A Life Unexpected (A Chenford Pregnancy Story)
In which the Valentine's Day ex-sex has a major consequence. Post 7x06 Chenford unplanned pregnancy fic. - "Any chance you could be pregnant?" the nurse asks casually, like it's just any other question. Lucy opens her mouth to wave the option off, because she's got a IUD, and even then, she's not really sexually active right now, not since the breakup- Valentine's Day. Suddenly, her mind is spinning, even though she just doesn't think it's likely. She has an IUD. It was one night. She doesn't even think it was during her ovulation period. She had her period recently. But just the thought of it... It's pretty much impossible, right?

The Rookie Season 7 Part 1
These aren't official things that happen, just ideas I've come up with. I love the rookie and we need minimum 10 seasons. I would like to apologise to the Lucy fans for putting her through *trauma* in a lot of this.

Keeping secrets
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...
The road we never finished
One year ago, Tim Bradford broke Lucy Chen's heart and walked away without explanation. Now Sergeant Lucy Chen is stronger, promoted, and determined to never let him close again. Until she's assigned to a four-month undercover operation. Living in a van. Posing as a couple. Driving from Los Angeles down the coast to Baja, Mexico. With her ex. Every touch is "for the cover." Every kiss is supposed to be fake. But the longer they're trapped together, the harder it is to ignore the tension, the memories... and the questions Lucy never got answers to. Because Tim didn't just leave. He hid something. And somewhere between fake love and real danger, Lucy is about to find out the truth - The real reason he walked away.

You Ruined Us
A Chenford Story. This story will be sad, maybe heartbreaking. They might make up... and out, but we'll have to wait and see. What happens when Isabel returns to town, perhaps feeling that they may resurface, dreams that were thought to be destroyed come back into view. He's taken but thoughtful, loved but lost. What will Lucy do when she finds him at the bar, with that woman, that one person who remains at the back of her mind like an aching memory, one that's not a problem until it is. By the way, this happens like pretending they are together in season 6 Also, Bradford is the A**hole in this story. 😊 Enjoy!

A Family In Making
"From the shock of discovery to the miracle of birth, Lucy and Tim's world changes with every heartbeat. What begins as an unexpected surprise grows into the greatest adventure of their lives. Together, they navigate the ups and downs of pregnancy-morning sickness, doctor's visits, late-night cravings, fears, and hopes-while learning to lean on each other more than ever before. By their side is Violet, Tim's mother, whose warmth and wisdom guide Lucy through the challenges of carrying her first child, filling the painful absence left by Lucy's own parents. As the months unfold, every new milestone-tiny kicks, ultrasounds, cravings, and emotional breakdowns-becomes a reminder that life doesn't have to be perfect to be beautiful. Through laughter, tears, and Violet's steady love, Tim and Lucy discover that family isn't measured by blood or by flawless moments, but by the people who show up, stay, and hold you when the road feels impossible. And when their daughter finally arrives, they realize that this journey wasn't just about becoming parents-it was about becoming a family."

Borderline
When Lucy Chen, a sharp and ambitious defense attorney, and Tim Bradford, a no-nonsense LAPD patrol sergeant, discover they've been signed up for LA's hottest new dating show without their consent, they're less than thrilled-especially when they realize they already know each other from their professional run-ins in court and on cases. Forced into close quarters with cameras rolling 24/7, the by-the-book cop and the passionate lawyer who've spent years professionally sparring must navigate ridiculous dating challenges, eliminate other contestants, and somehow convince producers (and themselves) that they're actually compatible. Between their clashing worldviews, undeniable chemistry, and the mounting pressure to either couple up or get voted off, the line between what's real and what's for the cameras begins to blur. But when the competition heats up and real feelings start creeping in, both Tim and Lucy have to decide: are they willing to cross the borderline between professional adversaries and something more-or will they walk away before anyone gets hurt?

Second Best: A Chenford Story
This story is based on the events of 5x20, where Isobel momentarily returns to carry out a UC task with Lucy's help. I have changed up the events a bit, and played on Lucy's jealousy towards Isobel, and her interactions with Tim. Lucy is not willing to be second best, and makes that abundantly clear. How will Tim deal with this? Includes some Nyla x Lucy bestie moments, as I feel we didn't get nearly enough of that in Season 5 or 6.
