrunched her nose at the thought.

"Whatever." Kenzi rolled her eyes. "Just shoot."

Tamsin lined up for her shot and missed. "Damn it." She mumbled to herself. "Guess you have one last chance to try to redeem yourself before I end this."

Kenzi just smiled as she looked at the table. Tamsin only had one ball left and she had five balls left, besides both of them still having the eight ball. Putting on a show of preparing herself, Kenzi did some ridiculous stretches including ridiculous noises to go along with it.

Tamsin watched the human in amusement before her patience ran out. "For the love of fuck!" Tamsin practically shouted. "I'll die and be reborn by the time you just accept your defeat."

Kenzi scowled at the blonde before she lined up her shot. Not even five minutes later, the dark haired girl stood up straight with a shit-eating grin while Tamsin only stared in shock. Walking over to the Valkyrie, Kenzi held out her hand. "Pay up, sucker." She winked, using Tamsin's earlier words against her.

"But… I don't… How?!" Tamsin sputtered in disbelief.

"Let this be your lesson to never con a con." Kenzi shook her hand that was still outstretched. "Come on. Don't be a sore loser."

Tamsin narrowed her eyes and studied Kenzi before she broke out into a genuine smile. "Well well. No one has ever hustled me quite that well." She reached into her pocket and pulled out $50. "Things like that I can appreciate."

Kenzi snatched the money out of Tamsin's hand with a greedy smile. Putting the money in her bra, she did a dramatic bow. "You are oh so welcome."

Tamsin rolled her eyes with a little shake of her head. "Any respect, emphasis on any, that you earned has now taken a nose dive off of a high rise." Looking around for her next victim, she straightened her jacket. "Now if you'll excuse me, I need to find a way to win back my earnings for the night."

"I have a better idea." Kenzi snapped her fingers in the blonde's face to get her attention.

Before Kenzi could even blink, Tamsin had grabbed her hand and leveled a death glare at the human. "Do that again and lose your sanity." The Valkyrie threatened with a growl. "Let me make myself a little more clear. You're dismissed. Bye now." She shoved Kenzi's hand back hard enough to make the smaller girl stumble.

"Wow. The bitch is back." Kenzi rubbed her hand with a frown. "You owe me a bottle." Turning on her heel, she stomped her way back to the bar.

Tamsin watched as the dark haired girl sat down heavily on one of the barstools and crossed her arms on the bar, setting her head down on them and staring blankly ahead of her. Feeling a pang of guilt, Tamsin sighed, not sure where the feeling was coming from or why she even remotely cared.

"You want to play?" A good looking guy sidled up next to the blonde and blatantly checked her out.

"Dream on, loser." Tamsin gave him a harder than necessary pat on the chest and determinedly made her way to the bar.

"So what's this idea of yours?" Tamsin questioned as she sat down on the barstool next to the brunette. "Are we betting the same thing?" She flagged Trick to get his attention and waved him over.

Kenzi looked over with a confused look. "Are you bi-polar?" She scoffed. "Can fae even be bi-polar?" She mused as an afterthought.

"Ladies." Trick looked between the fae and human suspiciously.

"We're going to need a bottle of your finest." The Valkyrie stated matter-of-factly.

"I'm not exactly sure you could afford a bottle of my finest. May I interest you in a bottle of our well liquor?" Trick glared at Tamsin.

"I'm not cheap, but thank you for your concern." Tamsin raised a brow at the barkeep. "I owe the lady here a bottle," She nodded toward Kenzi, "And I intend to pay up." Trick looked less than pleased as he walked away. "He really doesn't like me, does he?" She chuckled to herself.

"No shit, Sherlock." Kenzi huffed. "Do I need to make a list of all the reasons we don't like you, or are you smarter than your hair color might suggest?"

"Okay, let's cut the shit." Tamsin sighed as she turned to face Kenzi. "You people don't like me, and believe me that the feeling is mutual, so how about we just call it even. All I know is I don't have any friends, yours left you all alone, and we're both here looking to get drunk. So how about we hang it up for a couple hours and try to be civil."

Kenzi studied the blonde for a moment. "How high are you right now?" When Tamsin opened her mouth to say something, Kenzi held a hand up to stop her. "I'm sorry. You're right."

"I know." Tamsin muttered to herself under her breath.

"I expect legal payment for this." Trick said harshly as he set a bottle down in front of the blonde.

"You'll get paid, barkeep." Tamsin rolled her eyes as Trick went to attend to other customers.

"You want to earn your money back?" Kenzi inquired. "Shot for shot. First one to throw up, pass out, or give up loses."

