You’re Okay
Jay Halstead x Halstead!Sister (includes Sarah Reese) Requested: yes A/N: I don’t have OCD myself, but I did a bunch of research to make sure I was portraying it respectfully. I hope the way I wrote this came off respectfully.
“Jay, I really don’t understand why we are here? I’m fine,” Y/N stated from her spot on the gurney. You were sat up in a treatment room in the ED of Chicago Med in a gown and in the socks you and your friends affectionately called ‘grippy socks’, with your big brother. Outside your room was a nurse sitting in a chair watching your room like a hawk.
“Y/N, like I told you the last time you asked, we are here cause I’m worried about you. You are always repeating the same task over and over again, get agitated when I or Will mess up the task and you seem to be more anxious than usual. Now relax and watch whatever this is” Jay stated while gesturing lazily to the small TV in the corner of the room playing some show about a ladybug superhero. 
Leaning back against your pillow, you played with your admission bracelet and thought about how you ended up here. 
You were sitting in your room tracing all the corners your walls created with your eyes, when you heard Jay get home. You began to hear Will chatting with Jay and you knew he was snitching on you. You were mad sure, but another part of you was sure that nothing would come of it. Next thing you knew the front door could be heard being slammed shut and Jay knocked on your bedroom door. 
“Y/N, I think we need to talk” he stated when he walked into your room. 
You just kept tracing the corners of your walls. 
“Y/N, look at me, I need to talk to you”
Blinking, you looked at Jay with a pissed off face and huffed out, “you messed me up. Now I have to start again!” And then you diverted your eyes and began tracing the corners of the walls again. 
“I talked to Will, he thinks you should get a psych eval at Med.” continued Jay, testing the waters. You just ignored him and kept your task going. 
“Like tonight,” he added. 
And next thing you knew you were in the back of your brother’s pickup truck with the kid safe locks on. 
The ED that night was rather slow - it was 10pm. After getting admitted, you were taken into a small room away from Jay. The nurse began taking your temperature, pricked your finger for some blood, and took your height and weight. After that, you were moved to a gurney in the hallway next to the nurses station. The nurse told you they were prepping a room for you and would call Jay back for you. 
20 minutes later - after a doctor came by and checked your lungs and heart - you were moved into a room. 
“I’m going to need you to change into this gown and these socks. And everything you have on you needs to go into this bag, okay sweetheart?” calmly stated the nurse while laying the gown, socks, and plastic bag on the bed.
Once you were changed and all your’s and Jay’s belongings  collected, you were sitting on the bed watching whatever show the nurse had switched on for you, when you looked over at Jay and asked, “Jay why are we here? I’m fine. This is all so unnecessary.” 
Jay sighed, “humor me” and with that you began staring at the nurse outside your room.
“Y/N, I’m going to step out for a little while, just so Dr. Reese can evaluate you.” said Jay pulling you out of your thoughts. You nodded and waved as he exited and closed the door. 
Reese walked over to your brothers chair and sat down, 
“So Y/N, I know this can seem really scary having a psych eval, but trust me it’s super painless.”
“Okay,” you smiled. 
Reese crossed her legs and picked up her clipboard and smiled, “okay, so I’ll ask you some basic questions first. So do you know why you're here tonight in the ED?”
“I have way to overprotective brothers who think I need a psych eval because I’m too anxious” Y/N easily replied. 
You watched as Reese checked something on her clipboard and then she asked, “Do you know the day, month, and year?”
“July 31st, 2022” you hummed out. 
Reese smiled again, “you're doing great so far Y/N. Have you consumed alcohol in the past two week?” 
You shook your head, “wouldn’t dare to”
Reese chuckled and continued, “Have you done drugs in the past two weeks?”
Shaking your head you added, “With a cop for a brother? I don’t have a death wish”
Reese chuckled again, “Yes, I would too. Okay, you're doing really well so far. How about thoughts of hurting yourself or others?”
You sighed, “no, but sometimes I’m worried something might happen to my brothers.”
