Mess up my bed with me
Kick off the covers
I'm waiting
Every word you say I think
I should write down
I don't want to forget
Come daylight

Summary
”What happens undercover, stays undercover. Right?”
After the brutal murder of Jackson West and the kidnapping of Angela Lopez, Lucy Chen breaks down in the quiet sanctuary of Tim Bradford’s apartment. In the shadows of shared trauma and absolute exhaustion, a line is crossed. A sudden, explosive kiss that changes everything—before the tactical radio violently tears them back to reality.
Agreed to sweep it under the rug for the sake of her career and his command, they build fortresses of professional distance. They try to hide behind new relationships and the rigid routine of Mid-Wilshire. But from the dangerous streets of Las Vegas to the suffocating close quarters of Shop 7, the universe refuses to let them run. Because you can cross every line to escape the dark, but some ghosts are already waiting for you at home.
A mature, deep-dive Chenford canon divergence fanfiction. Heavy angst, burning sexual tension, and a very slow burn.

Summary
“To the end of the world,” Lucy murmurs, and she doesn’t know if it’s the look in his eyes, the desperation of the moment, or the knowledge that the world might be ending and they may never get another chance that propels them forward.
Tim smirks, her heart thunders in her chest, and she takes a single step closer to him.
“Whenever that may be,” he says, and then he’s raising the glass to his lips and taking a long swig. Lucy mirrors the movement and then licks her lips, the tequila burning down her throat as Tim stares at her, his own lips wet with the whiskey he’s clutching in his hand.
“Tim,” she breathes, because despite the fact that he hasn’t let her be afraid yet, she is a little bit.
“Lucy,” he murmurs.
She doesn’t know who moves first, just that, later, it keeps her up at night.

Chenford hooks up during the missile threat and there are consequences.

Summary
Tim knows Lucy's taste. Even when she changes it.
*
She was buried in the corner, her weapon aimed straight at him, a sly smile curving one corner of her lips.
He surrendered, removing the strap of his paintball gun and offering it to her in supplication. She took it from him, but she yanked when he didn’t expect it, toppling him over and into her lap, and suddenly the world was just her lips and her skin and her eyelashes fluttering against his cheeks like butterflies, and citrus - citrus everywhere.
Thorsen had found them then, and in his disgust at Lucy’s betrayal, shot the two of them.
