    Summary

    It’s not like it’s a surprise. He knows Eddie can take his weight, he’s watched him for years carrying heavy equipment and lifting patients. He knows what Eddie benches at the gym. It’s just– it’s one thing to be conceptually aware of something and another to be handed incontrovertible proof of it. Plus, this is Buck at his biggest, his broadest, his strongest. He’s tall and heavy, he isn’t an easy man to carry, most people would find it impossible and lots more would struggle, and here’s Eddie, catching him like it’s nothing.

    *

    Buck discovers Eddie is strong enough to take his weight and then proceeds to be really normal about that fact, repeatedly.

    Summary

    Stella Kidd is a singer at the member's only High Rise Club owned by one of Chicago's richest men, her boyfriend Sal Moretti. But theirs was an empty relationship, and Stella knew that she needed to he more than a trinket on someone's arm.

    Kelly Severide is a lieutenant at firehouse 51, and in his spare time, he's single, bored.......and lonely. All his romantic liaisons are a series of one night stands, and deep down, he knows that there's an emptiness that needs filling.
    Until one night at the High Rise Club, Kelly turns around and finds himself mesmerised by the girl singing on the stage.

    This is a story of finding that 'once in a lifetime love' when you least expect it between two people who are so different....but are everything alike.
    It's a story of breaking free of someone who is all kinds of wrong for you and finding someone who will do anything to be the right one for you.

    But between Kelly and Stella stood Sal Moretti and his old Chicago monied family who had secrets that they didn't want Stella to find out....and once she did, Sal was never going to let her go.

     

    Most of the characters belong to the one Chicago universe and do not belong to me...

    Summary

    "“Screw it,” Stella muttered to herself. She quickly unclipped her harness from the tether, dropping down into the river as Kelly yelled out protests from above. It felt as though all the air had left her lungs when her body hit the icy water, the temperature so cold that it stung her skin."

    Or

    Stella ends up in the Chicago River... in February...

    Summary

    “Wait, it is! You tricked me.” Ravi announces, loudly.

    “Shhh, yell louder, why don’t you.” Eddie puts a hand over his mouth to silence him.

    “No, you tricked me, that’s Buck over there. I knew the name was familiar, this is the same place of his speed date thingy he said he’d go to.” He slaps his hand away, but lowers his voice. Not his annoyed tone though.

    “I didn’t know this was the same place.” Eddie tries, but he knows it sounds like a weak excuse even to his own ears.

    “Don’t give me that, you had a reservation! In your name! You planned this.” Ravi declares pointing a finger at Eddie’s face. And well…
