i keep thinking about how lucy was studying in tim's office and it's so sweet ♡♡♡ because there's no way he'd just let people hang in there and there's about two that i can think of that are the exception: lucy because she's always the exception to the rule and angela because as tim said once, "[...] we fear lopez" (and that's his bff)

[annalu86]

Another double date.

“You love me right?”

Lucy walked up to Tim as he stood at the fridge door, he was wondering what to make them for dinner but mostly looking for an excuse to order something in. She came to stand behind him, slipping her arms around his waist and pulling herself flush up against him.

“What did you do?”Tim was immediately suspicious.

“I asked you a question first!”Lucy giggled, a little nervously

“Luuuccyyy” he said, turn around in her arms and taking a step back. He looked down at her, making the most of his considerable height “it depends on what you’ve done” he was half smiling, lucy had a way of getting him into situations he’d preferred to have avoided.

“Isn’t true love supposed to be unconditional?!” She ran her fingers up his arm and gazed up at him through her eyelashes. But Tim was clearly not going to be easily swayed.

“It definitely depends.” He chuckled, moving past her to look half heartedly in a cupboard “Did you use the last of the coffee or did you sign me up for another ‘make a dream’ kid? Because the last time you started a conversation this way I spent my day hunting for our very own mini Houdini”

“Is that really your example of the worst thing I could do? You’re worried I’ve signed you up to babysit again?” Lucy playfully punched him on the arm, she followed Tim through her small kitchen as he made his way to the pile of take out menus having clearly given up on the idea of cooking.

“We lost him. A lot.” Tim sat down on the sofa and looked up at Lucy from behind a menu. He smiled at the memory, despite himself. Getting to spend days like that with Lucy, at the precinct or on patrol, we’re now few and far between. She sat down, crossed legged, next to him, her whole body turned towards him.

“So you admit it wasn’t just my fault we lost him!” She cried triumphantly jabbing him on the chest with her finger

“Ow!” He said rubbing the spot she had poked “Lucy, stop trying to distract me.” He put the menus down, finally a serious look on his face “What have you done?”

Lucy took a deep breath.

“I said we’d go on a double date.”

“Right.” It was clear he didn’t think this sounded so terrible, he tolerated Wesley and could just spend most of his time talking to Angela “With?”

She looked sheepish

“… John and Bailey”

“Ok.” Tim’s disappointment was written all over his face, but this is what he had taken on when he had chosen a partner in someone like Lucy “not my first choice but it’s just one evening”

“Great” Lucy smiled but it was an uneasy smile, there was definitely more. Tim could read her like a book.

“Lucy” he probed “what else?” She didn’t say anything, or look at him “Lucy?”

“The only time we were all free was the ___.” She said in a rush

The cogs in his brain started ticking, that date sounded familiar

“Wait that’s…”

“ the Rams are playing the ___ in the ___” she looked at him apologetically “I know! I’m so, so sorry!” Lucy grasped his bicep “So you get to decide, we can go to their house or we can all go to yours. That way you can still watch, at least, and I’ll do all the shopping and all the cooking. And did I mention I’m sorry and that I love you!” She stopped suddenly, waiting for him to respond. Tim’s gaze was steady, he was enjoy her being flustered for a change.

“Just know that you are going to owe me” Tim finally said with a smouldering look, once again Lucy playfully punched his shoulder. Instantly at ease. “I mean it” he quirked an eyebrow.

A wide smile spread across Lucy’s face

“I can live with that” she leant in to kiss him, all thoughts of dinner slipping from Tim’s mind.

Officer Tim Bradford’s ex-wife returns and asks the team to help her save someone from her undercover past. Isabel’s return also creates additional pressure in Lucy and Tim’s relationship as they assist in the search.

A Family Stroll: a.k.a. I’ve been reading too much Chenford fanfic 🤣 I was playing around with mixed media, and made this. Since we’ve got a long wait until Dec 4th, I thought I’d post it.

[my-shields-are-down]

BEHOLD! The beauty of Cameo chat… not yet living together, he’s just there all the time….

[queseraone]

stay

As they lay tangled together in her bed, basking in the afterglow and trying to catch their breath, Tim wishes he could shut out the rest of the world and stay wrapped up with her forever. But reality comes crashing down on him when he turns to glance at the clock. He sighs at the time. “I should go, I have an early morning.”

“Oh shit!” Tim shouts startled from in the kitchen while Lucy lays in bed, not really awake. A loud bang sounds from in the kitchen and Lucy sits up, becoming alert.

“You okay?” She calls out to him.

