    Summary

    She was supposed to file a report, not bring home a four-year-old. But when a scared little girl needs somewhere safe to land, Lucy Chen does what she’s always done—leads with her heart. With Sergeant Tim Bradford quietly stepping in to help, the two of them fall into a rhythm neither expected—grocery runs, bubble baths, pancakes, and paperwork. But beneath the surface, both of them are facing something deeper: Lucy’s fear of failing a child who finally feels safe, and Tim’s growing awareness of just how much he cares about the woman who always leads with her heart.

    AU with a four-year-old Tamara Collins. Set around season 4/5.

    Summary

    “Miles said you seemed to know the woman,” Lucy says, placing a hand over his.

    Tim pauses.

    Know is a strong word. One that he isn’t sure applies here.

    He knew her, once. A long time ago. She cooked him dinner and bought him and Genny ice cream in the park and silently handed him ice packs when his bruises looked particularly bad. He kissed her cheek after she dropped him off at football practice and promised her it was okay as she drove him to the emergency room with a broken rib—even listened when she suggested he tell them he’d tripped down the stairs.

    But nothing good lasts in a house like that.

    Or:
    Tim encounters a familiar face on a call, and soon realises he's going to have to confront the past he thought he'd made peace with.

    Summary

    The thing about arrogant rookies is they always think they're the exception.

    Ethan Dyke graduated top of his class. He has an uncle in IA. He's spent his whole life being the smartest person in the room—and Sergeant Lucy Chen is just another room.

    She's been doing this job long enough to know his type. Long enough to know that competence without humility is just a faster way to crash. Long enough to know that some lessons can't be taught—they have to be survived. Ethan Dyke thought he was the exception.

    He's about to find out what exceptions cost.

    Summary

    Her parents don't know she's married. They don't know she's fourteen weeks pregnant. They don't even know about the promotion to sergeant. Lucy has been avoiding this conversation for months, but some secrets can't stay hidden forever—especially when her mother has opinions about everything Lucy's ever done.

     

    A/N : I made MAJOR edits, especially in chapter 4, basically re-wrote it in the last 4 hours, so please do give it a re-read!
