When Lucy Chen transfers to Mid-Wilshire, she never expects to come face-to-face with the man she once shared an unforgettable summer with - Tim Bradford. Old sparks resurface, buried feelings ignite, and what starts as tension soon turns into a slow-burn journey of love, laughter, and second chances. Through flirtation, friendship, and the challenges of life in and out of uniform, Tim and Lucy discover that some connections are meant to last forever - no matter how much time has passed.

Lucy thought her life was on track-until betrayal blew it all to hell. With her son in her arms and nowhere to go, she runs. In Los Angeles, she tries to rebuild, and maybe even trust again. But just as her connection with Tim Bradford grows, the past claws its way back...

This is what I imagine (want) to happen straight after season 6 ended (Aaron is still in the story despite him having confirmed he won't be in season 7), focus on Chenford, slow burn. The Oscar/Jason storyline is incorporated from season 6 but not Monica. Lucy sets out to prove herself again as a good cop after her disaster with the detective's exam. Will the awkwardness between Chenford be resolved? Or will it all come to a head? Disclaimer - I have stayed true to each character's mannerisms in the show, so if you're looking for a story where Tim calls Lucy his pookie princess and is overly gushy, you won't find that here. I have remained as realistic as I can with each character's actions, behaviours and words.

Lucy and Tim were childhood best friends ever since elementary school but were disconnected when Tim moved to Los Angeles to become a cop and Lucy stayed in her hometown. What will happen when Tim comes back into town?

Lucy is in East hollywood but used to be at mid Wilshire but moved to go undercover but before she left was a detective so now she gets called a uc detective, Tim is a Sargent but they have never met as she moved before he joined, Lucy is best friends with Angela and she gets called back to mid Wilshire for a uc opp with Tim as jake & Sava. They end up catching feelings for each other and soon after the opp start dating.

Lucy and Tim go deep undercover again - this time posing as a married couple to infiltrate a suburban crime ring. Living in close quarters, pretending to be in love, it starts to feel real. But when the case starts to turn deadly, will their masks slip? or Lucy is still grieving Jackson and needs someone to lean on. When her relationship with Chris has gone to hell, Tim seems to always be there. Now on a new undercover mission, what tension will unfold?

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.

Tim and Lucy have a fight. Before they have a chance to resolve it, Lucy is swept into a hostage situation. This story is full of angst and shows a very vulnerable Tim Bradford. Hope you enjoy! This is canon-compliant until 5x19, but it's really a stand-alone #chenford fanfic.

In this story Lucy had a kid from when she was nineteen, and has an abusive boyfriend. She struggles a lot with leaving. "Tim: Lucy! Lucy: why do you even care?!? I'm just some rookie who went through some things! Tim: very bad things, that you haven't had therapy for! Lucy: so you think I'm not stable or something? Tim: that is not what I said! 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?!? Tim: because Lucy! Lucy: because what?!??" Disclaimer: I do not own The Rookie or any of the characters in this franchise! Except for the characters Mark and Daisy, those are my original characters.

"There's no touch or feeling, Pleasure or pain Anything like the way you're runnin' through my veins, No breath or beauty, No sound or sight That ever made me feel the way you do tonight I just can't take my eyes off of you" - 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐲𝐦𝐮𝐜𝐡 𝔗𝔥𝔢 𝔜𝔬𝔲𝔫𝔤𝔢𝔰𝔱 ℜ𝔬𝔬𝔨𝔦𝔢 At just five months old, Xiomara's life took an unexpected turn when Wade Grey and his fiancée discovered her alone in a car, left with nothing but a heartbreaking note from her biological parents.
