Kelly Severide and Grace Everly became instant friends upon her arrival at Firehouse 51. In fact, they would probably be together if it weren't for the fact the Everly was already engaged. But would everything really fall into place if there was no ring on Grace's finger? Can the duo make it in a world full of vengeful ex's, surprise drop-offs, and domestication? A story of love, lust, and desperate times calling for desperate measures, A Spark of Hope follows the story of one of Firehouse 51's most passionate romances. *This story does not follow the show exactly. Shay passed a year or two before Grace gets to 51, Dawson and Casey are married, Louie has already come and gone, and most of the calls will be ones that I made up. Thank you for your understanding!

Sunny, I don't want you on that list. I don't want to do that to you. I'm not the saint you think I am." She dropped her eyes down to her hands. Her fingertips traced a scar along the back of her hand. "And you think I am?" Severide said nothing. Sunny shifted around on the bench and leaned against his shoulder. "We have a lot more in common than you think, Kelly Severide." DISCLAIMER I do not own any of the Chicago Fire, Chicago PD, and Chicago Fire characters. I only have the rights to my characters.
