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.

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?

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.

"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.

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 |
