After General Anesthesia

Alex Cabot x Casey Novak x fem!reader Warnings: hospital times, fluffity fluff, mentions of sex, poly representation so if you're not on board with that byeeeeee, some explicit language Word Count: 1.3k

Summary: You wake up in the hospital, groggy from the anesthesia, to two of the most beautiful women you've ever seen doting on you. Imagine your surprise when it turns out you're dating. Both of them.

Your ears and nose woke up before the rest of you. The beeping of various monitors, that sickly-clean alcohol smell. You knew before you’d opened your eyes that you were in a hospital. You’d spent too much time in hospitals with your brother not to know. You blinked against the fluorescent lights, wincing at a sudden, sharp pain in your leg.

Your head still felt fuzzy, and you didn’t remember why you were here. But your confused thoughts were interrupted as one of the most stunning  women you’d ever seen in your life rushed at you, kissing your face, cupping your cheeks, and grasping your fingers in hers.

“Honey, she’s awake!” Alex called to Casey, her glasses slipping down her nose as she smiled softly at you, worried hands fluttering over your face, your arms, your body.

Casey quickly occupied the space next to Alex, leaning down and holding the palm of your hand to her flushed face. “I swear to god, Y/N, if you ever scare us like that again…”

You were dreaming. You had to be dreaming. Because a hot woman fawning over you in a hospital bed was unbelievable enough. Two hot women?  That was the stuff of dreams, not reality. You had no idea who they were.

The doctors had told Casey and Alex to expect some temporary memory loss and confusion after the general anesthesia. They’d told you, too, but of course you didn’t remember.

Your words felt heavy as they fell out of your mouth, jumbled like marbles. “What’s going on?”

“You broke your ankle, sweetheart, remember?” Alex responded, scooting her chair closer to the bed so she could sit next to you and hold your hand. “But it went septic. You were very sick.”

“Yes, and you scared the hell out of me,” Casey finished, grasping your face and planting a firm kiss on your forehead before sitting down, too. She leaned over the bed railing to rest her head on your thigh, looking up at you.

You’d never felt so flustered and confused in your life. Two women. Two women holding your hand!? Touching you!?  But as confused as you were, all the questions in your brain were drowned out by one, single, all-consuming thought: so, so beautiful. You felt like you’d been hit head-on by a dump truck of hormones and emotions.

“You two…” you started, words slurring like you were drunk, “...are so pretty. Like, wow.”

They shared a confused glance as you continued to ramble.

“Please tell me you’re single?” you asked, trying to wink and blinking instead. “At least one of you?”

A smile tugged at the corner of Alex’s mouth, and Casey was barely holding in her laughter.

“Wait, wait, wait,” you said, holding up a hand and gesticulating wildly. “Let me try something. I’ve been working on this.”

Casey’s shoulders had started to shake with laughter, and Alex’s eyes sparkled with mirth.

You hit them with your very best finger guns. “Hey, girl. Are you a savings account? Because I’m accruing interest in you.”

At this, Alex and Casey burst out laughing, falling into one another, equal parts delighted by your post-surgery high and relieved that you were really and truly going to be okay.

“Wait! I’ve got more!” You waggled your eyebrows at Alex, and the way she looked at you, you knew–even in your doped-up, memory-loss state–that there was no need for pick-up lines here. She was already yours. Hook, line, and sinker. But since you had it prepped: “Hey, girl. It’s just you and me in the sheets tonight. The spreadsheets! Let’s budget, baby!”

Casey was laughing so hard she was snorting, and Alex was gingerly wiping tears from under eyes, trying to smudge her mascara. You felt like you were on cloud nine. If you could do nothing else in your life except make these two women laugh, you’d die happy.

“Come on,” you needled, smiling ear to ear. “Look at me, I’m adorable. I’m charming. You know you want to give me a chance.”

Alex coughed, trying to pull herself together, and Casey leaned down again, placing her chin on your leg and staring up at you lovingly.

“Y/N, you know we’re dating, right?”

Your eyebrows shot up and you stared at her. Her auburn hair that looked soft as the surface of water. Her eyes. Her body. “Me and you!? Are dating!?”

“No, we’re all dating,” Casey explained, gesturing between the three of you. “Me and you and Alex.”

You glanced at Alex to confirm and she nodded, smiling cheekily.

Your jaw dropped as you took in this new information. You put a hand on your head as if this was all just too much for you. And, in your current state, it kind of was.

“Me!?” you asked, glancing between them. “You’re… both of you!?”

They nodded, grinning and trying not to laugh.

“Holy shit,” you said, spurring another fit of laughter from the chairs next to your bed. “This is crazy!”

You sat and thought for a few minutes, mouth gaping.

“You alright, love?” Alex asked, running her thumb back and forth across your wrist.

You leaned toward them, as if to share a secret, then gasped sharply at the pain.

“Ow!”

“Jesus, Y/N! Lay back!” Casey complained, trying to sound stern but really just sounding worried. She stood and gently shoved your body back down into the pillows. “I think we broke her brain, Alex.”

“Psst!” you hissed at them, your impaired brain feeling inexplicably salty about being left out of their conversation.

“What, you dork!?” Casey exclaimed.

You squinted conspiratorially at them. “Do we… you know?...”

Casey and Alex swiveled their heads to look at each other, then collectively burst out laughing again.

“Oh, yeah,” Casey assured you.