“That’s a perfectly valid feeling to have, especially with the careers your brothers have.” validated Reese. 
“Do you ever hear voices telling you to do things you don’t want to?”
You close your eyes and sigh again, “not so much voices per say. But sometimes I have to do things repetitively and if I don’t I feel like something is going to happen to my brothers.”
Reese took a moment to write something down on her clipboard while Y/N began to think
“Jay, are you sure it’s okay that I come to work with you?” you asked for the umpteenth time that morning. 
Jay looked at you and responded, “for the millionth time, yes. Why wouldn’t it be?”
You shrugged, you truly didn’t know why you kept asking, but you just felt like something would go wrong if you went. 
Once you got to the precinct, Jay buzzed the two of you up rather quickly and without so much as a peep to your brother’s co-workers you practically ran to the break room, plopped yourself on the couch and began tracing the corners of the walls in the room with your eyes. You felt yourself calm down instantly.
“Y/N, you okay to keep going?” calmly asked Reese, while pulling you from your thoughts. 
“Uh, yea” you responded rather quickly. 
“Okay, on a scale of 1 to 10, how anxious would you say you’ve been in the past two weeks?”
You thought for a moment and asked, “is 1 least and 10 most?”
“Yes, 1 is least anxious and 10 is extremely anxious, I apologize for not clarifying”
“Probably hovering around an 8 or 9 then” you said while beginning to play with your admission bracelet again. 
Reese wrote something down again and spoke, “Well, what did I say, not too bad of a psychological evaluation”
Looking up you asked confused, “wait that was it?”
“Yup, now you just wait here while I talk to Jay and I’ll be back with my findings. You’re going to be okay” and with that Reese squeezed my hand, got up and left the room. 
Taking a deep breath Y/N looked around the room and began tracing the corners of the walls in the room while she waited. 
30 minutes later, Y/N saw the handle on the door begin to turn and in walked Jay. 
“Hey, are you doing okay?” he asked calmly while taking a seat next to me. 
“Yea, I just want to go home. I feel like I’ve been here forever and it doesn’t help that they took my phone away”
Laughing, Jay shook his head, “you're here for a psych eval, of course they took your phone. They can’t have you finding a way to hurt yourself.”
“With my phone?” you exasperated!
“You could have something sharp hidden in your phone case or you could break off a piece of your phone case. Look all I’m saying is it’s the same reason we pat down suspects before they are interrogated, It’s to keep you safe”
You dramatically threw your head back and made a raspberry with your mouth. 
Jay just laughed and shook his head. 
Not long after Jay came back, Reese walked back in. 
“Y/N, Jay. I’m sorry for the wait. I was just finishing up some parts of the psych eval. Y/N, I do think you have Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, commonly known as OCD. I would like to admit you to the psych ward for 72hrs. Just so we can begin treatment.”
You sat there stunned, you didn’t know what to say, thankfully Jay noticed your shock and perked up, “Dr. Reese, what would treatment entail?”
Smiling, Reese spoke, “While we had you on the floor, we would put you on meds, since you exhibit high amounts of anxiety and you would also receive Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.”
Finally finding your voice, you asked, “Do I have to?”
Reese smiled and replied, “it’s just for 72hrs. That is as long as we can hold you. Once those 72hrs are up, you can check yourself out. I would just highly recommend you let us admit you. It will really be beneficial for you.”
You sighed and looked at Jay and then back at Reese and spoke, “okay”
Thanks for reading! Feel free to like/reblog if you want or feel free to comment!

blacklit paradise au! — aftermath —
“You’re smoking?” Jay startles at Sarah’s voice, quickly taking the cigarette out of his mouth, about to crush it out in the glass ashtray sitting on the small table he keeps on the balcony of his apartment but Sarah shakes her head to stop him.
“Don’t tell Voight.” She lets out a small puff of air, Jay thinks it’s an attempt at a laugh.
