She was only supposed to be the nanny. Not the one who fixed everything.
Lucy Chen needed a fresh start. Tim Bradford needed a new nanny. And his daughter? She just needed someone who wouldn't leave.

In a house full of heartbreak, Lucy becomes the light. But even sunshine burns when it gets too close.
A slow-burn Chenford nanny AU filled with love, healing, girl talk, unexpected family, and found-forever.

Just try and listen to me Lucy: i have been trying, but everything you say just makes it worse! Tim: I'm sorry Lucy, I'm trying! Lucy: trying for what?!? Why do you care so much about what I do?!?

Shooting Stars, Falling Objects by AudieLewis

Lucy Chen is off to undercover school and Tim misses her more than he wants to admit. He knows he said they should be apart but one little text wouldn't hurt, right? Canon through 5x02 but then I just start making things up.

The Love Language Of Cooking by girlintotv

Widowed cop Tim Bradford just wanted to learn to cook for his picky 9-year-old daughter, Lydia, but when he meets Lucy Chen, a warm and sassy cooking instructor, he gets more than he could have imagined. What starts as private lessons turns into something sweeter as Lydia bonds with Lucy, and Tim realizes the recipes aren't the only thing heating up. With good food, a dash of romance, and a sprinkle of laughter, the trio discovers that the right ingredients can create more than a meal- they can build a family.

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 |
