I love that Matt brought Heather into this because yeah, if things hadn't been the way they were between her and Kelly, that might have actually been a good plan. And I love that it backfires (initially, anyway) so that he finds out what's going on there because omg, there's so much these two or they all don't talk about which I understand but at times it's frustrating nonetheless.

So I'm glad you had Matt being angry and trying to fix it because what else did he think Severide "wanting him to be the first to know" and looking just miserable and nervous at the bar meant?! Not that it's Matt's sole responsibility in their friendship to interpret Severide's actions correctly, it was just that I felt like that scene had a big, impossible to miss "I need your help here or at least tell me not to go" neon sign over Kelly's head. But Matt was too disappointed to be able to see it.

This is new territory right here. Fragile common ground that was always too fresh, and too painful, and too everything else to be brought up for discussion.

Before now.

Thank you!!! The dynamic between Matt, Kelly and Heather is probably the one that I want to see explored the most and above absolutely everything else the show might throw at us. There is so much potential there, in my opinion. So much 'stuff' to cover, so many things left unsaid. A STORYTELLING GOLDMINE, IN OTHER WORDS!

And I'll probably fic it again because I don't think the show is going there any time soon :)

WOE.

Thank you so much for reading and commenting!!