“Calm down I won’t tell your boss you’re smoking, your brother on the other hand…” Reese trails off and grins when Jay glares at her.
“Don’t you dare.” He points his two fingers holding the cigarette at her with a serious tone, though the smile on his lips cuts through it all. He’s just happy Sarah’s outside, and smiling.
“Your secrets safe with me.” The plastic chair Sarah pulls to sit in front of Jay makes a scraping noise against the concrete. It sounds oddly like the scrape of the dresser in front of the door the night Jay had to— he shakes the thought away, taking a drag of his cigarette and holding it a little longer than normal.
“Natalie went back to work today, I’m officially the last one left.” Sarah tries to sound nonchalant but Jay can see the hurt written across her face as she plucks Jay’s half drunk soda from the table, looking anywhere but at Halstead.
“You’re allowed to take your time, your stitches haven’t even healed.” He assures and leans his elbows onto his knees, a way to be closer to Sarah, as if some threat is going to pop out of nowhere and he’ll need to jump up to save her. God he feels like he did when he got home from Afghanistan, which is a scary thought he chooses to ignore.
“I know, that’s all anyone’s been telling me. I just- I’m staying in your apartment, waking up either panicking so bad I throw up or start sobbing, I can’t even look at my own clothes so I’ve been wearing yours and- I just feel so fucking broken.” Her chest heaves as she sighs, sipping at the coke in her hands, leg bouncing against the chair under her.
“Hey I haven’t gone back to work either, and I catch myself counting your breaths when you’re sleeping on the couch, and I triple check the doors locked after I come home, and I could keep going. The point is, we’re both going through a lot and that’s okay, we’re gonna be okay.” Their eyes meet and Sarah nods faintly before bringing her drink to her lips again.
“But stop stealing my drinks.”

public displays of affection [ chicago med ]
CHARACTERS INCLUDE ─ will halstead, connor rhodes, sarah reese, april sexton, ava bekker, ethan choi, natalie manning
Tumblr media
⋯ WILL HALSTEAD
a golden retriever when it comes to any sort of affection. sure, he understands there is a time and place for it, but some times he can’t really help himself -- you’re his partner, why wouldn’t he show you all the affection? will has no issue with kissing you on the lips, pulling you in for a tight hug, or lacing your fingers with his own. regardless of the crowd surrounding the two of you. some make fake gagging noises, but they understand the need for some physical affection from time to time
⋯ CONNOR RHODES
somewhat like will, but is a bit more reserved. relies heavily on “there’s a time and a place” and will always try to keep up a professional experience in public settings. he will, however, give you a tight hug or a soft kiss to the forehead whenever you need it -- i.e. you’re having a bad day. but, once the doors are closed, he’s very affectionate and will show you every ounce of love the second you’re alone together
⋯ SARAH REESE
very shy to show any sort of physical affection in the beginning of the relationship. she’s still trying to get past the idea that you’re even with her to begin with --  which is something that still amazes her from time to time. once she is able to gain a little confidence, she has no problem reaching down to lace her fingers with your own, before giving your hand a tight squeeze. it’s simple, but it’s very grounding for the two of you and a quick reminder you have each other’s back. any other sort of affection is saved for more private moments when other’s aren’t around
⋯ APRIL SEXTON
loves holding your hand -- she’s a nurse, and a lot of her care comes in the form of contact. she’ll hold your hand if neither of you are busy, give you a few grounding squeezes, or press a kiss to the back of your hand. uses it in the sense to comfort you, while also telling you she’s here for you
⋯ AVA BEKKER
finds public displays of affection to be more on the unprofessional side -- she’s trying to work, and as much as she would like to, kisses cannot be given at this time. however, if she’s on lunch or has a break in-between patiences, she will 100% provide you with the affection you are looking for // lacking throughout the day. it’s also taxing on her as well, but she’s got a better control on her affection when compared to her coworkers
⋯ ETHAN CHOI
much like ava, isn’t too fond of showing public affection but there are instances where he would. the end of shift is usually when he shows the most affection -- seeing he’s super tired and just ready to go home with you for the night. he’ll hold your hand, kiss your neck and cheek. really just turning into a pile of mush once he gets his affection
⋯ NATALIE MANNING
becomes so busy during the day, giving affection is probably one of the last things on her mind, but she always tries to make room for you and the affection she does give. arm around your shoulder // waist, nuzzling into your neck, pressing kisses to your cheek or the tips of your fingers -- she’ll do it all. does stand on the side of hestiancey when it comes to doing so around others, but she loves you so it equals out

Haha, I hope you enjoyed my tough questions. A few more:
Kelly Severide or Mouch
Stella Kidd or Sylvie
Kim Burgess or Makayla (this is mean, I know 😂)
Violet or Hawkins
Ritter or Gallo
Connor or Boden
Adam or Trudy
Erin or Jay
Gabby or Hailey
Ethan or Sarah
Robert Chase or Matt Casey
I VERY much enjoyed your tough questions! They were very fun to answer - as was these ones! Thank you for sending me some more!!
