Summary
The quirk of Tim's brows suggests he sincerely believes he might've rocked her world, and she's momentarily torn between cracking up and not wanting to burst his bubble. "I'm sorry," she prefaces, aiming to split the difference, "is that it?"
(A continuation of "The Rookie" 4x22, "Day in the Hole"; fulfills the "trapped in an elevator" prompt on my Chenford Bingo 2021 card.)

Summary
At 35,000 feet, everything makes sense to Tim. It's on the ground where things get complicated, like his stalled divorce, his fear of starting over, and the flight attendant with chestnut-brown eyes who makes him forget all his troubles. Lucy believes in taking chances, even on emotionally unavailable pilots who can't even ask for her number. Sometimes the best things find you when you least expect them, and sometimes they leave their number on your post-flight paperwork and dare you to be brave.

Summary
Lucy isn’t expecting it, is the thing.
She’s ready for it to be a bad day. At some point in the very near future, she’s going to dump her boyfriend for another man, and – despite all the questionably-helpful practice runs with Aaron – there’s no way either of them makes it through that without it hurting, especially since Chris has no idea it’s coming.
So today was always gonna suck, even before the addition of a missing baby at Hep-C Central. Lucy’s ready for today to suck.
She’s less ready for the bullets.

Summary
“You know, you’re not gonna get what you want by staring at her, Bradford.” Angela’s voice broke through his fog of frustration.
He pulled his gaze away from the bar and turned back to his friend, grimacing as he did. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
Tim just wanted to have a nice drink with his friend after work. And instead he’s having to suffer while men won’t stop approaching Lucy, who happens to be there as well. But he’s certainly not jealous, no matter what Angela tries to insinuate.

Summary
This isn’t how it’s supposed to happen. Tim wasn’t supposed to find his soulmate after she’d just been buried alive, and is now limp in his arms. She isn’t supposed to be dead, after he’d been dismissing her day after day for the last year, none the wiser.
Lucy would tease him, if she could. She’d laugh as she tells him that being a grump means he’s wasted all this time, and she’d probably kiss him.
Because, apparently, they’re soulmates.

“Are you seeing anyone?” She asked.
Tim blinked. Silence.
“It’s just…” She continued “If I’m alone with a very handsome cop in my kitchen, I feel like I should know whether I’m getting myself into trouble.”

Her lips were soft, her taste sweet, and he knew he could easily get addicted to this – to her.
“Goodnight, Lucy,” he murmured, his voice rough.
“Goodnight, Tim,” she whispered back.

Summary
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 Stars
Published by: Lucy ChenI would give Bradford’s Bakery 10 stars if I could, despite the unoriginal name and the grumpy owner, because it’s literally that good. I had a muffin and a pumpkin spice latte, and I’ve already reset my daily alarm ten minutes earlier so that I can go every morning.
Bradford’s Bakery looks unassuming from the outside, but don't judge a book by its cover. Everything is handmade and delicious. The atmosphere is relaxing. The coffee is gold.
+Bonus Star⭐️ - he makes dog friendly treats. I’m taking Kojo tomorrow morning.
See you soon, Tim!

Summary
Saw some time travel fics and after someone asked on Reddit how S1 Tim would react if he saw S7 Tim, I wanted to explore it—so expect a deep dive into Tim's psyche.
Tim finds himself in 2025 and is in for a lot of surprises that may or may not break his brain.
It won’t be overly supernatural or sci-fi-y! IWill contain S7 spoilers and tie up some loose ends left after the finale.
Tim’s head is ringing.
No, that’s an understatement.
There’s a whole orchestra going off behind his forehead, the piece they’re performing heavy on percussion and brass, and it is agony.
He forces his eyes open, squinting in the glare of the flickering overhead light. He’s flat on his back, and for a moment he can’t feel anything beyond the cold floor. Tries to move his legs, his arms, his fingers—and gets nothing.
Panic engulfs him instantly, the doctor’s voice in his ear: “We weren’t able to remove the whole bullet safely at this point. There’s a chance the fragment we left in will eventually shift close to your spine, in which case we will have to operate to prevent paralysis. But for now it’s safer if it stays put.”

Summary
Pop star Lucy Chen. She's growing her image. Writing songs. Putting out an album. She just needs a push further into the spotlight.
Tim Bradford, pitcher for LA Dodgers is the epitome of grump. Maybe sunshine is just what he needs to humanize him, gain him more fans.
So it makes sense. A fake relationship. For the press. For the fans.
Until it becomes too real.

Summary
Based on 2x12, 3x6 and maybe more. Series of "What if's" - moments between Tim and Lucy in the show that could have been more.
Not sure where I'm headed with this - if it's going to be a series of one-shots or an actual story.---
Tim reads Angela’s text for the fifth time. Or maybe the sixth. Then he reads it again.
Hey, Lucy had a bit of a moment earlier. Just thought you should know.
He texts back asking for details, but Lopez assures him that Lucy will be okay. Tossing the phone on the passenger’s seat, Tim leans back. He’s been feeling restless all day, unsettled.
He knows Harper is right – intellectually, he can understand what Lucy is going through, but emotionally it’s a different matter. It’s not a fear he will ever have to face.
But it doesn’t sit right with him that he can’t be the one to help her through this.
He was the one who found her. He was the one who pulled her out of the ground. He was the one who literally breathed life back into her. He’s the one who sat with her all night until she finally woke up.
I’m responsible for her, he tells himself. That’s the reason he doesn’t trust Lopez and Harper. That’s all this is.

“Look,” Tim began, cutting her off before she could say anything more, “it’s not wrong to want a connection, but settling for someone is the same as settling for churros. Unsatisfying.”
“Churros are not unsatisfying.”
“They are when you want Tiramisu.”
“Not just any Tiramisu, but The Tiramisu from that restaurant.”
“Wow, so he’s epically failing on all levels.”

Summary
There’s a little jingle that quickly moves from a distance, right to the doorway, and suddenly, there’s a very good dog, sitting and staring at her with a curious expression.
“Kojo?” Lucy whispers, completely confused.
What’s he doing here?
Unless...
If the idea of a drunken one-night stand with a stranger had been dreadful, well, this is objectively about ten times worse.

Summary
Tim did what needed to be done.
He let her go, pushed Lucy to take the opportunity she deserved. Except now, she's gone, and he feels the emptiness beneath his skin. It’s nothing—just an absence, a quiet ache he refuses to admit. So he moves forward, pretending everything is fine. But everything isn’t fine. And when Grey sends him to Sacramento, where Lucy is currently attending undercover school, Tim quickly realizes this trip is about to get a lot more complicated. Because even from a distance, Lucy never really leaves his mind. Because he knows exactly what he's feeling—even if he's not ready to put a name to it yet.