“Yeah!” he calls back. There is another bang followed by a string of muffled curses as Kojo starts to bark. Lucy gets up and heads into the kitchen.

What she finds has her covering her mouth trying to suppress her laughter. “What are you doing?”

Tim startles by her presence, being too preoccupied with waving a frying pan at the floor like it’s a sword. Tim doesn’t respond focusing on the task at hand. A cockroach then scurries out from under the island across the floor. Tim goes to whack it with the pan again and it flies up at him before landing at his feet. He yelps and jumps back, Kojo still barking at Tim and his frying pan.

“Oh my gosh, are you, Tim Bradford, afraid of a bug?”

“I am not afraid! And that is not a bug! If there are such things as demons, that is them! They don’t die! And they fly!” He exclaims, holding the pan at the ready for another hit.

“Oh my gosh,” Lucy laughs and moves to get a Tupperware container and a piece of mail. Tim goes for another swing and the roach evades him once again. Lucy walks up to it and places the container over the roach and slides the mail underneath to enclose it and pick it up. Tim visually relaxes the second it is enclosed.

Lucy heads past him to the back door and Tim presses himself against the island to steer clear of the creature. “Wait, where are you going?”

“To put it outside.”

“Don’t put it in the yard… It’ll just come back in.”

“Would you like to burn it?”

“I’m not getting that close to it.”

“How about I walk it a few doors down?” She asks walking to the front door.

“Oh, drop it across the street, second house on the right. They don’t like Kojo.” She stops at the front door and looks back at him.

“Could you open the door?” He hesitates, but concedes, keeping his eye on the roach container the entire time.

She walks outside and he stays put at the door. “You’re not coming with me?”

“No, I’m good right here.” He confirms and watches her cross the street. He watches her shake out the container across the street and jump back as the roach flies out. When she turns around, he gives her two thumbs up and a big smile.

She gets back in the house with the empty container and moves to wash her hands and put the container in the dishwasher.

“What are you doing?” Tim asks.

“What do you mean?” Lucy asks back.

“We are not keeping that container.”

“…it’ll be fine once it’s washed, Tim.”

Tim moves to take the container and throw it in the trash.

“Tim, that’s a perfectly good container!” Though a bit, frustrated with is actions, she is ultimately amused and mumbles, “I can’t believe big bad Bradford is afraid of a bug.”

Tim hears her. “Demon. It’s a demon. And it’s creepy and disgusting. And I am not afraid of it.”

Lucy comes up to him, grabs his face and gives him a brief firm kiss, before leaving the kitchen.

“Where are you going?” He calls after her.

“Back to bed. It’s not even 6AM yet!”

[mostowa]

Haha, I just realised my husband hugs me in a way that if it was Tim and Lucy the whole fandom would be absolutely in love about it. Oh, how much do I love this man.

Based on the pictures below I really think Tim's sitting at her island in the new clip

#Look At Them Casually Walking Together Through The Station

[sisterofficerlucychen]

my brain decided three weeks without a new episode is too much because for the second day in a row i’m having the most random dreams with little chenford snippets 😂😭

this one was so weird but kind of cute???? lucy was v pregnant and exhausted and overslept to this important event. so she shows up in slippers, sweats, and hair up in a claw clip and goes up to tim who’s at the other side of the room at a long table waiting for her dressed in a tux and just beaming at her. so she’s upset and asks why he didn’t wake her because she missed it and he laughs and says she didn’t miss it and pulls this dress out from under the table and it turned out to be their wedding???? 🥺😂

[the-bensolos]

Oh, so Tim has a key. Cool cool cool cool cool.

you’re my morning sun

the rookie | lucy chen/tim bradford | 4.5k

She’d only been a block away when the call came through, and she almost put her foot through the bottom of the patrol car with how hard she stepped on the gas, flipping her lights on and checking her mirrors on autopilot along the way.

“Lucy, wait,” Aaron starts when she jumps out of the shop, nearly forgetting to put it in park before jogging towards the dumpster where he just found the body. He blocks her path and grips her shoulders. “You shouldn’t–”

(in which there is a mixup. later on, lucy’s phone dies at the worst possible time.)

(or- spec fic for 5x18!)

What if their nothing date is just them cuddling on the couch watching tv and Kojo’s head is on Lucy’s lap? What then? What will we do then?

[mariabya]

One of my favorite, small, overlooked moments from 5x14 is after Tim asks Lucy if she wants popcorn after he arrives home for movie night he is the one that goes into the kitchen to make the popcorn. I know he was making the coffee in the morning but making the popcorn, that was such a cute domestic non-scene.
