Life is finally settling down. The cases are still chaotic. The schedules are still impossible. But somehow, between late-night takeout, quiet mornings, and stolen moments on the couch,Mr. Tim Bradford and Mrs.Lucy Chen have found their rhythm. For the first time in a long time, things are simple. Until one unexpected moment changes everything. As their world begins to shift in ways neither of them anticipated, Tim and Lucy find themselves navigating new fears, new hopes, and a future that suddenly feels much closer than they ever imagined. From dusk till dawn, through every challenge and every joy, some journeys are meant to be taken together. As they navigate uncertainty, difficult choices, and the reality of a life-changing possibility, Tim and Lucy are forced to ask themselves one question: 📌Are they ready to become parents? What happens when the next great adventure isn't a case... but a baby?

Based on the rookie TW: WILL CONTAIN SMUT! Lucy's spent four months telling herself it's enough. Chris is kind. He's steady. He's... fine. But fine doesn't keep her up at night wondering what she's missing. Fine doesn't explain why every time they're together she has to pretend - pretend she feels something she simply doesn't, pretend the disappointment isn't crushing her every single time, pretend size doesn't matter, that effort doesn't matter, that being left wanting every single time doesn't slowly hollow you out inside. It's not his fault, she tells herself. He's just... small. In every way that counts. And Lucy - quietly, achingly - is tired of settling. Tired of faking it. Tired of leaving every encounter feeling empty and unseen. Until the night she finally walks away. Until the night everything changes. Until the man she's loved longer than she's been willing to admit shows her exactly what she's been craving all along - passion, depth, intensity, and a connection so overwhelming it leaves her breathless and completely, utterly satisfied in a way she never even dared to imagine was possible. For the first time in her life, she doesn't have to pretend. She doesn't have to lie. She doesn't have to settle. But when morning brings more than just happy memories - when a sudden, terrifying realisation changes everything - Lucy is left wondering: was it worth it? Or has she ruined the best thing she's ever found, before it even truly began? (IF U CAME FROM MY ONESHOTS CONTINUE FROM THE CHAPTER NAMED ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS ASK)

When a witness protection mission turns into a deadly manhunt, Tim Bradford and Lucy Chen find themselves trapped in the mountains, hunted by a powerful criminal organization. As danger closes in, every choice could be their last-and the feelings they've buried for years become impossible to ignore. An action-packed Chenford slow burn filled with suspense, loyalty, hurt/comfort, and romance.

They said it was over. Not in a clean, mutual way-but in the kind of ending that still lingers in every silence, every glance, every moment they almost speak but don't. Lucy Chen and Tim Bradford haven't been the same since the breakup. Work is awkward. Conversations are shorter. Everything feels carefully controlled... like if they don't touch the past, it won't cut them again. Then the storm hits. A joint case forces them out of the city and into a small, rundown hotel with no power, no signal-and only one available room. One bed. Now they're stuck with the one thing they've been avoiding the most: each other. And somewhere between the silence, the memories, and the space they pretend doesn't matter... it gets harder to remember why they ended in the first place. Because some hearts don't stop loving just because they were told to stop.

When Tim pulls Lucy outside to play in the rain, an ordinary evening at home turns into laughter, dancing, and a memory they'll always share.