“We sure do,” Alex added.

“All three!?”

They nodded at you, still chuckling.

“Wow. Jesus fucking Christ. Am I dreaming right now!?”

“Believe it or not, no,” Casey said, watching as your eyes fluttered between open and shut. You needed to sleep. She could tell.

She ran her thumb across your eyebrows and down the bridge of your nose, back and forth, back and forth. A surefire way to put you to sleep. Alex and Casey knew all your tricks.

You exhaled deeply, trying so hard to keep your eyes open.

“Go to sleep, baby,” Casey whispered lovingly. “When you wake up you’ll remember.”

You mumbled as you drifted between sleeping and waking. “I’m not tired. I can’t be tired, I have two girlfriends to take care of.”

Alex and Casey smiled at one another. Alex stood and wrapped her arms around Casey’s waist, planting a kiss on her cheek as they watched you fall asleep.

“Two girlfriends,” you continued, your words losing volume and speed. “The nicest, smartest, prettiest girlfriends. So pretty. So many boobs.”

“God, I wish we’d recorded this,” Casey whispered, placing a soft kiss on your cheek before leaning back in her chair.

Alex dropped her phone onto Casey’s lap, the screen showing an active voice recording.

Casey fist-pumped silently, pulling Alex down by the collar for a quick kiss.

“I love you,” Casey said, unlocking Alex’s phone to send herself the recording.

“I love you, too,” Alex chuckled. She foraged in her bag by the door before pulling her chair close to you, propping up a book with one hand and holding yours with the other. “I love our girl, Case.”

“She’s something else, isn’t she?” Casey observed, smiling softly and shaking her head at your drugged, sleeping form. “How’d we get so lucky?”

“Pure, dumb luck,” Alex decided, flipping a page and absentmindedly rubbing the back of your hand.

Casey stood and stretched, then slumped onto the sorry excuse for a couch in the corner of the room, kicking off her shoes.

“I’m exhausted,” she groaned, pulling off one sock and then the other. “It’s a good thing we weren’t both out of town this weekend. I was up all night with her before she finally agreed to go to the hospital. Stubborn asshole.”

“Reminds me of someone else I know.”

“Shut up, Alex,” Casey protested, grinning, before throwing a sock at her.

“Why don’t you sleep?” Alex suggested, ignoring the sock on the floor next to her. “Get some rest, honey. I’ll wake you when she’s up again.”

Casey nodded and folded her arms over her chest, letting herself drift off, snoring softly as she always did and always swore she didn’t.

Alex set down her book and looked at her two sleepy girls, knowing there wasn’t a thing in the world she wouldn’t do for you and Casey.

“So fucking lucky,” she whispered, drawing your hand to her lips to kiss your knuckles.

Happy new year ❤️

So… do you still write for Alex Cabot? 🫣

If you do, would you mind if I send a request using the 100 smut dialogue prompt?

100) "Call me selfish, but I don't ever want anyone else to touch you."

Alex Cabot x fem!reader warnings: language, alcohol, mildly jealous alex, some smut. just a little drabble.

You’d invited Alex to join you and your friends tonight, but knowing just how much work she had to do, she politely declined but said she would meet you in a few hours to walk home with you. So you went out and had a great time with your friends, catching up on how times had changed, who was seeing someone new, basically any kind of gossip you could get your hands on. As any girl’s night out, the laughter and bright conversation had caught the eye of a group of guys who were out doing the same thing but also trying to hook up. While none of you were interested in that, you were interested in getting free drinks even if you had to flirt your way into them.

The guy who seemed to be most interested in you was James, and honestly, he wasn’t that bad. It was as if he caught on that it was kind of an act, that he wasn’t going to get anything out of you, especially when you bought a round of shots for the two of you. But he kept great conversation, told actually funny jokes and was decent company for the meantime. What you weren’t aware of was that Alex had entered the bar, lingering across the room as her eyes narrowed in your direction. She knew there was no threat, but she still felt something she didn’t like when his hand lingered on your forearm. She watched as he got a phone call, apologizing to you, saying what looked like goodnight and slipped out of the bar, then she picked up her phone and sent you a text. She watched again, a grin on her lips as you slid open the message, your brow furrowing before you glanced up around the bar, finally finding her across the room and making your way to her.

“Stalker much?” You greeted with a tease and she rolled her eyes.

“Would have hated to interrupt that.” She gestured towards where you’d been sitting and you laughed, leaning in to kiss her gently.

“Oh please. You would’ve loved putting him in his place.”

"Call me selfish, but I don't ever want anyone else to touch you." She murmured, her lips ghosting over yours as her hand wrapped around the back of your neck, tangling into your hair to pull you impossibly close.

“Yeah? And why is that?” You cocked a brow and she shot you a warning look.

“Because you know who you belong to.”

“You might have to remind me on that one…. I may have gotten distracted.”

“Oh don’t worry sweetheart.” Her lips finally met yours, lingering just long enough to get a taste of her that would leave you craving for the real thing before she pulled away, “by the time I’m done with you you won’t even remember your own name.”

