chenford one shot stories

Random one shots feel free to leave ideas

The story is set towards the end of seventh season The Rookie series, after Chenford breakup and all the hookups and mutual confessions #chenford #therookie #timandlucy

This is a story if Tim and Lucy were both rookies. They went to the academy together and are friends. But slowly, they find themselves becoming more...

After the breakup, nothing explodes. Tim Bradford follows the rules too well. Lucy Chen learns how to breathe without him. They don't fight. They don't confess. They don't rush back to what they were. Instead, they move through silence, habit, and unintentional intimacy-partners again, but broken differently now. As Lucy begins to heal and Tim quietly unravels, both are forced to confront the truth they avoided: love wasn't what broke them. Fear was. This is a story about restraint and repair. About choosing honesty over safety. About two people learning-slowly, deliberately-that staying takes more courage than letting go. Because some love doesn't end. It waits.

Tim and Lucy one shots with the daughter grace

Just gonna be a small story. Basically one shots but text version. Maybe small radio version :)

Ten years ago, Lucy Chen disappeared without a trace. She was eight years old. A best friend. A sister in everything but blood. While the world moved on, Tim Bradford never did. Now a police officer in Los Angeles, he carries her absence with him-through every patrol, every cold case, every promise he never stopped keeping. Lucy was the one case he could never close. Until one night, instinct takes over. What begins as a missing person story becomes something far deeper: a quiet, emotional journey of survival, grief, and healing. Of found family, unspoken bonds, and the pain of coming home after years of being lost. This is not a story about how Lucy disappeared. It's about what happens when she's finally found
