chenford lucychen therookie timbradford

Years after their rookie days, Sergeants Lucy Chen and Tim Bradford find themselves navigating the chaos of LAPD life side by side - no longer partners, but something far deeper. Between high-stakes calls, near-misses, and the slow-burn unraveling of years of unspoken feelings, their bond is tested in ways neither expected. When Lucy discovers she's pregnant in the middle of a shift, the world tilts. As she wrestles with fear, love, and legacy, the entire Mid-Wilshire team rallies behind her. What follows is a story of quiet courage, found family, and a tribute to the ones they've lost - especially Jackson West, whose memory lives on in the name of their daughter.All Rights Reserved

Chenford: More Than a Cover by Calexie84

When undercover officers Lucy Chen and Tim Bradford are sent to pose as a married couple at a remote retreat, the mission is simple - watch the suspect, play the part, don't get personal. But one unexpected night changes everything. When duty turns to desire and distance becomes silence, they're forced apart... until fate and danger brings them back together, not as partners - but as parents. A story of love found in the mess, of second chances, and the quiet moments that say everything.

The Secret daughter by therookie234

Lucy and Tim met each other at a bar six years ago. They were drunk and it, leading to her coming home with him and having a one-night stand. But shortly after she found out she was pregnant, but she didn't know his name, she has never seen she him again after that and she ended up raising their little daughter alone. On the first day of her new job, joining the LAPD as a rookie, she couldn't believe who was her field-training-officer...

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.

Chenford- Where Is This Going? by Calexie84

A weekend away for a police conference forces Tim and Lucy to confront more than just new tactical strategies. What begins as professional tension slowly unravels into something neither of them saw coming - complicated, charged, and impossible to ignore. Some lines blur. Others break. And nothing feels the same after.

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 |