Kelly Severide or Mouch - I love Mouch, he's truly a treasure to me, but Kelly is just so deeply embedded into my mind and heart.
Stella Kidd or Sylvie - Stella is my queen. If it wasn't for Kim, she probably would be my all time favourite of all the oc women. So this was truly no contest.
Kim Burgess or Makayla (this is mean, I know 😂) - this is super mean of you, but ultimately, a big part of my love of Makayla comes from my love of Kim, so Kim it is!
Violet or Hawkins - I love Violet so dearly, she seriously gives Stella a run for her money when it comes to my favourite oc girlie and also, as much as I love Hawkins, I love him a lot because of Hawkami.
Ritter or Gallo - It was mean of you to put my two boys together, but Ritter is just my favourite without a doubt.
Connor or Boden - This was SO SO CRUEL of you. These two are two of my favourites and it was so bloody hard to chose between them. Because Boden is so special to me, my daddy issues riddled ass eats him all up. But Connor is one of my main reasons for getting into OC so I just had to chose him.
Adam or Trudy - Adam without a doubt. My brainrot for him goes deep.
Erin or Jay - Erin. There's problematic stuff about her, but I love her so dearly.
Gabby or Hailey - This choice surprised me, because when I first started watching, I definitely would've made a different choice, but I have really enjoyed Hailey in season 10, and then what we've had so far in 11 and doing my rewatch of fire recently, I was left more annoyed with Gabby then I did enjoy her.
Ethan or Sarah - Sarah is my girl !! If Stella is my most favourite of CF, and Kim of PD, Sarah is my med favourite!
Robert Chase or Matt Casey - This was super super mean, but ultimately, I consistently agree with and like Matt all the time basically, whereas I sometimes in some episodes don't jive with Chase.
Thank you for asking!! These were really very fun!

“You don’t get to call me that.” for estrangement omggg
Heat of the Moment
Estrangement | Exes!AU
Ship: Reesker
CW: accusations of abuse
WC: 1076
Tumblr media
They had been yelling for a while, to the point where Sarah expected someone from PD to come banging on the door about a noise complaint. Ava had backed herself into the wall beside her fishtank, mirroring Sarah’s closed off body language that urged her to stay back. Startled eyes tracked her every movement, noting every shift and step the other woman took.
She wasn’t sure how this argument started, just like everyone before it. Sarah had let herself in with a huff, tossing her keys onto the coffee table and not bothering to pick them up when they slipped onto the pristine grey carpet. That’s where her eyes stayed frozen as she looked for words, searching for a way to convey what she wanted.
“You keep me isolated,” Ava’s whisper was barely audible, “When was the last time I went out with friends? The last time I met up with you and your friends? I don’t have anyone but you in Chicago, Sarah, and part of me wonders if you wanted to keep it that way!”
“Don’t you dare say that,” Sarah spat, “Your inability to make friends is not my fault at all.”
