Lucy Chen thought she had it all figured out. The road to detective, a new rank, a clean slate. What she didn't plan for was being thrown back into the same rotation as Timothy Bradford. Tim. Her ex. Her once-training officer. And, unfortunately, her biggest distraction. Freshly broken up and still feeling the sting, Lucy was determined to keep things professional.. until the day Sergeant Grey promoted her to temporary training officer. Now she's on equal ground with Tim... and their rookies just happen to be best friends. The chances of two training officers secretly hooking up? Low. But never zero. Because in the LAPD, secrets don't stay buried for long-not when rookies are watching, blackmail is brewing, and one wrong move could destroy everything they've worked for. "Cops gossip more than middle schoolers," Tim muttered. Lucy smirked. "Then we'd better give them something to talk about." When the line between duty and desire starts to blur again, Lucy has to choose, follow the rules... or break them all for the man she swore she was done with. Guys if you saw this before this edit pls forgive me, I do NOT know who wrote 'uwu' on this and I promise it's not me. Swear, someone else messed it up

Tim and Lucy have a fight. Before they have a chance to resolve it, Lucy is swept into a hostage situation. This story is full of angst and shows a very vulnerable Tim Bradford. Hope you enjoy! This is canon-compliant until 5x19, but it's really a stand-alone #chenford fanfic.

There's an unspoken rule in the LAPD: if someone calls after 3 a.m., it better be life or death. So when Lucy Chen finds herself dialing Tim Bradford in the middle of the night after a nightmare, she expects silence - not for him to answer on the first ring. The call is short. Quiet. Safe. And it accidentally starts something they can't stop. What begins as a lifeline during sleepless nights becomes a ritual neither of them wants to break. Every call brings them closer - shared silences, confessions half-whispered into darkness, and feelings neither of them can admit under daylight. But when a dangerous call on duty nearly shatters everything, Tim and Lucy are forced to confront what's been growing between them - not with words mumbled through sleep, but with eyes open, hearts racing, and no more excuses. Because after so many calls at 3 a.m., they're both starting to realize... Maybe it was never just about the time. Maybe it's always been about each other. | I also post this on my AO3 account |

Lucy and Tim... They used to be the happiest couple you could ever imagine. No one was ever more in love than they were. But then Lucy followed her dream. She went undercover. It wasn't for long-just four months. But Tim took it hard. He was scared for her. He loved her. And yet... he still did what he did. He cheated. Even with all that love in his heart-he betrayed her. He was drunk. And there's not a single minute he doesn't regret it. Lucy didn't hear it from him. She found out from her. The woman. Lucy left the operation early. She was heartbroken. And their love... just couldn't survive it. They broke up. And Lucy? She found comfort in Chris's arms. He was there for her. Support. Safety. A friend. She tried to forget Tim. And she got back together with Chris. But she doesn't love him. She never will. Because in her heart-there's only one man. Tim. Always has been. Always will be. And Tim? He's falling apart. Especially when Chris shows up to pick her up. He wants to punch him. Every time. But he can't. Because this... is all his fault. And no-being drunk isn't an excuse. ⸻ L: Lucy T: Tim A: Angela C: Celina N: Nyla Jo: John G: Grey Ch: Chris (Aaron, Zoe, and Jackson are not part of this story. Tamara-maybe.)

My take on a blossoming relationship between Chenford. And, Tamara's in there, too :) *The original characters don't belong to me. The ones that I create are of my ownership.* **NOT ALL EVENTS IN THIS STORY WILL BE THE SAME AS WHAT MIGHT HAVE ALREADY HAPPENED ON THE SHOW.** ***Any copying of my work will be reported unless written permission is given, by me, to whomever is looking for it.***

What if Tim and Ashley had broken up before he went undercover and Lucy wasn't happy with Chris? Chenford slow burn 🔥 This is the first time I've written a story but I'm planning to write more if this one goes well.

Lucy, Wesley and James are all kidnapped together, as an attempt at revenge against Tim, Angela and Nyla, due to an arrest they were all part of, back in the day. Will they be able to keep themselves alive long enough for their partners (or ex-partner in Lucy's case) to find them? This is set in season 7 of The Rookie; Tim and Lucy are still broken up, and all of the other relationships are the same as they were at the end of Season 6.

Lucy is a a new rookie and Tim Bradford who is her T.O. has the hots for her. How will Lucy navigate the dos and don'ts of policing when her T.O. can't keep his eyes to himself and she can't keep hers to herself?

A Chenford 'what if' story based on 5×1 of the show 'The Rookie' NOT MY CHARACTERS !!! ⚠️TRIGGER WARNINGS⚠️ Self-harm, Eating Disorder, Panic Attacks, Guns, Kidnapping, Suicide

What if Angela and Tim were partners at work. Lucy was an undercover detective in North Hollywood and she just happens to be Angela's BFF.. When the North Hollywood and Mid-Wilsher divisions collide for a case. What will happen?

These aren't official things that happen, just ideas I've come up with. I love the rookie and we need minimum 10 seasons. I would like to apologise to the Lucy fans for putting her through *trauma* in a lot of this.

Lucy Chen is off to undercover school and Tim misses her more than he wants to admit. He knows he said they should be apart but one little text wouldn't hurt, right? Canon through 5x02 but then I just start making things up.

Tim and Lucy meet when Lucy is in highschool. Tim is a cop that has been in the game for a few years. What will happen?

This story is based on the events of 5x20, where Isobel momentarily returns to carry out a UC task with Lucy's help. I have changed up the events a bit, and played on Lucy's jealousy towards Isobel, and her interactions with Tim. Lucy is not willing to be second best, and makes that abundantly clear. How will Tim deal with this? Includes some Nyla x Lucy bestie moments, as I feel we didn't get nearly enough of that in Season 5 or 6.

"I'm sorry, I didn't even know-" Tim attempted to tell her, hurriedly and panicked. Lucy silenced him with a finger on his lips, "You know I'm here for you, and him. Always." After Tim and Isabel's divorce, they went no contact. She'd gone to rehab, he'd become a Sergeant. What happens when a 7 year old catalyst comes into play? How does this fair for Lucy and her relationship with Tim?

This story is based on, if the LAPD went on a road trip vacation after the Chenford breakup and they were figuring out their relationship. Everyone in this story is who is currently in season 6/7 of The Rookie. Aaron Thorsen isn't as he transferred stations, and Tamara Collins isn't coming because she's in College and isn't apart of the LAPD job. Although they do appear from texts or calls. Credits to the writers, directors and everybody like that who produce 'The Rookie'. This story is based for 13-18 years of age. No graphic scenes.

We're all anticipating what Episode 6 of Season 7 will be like, and how Chenford will interact with each other, so I've decided to write my own version of the episode, mostly chenford centred, as if I had creative control over the show (lol). It covers the work day before the gala, the gala itself, and the start of the following morning. Please let me know what you think in the comments. Enjoy!

What if Tim and Lucy met before they worked together?? Would their relationship/partnership/TO and boot-ship change a lot?
