Snakes. Tim bradford


Summary: Tim Bradford and Reader get a call at a reptile store..
Pairings: Tim Bradford x (fem) reader, (Platonic or Romantic)
Warnings: none
a/n: It's set around, season 6ish. not proof read lmao
“7 Adam 19, we have a report of a disturbance on the corner of La Brea and 12th, possible 211.”
“Copy that dispatch, show us in route.” Tim puts the radio back down. Y/N opens her mouth to say something, but quickly closes it, focusing on driving. She purses her lips, glancing over at Tim. A few moments of awkward silence fill the shop.
“What???”
“Nothing!! Nothing- “
He cuts her off, “You’ve got that look you get when you’re thinking. Spit it out.”
“Isn’t-“ She pauses, turning to look at Tim. “That address is an exotic animal store.”
“So…?” He side eyes Y/N. The car begins to slow as they arrive at the scene.
“A 211 at a store that sells dangerous animals???” Y/N says slowly, looking at Tim as she parks the shop. “I’m just saying, not the place you think would get robbed at 10am on a Tuesday.” She mumbles, shrugging.
They both exit the shop, Tim alerts dispatch that they have arrived on scene.
The store was trashed, you could see that from the outside. The lights were out, and a few windows were smashed. There were a few steps down, if it wasn’t for those, water would probably be flowing down the street.
Tim reaches down for his radio, “Dispatch, this is Sergeant Bradford at the disturbance on LA Brea and 12th, requesting back up,
Y/N leans forward, grabbing Tim’s radio. Without taking it out of his hand, speaking into it. “And animal control.” She looks Tim straight in the eyes. She lets go of his hand, entering the store.
There was an inch of water covering the entire floor. A few dead animals were scattered around, mostly tarantulas whose small containers were knock onto the floor from their shelves, and other insects. Snakes slither across the selves, and frogs happily hop around. Very few animals sit inside their actual enclosures.
A snake slithers across the floor at Tim’s feet. He draws his gun, pointing it at the snake. Y/N spins around, instinctively reaching for her own gun. She frowns at Tim, dropping her arms to her side.
“Put that away.”
“Why would I do that?” He doesn’t look up from the curious snake at his feet, his gun trained on it.” She gives him a warning look.
“What?! That thing could easily kill me. I’m not going to risk my life!!”
His eyes widen as Y/N bends down, picking up the snake. Tim’s eyes widen, he hesitates, but doesn’t follow the snake with the gun. “The hell are you doing?? It could be venomous!”
“It’s a rainbow boa- Boas are nonvenomous dumbass.” Tim frowns, but finally puts his gun away. Y/N safely puts the snake on the counter before walking to the back of the store, looking around with her flash light. After a few seconds she walks back out, radio in hand.
“Dispatch, we’re code 4. Stores empty except for a bunch of snakes and stuff.” She walks over to the racks of cages, looking over all the snakes, just examining the types of snakes and reptiles. “I don’t think they have any venomous snakes out front. They’re all in the back- and not a single smashed cage back there.” Y/N shoots a glare at Tim, feeling his worried gaze shift from her to the backroom door.
“Cmon, let’s just wait outside until animal control shows up. So, you don’t shoot any innocent snakes.
After shift later that evening, Tim went out with Lopez and harper. Something that has become a regular thing for the trio. Just have a beer or two, decompressing after work for a few hours before they get home.
A familiar voice behind Tim speaks “You seriously pulled your gun on a snake??” Tim chokes on his drink, turning to Lucy wide eyed.
“No! Of course not!” The man voice betrays him, as his voice cracks a little. Nyla snickers behind him
“Tim Bradford!” Angela exclaims teasingly. “You’re scared of snakes???” Tim just sighs in annoyance. He’ll never hear the end of this. He glares across the bar. Y/n winks at him, smirking as she takes a sip of her drink. Oh, it’s going to be a long night…
Tim made y/n pay his bar tab, but everyone’s reactions were so worth it.



I love how the entire #chenford fan base is just collectively losing their sh!t and none of us are okay.
Someone should check on us.
How you doing?👀
From 4x01...
That moment when Lucy was rising from the couch to go to Tim for comfort, exploration/discussion of feelings, etc
Yeah... I think about that a lot.
Like, we'll probably never know, but what exactly was she planning to say or do. She made up in her mind to go to him...
That was a HUGE decision.
And then the phone rings.
Granted that's not really how I would've wanted them to get together anyway (her being devastated about Jackson, Tim would've felt like he was taking advantage of her vulberabilty).
But the possibilities of what could've happen are endless. 🤔
Arrested a guy for assault, chased a bank robber on foot, created a diversion, spearheaded a hostage situation, ENDED said hostage situation, saved his aide from impending death and still found time to take his girl on 2 dates. Timothy Bradford ladies and gentlemen 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
He really said watch me superhero this shit today.
Okay, Rookie, I really need a new episode to watch... like right now! My obsessed self is starting to wonder what Tim picked over the sea-bass. 😵💫
5x10 was amazing but I'm going stir crazy now.