“Right, so the way no one ever thinks to acknowledge me when they invite you out right in front of me, that’s all coincidence?’
Sarah scoffed, “Well I think your totally approachable personality could be to blame, Ava.”
“I have a personality disorder, Sarah!” Ava’s tone matched hers as she uncrossed her arms, visibly shaking. She was looking at her girlfriend in disbelief, wondering where on earth the understanding, loving woman she knew went in all of this.
“That doesn’t excuse anything.”
“I never said it did. It’s an explanation, Sarah, not an excuse. You know how hard I have worked to be better socially, you know I’m trying. You of all people would know…”
Sarah ignored the way she blinked rapidly, if she did she might lose her courage. If she acknowledged the hurt in her girlfriend’s watery eyes, she might drop the subject and then the cycle would begin anew. Love and care turning to small conflicts and then even bigger meltdowns. It wouldn’t change, it wouldn’t stop; not unless Sarah fought back.
“They’ve noticed.”
“What?”
Sarah never once met her gaze, “At the hospital, they talk. They talk about how you act and how unfeeling you are. They wonder if you care about anyone but yourself. Your fights with Connor, your involvement with his dad. People have been talking for months.”
“I never did anything with Cornelius-”
“I’m not finished,” she said firmly, “They’ve talked to me, Ava. They ask if everything is okay at home. We say we’re dating but they never see us outside of work, not together. Some of the nurses ask if I’m okay, if there’s something wrong in our relationship.”
“I didn’t think anything was wrong… We just don’t do PDA, we aren’t those people. Sarah you know I never did anything with Connor’s dad and my relationship with Connor was a mutual issue. I’m not unfeeling, you know better than anyone that I feel too much. It’s why I have to depersonalize at work, otherwise I will break down.”
“Ava, I have been researching,” Sarah sighed, “Cluster B disorders… I think you were misdiagnosed.”
“Sarah Reese, I know what you’re thinking. Don’t you dare say it.”
Unruly curls bounced as she shook her head rapidly, mind racing too much to listen for the hurt in Ava’s voice. She had poured over countless journals and information for months, asking every psychiatrist she knew for information. Her notebook was littered with notes, messy beyond legibility for anyone else, all citing experiences she had recalled. Sarah had even reached out to her mom, something she never did anymore, asking for stories about her dad. She recited every observed behaviour and memory she had about the two of them, Ava and her dad, long enough that a connection bloomed in her mind.
“Your behaviour is concerning,” she started, “I can’t ignore it anymore, Ava. I wonder if you feel anything, really, because it doesn’t seem like it sometimes. I don’t want to believe you’re lying to me but that's all I can think now. Is all of it made up, do you really love me?”
“Sarah, I care about you so-”
Can you really love me? I think I have a habit of finding people who remind me of the man I grew up without… I begin to wonder if the pattern has any substance. The way you act, some of the things you’ve said, it doesn’t add up. I don’t think you’re borderline, Ava, I think you have ASPD.”
“Sarah,” tears had started tracking down Ava’s cheeks as the pain bubbled in her chest, “Don’t say that. You can’t diagnose me. I have trauma, I have all the markers of BPD and OCD. I was diagnosed after the last incident in my twenties, you know that; you read my notes. What are you even saying?”
“I’m saying people are asking if you abuse me emotionally,” Sarah’s voice was unlike she had ever heard before, cold and ripping at her heart like daggers, “My mind keeps comparing you to my dad and it all makes sense now. I’m saying I am starting to believe what they said may be true. I think maybe I flock to abusers with pretty words and lies-”
“No!” Ava’s scream rang through her apartment, punctuated by a thud as she backed into the wall again. Tears were freefalling down her face and leaving clumps of mascara behind, highlighting the agony she felt as she was staring at the woman she loved. Her hands shook violently as she tried to channel everything she felt into a feasible emotion, feeling like everything would bubble up until it exploded.
