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.

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

Tim and Lucy hate each other, but when Lucy has a spare room and Tim needs a place to live, what will happen?

Everyone in Mid-Wilshire knows Officer Tim Bradford is a wall-hard, unyielding, and impossible to climb. They think he's breaking Officer Lucy Chen because she's a "hot shot" rookie. They don't know that Lucy is already breaking. Between a boyfriend who is slowly stealing her light and a secret night with her TO that could end both their careers, Lucy is starving for a way out. When the truth finally bleeds through her uniform, Tim has to decide: follow the rules he lives by, or burn the world down to save the one person who finally saw behind his wall.
