One great fanfic could be about Casey and Dawson working together on a particularly difficult rescue mission. They face many challenges and in the process, their bond deepens. Their teamwork and mutual respect shine through as they save lives.
Another theme is professional growth. Fanfics might show how they learn from each other and improve their skills as firefighters. For example, Casey might teach Dawson a new technique for handling a certain type of fire, and Dawson could share her insights on dealing with victims.
The plot might involve Dawson being initially scared to tell Casey about the pregnancy. Once she does, Casey has to deal with his own insecurities about being a father. As the pregnancy progresses, they could face criticism from some people in their lives who think they're too young or not ready. But they stay strong together, with Dawson relying on the support of the female firefighters and Casey getting advice from his male colleagues. In the end, they look forward to the birth of their baby with excitement and a bit of nervousness.
Their relationship will likely become more intimate. Casey will be more protective of Dawson, and they'll have to communicate more about their future plans. They'll be more focused on each other and the baby rather than just their own individual lives.
There might be a fanfic that focuses on their early days at the firehouse. It could explore how they first met, the initial impressions they had of each other, and how they gradually became the close friends and reliable colleagues that we see in the show. Maybe there were some misunderstandings at first that added drama to their relationship development.
Some fanfics focus on the challenges they face as individuals and how they support each other through those. For example, Casey dealing with his past traumas and Brett being there for him, or vice versa. There are also stories that explore their friendship evolving into something more romantic, with all the cute and angsty moments that come with it.
In a fanfic where Dawson gets hurt in Chicago Fire, it could start with a routine call that turns dangerous. Let's say there's a gas leak explosion and Dawson is caught in the blast. Her colleagues would be in a state of shock and panic. They'd quickly try to assess her injuries and get her to the hospital. At the hospital, there could be a waiting game as they all hope for her recovery. Her injury might also make her question her future in the firefighting profession. Some of her friends might encourage her to keep going while others might be more hesitant, thinking she's been through enough. This conflict among her friends and her own internal struggle could form the basis of the fanfic.
In fanfic about Casey being injured in Chicago Fire, he might face various challenges. Fellow firefighters could rally around him. Maybe they'd struggle to keep the team spirit high while Casey is recovering. For example, Severide might take on extra responsibilities and feel the pressure.
One great Brett and Casey fan fiction story could be about them handling a difficult rescue together outside of the normal calls at Firehouse 51. It might explore their growing relationship as they rely on each other's skills during the high - stress situation.
One possibility is that Casey's injury makes him more determined. He could start training secretly while still recovering to prove he can come back stronger. This would show his strong will.
