Elizabeth (Ellie) Gallagher had spent her whole life taking care of her siblings. Starting from her younger sister Fiona and ending with her youngest brother Liam. She had watch for years as her 'parents' and 'sister' would go in and out of the house. Never truly staying for long. After graduating high school at 16 she worked her butt off to become the police officer she wished was around when she was a kid. 

Ellie wasn't confident that she'd become a rookie. The biggest upper hand she had was when it came to fighting. Due to her time in the South Side she knew how to handle herself. She knew how to push herself. She knew her limits. Yet she still believed that no department would take her. Not until captain Zoe Anderson personally called her to invite her to join the LAPD. 

This was her chance. Loss Angeles had a lot to offer. It was a fresh start for her and her siblings. No ties attached. She knew this was her moment to prove to herself and others that there are some good cops out there. You would just have to know where to look. And she wasn't going to let anyone get in her way.









Disclaimer!! I don't own shameless or the rookie. I only own my oc and her story.

Afterschock || Tim Bradford by Kristy_Evermore
111 parts Ongoing Mature
Some people break like glass. She learned how to shatter silently. Skylar Altair wasn't supposed to wear a badge. At twenty-four, she was a certified prodigy-board-certified in half a dozen specialties, a nuclear medicine and neuro-path genius, a rising star in a white coat. The youngest. The brightest. The girl who never failed. But trauma doesn't care about your résumé. Loss doesn't care how many degrees you've earned. And the world doesn't stop spinning just because your soul flatlines. Her father died in front of her eyes when she was twelve. Her brother spiraled into addiction. And when she needed help most-when everything was taken from her in a single night-no one came. Not the heroes. Not the law. Not the system. So she stopped waiting. They taught her how to save people. Now she's going to learn how to protect herself. With the steel of a soldier in her blood and the precision of a surgeon in her bones, Skylar trades the hospital lights for sirens, scrubs for Kevlar. Becoming a cop was never the plan. But plans change-especially after the aftershock. In a city that's breaking at the seams, Skylar will have to confront everything she tried to bury: her rage, her grief, her brilliance, and the terrifying possibility that maybe-just maybe-she was meant for this life all along. Genius. Survivor. Rookie. She's not trying to be a hero. She's just trying not to fall apart again.

By 2009, Tim had earned his promotion to Training Officer while Natalie was tapped for Detective, fast-tracked into Narcotics, and partnered with her Academy friend, Isabel Blake. But by 2019, everything had changed. Isabel's struggle with addiction began in 2016, and Nat had gone deep undercover in a cartel ring-six months in when a new wave of rookies joined the LAPD. Tim's life continued at the station, while Nat's path pulled her further into the shadows. Disclaimer: I don't own The Rookie-just Natalie "Nat" Hayes and her story.

But her arrival shakes up the station in more ways than one, especially for Tim Bradford, who finds himself intrigued by her guarded intensity and unexpected vulnerability. Working alongside Detective Angela Lopez and Sergeant Nyla Harper, Alyssa quickly proves she's more than capable, but her past cases and personal demons start bleeding into her new assignments. As Tim and Alyssa are forced to partner up on a string of high-risk investigations with ties to her former UC life, they must navigate danger, deception-and the undeniable chemistry building between them.
