#Clair Kincaid

[lilborealis]

I’m rewatching law and order and literally one of my favorite things are Jack McCoy’s reactions to like ridiculous defenses or lawyers like “BFFR” and some shit like that

He such an old man I love him

Anyways Claire Kincaid deserved so much better

(UGH I MISS THEM SO MUCH)

E.A.D.A. JACK McCOY & A.D.A. CLAIRE KINCAID LAW & ORDER | 6.14 "Custody" ↳ merry xmas, @mccoy-kincaid! ✨

Turns out watching Laws & Orders from 1994 is depressing not because they're so out of touch but rather because we haven't made any progress at all.

OG Law & Order seasons 1-20 are on Hulu btw

On Sept. 21, 1994, Claire Kincaid walked into Jack McCoy's office, and a delicious ship was born.

In honor of the 30th anniversary of that glorious first meeting, and in a furious bid of self promotion, here's a roundup of the fics I've published celebrating this frustrating, maddening, heartbreaking couple.

being 30 years late to the party

and missing Claire Kincaid sooo much💔 I’ll never get over her and Jack’s relationship and I’ll never get over how they killed her.

Something I find amusing again and again as I fangirl about L&O episodes:

After "Aftershock," Claire isn't dead. She doesn't die until the season 9 episode "Sideshow."

Now, once you see that episode, it's clear that she's been dead for a while, probably since the car accident that ended season six.

But, we the audience don't have that knowledge, only that she's gone from the show (and I do wonder if the actors knew of Claire's fate before "Sideshow" or if they found out when we did). Even Jill Hennessy didn't know that was planned until a friend watched the show and told her.

So, between "Aftershock" and "Sideshow," Claire Kincaid exists in this limbo state, both alive and dead.

Schrödinger's Claire, if you will.
