A Non-Exhaustive List of Nick Gehlfuss One Chicago Episodes
requested/encouraged by the CIA fandom wanting more Nick content set in Wolf 'Verse
This is not a full list of every episode that Will Halstead is in, because that would be a very, very long list, but it is a list of... recommended episodes? They're the ones that I think cover the meat of the character, his important story beats, the best moments. They will be listed in chronological order, in case there are any through-lines that a watcher might need to understand. The list will also include two categories of episode:
Bold text will be for "required watching"
Italics will be for recommended, but not necessary
All episodes of crossovers will be listed with the above rules. Episodes in crossovers with no formatting are episodes that Will is not in, but are part of the crossover event.
He does show up in all three long-running One Chicago shows (no appearances in Chicago Justice), so this will be a very long list. The show in front of the episode number and name will be shortened: Fire, CPD, or Med. Crossover episodes will be all on the same line. Because of the length, it is underneath a cut, just so I don't clog everyone's dashes!
if you watch it an need to scream about it for any reason, my inbox is open, I still think about Will Halstead on a daily basis

Note: First part of a one-shot I'm working on rn. The idea just doesn't want to leave me alone. I'll post the full thing on AO3 when it's done. Btw, I'm not forgetting your prompts guys, I'll get around to writing them, between RPs and mostly, looking for a job, I haven't had a lot of time (or energy) to work on fics.
Connor had started to lose track of time when Will walked into the room. He had been sitting there for five to six hours - and by ‘there’, he meant an increasingly uncomfortable armchair in the yet ‘deluxe hybrid maternity room’ of Med’s NICU - practicing Kangaroo Care with Natalie’s latest patient: a newborn foundling girl who had been found in a dumpster barely three streets away from the hospital.
Connor had been on his way out when he had heard of her. He had stopped to greet his friends, both Natalie and, more surprisingly, Maggie standing in front of the baby’s room, and had arrived right in time to hear Natalie say said-newborn was unlikely to make it. She was withdrawing from whatever cocktail her mother had been on and her spirit seemed to have been crushed by all that had happened to her in the hours following her birth.
When Connor had asked if anything could be done, Natalie had mentioned Skin-on-Skin contact, and for whatever reason - he was yet to identify - Connor had volunteered himself. Which was how he ended up sitting there, with a newborn laying on his naked chest, rather than resting in his own bed at home.
“I’m gonna be honest, I had no idea you were expecting,” Will joked.
Connor couldn’t help but snort, somehow amused.
“Yeah, I actually just got a call from Discovery, they want me featured on the next season of I Didn’t Know I Was Pregnant,” he replied.
Will laughed, shaking his head as he leaned against the door frame and crossed his arms on his chest, and, for yet another strange and unnamed reason, Connor felt lighter.
“Pretty sure that show was canceled ages ago though,” Will added a moment later.
“I wouldn’t know,” Connor said. His voice was dripping with sarcasm. “I never watched it.”
“Right,” Will answered, visibly unconvinced. He paused briefly before he said: “Shift’s over by the way. Nat’s looking for someone to replace you.”
“What? No,” Connor started. He was frowning. “She barely got used to me, I can’t just hand her off to yet another stranger. I said I would do this and I will -”
“Okay, okay, I’ll tell her, alright,” Will interrupted Connor’s escalating monologue. “In the meantime, do you need anything? Water? Coffee, maybe?”
“I could use another blanket actually,” Connor replied.
He was pouting slightly. Will frowned.
“Are you cold?”
“Not really but -” Connor started.
“You’re falling asleep,” Will cut in.
“I’m not,” Connor protested.
“You are,” Will replied. He still left his place on the threshold to look for a blanket in the dresser. “How long have you been up anyway?”
“Twenty-six hours, give or take,” Connor answered.
“Connor.”
“What?” Connor said. “I’m not opening anyone’s chest, I’m just sitting there, the equivalent of a human incubator.”
“What about your next shift -” Will started.
However, Natalie chose that moment to stop by:
“Hey,” she said. “I still haven’t found anyone yet but -”