“You- you don’t get to call me that! After everything… How fucking dare you, Sarah? A-after I tried so hard, for years, to not become like the people who hurt me. You can call me a lot of things but psychopath? Abuser? I would never hurt you, and certainly not like this.”
“Ava, the research shows-”
“Out!” she screeched and scrambled to grab Sarah’s keys off the carpet, tossing them towards the door to make distance between them. She backed up again, arms crossed tightly around her body, “Get out, Sarah.”

Reach for My Hand ('Cause It's Held Out for You)
The residency at Baylor never opened up. Sarah was stuck at Med following the Robert Haywood incident and she was right. After everything, people- all staff alike whispered. About her. Her father and what happened the night he collapsed. She did her best to ignore them though.
Her days were now spent avoiding Dr. Charles unless she had to talk to him. While she also avoided Noah Sexton following her rejection of him. She should have taken April's offer to talk to her brother to get him to ease up. But after the mess with her father, she was reluctant to accept help from anyone.
Her only reprieve was her friends in the ED. They kept her busy most of the time with consults so she didn't have to talk to Dr. Charles often. Months passed and she wasn't happy by any means, but she got used to it. Because it could always be worse.
Instead, her other safety net came in the form of her brother-in-law. Or was it former brother-in-law? Sarah wasn't sure what the terminology was with Nic now gone.
"Well, well, if it isn't little Sarah Reese: big shot resident," Sarah turned at the sound of the familiar voice and Conrad Hawkins' stared back at her with an easy grin.
"What are you doing here? You didn't tell me you were coming when I was facetiming with Gigi last month!" She exclaimed as she turned and wandered closer. Allowing her half-sister's husband to wrap her in a tight hug. Chastain had sent Conrad along to scout out the Hybrid OR.
"Okay," Conrad said, a week after he got there. She had been in line to get a cup of coffee when he appeared behind her. "There are dozens of rumors flying around about you. But I don't care about them because you're going to tell me what's actually going on."
When Sarah glanced back she saw a look that she had only heard about from her big sister. There was a narrowed focus light in his eyes with his mouth turned downward. He wasn't going to let this go.
"Let me get my coffee first." She relented with a heavy sigh. Then with a coffee to warm her hands, she pulled him into a corner. Then she started with her father and his bad heart. From there she moved to his personality disorder and Dr. Charles treating him for it. Everything else that came with Dr. Robert Haywood and the fallout after just came out from there. When she was done explaining everything, Sarah lifted her gaze to look at her half-sister's husband.
"I know Nic's gone, but when everything was happening, I picked up the phone so many times to call her because she would know what to say and what to do." She told him, with a watery catch in her voice.
"Why didn't you call me?" Conrad asked quietly, "Why didn't you let me help you?"
"What could you have done, Conrad? You have Gigi and you just started back at Chastain. You have a lot on your plate. You didn't need me to add to it with my family drama."
"Sarah, you're Nic's little sister. You're Gigi's aunt. You're my family. As for what I would've done, I would've suggested you come home." Conrad pressed, tapping on the table for emphasis.
"To New York? With my mother?" Sarah pulled a face, before she shook her head, "No, thank you."
"Not New York. Georgia."
"Georgia? Why would I go there?"
"Because you'd have family-me and Gigi and a job there."
"A job?"
"At Chastain. One phone call from me and you'd have an interview in no time; you know how much Nic always hated that you moved to Chicago to finish med school."

ooh how about sockett + detective au for the three sentence fic prompt?
sorry this took so long it turned into slightly more than three sentences lol
Crockett strolls into the bullpen half an hour early, with a cup of coffee in one hand and his phone in the other. He's got over a dozen unread emails, and when he left the night before, the stack of papers on his usually immaculate desk was looking dangerously close to collapse. If the traffic downtown hadn’t been so bad, he’d have been here even earlier, but half an hour should still be enough time to at the very least get through some of his emails, or start organising the mountain of papers. He expects he’ll probably end up shredding most of them anyway.
