Summary
“It's strange being back in LA, you know? I wanted to make sure my kids have the things they know when it comes to Christmas this year, but,” Genny shrugs, glancing at Lucy. “I haven’t done a lot of the traditions we used to have in a long time...you know, me, Tim, our parents. I miss it.”
Tim and Lucy spend the holiday season ensuring that Genny Bradford and her boys aren't without a little bit of tradition, and in the meantime, find themselves creating a few new traditions of their own.

Summary
Angela’s party, which had been Ugly Sweater themed last year, had been re-themed this year as Hollywood Glam, which Tim wasn’t totally against. It gives him the excuse to wear a nice suit and to see Lucy all dressed up, so...it could definitely be worse.
She could be wearing reindeer antlers, again.

Summary
“I was an idiot ten minutes ago,” Tim says, seriously, and she squeals as he carries her out of the kitchen. “I didn’t know the joys of a dirty Lucy Chen advent calendar before.”
No, he didn’t – and he still doesn’t, but he will.
Or: Lucy Chen spends the month of December giving Tim Bradford twenty-five days he'll never forget.

you make it feel like christmas by lucychens (bettycooopers)
Fandoms: The Rookie (TV 2018)
26 Dec 2022
Tags
Summary
Their first Christmas is supposed to be them, pretending that spending Christmas together isn’t serious because it doesn’t feel serious, it feels natural. It's supposed to be them, together, carefree, happy. Instead, it’s early in the afternoon in a dingy motel room on Christmas Day and the air between them is thick. They are not, in fact, together, carefree, or happy.
or: After plans for their first date fall through, Tim and Lucy get paired up on an extraction assignment that forces them to share a motel room on Christmas Day. Can a much needed conversation and a couple gifts finally make it feel like Christmas?

northern lights filled our skies by lucychens (bettycooopers)

Summary
When Lucy proposed Finland as the location for their holiday trip, Tim had been a little thrown off – and she didn’t really blame him, because up until a few weeks earlier, it hadn’t even been on her radar. “Two words, baby,” she’d said, sliding her foot along his calf. “Northern lights.”

kiss me on this cold december night by lucychens (bettycooopers)
Fandoms: The Rookie (TV 2018)
30 Dec 2022

Summary
Really, the only issue is that Lucy hasn’t quite told Tim she likes him, yet. She’s pretty sure he knows it already, and on top of that, she’s fairly certain he likes her back…but she hasn’t gotten around to saying it out loud. It’s not like she hasn’t almost kissed him or said it about four thousand times – she just doesn’t want to be the one to make the first move again.
So, he’s going to kiss her tonight. She’s making sure of it.

and if i tremble at the sight of you it’s not because i’m cold by lucychens (bettycooopers)

Summary
Lucy takes a few deep breaths. This is fine – this could not be more fine, actually. So she’s stuck in a cabin with Tim while one of the largest winter storms in the last few years rolls through the mountain – so what? It’s not like their relationship is strained beyond repair or anything.
She swallows, trying to find the silver lining. A silver lining, even. Any kind of lining would work.
OR: After Tim and Lucy are forced to call off their first date due to complications at work, calling things tense between them would be an understatement. When they get snowed in at a cabin in Mammoth Lakes will things finally thaw over between them, or will the cold front they've both put up be too much to bear under the weight of the winter chill?

Summary
“I want to go on a date with you,” Tim says, his voice firm. “I don’t care if it’s on New Year’s Eve or any other night, it’s a date with you – that takes precedence. Besides, I’d like to think I’m going to spend the rest of my year with you, anyway. Might as well start early.”
or: Tim and Lucy's first date ends up falling on New Year's Eve.
