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. 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!

❝ I don't have time to waste thinking about a boy who will only destroy my future,❞ I say getting closer to him with every word, maybe a little too close. I feel his breath fanning my face. He licks his lip as a sneaky smirk slips onto them, his greenish-gray eyes shift between my lips and eyes, making my traitorous breath hitch. ❝ You saying you think about me, Torres? ❞ ~ Mariana Torres is the first in her family to go to college. Being the first in a Latinx family comes with more pressure and stress than usual, something Mariana is used to. She wants nothing but to make her family proud, even if it means pursuing something she's not interested in. Now heading off to UCLA on a full-ride with her best friend, she's finally getting the chance to get a strong education and become a successful doctor. But every perfect plan has bumps in the road, and this one just happens to be a beautiful one. Aiden Grey lives life like he's dying. He parties, drinks, smokes, burns through his money, and sleeps around with every girl at UCLA. He isn't attracting the ladies by being a brooding bad boy, but by being so carefree you feel your problems slip away when you're with him. Too bad Mariana can't afford for her problems to slip away. *** Warning: Book contains swearing and mature content. WARNING...

Tim Bradford x OC slowburn I don't own any of the rookie, only Aurora and Joseph and their stories. Whilst this is a slowburn, it won't be as slow as the chenford storyline(they better get back together in season 7!). I am estimating 3 seasons before they get together but we shall see. This is my first story so please feel free to give feedback! Enjoy!
Life's Too Short - A Chenford Story by Ginger_Dame

Tim and Lucy have a fight. Before they have a chance to resolve it, Lucy is swept into a hostage situation. This story is full of angst and shows a very vulnerable Tim Bradford. Hope you enjoy! This is canon-compliant until 5x19, but it's really a stand-alone #chenford fanfic.

What if the rookie had social media? Hey, guys this is my first post etc.. I just want you guys to keep in mind that these media post will be random so it might or might not expose that they work for the LAPD since they are popular Actors, influencers, and Models. Thank you! (if you have any ideas for these social media post let me know I will be happy to take any suggestions🥰) *I hope you enjoy!💕*

Hardass, stickler for rules, vengeful, angry. Words like these had been tossed around tirelessly to describe him. If anyone met him today, they would think he was born stuck in his ways, a man destined to be encompassed by the negatives in life. But, contrary to popular belief, he wasn't always like he is now. He wasn't like this when he still had his wife. ----- Morgan Bradford disappeared on the job two years ago, leaving behind no trace of what happened or where she went. Now Tim was determined to find her and fix what had happened, come hell or high water. - [Updated Weekly] [Tim Bradford x OC] [The Rookie] [Ongoing] [ X reader version available on tumblr and ao3] [previously titled: Bottom of the River]

the rookie nyla harper x oc right person/complicated circumstances, wlw season two onwards endgame side pairings: angela lopez x wesley evers lucy chen x tim bradford wade grey x luna grey john nolan x bailey nune disclaimers: 1. I have made certain alterations to the order of certain plot points in order for the narrative to flow properly so if something is absent or missing it may just be delayed to a later episode :) 2. I am, on occasion, slow with my writing (I do have a second rookie book that I'll be alternating updates with) 3. I obviously only really own my plot alterations, any original scenes and original characters so all credit goes to the rookie's creators/writers for everything else