Lucy is looking thirsty af even with a cup in her face. 'Take things slow' who? Girly bout to slam on the gas peddle.
So my 5x12 promo observations/headcanons are...
Lucy is determined to say "Good morning" to Tim in the cutest ways possible and I cannot wait for her to able to say it while waking up next to him or over his shoulder as he cooks them breakfast.
They reach for each other AT THE SAME TIME! How in sync can they get?!?!
We finally get to see Lucy flustered by Tim. I think him touching her thigh kinda fried her brain for a sec. I mean that 'Ummm' sounded like an unwitting pause. We sorta got a little of that in her misstep with Tim's "It's what gave me the will to live" comment. But I would like to see more of him throwing her off balance like she does to him. She's so good at keeping her composure so seeing her off-kilter and flustered would be hilarious.
Tim bounced back with the "oh, really" so quickly it makes me wonder if he felt like this was coming sooner rather than later. In my headcanon we would get a little montage of chenford makeout sessions that constantly end with disruptions from other people (or doggies) or a few where Lucy pulls back reluctantly saying "not tonight", and Tim can tell she wants more, but he forces himself to stop.
-the cocky, smug and sure way he said "my place or yours?" 🥵 how she refrained from throwing him her panties right there, I'll never know.
Tamara knows? Could it be she disrupts a date (maybe the one from the clip of them in a near kiss in Lucy's apt) and Chenford plays it off like another interaction for work? 🤔
The flirting and UST is going to kill us all. RIP friends. I'll see yall on the other side.
Anyway I'm sure the writers will give us a good one so I'm down for whatever they bring us. And EW/MO always deliver.
Grey: It's not a good job.
Tim: Doesn't matter. Lucy Chen is the love of my life. I would do anything for her. I would sacrifice whatever I have to be with her. I would give up everything I own to love her. I'll take it.
I don't know about yall, but this is what I heard. 🤷🏾♀️
Okay so now that we've got the Rookie making a big deal out of Tim and Lucy's first time, as they should, (and well done, might I add) I need them to make a big deal out of everything else, too.
I want a big deal made out of everyone finding out, whether it's a cheeky "I knew it!" or scandalous shock.
I need them to make a HUGE DEAL out of their first "I love you". Like, make me gasp and ugly cry, please.
Please make a big deal out of Tim seeing Lucy's DOD tattoo. It's such an important thing for both of them.
I need a big deal made out of the trauma they both still suffer from with their families (Tim's abusive father, Lucy's narcparents) and how they help each other heal from it.
And a big deal out of them loving each other openly, domestically etc
And somebody please make a big deal out of Tim being so darn happy all the time now. That man is sprung!

Totally random... but I appreciate that The Rookie does such a great job with casting and scripting their character's family members. Celina's mom is a great choice Same for Angela's family, Lucy's mom, Nyla's daughter, etc.
The first time I saw Jenny- a tall beautiful woman with blue eyes and a sharp bone structure; I said out loud "There's a female Eric Winter".
But it's not just their looks alone. The way they're written and their characterizations are all so realistic. I love this show so much ❤.
Well... not what I expected this ep but that's okay.
This is all I can see anyway...

So, if Tim's going to Metro we get more of this, right?

And this?

And... this?

Oh, and this.

Oops. Well hell,... yeah that one too.
He has a key to her apartment. I repeat. HE HAS A KEY! 🥹🥹🥹🥲
Okay, guess I'll take one for the team, guys. I volunteer to put a unicorn on Tim's chest. 🤚🏽
I thought I was ready for Metro Tim. I was NOT. Spiraling. Foaming at the mouth. Completely unstable. Send help, please.

So I'm totally not complaining because I am LIVING for the content we're getting. I have never been fed so well with a ship. Like, NEVER!
But I would love to see some domestic Chenford at Tim's house. First of all, I miss Kojo 😔. Secondly, I would love to see little traces of Lucy popping up at his place. A picture here, a bouquet there, a shit load of candles lol ijs
