#Muse: Olivia Benson

[thebestdefence]

@gentlencte (Elliot) continued from [x]

Liv had been stood looking out of the windows from across the room when she spoke to Elliot, with her arms half crossed and half wrapped around herself.

She wanted to talk to him. There were so many things to say, so many things that had happened in her life. In both of their lives, most likely. Where was she supposed to start?

"Elliot..." Liv began before hesitating with a sigh. Unsure of just where to begin. It had been years. "There's so much to say and talk about. Friends, losses... shootings, kidnappings, hostage situations, attempted... attacks. And that's just for me. Then there's you. Your life and..." She looked away from him and back out of the window. Breathing in through the nose to steady herself.

"So much time has passed, I don't know where to begin..."

Most likely to be a federal agent during the Prohibition era or against it...

Oh this is a good one:

Most likely to be a Federal Agent during the prohibition ?? That's a tough one.

Olivia Benson has a penchant for nailing the tough cases. It would not surprise me, if the Feds wanted to use her talents for a task-force; even if it is anti-alcohol related. She is occasionally known to employ drastic measures to see that a case sticks.

Talia Bishop is excellent at enforcing even the laws she doesn't necessarily like. Drinking wouldn't necessarily be something she agrees with banning, but she could see the laws uses and reasoning behind the banning.

Lucy Chen will follow orders in the same vein. If Bradford is not looking over her shoulder, she MAY -- and I do mean MAY- look over her shoulder and let a person off with a stern warning. After all, we all mess up at some point or other and with two psychologist parents, she'd recognize that drinking is often a cry for help. So Chen would most likely give off resources to the caught individual.

Bonus:

Most likely to be a SMUGGLER during the Prohibition Era

Qi'ra. Thriving under crime-bosses on the streets has made her an excellent entrapreneurial spirit who would be looking to appease her guardian's debts by any means possible. That means flouting the Feds means virtually nothing to her. At least, not when failure to smuggle alcoholic products could result in PAIN for her person.

My Screencaps & Edits

[thebestdefence]

Nick was about to bite back at Elliot when the other man moved back to Liv's computer. Brow furrowing as the other spoke, he quickly moved over to look at the screen. Leaning one hand on her desk as he leant in. Looking over the area that Elliot was referring to. A slight nod of his head whilst chewing the inside of his lip. His own thoughts returning to what Lewis could be doing to Liv at that moment.

So many scenarios were running through Nick's mind and his fingers began gripping tightly at the edge of Liv's desk. What if they got there and they'd just missed them, having left for somewhere else? What if they got there and Liv was already...

Nick swallowed down hard to smother the feeling that came with that thought before breathing in deeply through his nose. He couldn't afford to think that. Not when she was still out there.

"We don't want him to hear helicopters and be spooked off somewhere else? Not until there's enough round there to stop him escapin'. We need to get down there and fast before he does something..."

Liv inhaled sharply and grimaced as Lewis roughly grabbed her face. Doing her best to close her mouth off to the pills and booze but unable to stop it when he squeezed her face. She glared at him with disgust, wondering how long it would take for that amount of alcohol and pills to take effect. She didn't know the amount he had given her or whether not it was a dangerous amount with life threatening consequences.

Eyes closing, she ignored the thoughts and did her best to stay calm as the door slammed. Trying to come up with some kind of plan even as her thoughts began to dull at the edges. Head hitting against the door slightly as the car pulled away.

Her squad had to be searching for her.

They had to be...

Elliot looked to Nick “do you have a better idea?” He questioned instantly until furrowing his brows at the thought of something Nick had just said. “His parents… are they home?” He questioned quickly. “He must be near that area. He would go to where he knows best, where he can get away with this for as long as possible” he stated and ran over to Liv’s computer, searching up the area. “Here… he must be around this area… we should send nypd and helicopters out. Check all the neighbours and see if they’ve seen anyone” he said quickly.

Elliot knew that so many detectives would be on the case, which meant there would be a lot of help. “We should go look around… I’m sure he must have broken into a house somewhere around that area” he stated and sighed, not wanting to imagine what Lewis would have done.

William sniggered, grabbing hold of Liv’s cheeks and forcing pills down her throat, making her take them with vodka. “Drink it up” he stated and kept sniggering at the sight, making sure she would be far too drowsy to process anything and pass out. “Last stop, my love” Lewis said with a smirk, rubbing his finger down her cheek before closing the back door. He climbed into his car and drove off to his last destination where he would torture her and hopefully kill her.

Musings of a binge addict...

Now that I've finally finished watching all Law&Order Organized Crime seasons // all the last SVU episodes and am up to date like everyone else, I feel strangely bereft... 🫥

The addictive (and best) part about binging a series, just like a fanfic, is that you plunge yourself head over heals into a parallel universe and let your imagination live and thrive there as long as the show goes on, and get used to it. Whenever you swim to the surface, so to speak, to breath a fresh breath of reality, it is only to dive further inside and continue the ride. And then you arrive at the shore eventually, and either the series/fic is over and done with, which is painful but alright because you get closure - or you are caught in a waiting queue, looking for the next episode and waiting and waiting, not knowing what is happening to your new "imaginary friends" who you used to "follow up with" every day, and terribly missing them.😒

That's how I feel with OC and SVU now - sitting and waiting for Elliott and Ayanna and Olivia and all of them to reappear at the horizon (with OC not even clear yet when the next season will be filmed) and feeling "left out", as strange as it sounds. After having been immersed in what seemed to be one neverending ride (25 years and 2 series stretched over only a few months! Delicious damnit) it's...sobering. With most episodes of the last years still too early to rewatch because I remember every frickin' detail... 😬

With SVU it is the old seasons now which I have still left out. I dread the day I will have gone through all of them. With OC though... 🤷🏻‍♀️ Any ideas for distraction?

