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

Tim Bradford's life runs on structure. Former soldier, career cop, newly promoted Watch Commander-his days are measured in responsibility and routine. Lucy Chen is building a life of her own. As a social worker, she helps people navigate systems that weren't made to be kind, finding patience, humour, and quiet strength along the way. A blind date arranged by their mutual friend Angela Lopez brings them together. Neither expects more than one drink. They both decide one drink isn't enough. Over the course of a year, they let something unfamiliar take shape-dates that turn into habits, conversations that linger, and a relationship built deliberately, without rush. This is the story of two people from different worlds making room for something new-together. --- Feedback is appreciated.

What if? After their fight in 5X05 Chenford didn't make up? Tim went to fight his battles alone, and Lucy accepted a position in the SFPD as a homicide and robbery detective. And then, when shit goes down, they can't find how to reach each other. Time flies, until five years later, when they meet again. (and Tim makes a life changing discovery) Warning: don't read if you don't like heavy hurt/comfort, pregnancy

When grumpy ex-cop Tim Bradford moves to a quiet little town to start over, he's only looking for peace and maybe a distraction. He definitely wasn't expecting Lucy Chen-the overly cheerful bartender with a sharp tongue, soft heart, and the power to wreck his carefully guarded walls. What begins with banter turns into undeniable chemistry. But love in a small town isn't always simple-especially with baggage, breakups, heartbreak, healing... and unexpected baby news. From flirty bar nights to surprise proposals, steamy moments, and building a life together (literally), this is a story about second chances, found family, and love that refuses to give up.

Melissa O'Neil swore she'd never understand Eric Winter. Somehow, he managed to be both the most infuriating and magnetic person in the room, usually at the same time. He was always late to cast hangouts, always smirking when she complained about it, and always managing to end up right beside her for the rest of the night. It drove her crazy. Worse, everyone else thought it was funny. What they didn't see was how her pulse ticked faster when he leaned in too close, or how his stupid grin lingered inside her mind long after he dropped her home. She told herself she didn't care. She couldn't care. But lately, Melissa wondered if maybe she minded his absence more than his presence. And when Eric finally failed to show up one night, she realized just how much space he actually took up in her world.

On The Rookie set, Eric Winter had made it his personal mission to drive Melissa O'Neil insane. Harmless pranks, inside jokes, misplaced coffee cups. He called it "team bonding." She called it "grounds for murder." To everyone else, it was obvious: the tension between them wasn't just irritation. It was chemistry, loud enough to make their castmates roll their eyes. So when their friends secretly set them up on a blind date, without telling either one, they figured it would end in disaster. But sometimes, disaster looks a lot like fate.

They were friends. Solid, steady, no-lines-crossed kind of friends. Long days on set, inside jokes, casual touches that never meant anything... until they did. Eric had always kept it light, convinced himself that what he felt wasn't real, that Melissa deserved better than messy timing or unspoken feelings. Then came that kiss. Not his. Not with him. He hadn't meant to care. But he did. More than he should. Suddenly, the space between them didn't feel so safe anymore. It felt charged. Loud. Unavoidable. And maybe it wasn't the kiss that changed everything, maybe it was the way it made him realize he was done pretending. Done being the friend who waited on the sidelines. So he knocked on her door. And this time, he wasn't walking away without telling her the truth. Because what they had? It was never just friendship. Not really.

The mid Wilshire family trades badges for boarding passes when Grey and Luna surprise the group with a three-week escape to Paris. No patrol cars, no paperwork-just cobblestone streets, late-night cafés, and the kind of adventures only the City of Light can bring. But while the trip promises rest and laughter, it also stirs up something unexpected. Friendships feel a little different, glances linger a little longer, and two familiar faces may be falling into something they never saw coming. Of course, Nyla and Angela can't resist putting their detective instincts to work-this time not to solve a case, but to uncover the truth about feelings that can't stay hidden forever. Love, laughter, and a once-in-a-lifetime getaway... all unfolding Under the Paris Sky. 🌙🇫🇷✨❤️🥐🥖 (I don't own most of the characters in this they belong to ABC and lionsgate)
