With a trained police service dog named Draco always at her side, she steps into the Mid-Wilshire station carrying more than just a badge. Tim sees it instantly: her innocence, her fear, her strength. And without meaning to... he falls hard. But falling in love with your rookie is forbidden- especially when she might just become everything he needs to protect.

"WONDER IF YOU 𝐑𝐄𝐆𝐑𝐄𝐓 THE 𝐒𝐄𝐂𝐑𝐄𝐓 OF US?" As far as Ruby Kline is concerned, Steve Harrington doesn't exist, and according to him she's just a ditzy blonde who can't hold her tongue. But as they get caught up in fighting inter-dimensional monsters, their hatred for each other doesn't stand a chance-and neither do the secrets they're keeping. Because feelings are messy, but secrets are messier. [ STEVE HARRINGTON X OC, SEASONS 1-5 ]

Isabella Reyes is a fearless EMT who's seen it all, trauma, heartbreak, and everything in between, after a childhood spent bouncing through foster homes. She's tough, sarcastic, and has zero interest in letting anyone close... until a spilled beer at O'Malley's Bar leads to a scorching one-night stand with the LAPD's most intimidating training officer, Sergeant Tim Bradford. What starts as no-strings-attached fun quickly turns into something neither of them expected. They keep running into each other, on chaotic emergency scenes, at the bar with their crews, during late-night stakeouts, and every encounter fans the flames higher. Between life-or-death calls, steamy hookups, and moments of raw vulnerability, Isabella and Tim find themselves falling hard. But both carry scars: her from a past with no safety net, him from a failed marriage and years of walls built high. As danger on the job puts Isabella in harm's way more than once, Tim's protective instincts, and his growing love, get pushed to the limit.

This Story was Requested to me privately, it's based off the show the rookie. When seasoned UC Detective Alyssa Morgan transfers to Mid-Wilshire Division from Vice, she's met with a mix of curiosity and caution. Known for her ability to disappear into any role-whether high-stakes cartel infiltrations or deep dives into LA's darkest corners-Alyssa is as enigmatic as she is brilliant. But her arrival shakes up the station in more ways than one, especially for Tim Bradford, who finds himself intrigued by her guarded intensity and unexpected vulnerability. Working alongside Detective Angela Lopez and Sergeant Nyla Harper, Alyssa quickly proves she's more than capable, but her past cases and personal demons start bleeding into her new assignments. As Tim and Alyssa are forced to partner up on a string of high-risk investigations with ties to her former UC life, they must navigate danger, deception-and the undeniable chemistry building between them. But in a world where identities blur and trust is currency, can a hardened cop and a chameleon detective find something real? Or will the job tear them apart before it even begins?