Alex Cabot x Casey Novak x Reader SFW Fluff Alphabet

Big thanks to to @scealaiscoite for their SFW Poly Fluff Alphabet for the inspiration here!

a = affection Is anyone more overtly affectionate than the others? You are definitely the most outwardly affectionate. Not in a PDA sense, you just tend to be the most sentimental. You don't initiate physical touch a whole lot, but Alex and Casey both know you are down to cuddle at any time, and they take advantage of it often. Alex is the snugglier of the two, but Casey gets FOMO when you snuggle without her, so she'll jump in, too. b = bed What's the sleeping situation like? California King (no twin bed! no roommates!). Casey on the right, Alex on the left. You are forever the middle spoon because (a) you love it, (b) you're by far the smallest, and (c) both Casey and Alex can feel a bit smothered after a whole night of middle spoon-ing. c = comfort When someone's feeling down, how do the others look after them? When you're down, your self-esteem takes a hard hit, so Alex and Casey do their best to be extra reassuring. When Alex is down, you and Casey do your best to make her feel important and to distract her. Nice clothes, expensive dinner, all your attention all night. When Casey's down, she needs to take a fucking break. The problem is that she never wants to. You and Alex usually have to take her phone and laptop away and force her to relax. Bubble bath, takeout, snuggles, the works.

d = dates What do dates look like? Who usually plans them, and are they individual or a group affair? You take turns planning, but also enjoy the occasional spontaneous date. Everyone is always invited, but not everyone always goes. You have lots of things you like to do all together, like dinner and a movie or a weekend at the beach or a trip to the farmer's market. But there are things you do in pairs, too. For example, you and Alex love classical music, so you've got season tickets to the NY Phil, but Casey's ears would explode if you made her go. Alex will attend a sports event with you and Casey once in a blue moon, but mostly it's just you two. Alex and Casey love dancing, from ballroom to clubbing and everything in between. You are a truly awful dancer and have a really hard time in loud, crowded environments, so you usually send them on their way and enjoy an evening to yourself.

e = events Who drags everyone else to their family's and friends' events? When it comes to family, you do all the dragging. Casey's parents live in the city, so you see them at least a few times a month, and Alex doesn't talk to her dad (her mom died when she was 17). You're very close to your family, and you're the only one who has siblings and nieces and nephews. Christmas at your family's is a given, and Alex and Casey are 100% there for it. But friend events? Those are all Casey. Alex will drag you to one, too, mostly out of obligation, but Casey genuinely enjoys going out and grabbing drinks with friends and will convince you both to go with her sometimes.

f = fights Are fights something that happen often? How are they resolved? Of course you fight. Everyone fights. But the fights are usually civil and logical and respectful. You've got twice as many relationships to maintain in a triad, so direct communication is a priority for you all. Casey and Alex have had to learn how to tone down their "lawyer-ness" during arguments, though. At first, they'd sometimes fight you so hard–like they were in court–that they'd end up making you cry. They always felt awful and backpedaled real quick. They're a lot gentler with conflicts now.

g - getting together How did you all get together? Alex and Casey met at work, a slow-burn career romance. By the time you came along, they'd already been together for several years. They'd discussed polyamory before and, while neither was necessarily opposed, neither one of them had anyone else they wanted to date either. So it was very much a we'll cross that bridge when we come to it situation. They came to the bridge when you moved to the city and joined Casey's rec softball league. It was Casey who fell for you first, Casey who started inviting you out to lunch with her and Alex after softball games, Casey who cautiously, gently asked Alex how she'd feel about her dating you. To which Alex said, Yeah, of course, if it'll make you happy. But I think I kind of want to date her, too. Can we all date? Do you think she'd be into that? It turns out that, yes, you were into that.

h = hobbies Do any of you share hobbies or passions? How do you include your other partner(s) in them? There's a foundational understanding between you that you don't all have to enjoy the same things. You and Alex share a deep love of reading and often spend evenings on the couch reading together, snuggled up against Casey as she plays video games or watches sports. You and Casey play softball together, and you love watching sports–baseball, basketball, football, you name it. Alex will watch with you, but she's mostly in it for the game day snacks you make. And obviously Casey and Alex have a whole career/calling in common, so they talk about that a lot, but they always try to make sure you're included in the conversation, and make sure to explain patiently when you have questions.

i = in sickness and in health When someone is sick, who's the caretaker and who's the germaphobe? Who's resistant to being taken care of? It depends on what kind of sick. If puking is involved, Alex and Casey are on their own. You are out of there, probably staying in a hotel, leaving soup deliveries outside the door with a mask on. Any other kind of sickness, and you absolutely dote on them. Casey eats this up. She is a pitiful sick person. Alex, on the other hand, will keep going until she literally can't anymore. And even then she'll tell you she's fine, and you have to force her to rest and take it easy. You can't exactly talk, you're pretty resistant to being taken care of, too. But that's mostly because Casey and Alex have important jobs to do, and you don't want to distract them.

j = joker Who's got the best sense of humor? Do you all like to tease and banter? You are by far the funniest of the three of you. You love making Alex and Casey laugh. It's one of the highlights of your life. Their jobs are so serious; they can tend to be on the serious side, too. So you make it your mission to brighten their days. That being said, there's a lot of good-natured teasing and insulting that happens on a regular basis. Casey calls you asshole more than she calls you anything else, probably. Alex has a razor sharp wit which is mostly funny, but every once in a while she'll toe the line between funny and mean. She can immediately tell when she's taken it too far, though, and is quick to make it up to you.

