After their third first date

In high school, Tim Bradford had it all-looks, popularity, and a cruel streak. When he makes a bet to seduce quiet, guarded Lucy Chen, he never expects her to resist his charm-or to crack open something real inside him. But just when he finally falls for her, she overhears the truth: it was all a game. Broken and betrayed, Lucy walks away just weeks before graduation, leaving Tim with nothing but guilt and the memory of the girl he destroyed. Years later, Tim is a football superstar. Lucy is an LAPD sergeant. They never expected to see each other again-until a robbery, a badge, and a name bring everything rushing back. Now, with past wounds still bleeding and emotions running high, Tim is determined to win back the only girl he ever truly loved. But some scars don't fade.

Tim wakes up early while Lucy is still sleeping but then hears a knock at the door. He looks through the peep hole to see chris. Drunk. Why is he here? What does he want? And lastly, how will Tim handle this? Guys, this is my first time writing on this app, so please bare with me. Also, I own none of these characters, just the storyline. All characters belong to The Rookie and ABC. By the way, the cover doesn't belong to me. I got it off the internet, but I did not make the art. Enjoy!

After a hard day's work, the gang(Lucy, Tim, Angela, Wesley, Nyla, James, Nolan, Bailey, Celina, Aaron, Luna, and Grey) go out to a bar. Tim and Lucy are not dating, but they do have feelings for each other. Will this night out ignite a spark and finally push them together? None of the characters are mine, only the plot. All rights belong to The Rookie and ABC. Hope you enjoy, and sorry for any Grammer mistakes. #9 in lucy; Oct 17, 2025

Lucy's life looks perfect from the outside, but behind closed doors, fear is her constant companion. Trapped in an abusive relationship with her boyfriend Chris, she's suffocating under the weight of controle, manipulation, and violence. Every day is a battle to survive, to hide the scars, both seen and unseen. But everything changes when Lucy becomes the new rookie of Tim Bradford. As their paths interwine, Lucy discovers that strength isn't just about surviving, it's about finding the courage to heal, even when the past refuses to let go.

Lucy almost got a heart attack when, while waiting for Tim in the men's locker room, found a leather-bound notebook with the word "Bradford" written on the cover. She couldn't believe it, her hard-ass T.O. Tim Bradford had been keeping a diary. And her curiosity was killing her. Little did she know, what she would find written inside... I don't own these The Rookie characters, but I do own the plot.

Tim and Lucy go to their home for the first time after getting back together. To mark their reconciliation and the fact that they're moving in together, they celebrate in their sheets. Missing scene from 8x1

Lucy Chen, a strong-willed psychology student, and her infuriating neighbor Tim Bradford, a grumpy bar owner and former military man. From the moment they meet, they can't stand each other - or so they claim. What starts as a neighborly feud soon evolves into something far more complicated and magnetic. With heated arguments, lingering glances, and unexpected moments of softness, Lucy and Tim are forced to confront a growing connection they never saw coming. Sometimes, love really is just across the hall.

This story is based on the events of 5x20, where Isobel momentarily returns to carry out a UC task with Lucy's help. I have changed up the events a bit, and played on Lucy's jealousy towards Isobel, and her interactions with Tim. Lucy is not willing to be second best, and makes that abundantly clear. How will Tim deal with this? Includes some Nyla x Lucy bestie moments, as I feel we didn't get nearly enough of that in Season 5 or 6.

She's Sharp. She's stubborn. And she's about to disrupt everything Tim Bradford thought she had under control. Lucy Chen transfers to Mid-Wilshire for a fresh start. Tim Bradford hadn't seen Lucy Chen since her rookie year ended. She's more mature, different. And that intrigues him.