As he nears his desk, he skims over the subject line of one more email — something about one of the break room coffee pots — then slips his phone back in his pocket, ready to start fixing the administrative nightmare that his life has become in the last forty-eight hours. He takes a sip of coffee and then stops in his tracks a few feet from his desk.
There’s a woman sitting cross-legged in his chair. Her face is mostly hidden behind a newspaper, but what he can see of it looks young, and she has curly hair pulled back in a neat ponytail. She has a gun holstered at her hip, and Crockett’s stomach sinks. She hasn’t noticed him yet, too engrossed in whatever article she’s reading, so he starts walking again, all the way to Goodwin’s office at the other end of the bullpen.
He knocks, then waits for her Come in before opening the door.
She’s at her desk flipping through paperwork, something he should already be doing, but she sets it down as he enters. The room is well-decorated, with plants and art dotted around, but, Crockett notes as he approaches the desk, the frames that once stood there proudly displaying the face of her husband — Bert, is it? — are now nowhere to be seen. 
“Hey, Sarge, look—”
She holds a hand up to stop him. “Is this about Detective Reese?”
He blinks. Detective. 
“The woman waiting for me at my desk?”
“That’s Detective Reese, yes. She’s your new partner.” She folds her hands on top of the file she’d been looking through when he came in, and fixes him with a stern gaze. It’s obvious where this is going.
“Sarge, all due respect, I don’t do partners anymore. Not since last time.”
“Detective, it’s been a year. Reese is a good cop, and I think the two of you will work well together.”
A silence falls over the room as he figures out what to say next. He’s not ready yet, and there are other detectives looking for partners, but he settles on “Am I being punished?”
“No.”
“Is she?”
Goodwin sighs, and that’s all he needs to know. “Look, Crockett, I just want you to give her a chance. A few weeks, that’s all I’m asking. There are other people I can pass her on to if it’s really not working, but you have to at least try.”
He nods, then starts making his way towards the door.
“Crockett? One more thing.” He turns back to face her. “Be nice to her. Please. Things will be a lot easier if you are.”
Another nod, and then he leaves, shutting the door quietly behind him. From here, he can see his desk, and Reese still sitting comfortably in his chair, completely unaware. He’s not sure how to do this, but he strolls over anyway, and stops directly in front of her.
“Detective Reese?”
She looks up from her newspaper, eyes wide, then scrambles to fold it up, creasing the pages until it’s obvious it’s not getting any flatter and she has no choice but to set it down on the desk the way it is.
“Hi, yeah.” She stands and holds a hand out. Crockett ignores it. “Detective Sarah Reese. I’m your new partner.”
“You’re early.”
“I wanted to take a look around before I started. Sir.”
He shakes his head at that. They’re partners.
“Sorry. Detective Marcel.”
“You can call me Crockett.” He grabs his wallet out of his back pocket, then searches through it for a moment before handing Sarah a $5 bill. “Go and grab yourself a coffee, take a walk around the block, whatever. I don’t want to see you again until eight, okay?”
She nods. “Yes si- Crockett. Thank you.”
Her coat is thrown on the back of his chair, and she quickly grabs it and shoves her arms through the sleeves. She offers a quiet “see you later” before leaving, and Crockett doesn’t hesitate to take his seat back before she’s even out of view. 
Twenty-four minutes until eight. He can’t bring himself to think about it.

I have been pushing posting this off because after I send the ask I kinda got shy and anxious about this…But here it is!!
This is a fanart gift for @gregorygerwitz and @kitthekazoo based on their amazing Magic AU
It was supposed to be a Christmas gift but apparently, I made this drawing a bit complex for my art skills xD
I try to give a visual and color representation of each power base on the moodboards and small snippets and information that you have posted so far and how I saw that in my mind, im not going to post it here but if someone is interested to know my thought process you can ask me!
I hope you like it, you both are awesome and creative so I wanted to gift you something that reflectes that...
The preview image look pixaleted but if you click on it it look fine (sorry about that)

A few opinions about Chicago Med below unpopular, popular, I dunno, y’all decide!
