Summary
Tim doesn’t speak.
He can’t speak.
“So, um, they said I’m lucky I came in when I did. And… well, they’ve admitted me for more testing. They said that if it’s confined to my uterus then they can just do surgery and I’ll be fine. You know, other than losing the chance to ever have a family of my own. I guess that’s lucky, they said? But… if it’s spread…”
Tim swallows hard, his eyes never leaving hers as she speaks.
He can see the tears in her eyes. She’s stubbornly refusing to let them fall, because she’s one of the strongest women he’s ever known, but he sees them and he hates what they represent.
“If it’s spread I’m just really, really fucked.”

Summary
Tim’s mind rushes back with the panic, the anxiety, the total brutal agony of losing Lucy. This isn’t how it’s supposed to be. By now, he should be back at the station, by her side, listening to how boring her day on desk-duty was.
Instead, she’s god-knows-where, fighting for her life against Rosalind Dyer.
He has to find her.
-
In which Rosalind Dyer's escape had a little less to do with Nolan and had everything to do with Lucy. S5 AU, picking up right in the midst of 5x03. Chenford fic, of course.

Summary
George was used to finding a silver lining in shit situations, but retiring from his home race after putting it on pole didn’t leave him with much to work with.
George scrolled through the recommended feeds, eyes half-lidded and sticky with exhaustion. Then one headline caught him: FORMULA ONE SILVERSTONE REACTION.
Not exactly original, but the description below made him snort: “RIP GEORGE RUSSELL.”
Yes. RIP, indeed.
OR Max is a sim racing streamer and George is a driver and a fan.

Summary
Anyone looking for a fic where Tim suddenly gains the ability to hear Lucy's thoughts?? Given the fact that she's still his Rookie, Tim's probably going to be in for a surprise when secrets suddenly become nonexistent between them.
----------
Other officers can quote protocol all they want – he knows what it feels like to be trapped behind a wheel, desperate to know if the person next to you is still breathing. He’s lived it far too many times. Procedure doesn’t account for the sheer terror of those moments, the icy grip of helplessness. No checklist can.Which was why, when the world exploded in a symphony of squealing tires and shattering glass, Tim’s first coherent thought wasn’t about the pain in his chest where the seatbelt had caught him or the warm trickle of blood moving down his forehead from where his skull had connected with the window. It was about the rookie currently sitting in his passenger seat.

Summary
“Of course I still love you!” Tim shouts out. “Do you?”
For a while, it doesn’t seem like Lucy’s going to say it back. There’s some bickering, and then there’s silence, and then when the fire roars so loud that almost nothing else can be heard, she finally speaks.
“I love you,” Lucy cries out. “I’m sorry. I do love you.”
“I know,” Tim responds, and it’s the last words either of them ever says.

In which Tim and Lucy perish in the wildfire, and Grey has to deal with the fallout. AU of 7x08. Double MCD!

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.
-
In which Tim and Lucy are soulmates. It’s too bad that she’s temporarily dead when this discovery is made. Chenford Soulmate AU set after DOD.

Summary
!!! Major edits to chapters 1-12. I added a couple new chapters so feel free to reread to catch up on a couple new things :)
---
It happens by accident. A small mistake, so insignificant in the moment, yet it carries the weight to shift everything. If only Lucy could go back, make a different choice, take a different path. But that’s not how life works, is it? And now, she can only think about what she could have done to avoid it.

Summary
Timothy "Tim" Matthew Bradford, 42, a figure of discipline and steadfast dedication. As a Metro Sergeant, Tim had climbed the ranks, earning respect and accolades along the way. Colleagues and superiors praised his stellar work, and now, he stood on the brink of another milestone: a promotion to Lieutenant. Yet, there was a catch: show a stable life and relationship outside of work. As a career driven man, he was ready to do whatever it took to secure his future, even if it meant entering a counterfeit marriage with his enemy.
Lillian Lucille “Lucy” Chen, 36, was a picture of strength and resilience, her eyes reflecting a depth of experiences that had shaped her into the woman she was today. She worked tirelessly, proving herself in a male-dominated field. Her dedication and skills quickly earned her promotions, but one particular case had changed Lucy's life forever. A seemingly routine 911 call that turned out to be anything but. She meets a child who becomes the center of her life. She will do anything to keep her safe, protected, and cared for. Even if it means throwing all her logic and fake marrying her enemy.
