As the title says... One Shots. Upstead mainly, or at least I don't see myself writing anything else in the near future. Might be cute and fluffy at times, might get hot, might get dangerous. Might involve Upstead dating, might involve Upstead not dating. Might involve S8 Upstead, might involve future Upstead, might involve past Upstead. Honestly, we'll see. ---- No fixed update schedule, I'll just drop random one shots whenever I get the time to write them. As usual, I might majorly edit them later, so be kind. All rights reserved, have fun reading! I'd love to hear your opinions, so please comment or vote if you like... Apart from the One Chicago characters / cast, the contents of this book are a work of fiction. Any resemblance to other real persons, living or dead, or to other stories is purely coincidental.

Hailey is a law student at Central Chicago University, and when she's not studying, she's working - two jobs, so she can afford living away from her family and be independent of her abusive father. Jay came home from Afghanistan less than a year ago, shortly before his mother died. To be honest, he never really came home though. Being back in Chicago is hell, and while he refuses to talk or seek help, he doesn't care enough to hide it from anyone. When Hailey meets Jay on a drunk night out, she doesn't think she'll ever see him again. She doesn't want to, either. She likes to keep to herself. She doesn't know his past, and he doesn't know hers. She doesn't know how much he's struggling. And little does she know he's Will Halstead's younger brother... This is a story of what might have happened - if Upstead met years earlier, long before they joined the police. ---- Updates every Monday (approximately)! This is the very first version and as usual, I'll majorly edit the whole book once it's done, so be kind. All rights reserved, have fun reading!

It had been almost a decade since Jay had first noticed the drastic and sudden change of attitude coming at him from his niece Olivia, and still to this present day Jay is convinced she doesn't like him, which didn't make sense because for the first three years of Olivia's life she would often choose her uncle Jay over her own parents. Jay just misses being able to share a room with her, to talk to her, and he would do anything to fix what had gone wrong all those years ago - if only he knew what had happened in the first place. So Jay finally says that he's had enough and takes the matters into his hands, on a quest to gain back the strong relationship he and his niece once had. But in order to do that, Jay might need to reveal the one thing he had been keeping a secret all this time, the one thing he swore he would take to the grave. - mostly a Halstead Brothers and Upstead fic, with manstead scattered in quite frequently -

Hailey and Jay had been married a month and were settling into that life well. There were still a few bumps they experienced as they grew accustomed to the new change but like most of the bumps they had come across in the past, they got over them without a problem. Accompanied with their two and a half-year-old daughter Macie currently in the midst of the so-called "terrible twos", the two of them have their hands full, especially alongside their demanding jobs and with Jay up for a possible promotion in the near future. But one hurdle gets flung in their direction without so much as a warning, one they weren't ready for as of yet - if at all - and it throws the routine they had built out of proportion entirely. - written in Hailey's POV - -- prequel to 'A Love Like Ours' --

"My place?" Jay asks, breaking the silence. We discussed this before, jokingly, Jay and Vanessa and I. We said that if we were to get quarantined, Jay and I would do it at his place, so Vanessa could stay at mine. We were just fooling around, and I didn't expect it to actually happen. Except it did. And I don't have a better plan than to nod my head at his question and watch the small smile that tugs at the corner of his lips. What the hell did I get myself into? ---- Note: This story takes place before Chicago PD 8x03 happens (rather somewhere pre Season 8). No fixed update schedule, but I'll likely be updating once or twice a week! This is the very first version and as usual, I might majorly edit the whole book once it's done, so be kind.
