I haven’t watched Chicago PD for a while now (end of s9 was good enough for me) so I refuse to believe that the same person who wrote Upstead a love story so perfectly slow-burn, also wrote them divorce papers. Calling them getting married a trauma response? Gimme a break.
You can’t tell me that these two, who LOOKED AT EACH OTHER LIKE THIS AGES BEFORE THEY DATED, only got together cause of trauma. Sure, they were each other safe haven but that’s because of LOVE. Their slow burn was so obvious to everyone around them, including them, and when they finally made things happen, it was a forever kinda deal.
Come live in my world of peace where Upstead is still married and might have kids and everyone is happy and in love. They’re endgame and that’s it💗
Trauma response my ass… First of all, how dare she? And second of all, she cannot be serious. Jay and Hailey are equally the best thing that has ever happened to each other. Gwen is completely out of touch, she wrote most of their beautiful foundation only to disrespect it a few years later by calling them getting married a trauma response like they weren’t a slowburn romance from the beginning, all for the sole reason for being intentionally spiteful. Like screw her forever.
Happy Saturday friends! Hope your weekend is off to a good start! This is my third fic for Fictober and it’s my own little alternate reality set in the future after s9….a what could have been for Upstead where s10 doesn’t exist. Hope you enjoy! 💕
Shoutout to @shipcago and anyone else who recognizes this little plot bunny from a reblog I made ages ago.
Title is taken from lyrics to the song “Lover” by Taylor Swift.
just started rewatching CPD (s8) and I cannot believe I haven’t seen this show for over 6 months. my babies 🥺 I missed them and I missed Jay’s smirk for his (future) wife 💗
p.s. this tumblr account pretends that season 10 never existed and will continue to do so until Upstead is reunited
happy 3 years to my favourite person across the country. we still make time for each other even though university makes us busy and I love our chaotic "day vlogs" we send and our shared experiences that we don't plan lol, but someone up above is making sure we have the same bad day haha.
love you BIG ❤️

happy 1 year friend-iversary to one of my best friends in the entire world 💞 I love you so goddamn much alls, and I am so thankful we "met" online. turns out online friends really can be the best & who cares about stranger danger? you're the only one who's shady links I view ;) thanks for hearing all my complaining about people you don't know in person and dealing with my obsession with grey's/station 19/the 100. you're a keeper & I am so so so thankful to have you in my life. love you big ❤️

p.s. according to a totally accurate quiz, I'm April and Alls is Owen so that's why I've included extremely realistic pics of us :)
I used to when I was 12 but they were really bad and I think I deleted them all lol 😂 but maybe I should start again, especially my completely finished multi-fics
love doesn't know race. love and friendship and family should be celebrated and who freaking cares what colour skin someone is?
the little kids I nannied for last the summer (and continue to babysit) don't care that I'm way darker skinned than them. they didn't notice that their 4 y/o friend had a similar skin tone to me and not them. instead, the youngest (who was 1.5 y/o at the time) grabbed my hand and said "look, same!" he said this because we both had 5 fingers on one hand. nothing about the colour of my skin or his.
if a baby/toddler can see this, why can't everyone else? it just proves that kids are taught racism, and that no one is born with it. treat everyone with kindness and respect and see in colour because colour is beautiful, but don't hate in it.
