For anyone who saw my post over the weekend about writing a Brettsey & Amelia family feels fic, I am happy to announce that my impulsivity won out and the first 2 chapters are posted on AO3. Feel free to check them out and let me know what you think!
Summary:
Six years ago, Scott asked Sylvie to raise Amelia. She declined, knowing that she wasn’t ready to be a mother and that Amelia needed her father in her life. Now, circumstances have drastically changed and Amelia needs her more than ever. Luckily, she now has her husband and their three kids by her side to make sure that Amelia grows up knowing she has a family to belong to.
I want to ask you about something : I love Stellaride’s wedding, it was sweet, a little bit chaotic and quite perfect, but there is one thing that still bothers me. Katie. I mean, I know that with covid restrictions they probably couldn’t have her on set, I really get it but at least they could mentioned her. Like, Stella telling Kelly that it’s so bad that his sister couldn’t make it to their wedding and him saying ‘she couldn’t leave work but she’s sending all the best’. One minute and I’ll be glad! Because she’s his sister, she should be with him on that day and if they couldn’t bring her, they definitely shouldn’t forget about her and never mentioned her once. Am I the only one who thinks that?
The one Chicago writers are terrible at remembering their own storylines. It wasn't just Katie with the stellaride wedding.
Casey's mom gets out of prison in season one and is never mentioned again (I don't even think when Casey's uncle died and left him a watch, though his sister gets brought back after being forgotten for basically the entire series).
Alvin had another daughter Michelle get introduced in season three but after a few episodes she's gone and never mentioned again. Never meets Lexi. Doesn't go to his funeral. Nothing.
Dr. Charles abandoned Robin and got remarried at some point, had another daughter (Anna) then stopped showing up for Anna when Robin was around. I think they brought her back in season 6 for a few episodes but it was awkward and weird.
Boden has an ex-stepson, James, who he supposedly loves and still considers family, but we hear about and see him once and then never again.
Griffin and Ben Darden were, iirc, 10 and 8 in the first season, so when the characters came back they should have been 20 and 18, but the writers decided to make them minors instead for some reason.
Voight has a grandson. No idea what happened to him after Justin Voight was killed.
Kevin Atwater has multiple younger siblings. We only ever see two on screen Vinessa and Jordan, but in the first season it's implied that there's more (I can't recall the specific episode, but Kevin asks Vinessa to get her brothers and sisters or something) and they're literally never mentioned again.
Hailey's dad was in the hospital. Never mentioned again.
Jay committed a war crime apparently. After that episode was over its like nothing was ever said.
Connor implies that his dad took part in his mom's death and suggests it wasn't a suicide... Not brought up ever again after that.
Will violated the DNRs of two women. It's been almost completely forgotten and he never faced actual consequences in the show (insurance hikes don't count), irl he'd be in prison.
Honestly I could go on.
I have come to the conclusion that the one Chicago writers are not very good at their jobs.
They also use the same first name more than once... A lot.
Violet Casey (Matt's niece) and Violet Mikami (paramedic at 51)
Vinessa Atwater (Kevin's sister) and Vanessa Rojas (officer who used to work in intelligence)
There's more but I can't remember at the top of my head and I think you get the point.
Her love is like sunlight. Pure and unwavering. He knows it; has felt it beaming in his chest and fusing his organs together since day one. And somehow, in an accumulative and stupidly slow process, he realises that he never wants it to stop. He wants to marry Sylvie Brett.
So the planning begins. No matter how many visits they have planned, no matter how many furloughs they book, he can’t do it during any of them. He won’t. But as Ben’s final summer before college rolls around, Matt realizes his time is running out. Desperate to plan the perfect proposal while spending his last few weeks with Ben and Griffin, Matt’s past comes back to give him an idea that just might work. Because maybe… an airline can point him in the right direction?

Read on AO3
I'm kind of hoping, whilst also doubtful, that this season we'll learn about what happened to Matt in that period after his mother murdered his father and before he was an adult. I've been wondering since season 1 but they've never mentioned it.
Griffin and Ben are now a similar age to Matt when they had a mother in jail and a dead father. I can imagine that could well be playing a part in his reaction, given he can understand what they're going through to a good extent. Plus obviously the fact that these are the kids of one of his best friends, and he'd always do his all for them.

Kelly Severide: So I called DOC. and it turns out he was released
from prison a month ago, right before the fires
started.
Man 1 (Ken Rowe): So you think he’s looking to settle the score
with Benny by coming after you?
Kelly Severide: I think it’s worth looking into.
Man 1 (Ken Rowe): Sure. Anything for Benny Severide’s kid.
[door opens and closes]

Gail McLeod: Then explain why you have yet to input any data into
The Wizard.
Chief Boden: I will, Ms. McLeod, as soon as I get five minutes.
Gail McLeod: No, today, this shift… unless you’d like me to get a
relief Battalion Chief to come in to do it for you.
Chief Boden: Hmm. I’ll get it done.
Gail McLeod: Good. Thank you, Chief.
Chief Boden: [scoffs]

Kelly Severide: Any update on Heather’s friend, Jen?
Matt Casey: Still in critical condition.
Leslie Shay: Casey, how are the boys?
Matt Casey: As far as they know, mom’s on a trip. Hopefully they’ll

Gabby Dawson: Yeah, that smelled like beer.
[alarm blaring & buzzing]

stokes basket.
