𝒜𝓃𝓉𝒾𝓉𝒽ℯ𝓈𝒾𝓈 ⇝ ℰ𝓍𝒶𝒸𝓉 𝒪𝓅𝓅ℴ𝓈𝒾𝓉ℯ𝓈. 

Lenaïs Téllez and Lucy Chen couldn't be more different. They are what some people would call an Antithesis. 
Hardened by years in the Marines and a decade in the LAPD, Lenaïs has an overall disliking of people and finds letting her guard down a challenge, whereas Lucy's sunshine and rainbows attitude makes her very hard to dislike or not get along with. Until TO meets Rook. Will Lenaïs give Lucy up to another TO or will she eventually grow rather fond of her bubbly boot?

OC x Lucy Chen
Talia doesn't exist and Bradford trains Nolan instead.

hate to love by ChenfordWrites

They swore it was just one night-then came the stolen glances, the secret smiles, the fall.Fresh out of the police academy, Lucy Chen is ambitious, sharp, and ready to prove she belongs on the streets of L.A. What she didn't expect? Being paired with the one training officer everyone warned her about: Officer Tim Bradford stone faced, cold-hearted, and impossible to impress.From day one, they clash. He's all rules and structure. She's instinct and heart. But under the tension is something else something neither of them want to name.Then one brutal shift, Lucy gets hit with a bad period and tries to tough it out. Instead of brushing her off, Tim sees right through her pain... and surprises her with quiet care.That moment should've meant nothing. A week later, they hook up. Once. They agree it was a mistake. But working twelve-hour shifts in a patrol car together makes forgetting impossible-and pretending they don't feel anything? Even harder. Lines blur. Walls break. And when feelings start to rise, so does the danger-on the streets... and between their hearts.

SURPRISE? // CHENFORD. by isimpalottt

After Tim and Isabel's divorce, they went no contact. She'd gone to rehab, he'd become a Sergeant. What happens when a 7 year old catalyst comes into play? How does this fair for Lucy and her relationship with Tim?

The 3 A.M. Rule | Chenford by hosiexa

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 |

Unspoken Rule of Love by damilmk

Tim Bradford, a training officer at the Mid-Wilshire Division, is a man of discipline and routine. Behind his tough exterior, though, he's a single father raising his six-year-old daughter, Hope Alexandra Bradford. Hope's mother walked out when she was just a child, leaving Tim to navigate fatherhood on his own. Lucy Chen, recently transferred from Hollywood Division, moved to Mid-Wilshire to be closer to her best friends, Detective Angela Lopez and Officer Celina Juarez. When Chen met Bradford, she saw the kind of seasoned cop who seemed all grit and no play. But behind his walls, Tim was a soft-hearted man devoted to those he loved. Slowly, Lucy and Tim became friends, and soon, Chen and Hope developed a close bond as well. One day, Tim and Lucy finally confessed their feelings for each other but the LAPD rules came crashing down. Officers in the same unit cannot be seen dating. Now, they're stuck between duty and desire. How will they navigate the rules, their growing love, and the delicate balance of family with Hope caught in the middle?

In the Line of Desire by Nymeria13

"She's just my rookie." and "He's just my Sergeant." Only if it were that simple there'd be no story to tell... Lucy Chen joined the LAPD to prove herself. What she didn't expect was to be paired with someone likeTim Bradford-her no-nonsense training officer whose bark is exactly as sharp as his bite. At first, their partnership is a clash of wills, but underneath the tension simmers something neither of them dares name. When Lucy's personal life implodes and Tim's fractured relationship pushes him past his limits, the two find themselves circling closer-caught between duty, desire, and the unspoken bond that grows with every shift. From patrol calls in Los Angeles to an undercover operation in Las Vegas, where they must pose as lovers in order to bring down a dangerous drug syndicate, Tim and Lucy's act becomes harder to separate from reality. Every touch, every glance, every kiss blurs the lines between cover and confession. But with enemies closing in, secrets threatening to surface, and their careers hanging in the balance, one thing becomes clear: the most dangerous risk they'll take may not be the job-it may be each other.

The Rookie: Hidden in plain sight by Zelena_Blackarne

Sofia Salvatore is no stranger to chaos. As a former Navy Corpsman with battlefield scars and a sharp tongue, she's used to surviving under pressure. What she didn't expect was to fall for the one man who might just match her grit - LAPD training officer Tim Bradford. After a quiet wedding kept far from the eyes of the LAPD, Sofia sets her sights on a new goal: becoming a cop herself. When she walks into Mid-Wilshire as a rookie, no one knows she's already married to the notoriously tough and disciplined Bradford - no one except Sergeant Wade Grey, who keeps their secret out of respect and trust. Assigned to her own husband as her Training Officer, Sofia must walk a razor-thin line between professionalism and affection, all while proving she belongs in one of the toughest precincts in the city. While John, Lucy, and Jackson navigate the trials of their rookie year, Sofia balances two lives: one as "Corps," the competent, respected ex-military rookie, and one as Tim's wife, sharing stolen moments and whispered conversations behind closed doors. As danger escalates and lives hang in the balance, the line between personal and professional begins to blur. Through high-stakes arrests, undercover missions, heartbreak, and triumph, Sofia and Tim must fight to keep their love hidden - and strong - in a world where exposure could cost them everything

Hidden Truths║T. Bradford x O. C. by someoneinrome

Violet Nolan, a former Marine, comes to Los Angeles after years away from her brother, showing up unannounced at the district where her brother John works. Behind her determination and independent smile, she hides deep scars: she left the Marines after witnessing war crimes committed by a superior and has struggled with fear, threats, and a brief addiction to forget. Her presence disrupts John's quiet life and immediately sparks tension with Tim Bradford, who sees Violet as guarded, arrogant, and distrustful. Amid secrets, conflicts, and moments of vulnerability, Violet will have to find the courage to face her past, mend her bond with her brother, and figure out whether she can trust the man in front of her, even when the attraction becomes undeniable.

Between Duty and desire by eric_jesse_fan

When seasoned LAPD officer Tim Bradford's rookie, Lucy Chen, proves herself under fire during a winter foot pursuit, an accident leaves Tim critically injured with a broken arm and leg. Forced to rely on someone for the first time in his career, he discovers that Lucy, his rookie and the officer he has trained and mentored, is willing to stay by his side. As she tends to him during his recovery, the professional boundary between training officer and rookie begins to blur. From awkward dependency to quiet companionship, their shared time fosters trust, vulnerability, and a slow-burning attraction neither of them expected. Set against the gritty realities of LAPD life, Between Duty and Desire is a story of resilience, personal growth, and love built from the unlikeliest of circumstances. Tim and Lucy must navigate their evolving relationship while balancing duty, trauma, and the challenges of learning to let someone in-and realizing that the strongest partnerships can be both professional and profoundly personal
