Chicago Fire is an incredibly popular tv show with 10 seasons and more to come.
It focuses on Chicago’s Firehouse 51 and all of the drama that occurs there.
While firefighting is the main premise of the show, it has become hugely popular due, in part, to the dynamic relationships that are part of the show.
Romantic relationships, familial relationships, friendships, and workplace relationships are all a huge part of this show.
Fans of the show have taken to writing fanfiction about these relationships, as well as other aspects of the show, and some of them have quite a following.
1. The Light at the End of the Tunnel
The first Chicago fanfiction that we are going to look at is certainly one of the most popular.
It has over 66,000 hits and thousands of raving comments.
At nearly 155,000 words, this story is quite the commitment, but it is well worth it.
The author is a phenomenal writer who has a great sense of the characters and how they operate. It seems like you are actually watching an episode of the show.
This story mainly focuses on Casey’s head injury and how it effects him, as well as all of his teammates at 51.

For those of us who love a good slow burn, friends-to-lovers trope, this will certainly be a story that you will enjoy.
There is a bit of adult content in this story, and it does deal with death and a few other dark topics, but it is all around a delightful story that will leave you wanting more.
It is another long fanfiction at around 225,000 words. Don’t worry, though; its fans report that you won’t feel like you are reading that much.

The author does a great job of telling an alternate universe story while still keeping true to the show.
3. Family Portraits
In true Chicago Fire fashion, this story also focuses on Brett and Casey.
This story is actually many small snippets that do not follow a single plot.
They involve all of the same characters, but they are just a small glimpse into different parts of their lives.
It is very easy to enjoy this author’s writing, as well as to jump around and read something that interests you without committing to the entire collection, as it is quite long.
There are many different snippets here that really give meaning to the title of the work.
Readers can enjoy snippets from Brett and Casey’s dating life all the way through their children becoming parents themselves.
It is truly many small portraits of their family.
Family is the main focus of this story, so there is not a lot of interaction with other characters from the television show, nor is there a large amount of workplace drama to read about.
That does not mean it is any less enjoyable, however.

This fanfiction also gives the reader a glimpse of life before Chicago Fire takes place.
We get to see childhood memories, in addition to the present day.

Another fun aspect of this story is the existence of Brett and Casey’s children.

9. The Golden Age
This Chicago Fire fanfiction is a continuation of the universe that exists in the Good/Right/Real stories.
It is written by the same author, and has many of the same elements that are appealing about that story.
The difference here, however, is that this is a collection of short stories.
They add so much depth to the existing universe, and the author has done a fantastic job of incorporating so many characters and relationships into their universe.
Most of these stories play off of episodes in the series, but not all of them.

10. Just Coffee
The final story that we will look at is perhaps the most controversial.
It is very popular, with over 24,000 hits, but it is not the most well-received.
Though it is well written, there are mentions of and scenes that include sexual assault, which can be very triggering for some readers.
The author writes from the perspective of Brett and how she is dealing with the aftermath of being assaulted.
She is fearful and tense, which is to be expected, and she takes solace in a few of her coworkers at the station.
Of course, there is a bit of Brett and Casey romance in this story, but it takes a bit of reading to get to it.
If you enjoy a slow burn, this might be a great choice for you.