Ava’s character had so much potential, but the way the producers wrote her relationship with Connor screwed her over.
As much as I love Rhodestead, I really, REALLY wish Manstead would’ve worked out. Albeit, give Will some therapy and teach him how to treat a woman !!
If we couldn’t have Manstead, we should’ve at the very least had Jeff Clarke with Natalie, he genuinely cares about her, but at the time, she was in love with Will. I wish they had more time together.
Elsa sucks. Period. I get, that it’s fiction and she’s meant to be quirky and not an average doctor? But she’s such an asshole to patients that I can’t respect her as a doctor.
Natalie should’ve had an arc where she was transferred to the peds department permanently. She would’ve thrived there.
I don’t like Nina. I understand people that do, but she’s personally not for me, I think her and Will’s relationship was… pointless? It was only to make Will realize he was truly in love with Natalie. Which, didn’t matter in the end cause of how badly their relationship ended.
The way Sarah left was absolutely insulting to her character and her relationship with Dr. Charles. Biggest punch to the gut ever as someone who relates strongly to Sarah.
Connor’s best arc was becoming a heart surgeon under Downey’s guidance. Their friendship was too short and underrated.
Lanik deserved so much more screen time. He was the best E.D. Chief and should’ve gotten more appreciation.
Maggie carries the show, I take not disagreeing on this one actually. /hj
April honestly deserves to be happy. She’s been through so much shit, and she and Ethan DESERVED that happy ending.
The “safe” drug use site was maybe Will’s worst decision. Next to Jennifer Baker and taking care of Burke.
And leaving Natalie in the dark ^
As bad as I feel for both Natalie and Will, she had no right to treat Will the way she did, having lost her memory or not.
There was a point where I DID NOT like Natalie. She was flat-out emotionally abusive to Will when he genuinely did care about her and tried to help.
That being said, Will still has faults. He should’ve absolutely given her space after the breakup and the Burke situation.
And I know he’s a highly secondary character but, I can’t help but feel bad for Owen? He saw Will as his dad, he was probably the first male figure he saw after he was born for… quite a while? It was shitty of Natalie to completely separate them. Especially after how much Will cared about him.
Second, to all of that, Philip was fucking pointless.
Ben was the best thing to happen to Maggie as well.
Jesus Christ, I feel like these people go through fiancés like cigarettes. (April with Tate, and in S5, Ethan)
And Natalie with Jeff, then Will?
Like, let people get married?? What is Dick Wolf so scared of? (Gay ppl probably)
Will deserves a STABLE RELATIONSHIP with a good person, not an ex-drug addict (who he fought with constantly and THEN SHE ASKED HIM TO GO TO LA WITH HER?), not Natalie, and Connor is gone so… :/ Idk, give him and Nina another chance even???
I really wish we got more “casual” crossover content. Like, I wanna see scenes of Casey, Severide, the Halstead brothers, Upton and maybe even Ruzek? Just hanging out at Molly’s :(
I really think Sarah and Connor were a missed opportunity. Especially with all the weird shit that happened in the first two seasons? It wouldn’t have been too far-fetched.
Better than Sarah and Joey 😭
Sarah deserved a love interest and someone to help carry her burdens. That girl had been through enough
Along with wanting Will to have a stable relationship, we should’ve gotten more Reesestead scenes…
Crockett is kind of a dick…? Especially to Ethan in his earlier episodes. But, he’s redeemable.
I really like Noah! But, I think he’s better suited as an E.D. doctor, not a surgeon.
Also, as much as I LOVE April and want to say she does no wrong, the way she treated Noah was extremely childish and unfair. He truly could handle himself and him becoming a surgeon goes to show that.
Finally, Chicago Med is absolutely shit at trans and gay representation. To the point of sometimes blatant transphobia in some episodes… (Looking at Claire…)
Thank you for reading, and remember that these are my opinions ! Feel free to disagree but remember, sending death threats is a crime !! Respect people’s opinions.