k = knowing Who can read their partners like a book? Is there anyone who has their walls up, even around their partners? By nature of being incredibly intuitive, you are the best at reading emotions. The problem is that you can usually tell what they're feeling but not why or who it's related to, so you almost always think it's somehow your fault. You're working on that one in therapy. Oddly, you're probably also the hardest to read. You have walls up, though they're slowly coming down. And Casey and Alex can have tunnel vision when it comes to work, so sometimes they miss things. Of the two of them, Casey is the more open with her emotions. Alex is open with anger and anger only. She's working very hard on being open with her other feelings, too.

l = lavish Is there anyone who really likes to lavish and show off their partners? How do the others react to it? Alex. Alex all the way. She's proud of herself, proud of the work she does, and proud of having not one but two stunning girlfriends. She dresses you and Casey up to the nines in clothes it would have taken you years to afford. When she walks into a room with you in a tailored Valentino suit on one arm and Casey in a designer gown on the other, she just knows everyone's jealous that she's living the best of both worlds. Since neither you nor Casey came from money, you both had a hard time with Alex's generosity at first, but you came to accept that showing you off is just Alex's way of telling you how proud she is of you and how happy she is that you're hers.

m = memories Is anyone more on the sentimental side? You, 100%. Although Casey and Alex have their moments, too. But you're the one who packs lunches with little loves notes. You're the one who surprises them with flowers at work, who cooks their favorite dinner because you know they had a bad day. You'll pick up that book that Alex wants so bad, but doesn't have time to go get. You'll record the Giants game instead of watching it while Casey's at work because you know she'd rather watch it together later. Of course, they do sweet things for you, too. Like Alex asking you to read your favorite book to her because she wants to read it with you. Or Casey organizing a game night with the SVU folks at your house, because she knows you want to hang out with them, too, you're just much more comfortable at home. You all have your moments, but they'd both agree that sentimentality just comes so, so naturally to you. It's a gift.

n = nights What's the nighttime routine like when you're all together? You are a big, big fan of parallel play so, even though you usually like to quietly read a book before bed, you want to do it wherever Alex and Casey are. Alex spends an eternity in the bathroom on her skin care routine before putting on the softest, most luxurious pajamas. She fixes herself a cup of peppermint tea and curls up next to you with her own book. Casey always has "more work to do," but she'll go through case files while you and Alex read. Or she'll finish the newspaper if she didn't get to that morning. She always has a gigantic, messy collection of file folders, old newspapers, and half-full glasses of water on her nightstand. You almost always fall asleep first, and they don't stay up too much longer because "you're just so adorable" and "I can't pay attention when you look that snug-able!"

o = open How open are you with one another? Very. You don't keep secrets. You don't tell lies. When you first got together, Alex suggested you all lay down "relationship rules." Those were two of the biggest. It sometimes takes longer for you to open up about what you're feeling, but they've learned that it doesn't really have anything to do with how much you trust them, it's just how you process things.

p = PDA What's PDA like with them? Is there anyone who loves it? Anyone who hates it? Alex would full-on make out with you in public, but she knows that's not a good look for someone in her position. Also, you and Casey do not like PDA. Casey will kiss you on the cheek or put a hand on the small of your back at a party, but that's it. You might hold their hands, but you won't do anything else in front of others. Alex won't either unless she feels like someone's infringing on her territory (her territory being you and Casey). Then she gets really possessive and is not afraid to show people that you're hers.

q = quiet Who prefers to spend their time out and about, and who likes to spend it at home? Casey is the most social of you. She loves going out with you or going out with friends. Alex is kind of in the middle. She's very, very good with people and socializes quite a bit, but often out of political obligation (to grease the wheels, so to speak, and make connections) rather than for fun. You are a hardcore homebody. You'll go out with them because you love them, but you're always very excited when you all decide on a night in.

r = romantic Is anyone a bit of a sap for their partners? You. So, so you. You just truly can't believe you lucked out with these two gorgeous, strong, confident, crazy smart women. Oddly enough, both Alex and Casey tend to be more affectionate with you than they are with one another. It's not that they love each other less, but you've got a couple of theories as to why they're just a little more romantic with you. (1) You're much, much smaller than them. Like a full 10 inches shorter. So they sometimes baby you a bit. They think you're very cute. You both love and hate it. (2) They were together first, and then kind of simultaneously fell for you, so you sometimes think they see you as collectively theirs, tag-teaming to take care of you and love you. You don't mind. They're collectively yours, too. (3) You're more sentimental than either of them, so it's easier for them to be sentimental with you than with one another. But, all in all, there's plenty of romance to go around.

s = sharing Is there anyone who's particularly territorial of their partners? ALEX. Very possessive of both of you. Casey's pretty damn possessive of you, too. Less so of Alex, but that's probably because she knows nobody fucks with Alex. You are the least territorial, mostly because you're just glad to be there. It doesn't leave a whole lot of room for jealousy. Just as Alex and Casey did before you came along, you all have an open understanding that if someone else were to come along–for any of you–you'd be okay with one of you pursuing a relationship with someone else, too. But it seems unlikely. You're all deeply content with things as they are now and don't really see yourselves bringing anyone else in.

t = terms of endearment Nicknames! What are the nicknames!? Alex uses honey or my love. Casey uses sweetheart and honey and sometimes baby. You mostly use lovely, which drives both of them wild, and also honey on occasion.

