It was just another normal day until she received a call that flushed her with regrets... 

When a tragedy occurred back in Chicago, 790.5 miles away in New York, Erin Lindsay receives a call that nobody wants to receive. Upon receiving the call, she immediately rushed to catch the next flight back home to Chicago, trying to keep her emotions at bay. 

Awaiting back at home is the unit that she has called family for years, who still misses the presence of the petite, badass brunette. When she arrives in Chicago, she quickly realizes how bad the situation is. 

As she navigates and maneuvers herself through the tragedy and dealing with it, she continues to hide the biggest secret - a secret she has kept all these years. 

How will the tragedy affect all their lives? Will she finally spill the secret or continue to hide it? What does the future look like for Erin Lindsay? Will she come back to Chicago, or continue to stay in New York? 

NOTE:
this is set at the present time of the show, so a bit after season 7

Inseparable by bookworm_2005

"𝐻𝑒𝑙𝑙𝑜, 911." "𝐻𝑖, 𝐼'𝑑 𝑙𝑖𝑘𝑒 𝑡𝑜 𝑟𝑒𝑝𝑜𝑟𝑡 𝑎 𝑚𝑖𝑠𝑠𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑝𝑒𝑟𝑠𝑜𝑛." Set in the end of July 2020, one simple call could uncover a secret and change the lives of the intelligence unit forever. •~~~~~~•~~~~~~•~~~~~~• Side Note: When I initially wrote this 2020 was still months away, and so we're just going to pretend that Covid 19 has not affected this Chicago Universe because rewriting this would be a headache, especially with some of it in New York. Warning : Some Chapters might get a little disturbing for some people. I'm sorry if some information is incorrect. I've tried to get it as Factaully correct as I can. Disclaimer: The plot is all mine however the shows, settings and most of the characters are not, they belong to Dick Wolf and the rest of the Chicago PD team.

Linstead - That's what partners are for by erinjay4ever

A story from the beginning linstead and what it would be like if Erin hadn't left chicago. Se você não fala fala inglês veja a original em português, minha outra obra. Ps: I don't have any characters, they are all from NBC, One Chicago and Law & Order: SVU. And I read a lot, it may be that I have similar stories with others so I hope you will let me know so that I can give the due credits or delete if you prefer. Just review. 😃

Linstead - Always by erinjay4ever

They once promised to always have each other's back but destiny does not always go as planned. Now almost four years later, each one living their life in a different state, fate forces them to work together. How will this end for them? How are they going to deal with this reunion and the feelings of years ago? Can they overcome the past? Can they at least become friends again?

𝑴𝒆𝒂𝒏𝒕 𝑻𝒐 𝑩𝒆 | ✔ by Cuideigin

This is a story where Erin and Jay get to know each other differently. Jay has just come back from Afghanistan and Erin is working in the Intelligence Unit. The two get to know each other through a random event and maybe more will develop from it. I do not own any of the original characters!

Aftermath by jktwiw

This Linstead story picks up after 301. Erin is struggling to come to terms with the events of the last few months. Can she move forward and build a life without Nadia? Can Jay open up about his own past and show Erin what real love looks like? This is a multi chapter story. (I do not own Chicago PD or any of its characters)

You Are My Sunshine by OneMore_Episode

"You are my sunshine, my only sunshine You make me happy when skies are gray" Emma Spencer is the new detective in Intelligence after Erin's departure. With a smile that rarely fades from her face and her good mood she wants to help as many as she can, and especially a guy with green eyes. But can he let her in? Can he trust someone he doesn't know and show his feeling? And what happens when it is revealed that she herself had a difficult past? Who is she really and what has happened to her? How does she know Herrmann and why she trembles when people argue? This is a story that shows what Jay's life would be like if he had someone by his side whenever he needed it. !Sorry for any mistakes. English is not my native language. I do not own any of the Chicago Universe characters,only my OCs!

What happens when he meets other people with PTSD? And what happens when his attention is attracted to a particular girl, who finds it more difficult than him to talk about why she is there? Who is she and what will happen when she convinces Jay to make their list? Can they help each other overcome their fears? ! Sorry for any mistakes. English is not my native language.

Rangers; Jay Halstead (3) by _urfavereader

[season 7 & 8 of Chicago P.D.] The newly married Spencer Grey's life was seemingly perfect. Until it wasn't. While a life threatening bacteria plagues its way through Chicago, Spencer finds out something that will change her life forever and alter her marriage with Jay. It will compromise her job which she works so hard for everyday.Nearly losing the love of her life almost pushed Spencer over the edge. Can she come back from it? CPD Intelligence. The most elite unit in CPD. The unit everyone wants to be in. Intelligence is the place people work their whole lives to get to. Everybody wants the job, but nobody knows the truth. They don't know how the job manages to weave its way into your heart and tear down your life from the inside out until it's too late to stop it. Everybody wants the job, but without the pain. When Spencer agreed to transfer to intelligence, she wasn't signing up for all the blood, sweat, tears and pain it came with. But hey, it's a package deal. Nobody is every truly a clean cop, are they? If you work under Hank Voight, you're somewhat dirty. Working in intelligence means that sometimes you have to get your hands a little bloody. A little dirty. It means that sometimes you have to cross lines. Sometimes you have to put aside your morals. Sometimes you have to flip that switch that controls your humanity and turn it off. If you don't do that, the job will eat you up and ruin you. But maybe that's why that select group of people live for that job so much. They're the ones that learned to love the pain. They're the warriors who make chicago what it is. They're the ones who built that city. They were born for it. [DISCLAIMER] I did not invent one Chicago, nor do I claim to have. I do not own the original One Chicago cast who are played by their respectable actors. I only own the rights to my independent storylines and my own characters I have created. All rights for the creation of One Chicago go to Dick Wolf. Jay Halstead xF OC
