BASED IN LUCYS ROOKIE YEAR. What if they need to 'let loose?'

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 |

Tim wants something real with Lucy after ending things with his ex, Ashley. Lucy's busy trying to make Tim jealous with her new personality, the girl Tim has to work for to call his.

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.

〘 Tim lets his stress get the best of him after a long week. Lucy makes sure he knows he fucked up, but eventually ends up giving in. The tension grows between the two of them after a moment at a bar, and they attempt to live in denial.〙 ❕Before reading, here are some things you should know! - This fic is set to start off around s4's timeframe. - In this AU, Jackson never died. 🥳 I believe that's all, so happy reading!!! 💗
