Lucy Chen a 26 year old woman is about to start her rookie time along with her two best friends John Nolan and Jackson West at Mid Wilshire station. But Lucy has two huge secrets that not even her best friends know... Lucy Chen is not her real name. Chen is her mother's maiden name, that she used to apply to the academy, since she didn't want anyone making the connection. Because not only is she the daughter of lieutenant Wade Grey of Mid Wilshire, but she is also the wife of Mid Wilshire's sergeant Tim Bradford. And she wants to keep all this a secret so no one thinks she has gotten special treatment, she wants to prove herself. But this means keeping her secrets hidden...

This is a fake scenario about 'The Rookie', Lucy is still a rookie, Tim Bradford is her TO, they have to go undercover as an intimate couple, what will happen to their persona feelings?

An undercover operation forces Lucy and Tim to play a convincing couple, even though they can barely stand each other. The fighting is real. The tension is worse. And the longer the mission lasts, the harder it becomes to tell what's fake and what isn't.

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 |

Two weeks after she risked everything to jump onto a moving truck, Lucy is assigned to be Tim's aide. Little do either of them know, their careers are about to take a turn. The two have to navigate their professional and personal relationships, piecing it back together one small dose at a time. Post S6 finale Chenford fic, somewhat speculative of S7. - "Hang on," Celina says, realization dawning on her. "You want me to ride with Bradford and Chen." Grey narrows his eyes. "Yes." "Together. Like, all of us in the same shop?" Celina looks between the three of them. "I'm sorry, I thought I was signing up to be a cop, not to be in the middle of an emotional minefield."

Working side by side has always been easy for Lucy Chen and Tim Bradford. Dealing with what's growing between them is not. Set during late Season 3 and early Season 4 of The Rookie, this slow-burn Chenford story follows quiet glances, dangerous calls, and moments that linger a little too long. As the line between partner and something more begins to blur, both are forced to face feelings they've been trying to ignore. Some connections can't stay hidden forever. And some moments change everything.

Lucy and Tim... They used to be the happiest couple you could ever imagine. No one was ever more in love than they were. But then Lucy followed her dream. She went undercover. It wasn't for long-just four months. But Tim took it hard. He was scared for her. He loved her. And yet... he still did what he did. He cheated. Even with all that love in his heart-he betrayed her. He was drunk. And there's not a single minute he doesn't regret it. Lucy didn't hear it from him. She found out from her. The woman. Lucy left the operation early. She was heartbroken. And their love... just couldn't survive it. They broke up. And Lucy? She found comfort in Chris's arms. He was there for her. Support. Safety. A friend. She tried to forget Tim. And she got back together with Chris. But she doesn't love him. She never will. Because in her heart-there's only one man. Tim. Always has been. Always will be. And Tim? He's falling apart. Especially when Chris shows up to pick her up. He wants to punch him. Every time. But he can't. Because this... is all his fault. And no-being drunk isn't an excuse. ⸻ L: Lucy T: Tim A: Angela C: Celina N: Nyla Jo: John G: Grey Ch: Chris (Aaron, Zoe, and Jackson are not part of this story. Tamara-maybe.)

The rookie gang go on a holiday together but Lucy bumps into one of her old exes and tim starts getting jealous

what would of happened if Chris was never with lucy? what would of held them back after going under cover in Vegas? This is set beginning of season 5, will follow a similar time line to the show, but some things will be different for story telling purposes and for the fun of it. hope you all enjoy!

They call Tim Bradford a fortress in uniform-sharp edges, strict rules, no way in. At Mid-Wilshire, everyone assumes he's riding Lucy Chen hard because she's a rookie who needs to be humbled. What they don't see are the fractures Lucy hides beneath the badge. She's cornered, exhausted, and running out of ways to keep the pieces from falling apart. When the truth finally surfaces, it doesn't just test policy-it tests loyalty. And Tim must decide whether he'll remain the unbreakable wall everyone expects... or step across the line to protect the one person who slipped past his defenses against all odds. !This book WILL contain smut so this is your warning!