u = urge Who's the most impulsive? And who reins them back in? None of you are very impulsive. You think things through before acting. But of the three of you, Alex is probably the one who lets her emotions get the best of her, which can sometimes get her into hot water. Both Casey's and Alex's emotions (and impulses to do something brave and stupid) run high during hard cases. Thankfully, you're usually there to talk them out of it.

v = vacations How do vacations go? And where do you travel? You do vacations big. Alex has a lot of money, and you all love traveling. Alex considers it her absolute joy to make you and Casey's travel dreams come true, because she knows you didn't grow up with the kind of money to make them happen. She whisks you away on far-flung vacations as often as she can. An even bigger test of her love: she'll go camping with you because Casey loves it so much. But only with the highest end camping gear. And she will not touch a fish or a fishing pole, but she'll sit in a chair and read with you while you and Casey go fishing. Your favorite vacation so far? A surprise holiday trip to Soneva Jani in the Maldives. You'd always wanted to go to the Maldives, but it was very much a pipe dream. Alex packed for you, and you had no idea where you were going until you boarded the connecting flight to Malé. You were so excited you cried a little. When you stepped into your overwater bungalow, you just couldn't contain your excitement, running around the building, staring out at the crystal blue water, and kissing Casey and Alex over and over again, saying "Thank you thank you thank you thank you!"

w = worthy How are insecurities handled? Are any of you more self-conscious than the others? You're the most self-conscious. Casey and Alex are just so conventionally beautiful and successful and confident. They're smart, powerful, career-driven women and you're... a dorky, tiny, androgynous little work-from-home ad copywriter. Sometimes it's hard to know what they see in you. Alex is almost never insecure because she's cocky as fuck. Unless she screws up at work, and then she needs a lot of reassurance. Casey is insecure in that she's never able to live up to her own standards, so you have to remind her often that she doesn't need to be perfect and she's doing great. Insecurities in your home are always met with love and reassurance, never annoyance or frustration.

x = xoxo Who checks up on their partners a lot when they're apart? Do they call or text? Casey. She'll call to check up on you at least once a day. If you're out of town, she calls you at night, too, right before bed, on speakerphone with her and Alex (or vice versa, if Alex is out of town). Alex misses you, too, but she's more likely to text sporadically throughout the day. You text or call when you see something funny or something that reminds you of them.

y = yearn Who misses their partners the most, even just throughout the day? You really like your alone time, so you miss them but you really like having your space (working from home is great for this). But Casey and Alex miss you. Because you're home so often, when you're not home–out with friends, spending the weekend at your parents', etc.–they almost don't know what to do with themselves. Bonus POV: The Group Chat Casey: babe when are you coming home 😢 💔 😭 💌 😫 Alex: my love I need you here in my arms You: omg chill you guys i've been gone for like 2 hours! Casey: yeah 2 hours 2 long

z = zealous Who was especially eager in pursuit of the relationship? Was anyone more reserved? When it was just Alex and Casey, Alex made the first move. With you, it was Casey who came after you the hardest. Alex was a bit more reserved because she didn't want to make you feel like you had to date her, too. She wanted to be sure that you knew if you just wanted to date Casey and not her, that was okay. but she really did want you. She was trying so hard to be respectful that you eventually had to ask her out. Alex, can we go out sometime? Yeah, I'll see when Casey's free. No, I meant... just me and you. I mean, obviously Casey can come, too, if she wants, but... I'd like to take you out if you'll let me.

Stubborn

*not my gif* Alex Cabot x fem!reader Warnings; language, mainly fluff. Requested: two prompts from two anons

*

You were rather grumpily chewing on the tip of your straw as you watched Alex flit her way through the summer D.A’s gala with that adorably bright smile on her face. Not only did you already find these things boring and annoying as all hell, you were getting roped into more and more of them as Alex’s secret date. Your relationship was still fairly new, and thanks to the fact that you worked together, you’d decided to keep things very on the down low until you’d really figured it out and made the step to disclose.

You knew it was just part of your jobs to mingle, network and make fun small talk with other lawyers from all across the city, but Alex was a beacon of light in a room like that. Her smile shone, her eyes glittered when she laughed, she always looked absolutely stunning and she was damn good at friendly banter with a subtle hint of flirtation. You were more than well aware that it was only friendly, gaining trust type flirtation, that you had nothing to worry about, but it still annoyed you, especially considering no one knew Alex was taken.

She slid up beside you at the bar, letting out a soft sigh, nudging at your arm with her elbow.

“You still want to come over tonight?” She asked quietly, a warm expression on her face.

“Yeah.” You resisted the urge to lean onto her shoulder, “just let me do a quick round.”

“I’ll meet you out front.” She flashed you a smile, squeezing at your arm affectionately while you slipped away from the bar to say goodbye to who you needed to before stepping out into the warm evening air.

Naturally, it took Alex nearly twice as long to finish her rounds as you did, finding you leaning against the railing outside.

“Sorry…” she murmured, a sheepish look on her face, “it’s impossible to get out of there sometimes.”

“I know.” You sighed, happy when you got around the corner that she slid her arm into yours and this time, you could rest your head onto her shoulder. “Everyone needs to get their time in with the ever elusive Alexandra Cabot.”

“What’s that supposed to mean?” She laughed, nudging at you as the light changed.

“You’re like…the centre of attention at these things, everyone wants to get their chance with you.”

“Well you’re the only one who actually got one.” She smirked, pressing a gentle kiss to you cheek as you walked.

