The boys are bad at sharing Lucy.

What if Tim and Ashley had broken up before he went undercover and Lucy wasn't happy with Chris? Chenford slow burn 🔥 This is the first time I've written a story but I'm planning to write more if this one goes well.

Detective Lucy Chen struggles with the scars of her past while starting a new chapter at the LAPD. When Tim Bradford slowly breaks through her walls, a slowburn romance unfolds amidst high-stakes cases, quiet moments of comfort, and unexpected vulnerability. A story of trauma, trust, and discovering the person who can truly heal your heart.

The Chen and Bradford families have been neighbors-and best friends-for as long as anyone can remember. Growing up side by side, Lucy and Tim have shared everything... except their feelings. From shared birthday parties and sneaky late-night chats to neighborhood adventures and family traditions, life next door is anything but ordinary. But when secret glances turn into something more, both of them have to navigate friendship, family, and the fine line between what's safe and what's irresistible. A story about love that starts at home, the secrets we keep, and the moments that change everything.

They were supposed to be partners. They were never supposed to fall. They meet as sergeants from opposite ends of the LAPD-two leaders, two reputations, and zero patience for each other. When an undercover operation requires them to pose as a couple, neither is thrilled. Tim Bradford thinks Lucy Chen is too soft; Lucy thinks Tim is all walls and no heart.

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 |

Lucy Chen thought she had it all figured out. The road to detective, a new rank, a clean slate. What she didn't plan for was being thrown back into the same rotation as Timothy Bradford. Tim. Her ex. Her once-training officer. And, unfortunately, her biggest distraction. Freshly broken up and still feeling the sting, Lucy was determined to keep things professional.. until the day Sergeant Grey promoted her to temporary training officer. Now she's on equal ground with Tim... and their rookies just happen to be best friends. The chances of two training officers secretly hooking up? Low. But never zero. Because in the LAPD, secrets don't stay buried for long-not when rookies are watching, blackmail is brewing, and one wrong move could destroy everything they've worked for. "Cops gossip more than middle schoolers," Tim muttered. Lucy smirked. "Then we'd better give them something to talk about." When the line between duty and desire starts to blur again, Lucy has to choose, follow the rules... or break them all for the man she swore she was done with. Guys if you saw this before this edit pls forgive me, I do NOT know who wrote 'uwu' on this and I promise it's not me. Swear, someone else messed it up

After an almost fatal crash, Tim Bradford starts dreaming about Lucy Chen - vivid, intimate moments that feel too real to forget. But as those dreams begin to echo in waking life, Tim realizes he's not just falling for her. He's remembering her. And some memories feel like warnings.
