In which Lucy and Tim go on a long-term undercover assignment...as a married couple...after their breakup. It goes as well as you'd expect. Post S6 finale Chenford fic. - "Why'd you volunteer, Tim?" Lucy asks quietly. It's the question that's been plaguing her for the past two days, ever since she saw his name on the list. There's a lot of things that Tim hates, but she's pretty sure undercover work might be at the forefront. Yet, he had volunteered to do a long-term op, posing as her husband. She knows he's trying to pay everything back to her-small doses, he had said. But... This is a lot. This isn't just some small dose. This is just about as big as a dose that anything could be. "Because," Tim starts heavily, "I'll always have your back. As long as you'll let me."

This story follows on from episode 11 of season 2. After realizing how close to Christmas the Day of the Dead was, I thought I'd write a story about Lucy's journey back to "normal". It won't be an easy journey, but she has people around her to help her...

Tim and Lucy are co-workers with respected partners, but one thing leads to another and Lucy needs Tim's help.

It all started at the new years eve party the station was hosting, Tim and Lucy were formerly dating but broke up a few months ago, they had a few awkward talks but we all know they still saw each other in the same way.

Working side by side has always been easy for Lucy Chen and Tim Bradford. Dealing with what's growing between them is not. Set during late Season 3 and early Season 4 of The Rookie, this slow-burn Chenford story follows quiet glances, dangerous calls, and moments that linger a little too long. As the line between partner and something more begins to blur, both are forced to face feelings they've been trying to ignore. Some connections can't stay hidden forever. And some moments change everything.

tim has a newborn baby in Lucy's rookie year. He's a single dad because Isabel ran away from the hospital as soon as his little boy was born. Lucy sees that he's tired a lot and seems to be struggling, he's good at hiding it around other people but Lucy sees right through him in her first week what will happen will Lucy find and help him?

After his soon-to-be ex-wife developed an addiction while working undercover as an LAPD detective, which led her to run away from home, Tim Bradford is stuck being a single dad to their 6-year-old daughter, Riley Bradford. To add spice to the mix, a few short weeks after Tim receives full custody, he gets hit with the next round of rookie graduates. Can Tim balance it all?

Tim and Lucy are in the same high school and everyone knows they like each other but they won't admit it. Lucy doesn't think Tim likes her I mean he's a hot football star player and Lucy?

He wasn't supposed to notice her. Not like this. Not in the way that makes his hands twitch and his mind spiral. Tim Bradford doesn't believe in love. He believes in control. Precision. Clean kills and quiet exits. But the night he walks into that bar and sees her-Lucy, all bright eyes and bruised past-something in him fractures. Something he can't put back. She's not his type. Too soft. Too curious. Too perfect to ruin... And too dangerous not to. But obsession has a pulse. And his is beating for her. As Lucy gets closer to the truth-and to him-lines blur between protector and predator, romance and ruin. And in the end, someone's blood will spill. Will it be hers? Or someone who gets in his way? - 18+|| ‼️

"She's just my rookie." and "He's just my Sergeant." Only if it were that simple there'd be no story to tell... Lucy Chen joined the LAPD to prove herself. What she didn't expect was to be paired with someone likeTim Bradford-her no-nonsense training officer whose bark is exactly as sharp as his bite. At first, their partnership is a clash of wills, but underneath the tension simmers something neither of them dares name. When Lucy's personal life implodes and Tim's fractured relationship pushes him past his limits, the two find themselves circling closer-caught between duty, desire, and the unspoken bond that grows with every shift. From patrol calls in Los Angeles to an undercover operation in Las Vegas, where they must pose as lovers in order to bring down a dangerous drug syndicate, Tim and Lucy's act becomes harder to separate from reality. Every touch, every glance, every kiss blurs the lines between cover and confession. But with enemies closing in, secrets threatening to surface, and their careers hanging in the balance, one thing becomes clear: the most dangerous risk they'll take may not be the job-it may be each other.