“Yeah well I still don’t like how Langan had his hands all over you.” You grumbled and she chuckled.

“You jealous?” She teased and you scoffed, elbowing her in the ribs.

“No.” You pouted, “you’re…just mine.”

“And I’ll never forget it.” Alex squeezed at your hand.

“I just hate that no one knows that you’re taken. I don’t like watching other people blatantly hit on my girlfriend right in front of me.”

“We can change that if you want.” She offered.

“Yeah.” You snorted, “‘cause Donnelly won’t reprimand us both the first second she sees us kiss at a work function?”

Alex simply laughed, untangling herself from your arms to unlock the apartment building’s front door. She briefly linked her fingers back with yours as you followed her to the elevator, letting out a soft sigh as it rose to her floor. She unlocked her apartment door and guided you in, locking it shut behind the two of you. You kicked off your shoes, retreating to her room where she kept a spare pair of pj’s for you that you quickly changed into, shifting to the bathroom to wipe off your make up. Alex took that time to change out of her dress, pressing a soft kiss to your temple as you passed her a make up wipe.

Back out in the main part of the apartment she offered you a glass of wine that you happily accepted and the two of you snuggled into the couch. You’d been halfway through a movie when your work phone went off the other night and decided now was a good a time of any to try to finish it off.

“You know…” she started softly, brushing back your hair, “I meant it when I said we could change things if you wanted. I don’t want you to ever feel inferior to some imbecile hitting on me at a gala or a bar, I’ve only got eyes for you.”

“I thought you didn’t want to disclose until we knew this was long term?” Your head lifted up to gain her gaze, hesitancy splayed across your features. “Al, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to put any pressure on you about this, I just…I hate those galas enough already, guess it just made me extra grumpy. I’m fine if we keep doing what we’re doing.”

“Well that’s a lie.” She teased and you huffed, rolling your eyes.

“No, it’s not.”

“Then why are you so frustrated tonight?”

“Because! You really wanna disclose? Then have it potentially blow up in flames causes we weren’t ready yet, except now everyone in the office knows our business?”

“Why would it blow up?” Alex’s hand came up to stroke at your cheek.

“It’s not like it’s gonna stop people from hitting on you.”

“At least that way they’d know they didn’t have a chance.”

“Why are you pushing this so much?” You grumbled, dropping your head down onto her shoulder again, “let’s just watch the movie.” Her hand cupped under your chin, tilting it back up to her face.

“Maybe because I love you, you enormously stubborn pain in the ass.”

“Wait..what?”

Alex giggled, pulling you to her for a soft kiss.

“I said, I love you.”

“Lex…”

“You don’t have to say it back if you’re not ready.”

“No, no, I am.” You kissed her gently, “I love you too.” You murmured against her lips, yours breaking into a grin as her arms wrapped around, pulling you into her lap for another kiss.

“I had a feeling.” She teased, kissing your nose, “why else would you be so jealous over someone like Lagan when you know I don’t even like men.”

“Well…like I said…you’re mine.” You felt your cheeks heat in slight embarrassment over the way you’d been acting that night.

“You gonna remind me why?” The gleam in her eye matched the smirk on her lips and you giggled.

“Baby when I’m done with you everyone at the office will definitely know who you belong to.”

Alex let out a quiet yelp as you flipped her down onto the couch, lips meeting hers in a burning kiss briefly before you teeth nibbled into the column of her neck. You weren’t about to let her down on your promise, and come Monday, she was glad for the extensive collection of scarves to cover the marks left on her skin, even if Liz did give her a more than suspicious eye as Alex handed her the disclosure paperwork. She loved you, she didn’t care if she had to alter her wardrobe every so often because of it.

one room and a second try

@alexcabotgf requested: "cabenson + 'sharing a bedroom was bad enough, but sharing a bathroom while they are not actually dating." a few weeks ago. Here is that drabble: (ao3)

"This is torture," Olivia scoffs when Alex walks into the room. The effect is dampened by the floss in her teeth.

"Well, I wish they'd sprung for two rooms too, I'm sorry that you're stuck with me, Benson," Alex says with a pained smile as she pats her face dry. "And I'm not certain why you even brought me along."

"I didn't mean to say that aloud," Olivia says.

"Oh?" Alex says, patting her face with the scratchy towel. "Think so much about me?"

"Of course."

She's scared. The last time they tried...

Alex's lips change the fear to hope.

[aries-rising-on-an-aquarius-tide]

Evocations: II

The second time they meet, it's in the bullpen of the one-six, and Benson has the homecourt advantage. She hasn't laid eyes on the tall blonde since the day in the courthouse hallway, but that doesn't mean that she hasn't been taking up space in Liv's head.

As soon as she enters the room, Olivia feels the pull inside of herself; that pull she hasn't felt in a long time, for either a man or a woman. Alexandra Cabot has an X factor that makes Olivia curious. The blonde is an uncommon blend of brains and guts, buttoned down and yet still so plainly, deliciously sexy . . . Benson knew without really knowing that Alex would melt like sugar on her tongue and moan like a cat in heat.

"Detective Benson," Cabot smiles, stopping alongside Liv's desk. Olivia blushes, caught out in her dirty thoughts. "We meet again."

"Imagine that," Liv grins back, and across the desks, she is aware of Elliot eyeing her with amusement.

