I have been seriously waiting for this fic (when you mentioned you were writing post-Fault a while back) and this was as great as always.
I could completely see the side-of-mouth kiss and his hands not being on her at that point. One of the great things about the buddy!cops OTPs is that they know each other so well in every way but sexually, and I imagine that a real-life best friends to romance crossover would be very odd in that moment in spite of the inevitability of the pairing. You captured that perfectly.
OK, clearly I'm still post-Fat squee (which, haha). I'm going to be DLing the rest of this season, aren't I. There's no way I can wait for the seventh season to arrive here when all the awesomeness is packed into the end of the season. Mariska getting pregnant = best ever for shippers! :-)
