I'm still recovering from episode 18 of season 8 of The Rookie, the season finale and a very traumatic cliffhanger. This story directly follows the events at the end of the episode and writing it will help me get over the trauma and wait for season 9.

AFTER THE BREAK UP Tim and Lucy are barley on speaking terms things are very awkward. Lucy has somethings going on and Tim wants to help. This is mainly a story based on Lucy and tim

There's an unspoken rule in the LAPD: if someone calls after 3 a.m., it better be life or death. So when Lucy Chen finds herself dialing Tim Bradford in the middle of the night after a nightmare, she expects silence - not for him to answer on the first ring. The call is short. Quiet. Safe. And it accidentally starts something they can't stop. What begins as a lifeline during sleepless nights becomes a ritual neither of them wants to break. Every call brings them closer - shared silences, confessions half-whispered into darkness, and feelings neither of them can admit under daylight. But when a dangerous call on duty nearly shatters everything, Tim and Lucy are forced to confront what's been growing between them - not with words mumbled through sleep, but with eyes open, hearts racing, and no more excuses. Because after so many calls at 3 a.m., they're both starting to realize... Maybe it was never just about the time. Maybe it's always been about each other. | I also post this on my AO3 account |

"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.

They swore it was just one night-then came the stolen glances, the secret smiles, the fall.Fresh out of the police academy, Lucy Chen is ambitious, sharp, and ready to prove she belongs on the streets of L.A. What she didn't expect? Being paired with the one training officer everyone warned her about: Officer Tim Bradford stone faced, cold-hearted, and impossible to impress.From day one, they clash. He's all rules and structure. She's instinct and heart. But under the tension is something else something neither of them want to name.Then one brutal shift, Lucy gets hit with a bad period and tries to tough it out. Instead of brushing her off, Tim sees right through her pain... and surprises her with quiet care.That moment should've meant nothing. A week later, they hook up. Once. They agree it was a mistake. But working twelve-hour shifts in a patrol car together makes forgetting impossible-and pretending they don't feel anything? Even harder. Lines blur. Walls break. And when feelings start to rise, so does the danger-on the streets... and between their hearts.