"It seems we may be working together, after all," the blonde continues. She is close enough that Liv can smell her perfume, and it just adds to the intoxication.

Everything feminine in Alex enhanced the masculine qualities that Olivia had been trying to tamp down since leaving the Academy. Liv felt tossed into a 50s pulp novel when the ADA came in the room - always poised to pull out a chair, get a coffee, hold a door. It made Liv dizzy with a sense of pride and pleasure.

"That's great news," Olivia beams, "we've been in need of a good ADA."

"Good?" Alex smirks, "Oh, Benson, don't mark me low so fast. I think you'll discover that I'm much better than good."

The double entendre in her words send a buzz through Liv. She got to her feet, crossing her arms over her chest. "Yeah? That's good to hear." The hairs on her forearms rose, nipples hardened inside her shirt as if her body had been responding to the blonde for years.

"Win your first case with us, and I'll owe you a drink."

When Olivia heard her own words back, not just inside her head, a flush colored her cheeks in excitement and embarrassment. She chewed the inside of her cheek in the pause that followed.

Alex leaned over Liv's desk and grabbed a pen, then one of the detective's business cards. She scribbled on the back of it, and then handed it off. It wasn't a phone number, as anticipated.

"What's this?"

"The name of my favorite place for drinks." Alex started in the direction of Cragen's office, then called back over her shoulder, "You'll be needing it."

[idstillchooseregina]

Can you do an Alex/Casey for me? Alex takes Casey home sick from work and takes care of her

Alright, this is my first shot at this, so let’s see how this goes. I also just looked at my inbox and I’m not entirely sure how long this prompt has actually been sitting in here, so I apologize for the delay.

         Bureau meetings weren’t her favorite thing to lead, hell she hated attending them years ago, why she had accepted Jack’s offer to take over as Bureau Chief once she got out of WITSEC was beyond her. While she still took cases, she would be lying if she said that she didn’t miss the case load she’d once had when she was an ADA. She can see Casey snicker slightly when she curls her lip at something Jim was going off about; however, she was raised a lady, and knows how to keep up the façade at work. With a small, barely there smile, Alex stands, excusing Jim from his metaphorical soapbox that had taken a good portion of her time. “Now, time to get dow-” the blonde stops short when she’s interrupted by a loud sneeze. 

        She knows exactly who it’s from because just this morning she had told the culprit to stay home until she was starting to feel better. “How about we take 15 minute break,” she quickly addresses before walking over to where Casey was sitting. “Casey, a word,” the all too regal blonde announces as she heads out the door. The way she drew out the redhead’s name for an unnecessary second and the way her voice dropped to a level that made her annoyance blatantly clear to the few nearby, sent chatters floating around the conference room almost as soon as the door closed. Hearing her girlfriend come up behind her, as if the loud sneeze didn’t draw enough attention, Casey rolls her eyes and pulls out a kleenex from her pocket to wipe her nose before unenthusiastically following Alex out of the room. She knew exactly what was coming, though she knew Alex wouldn’t say it in so many words, Casey would place money on it that she was about to hear something along the lines of “I told you so” coming from her girlfriend.

        Though they had only gone a few steps down the long corridor, Casey found herself struggling to focus on what Alex was saying. It wasn’t like she was freezing her ass off or had the migraine from hell or anything; however, she did manage to catch one little bit of Alex’s diatribe: “You’re obviously sick, and in no condition to be working right now. Go home and get some rest.”

         “I habe do idea whad you’re dalking aboud,” the redhead deflects, glaring at the blonde as Alex tries to fight off a smirk at how Casey’s failed confidence sounded in combination with her runny nose strongly influencing most of her pronunciation.

         Crossing her arms over her chest, Alex smirks and shakes her head, “Right, and I’m the Ice Queen,” she replies giving Casey her best ‘want to try that again’ face. “Besides the obvious, I know that you’ve got a fever because you were shaking not only your chair, but mine as well, and as boring as Jim’s little schpeel was, I know that you weren’t falling asleep during it, instead you were trying your best to shield the light because you have a migraine. You’re not doing yourself or anyone else a favor by being here when you’re sick, Casey.”

      “I don’d habe uh-” Casey shuts up when Alex sends her an icy glare. Dammit. “Fide,” the redhead relents, wrapping her arms tighter around her torso attempting to make the most of her body heat. “But I’b obly gobing to my obbice,” she amends, earning another glare from her girlfriend, a glare she knows that Alex is giving her because she knew better than to think that Casey would fold that easily. 

      Looking back at the conference room, Alex mutters a “Stay here,” and walks back into the meeting that she’s supposed to be leading leaving a sick and confused Casey standing alone in the hallway. Not even two minutes later, Alex walks back out of the meeting with both her’s and Casey’s attache cases in hand. Seeing the look of confusion on her girlfriend’s face, Alex just smirks as she hands over the attache case, “Jim’s finishing up the meeting. I am taking you home because I know there’s no way I’d get you to go home otherwise.” Before Casey can get out any form of argument, Alex shakes her head, “Nope. You’re coming home with me, taking up residence on my couch or in my bed, and I’m going to take care of you.” Alex caught Casey’s smirk out of the corner of her eye and shook her head, “What ever you think is going to happen isn’t happening until you’re 110%. I may have a great immune system, but I’m not buying the deal you’re selling tonight, counselor,” she finished with a smirk of her own as she watches a pout come across the younger woman’s face.