"Are you fucking kidding me?" Tamsin looked at Kenzi as if she had grown a second head. "I'm a Valkyrie."

"And I'm Russian." Kenzi smiled as she leaned over the bar to grab two shot glasses.

"You win this, and I'll actually respect you." Tamsin reached for the bottle and poured two shots and handed one to Kenzi. Holding her glass up, Tamsin's mouth curled into a smirk. "Show me what you got, human."

"May the best species win." Kenzi tapped her shot glass against Tamsin's before she threw back the shot. "So why are you here and not at some Dark bar? Isn't this a little too tame for you?" She wondered as she poured the next round. "I figured you only came here because of Dyson."

"You know that making assumptions usually gets you nowhere, right?" Tamsin shot back.

"Says the detective whose entire career is based on assumptions." Kenzi pointed out with a skeptical look.

"Detective work is a lot more than assumptions, sweetheart. What you and your owner do, on the other hand…" Tamsin trailed off.

"Let's settle one thing right now." Kenzi snapped as she pointed at the shots and the women took them. "I am no one's pet. Yes, I am human. Yes, Bo claimed me for my own safety in this fucked up fae world. But I will never, ever, be 'owned' by anyone. One more pet joke out of you and I will find a way to destroy you."

Tamsin studied the Russian for a moment and then shrugged. "Okay."

"Okay." Kenzi agreed slowly, expecting the Valkyrie to blow up.

"So why aren't you with the Succubus tonight?" Tamsin asked.

"What's your problem with Bo?" Kenzi countered.

"Beside the fact that she's a pain in my ass? One of my men is lying in a coma because of her." Tamsin poured another round.

Taking the shots, Kenzi was momentarily distracted. "This shit is good. Like really good."

"It really is." Tamsin laughed in agreement, smiling at the younger woman.

"Look." Kenzi sighed. "Bo has been feeding clean for a long time. She hasn't slipped up. She's my best friend, Tamsin. If she messed up somewhere along the way she would have told me."

"I don't know either of you well enough to believe you. So I'll continue to follow my 'assumptions'" Tamsin used air quotes, "until I can rule it out myself."

Kenzi groaned. "You could potentially be so cool if you weren't on such a witch hunt."

Tamsin rolled her eyes but had a small smile. "I am cool."

"Right now, you're not so bad, Tam-Tam." Kenzi returned the smile and nudged the Dark fae with her shoulder.

Tamsin's smile instantly dropped. "Dude. No."

"Dude. Get over it." Kenzi mocked her. "And you're slacking on this shot thing." She pointed to the empty shot glasses.

"How are you still sober?" Tamsin scrunched her nose at the human.

"I told you, I'm Russian." Kenzi smiled proudly.

"Give it another 10 minutes." Tamsin smirked.

"I'm not losing." Kenzi said, determination replacing her pride.

"Neither am I." Tamsin pointed out.

"Then we shall continue with this little game and see where the night takes us." Kenzi laughed as her phone began to ring on the bar top, slightly startling the women. Glancing at the caller ID, Kenzi scoffed and ignored the device, pouring their next round instead.

"Trouble in paradise?" Tamsin asked innocently as she noticed Bo's name on the screen.

Kenzi narrowed her eyes. "Everything is just peachy."

"You're jealous of the Succuslut and the doc." Tamsin stated with an amused look on her face.

"Of all of the ridiculous shit I have heard come out of your mouth that definitely takes the cake." Kenzi laughed. "There is no jealousy."

"Are you trying to convince me, or yourself?"

Kenzi let out a frustrated noise. "I just hate how she always ditches me for Lauren! It sucks." She pouted, rubbing her rash again.

Tamsin handed Kenzi a shot. "Look at it this way; if Bo hadn't ditched you tonight you wouldn't be able to see what fun really is." She gave the girl a cocky smirk.

"Yes, because this is so much fun." Kenzi stopped and stared at Tamsin. "That cocky smirk you're always sporting is kind of sexy." Tamsin's eyebrows shot up while Kenzi's eyes widened. "Holy shitballs." Kenzi whispered and immediately turned to look at the bottle. "What the crap is in this shit?"

"And I think this little game is over." Tamsin moved Kenzi's shot glass away from her.

"Oh hell no." Kenzi leaned forward in her chair to snatch the glass Tamsin had moved. Taking the shot that the blonde had poured, Kenzi glanced at the Valkyrie out of the corner of her eye. "Unless you're willing to give up and lose for a second time tonight." She leaned in close. "Be my guest." She whispered seductively.

