This one is for oxoniensis, because I was power-reading all her episode posts and I got this overwhelming urge to start writing this fic immediately.

(Here via oxoniensis's rec.)

I love the backstory you've created here, the way their friendship might've been. If the show won't give it, I'm glad that fanfic writers will :D

“You’re in a mood,” Severide said with a scowl and brought one hand up, gripped tight at the back of Matt’s neck and pulled until he was resting the top of his head against the side of Severide’s own. “Don’t be so sure the world will beat them down, Matt,” he said, soft and sure against the other man’s hair. “We grew up to be superheroes. So can they.”

“You don’t think the world takes more than it gives?” Matt asked him, unsure now despite knowing all the things the world had taken from him.

“No,” Severide said and curled his fingers in the short hairs on the back of Matt’s neck. “Not even a little bit.”
Such a nice image and the casual physical intimacy between them and comfort/reassurance from Severide is really lovely.

Mmmmm, your icon is lovely.

Also, I totally recognized your name - I think we've talked a bit in oxoniensis's comments before!

Thank you so much for the awesome love! I really think that Kelly & Matt had to have been so much closer, before, before Darden's death split them up. I wish the show would hint at it more, but fanfic is always there to save the day.

That made my day, thank you, darling!

Yes, I remember that! About that lovely bit you wrote about Kelly getting up in the night to soothe baby Wesley by talking about technical firefighter things and when that first part of it happened on the show. That storyline was so short-lived but at least we got that.