       Thirty minutes later, Alex opens up the door to her apartment, ushering her sickly girlfriend into her living room. Placing Casey down on her couch, Alex pulls the blanket from the back of her couch and wraps it around her girlfriend, “You’re still burning up,” she mutters softly, feeling Casey’s forehead with the back of her hand. “Stay here, I’m going to go change my sheets so you can try to get some actual sleep tonight.”

       As she’s walking away, Alex hears Casey whine from under the blanket, “Al... You dob’t habe to change your sheebs for be, I’ll be fibe on da couch.” In truth, she feels more miserable than she’s been in years. She’d even gotten her flu shot this year, yet here she was still sick with the god damn flu. Her eyes are barely even open when she sees Alex lean over, kissing her forehead and telling her to get some sleep before she goes to leave the room once again, completely ignoring her girlfriend’s request.

         When Casey opens her eyes again, it’s dark out, and she can hear Alex stirring in the kitchen. ‘Alexandra, I love you, but not enough to eat your cooking, even when I’m sick,’ she thinks to herself as she forces herself to sit up, her body feeling less tense than it has in days. “Whab areb you dobing?” the redhead questions, pulling the blanket tighter around her shoulders.

           Alex jumps slightly at the sound of her girlfriend’s voice, taking a deep breath to steady herself before turning around. Her heart melting at the sight of Casey bundled in a blanket. “I didn’t know you were awake,” she starts softly, slowly making her way across the kitchen. “Are you hungry?” Casey shake’s her head in the negative, her throat feeling too raw that even the idea of swallowing anything hurts right now. “How about some tea with honey before bed?” The redhead seems to ponder this for a moment before nodding, “Good, because there’s already a hot cup ready for you on your side of the bed,” Alex finishes with confidence.

           Hazel eyes roll, “I saib I’d be fibe on da couch...” The look that she receives from her girlfriend’s sapphire hues tells her once again that there’s no room for argument, not that she’s going to complain though. As comfortable as Alex’s couch was, having fallen asleep watching her girlfriend work multiple times, the blonde’s bed felt like she was sleeping on a god damn cloud. Walking into the master suit, Casey all but collapses on what has become her side of the bed. As soon as Casey feels the bed shift telling her that Alex has finally finished her night time routine, she immediately moves to place her head on the blonde’s chest, draping one arm across Alex’s torso as she cuddles up against her. Already halfway asleep, Casey mutters, “I lobe you, Alexandra.”

           Alex smiles softly as she wraps her arms around Casey’s shoulders, drawing her in closer and resting her cheek on the crown of her girlfriend’s head. “I love you too, Casey,” she whispers, pressing her lips against redhair, “Get some sleep.”

[sofuckingchuffed]

“How could you think this wouldn’t hurt me?” -Calex

Casey sat, trying desperately not to twist her hands in her lap, trying desperately not to show any outward signs of discomfort despite the nervous dread churning in her stomach.

She’d thought over a million things that could happen, a million ways her case could be derailed, a million things she might have somehow done wrong to lead her here.

But nothing could have prepared her for the way her heart leapt to her throat, threatening to suffocate her as Alex Cabot walked through the door.

She swallowed hard, opening her mouth to say something, but no words came. Her heart was beating loudly, painfully, her chest tightening as she tried to comprehend what was happening.

“You look like you’ve seen a ghost,” Alex mused, hesitant smile on her face, and Casey’s vision clouded over with tears.

“How are you here?” She whispered, voice shaking. “I thought…you died. You—“ she broke off, covering her mouth.

“For what it’s worth, I’m sorry.” Alex sounded genuinely sorry, but somehow that only hurt more, and Casey’s chest grew tighter still.

“You’re sorry?” She spat, planning to continue, words unplanned and fueled by hurt and anger, but a sob took their place, tearing its way unexpectedly from her throat.

Familiar hands—Alex’s hands—were on her face immediately, drawing her close, foreheads pressed together, and Casey couldn’t help herself as she wrapped her arms around Alex, breathing her in.

“You smell different.” She laughed wetly, sniffing loudly as she tried to get herself under control. “Where have you been?”

“I had to go into hiding. New house, new identity.”

“Why didn’t you tell me?” Casey knew she sounded desperate and needy, but it felt like her heart was being healed and torn out again on repeat.

“I couldn’t,” Alex whispered, pressing a kiss to Casey’s forehead. “I wanted to, so badly, but I couldn’t.”

Casey nodded, sitting back a little so she could wipe her eyes, get a proper look at the woman she’d loved for so long, the woman she thought she’d lost.

“Did you think about me?”

“Of course,” Alex whispered fervently, gripping the back of Casey’s head with a sense of urgency. “Every day.”

Casey reached out to touch Alex’s face, allowing her fingers to trail across her features, feather-light and cautious. A small smile broke out on Alex’s lips, and Casey couldn’t help but match it.

“How could you do that to me?” She whispered, smile slipping just a little as she lowered her hand to Alex’s chest, covering her heart. “How could you think this wouldn’t hurt me?”

She knew it was unfair, knew Alex’s life would have been in danger if she hadn’t, but she couldn’t stop the questions from slipping out.

To her credit, Alex didn’t argue, didn’t try to defend herself. She just leaned in, pressing a soft, tender kiss to Casey’s lips before whispering, “I will spend every day making it up to you, if you will let me.”
