I am always dying for pre-canon fanfic of the two of them, I can just imagine them butting heads and it is so delightful knowing what follows later.
My headcanon is that the incident during the gang arrests in Ep 1 is really one of the first times that MSF and TY interact in person, alone, outside of a structured police interview setting, court setting, or even arrest - that MSF has been watching and tailing and investigating TY forever through official channels (and not always with a clear basis, hence the lawsuits) but is getting more and more frustrated and reckless at his own lack of progress, which makes him careless enough to run in to an armed gang standoff without a warrant and then run out after TY alone leaving the rest of his team behind to arrest all the gangs. That their tension with each other in those early scenes is part and parcel of it not being a common interaction for them yet. That Tang Yi for the previous year allowing himself to develop a regular routine for MSF to follow (as mentioned outside the suit shop in Ep 1) so he could start using the police to catch his own enemies (as deduced by MSF in Ep 1) was a stroke of genius finally brought about by Tang Yi's grief & anger starting to abate enough after 3 years that he could think more rationally through year 4. And also, a strategy entirely possibly proposed or encouraged by Jack, who joined the gang at about the same time if I'm not mistaken (a year before canon starts? IDK where I got that. It might be fanon and I might be wrong). Maybe I just need to write some pre-canon stuff and get it out of my head lol
THIS WAS MEANT TO BE A QUICK POST THAT SAID: WHERE IS MY ANDY SPINOFF SHOW but it kind of spiralled.
