Based on the cryptic reading, she's confident her psychic is referring Haley, her ex girlfriend that she never got over. Her best friend, Tim, who has secretly been in love with her for longer than he could ever admit, selflessly agrees to help Lucy reconnect with Haley, knowing doing so will mean losing all hope of ever being with her, but he is sure she'll never love him back, anyways...or so he thinks. Title is lyrics from "The Subway" by Chappell Roan.

Here's the deal: Tim needs a date to a destination wedding, and his favorite bartender and friend, Lucy, desperately needs a vacation, so they strike a deal to spend a the long wedding weekend in Hawaiʻi together as friends. But the island sun, tropical nights, and a shared hotel room might make it impossible to keep things platonic for long.

Chenford oneshot from the rookie ABC

Lucy Chen literally stumbled upon the only person in Los Angeles that did not recognize her from her various infamous movie roles. As a bookstore owner and book lover, of course Tim Bradford was not a fan of movies nor did he know who starred in them, so when Lucy came into his store, he had no idea he was talking to one of the greatest actresses in the world. One chance meeting, akin to the ones in the movies, brought them together, but their story could be better than the kind shown on the silver screen. Title is the same name as a song by Taylor Swift.

She turned her head slightly to the left. Lucy opened her mouth to speak, but only silence followed. Paralyzed, her lips stayed sealed, but her eyes watched. Her breathing quickened, her chest rising faster and faster, a knot forming in her throat. Who was this man standing beside her bed? Who was this man who knew her name while she knew nothing of him? She studied him, thoroughly, head to toe. "Who... who are you?" she finally managed to say. "Lucy, it's me, Tim..."

When Lucy Chen's debut romance novel becomes an unexpected sensation, her publisher, Nyla, plans a high-profile book tour for her second release, which means facing fans and media eager to learn about the author's own love life. There's just one problem: Lucy doesn't have one. At Nyla's insistence, Lucy is paired with her editor, Tim Bradford, to pose as her boyfriend during the tour. Lucy and Tim can barely tolerate each other, but they're forced to act like a happy, in-love couple worthy of inspiring her popular books. Yet as staged smiles, scripted moments, and pretend affection start to feel all too real, Lucy and Tim begin to wonder: could their own story turn out to be the greatest plot twist of all?

Lucy, an artist battling a creative block, finds unexpected inspiration in Tim, a police officer she asks to model for her to capture not only his body but the intriguing person beneath. Tim may not like her candid observations about him and certainly is not even that comfortable posing for her paintings, but after a few sessions modeling for her, he finds he likes her, and while Lucy was only looking to create a series of paintings for a showcase, she uncovers a connection with him that might be too deep and beautiful to be confined by the edges of a canvas.

Tim and Lucy have fallen asleep next to each other and shared a bed a few times in their life. Yes, this is one bed slow burn Chenford.

Companion piece to "A Full Moon Curse". This is just smut that accompanies the AU. No plot, so you don't have to read this to keep reading the main story (which is rated T). If you're not reading "A Full Moon Curse" but want to read AU smut where Witch Lucy has sex with Tim, then go right ahead!

Lucy Chen is a witch burdened with a generational curse that prevents anyone loving her past the next full moon. To protect her heart from any more pain, she casts a spell on herself so that she can never fall in love again. Unfortunately, that heart binding spell proves to be no match for the feelings that Lucy starts to develop for Officer Tim Bradford. If only she wasn't cursed, she'd be thrilled by the way she's falling in love with him. Alternative Universe
