This will be a What If Rookie story, It will show what might've happened if Tam called Tim to help Lucy Disclaimer: I do not own The Rookie or any of the characters in this franchise!

She's my rookie. I can't have feelings for her. That's what I keep telling myself. But every day I ride with Lucy Chen is another day I fall for her. She's my ride or die. She always has my back. And I will never let anything happen to her. I'd die for her. But she can't know how I feel, nobody can. Falling For Lucy is my thesis on how and why Tim Bradford has been falling for Lucy Chen since the very beginning of the show. I, personally, believe the show writers did not do this on purpose, and the story has written itself. This is my detailed account of Tim Bradford's POV throughout The Rookie with some creative liberties taken to fill in the blanks. This is a super slow burn, just like the show. This book will always be 100% canon to the show. And yes, I am watching the show five seconds at a time giving you every detail of every second of Tim Bradford's experience. This is The Rookie: Tim's POV. So if that sounds interesting to you, you will enjoy this book. Also! Check out Lusting For Lucy for more mature bonus chapters, one-shots, and alternate timelines. I have the entirety of Dim & Juicy written over there, and it seems to be a fan favorite with an additional steamy alt ending. Enjoy!

Please be patient with me, I am still committed to this story, but like I have a regular life, a demanding dog, and a full time job too. _______________________ Check out my Spotify playlist that is paired with this book.

We're all anticipating what Episode 6 of Season 7 will be like, and how Chenford will interact with each other, so I've decided to write my own version of the episode, mostly chenford centred, as if I had creative control over the show (lol). It covers the work day before the gala, the gala itself, and the start of the following morning. Please let me know what you think in the comments. Enjoy!

This is what I imagine (want) to happen straight after season 6 ended (Aaron is still in the story despite him having confirmed he won't be in season 7), focus on Chenford, slow burn. The Oscar/Jason storyline is incorporated from season 6 but not Monica. Lucy sets out to prove herself again as a good cop after her disaster with the detective's exam. Will the awkwardness between Chenford be resolved? Or will it all come to a head? Disclaimer - I have stayed true to each character's mannerisms in the show, so if you're looking for a story where Tim calls Lucy his pookie princess and is overly gushy, you won't find that here. I have remained as realistic as I can with each character's actions, behaviours and words.

Lucy is a a new rookie and Tim Bradford who is her T.O. has the hots for her. How will Lucy navigate the dos and don'ts of policing when her T.O. can't keep his eyes to himself and she can't keep hers to herself?

Lucy joined the LAPD in hopes to find a way to escape her abuser. She meets her new TO who is hard on her. She tries to learn the ropes but when she keeps getting abused physically and sexually at home, it makes it hard for her to. She starts to lose her hope and struggles mentally after she was abducted. Her TO starts to see through her lies. Will she escape? How will her relationship with her TO change? What will happen to her abuser? ~This is similar to my story Help Me but Lucy doesn't have a kid in this one so I can make more things happen!~ *Trigger warning: rape, alcoholism, self harm, suicidal thoughts, abuse, and language* Disclaimer: I do not own The Rookie or any of the characters in this franchise! Except for Luke, he is my original character.

These aren't official things that happen, just ideas I've come up with. I love the rookie and we need minimum 10 seasons. I would like to apologise to the Lucy fans for putting her through *trauma* in a lot of this.