Tamsin swallowed hard and couldn't help but gape at the small human next to her who was wearing a knowing grin. The shivers that had run down her spine at Kenzi's tone shocked her, having an effect she wasn't aware possible. Clearing her throat, Tamsin rubbed her suddenly sweaty palms on her jeans. "Quitting isn't really my thing." She said in a snarky tone.

Kenzi's grin widened. "I didn't think so."


Back at the crack shack, Bo and Lauren were curled up in bed, fast asleep. The couple was woken up by Bo's phone going off, the noise piercing through the silence. Bo groaned as she woke up and Lauren put a pillow over her own head to block out the noise.

Reaching over Lauren, Bo groped blindly onto the nightstand for her phone. "Hello?" She rasped out once she found the device, her voice heavy with sleep.

"Bo, you need to come to the Dal right away." Trick said immediately, the urgency apparent in his tone.

"Is it important? I'm sleeping, Trick." Bo whined.

"Yo Trickster! We want another bottle!" Kenzi's voice rang out in the background. "Now!"

"Bo, please." Trick begged. "I can't control them anymore."

"Hey barkeep! You heard the lady!" Tamsin called out.

Bo shot up in surprise. "Was that-"

"Hurry!" Trick hissed and hung up.

Bo stared at her phone in confusion for a moment. "Shit." She sighed and made a move to get out of bed.

"Bo? What's wrong?" Lauren sleepily asked as she watched Bo stumble around getting dressed. "Where are you going? It's…" She glanced at the clock. "Oh, it's only midnight."

"Kenzi is drunk at the Dal." Bo said absentmindedly as she wiggled into her pants.

"That's nothing new." Lauren rolled her eyes.

"With Tamsin." Bo spat.

"What?" Lauren's eyes widened. "Do you need me to come with you?"

Bo leaned down to press a chaste kiss to the doctor's lips. "I got this. You stay here and sleep. I won't be long."


"And then I had to act like a stuck-up sorority bitch." Kenzi laughed hysterically, almost falling off of her barstool. Tamsin threw her arm around the other girl to keep her steady. "I have to say though, those girls could throw down."

The drunker the pair had gotten, the more comfortable they had gotten with each other. Between Kenzi telling stories of previous cases she and Bo had taken, Tamsin telling tales of her past, and both of them hitting on every decent looking person in the bar, the two were causing quite the ruckus at the Dal. Trick stepped in only when Kenzi made an attempt to dance on the bar and had then decided that the two had had enough.

Tamsin laughed. "I would kill to see you prancing around in pink. I think pink suits you."

Kenzi reached up to smack the arm that was around her shoulders and then leaned into Tamsin. "I hate pink." She grumbled, making the Valkyrie laugh louder. Kenzi turned her head so that she could look up at the blonde. "You should laugh more. You have a nice laugh." She said softly

"What the hell is going on here?" Bo scoffed as she walked up behind the two women.

"Hello there, Succubitch." Tamsin drawled as she removed her arm from around Kenzi and turned to face the newcomer.

"Bo-Bo!" Kenzi's face lit up at the sight of her best friend. Turning to fully face the Succubus, Kenzi had to put her hand on Tamsin's leg to steady herself. "Come to join the party?"

"Uh, no, I'm here to take you home." Bo answered Kenzi, her eyes on Kenzi's hand that was resting on the Valkyrie's thigh.

Kenzi pouted. "I don't want to go home. Tam-Tam and I are about to get another bottle."

"Tam-Tam?" Bo furrowed her brows as she whispered to herself. Sighing, she looked wearily between the two. "No more alcohol."

"You're not her owner." Tamsin raised a challenging eyebrow and gave Bo a cocky grin.

"Technically-"

"Finish that sentence and I will kill you with your favorite dagger while you sleep." Kenzi pointed at Bo with an angry glare before she turned to smack Tamsin. "You're an ass." She accused.

"What's that? You like my ass?" Tamsin teased.

"Kenzi!" Bo yelled. "Let's go!"

Kenzi growled and hopped off the barstool. Turning to Tamsin, she gave the detective a devious smile. "Maybe I do." She winked and sashayed to the exit of the bar.

Tamsin laughed loudly, watching the way the human swung her hips as she walked away, earning a furious look from Bo. The brunette walked up to the blonde and got in her face. Tamsin's smile vanished instantly, her eyes narrowing at Bo. "May I help you?"

"Stay away from us, or so help me God…" Bo shoved Tamsin roughly and turned to follow Kenzi.

"Well tonight was interesting." Tamsin chuckled to herself.

"Get out." Trick said from behind the bar after witnessing the scene between the women.

Tamsin rolled her eyes and threw down more than enough money to cover her tab. "Catch you later, Trick." She smiled to herself as she straightened her jacket and left.