Oh god....

why have I just, for the first time ever, gotten Amaro/Benson ship type feels?

I have NEVER shipped them before but the thought just came into my head and...

he's so protective of her in my head since she's his partner and I always just saw it as that.

But now..

uh oh....

[thebestdefence]

Olivia felt a warmth spread through her when he chuckled and started to approach. Inhaling through her nose in surprise as he went for a hug, something they never did in her office but quickly wrapped her arms around him in return. Closing her eyes, she held him close and smiled against his shoulder.

Holding him made her realise just how much she had missed him.

She chuckled against his coat at his comment about the company in Italy before sighing when he pulled back. Wishing for the contact to continue. Olivia's arms drew back but her hands remained on his sides without her realising it.

When Rafael commented on how she looked exhausted, Olivia's eyebrow's raised in mock offence before she breathed in deeply and glanced back down her desk and the files still out on it. Sighing, she chewed her lip and turned her head back towards him whilst thinking.

She had paid Lucy extra to stay the entire night as she hadn't been sure just how much work she had to get done. And she had gotten a good start on it. Enough that she could probably get it done amongst other work over the next few days if she were to call it a night now.

At the mention of Forlini's, Olivia was drawn back out of her thoughts and looked him in the eyes. Moving on her feet slightly, her hands shifted and she finally realised that she still had them on her sides and that his hands were on her hips.

A colour came to her cheeks and she breathed in and out slowly before smiling.

"Forlini's sounds... perfect."

Rafael had been certain that she was taking stock of him, making sure he had all his parts as she was momentarily stunned into silence. He chuckled softly as he headed across the office floor to the side of her desk. As her work colleague, he would have kept it strictly professional and sat in the chair across from her desk, but they were no longer colleagues. So he abandoned all formality and moved to her and pulled her into a hug.

"The food was good, the weather good, but the company was lacking," he said softly, wanting nothing more than for this hug to last for a bit longer. He pulled back, hands going to her hips and holding her so that he could get a good look at her. "You on the otherhand look exhausted." He often thought that she worked herself too hard. Now he could voice that as it would have been hypocritical before as he worked just as hard as she had and kept long hours too.

"Are you finished here?" He nodded toward the paperwork and open laptop on her desk. "Can I take you to dinner? Buy you a drink?" He could only hope that she wouldn't turn him down. He knew that she would have to get home to Noah soon, but he held onto that little bit of hope that seeing him would cause her to push that back at least an hour or so.

"Forlini's has been calling my name since the plane wheels touched down at LaGuardia." He still had his hands on her hips without realizing it. It somehow felt natural to be this informal and close with her. They were friends after all, but this felt like so much more. He felt his cheeks flush when he finally let himself admit that he wouldn't mind if things between them changed now that they wouldn't have as much red tape to deal with.

"My treat," he offered, wanting so desperately for her to agree to go out to dinner and a drink with him.

"You're saying the fire is suspicious? So why not call arson?"

@lcvelxss

Evangeline Fox didn't know how she had gotten here. It wasn't the first time, but the kiss of darkness put her heart on edge. Thrumming. Beating. Dancing. She was lost to where she was. And shadows seemed to scare her. But there was a woman with a softness in her steel that was making the pink haired girl linger closer to her. Her voice tight. "could I ask for some assistance?"

[timeguardiansarchive]

Stabler's eyes have always been several ocean fathoms deep and far too perilously warm to avoid. Even now, even dazzling with tinges of unbridled ire. Liv knows she must be careful, or she too, may drown in them.

She preemptively reaches out and grabs the suspects shoulder, just in case he'd get the bright idea to try and flee or fight.

"You heard the man, short-stop." Liv deliberately provokes. She allows Stabler to handle the man while she opens the back door of the unit. "What? Why look so scared? If you're innocent you have nothing to fear. If you're guilty, you're going to be sent up the river so long they'll put you on display at some museum."

"Tell dis bitch to leave me alone, dude." The wanna-be hip man rattles through his teeth. "I didn't do NOTHING!" The man protests.

"That's Detective Bitch to you-" Liv corrects, pushing his head down so that he clambers into the back seat. "You know, it's a long ways back to the station, El. I could take all the jammed up roads-- unless he wants to start talking."

"Want me to drive?" She teasingly prods, opening her hands for El's keys.

Elliot rocks back on his heels, hands on his own hips. Stabler's own eyes drift to meet hers. He nods, reaching for his handcuffs as he approached the guy. "C'mon let's go." He spoke, slapping the handcuffs onto his wrists.

"How's the baby?" Was the first question out of Liv's mouth, even though she is almost suspects that Rollins is tired of hearing it.

The relief of Rollins's return is evidentiary upon every corner of Benson's face. "I'm glad you're back, Detective. Life and work without you, it was like trying to manage without my right arm; nearly impossible." A gentle hand clasped over her dearest friend's shoulder. "Finn and I tried our best to hold down the fort but we still got swamped with new cases. This one needs immediate attention." She hands the manila folder over to Rollins. "What do you say? Want to come with me? I might even buy you lunch. As if Liv even needed to sweeten the pot.

"Don't get me wrong, maternity leave was... it was great, but I missed being here, helping ya'll."
