SONNY CARISI WEEK

↳ Day two - Favourite relationship

[sweaterkittensahoy]

The first time Sonny gifts dragon!Isaiah with something shiny.

On their third date, Isaiah arrives, tells Sonny hello, then excuses himself to the restroom. When he returns, there's a cold beer and a mound of yellowing newspaper in front of his spot on the table.

Isaiah sits and takes a sip of his beer, then pokes at the mound of newspaper. "Dare I ask?"

Sonny grins, but it flickers on and off like a bad lightbulb. "I was helping my ma clean out the attic, and she found this, and I thought..." He rubs the back of his neck. "I like you a lot, which you know. I just hope this isn't too forward."

Isaiah takes another drink of his beer, then starts to peel away the layers of newspaper. They're crumpled in a way that says they've held this shape for a long time. Isaiah wants to pull each sheet away and read the little scraps of the articles. But he's more interested in what's in the center of them all, so he focuses on that.

Sonny doesn't say a word as Isaiah peels away the onion layers, but he taps his fingers against his thigh and tries to play it cool.

Isaiah peels off the final few pieces of old, crumbly paper and simply stares for a moment. "It's--"

"It's a chicken," Sonny says. "I know. It's a chicken dish. Ma used to keep quarters in it for all us to grab lunch money from when we were kids. I don't remember when it disappeared, but when she found it in the attic, she was gonna just drop it off at the charity shop, and I thought--"

"It's carnival glass," Isaiah interrupts, looking up to meet Sonny's gaze. "It's hoard."

Sonny dips his head, then lifts it again, meeting Isaiah's eyes with sharp determination. That, as much as the iridescent, dark blue bowl with the chicken-shaped lid sets off Isaiah's dragon sense. "You mentioned it last week," he says. "I thought you'd like it."

"I do like it," Isaiah says. He strokes his fingers over the curve of the chicken, and he lifts the lid to see the inside. He smiles and lifts out a quarter. "Lovely," he says. He meets Sonny's gaze again. "Here," he adds, holding out the shiny quarter. But quarters aren't his hoard. Carnival glass in its shifting array of colors is.

Sonny cups his own hand around Isaiah's, then uses his other hand to take the quarter from Isaiah's hand. "I'll put it away for our next date," he says.

Isaiah smiles and leans in to kiss Sonny's fingertips. The lights in the bar shift for the evening crowd, and it makes the carnival glass sparkle in a different way. For a moment, Isaiah's dragon brain takes over. All he can do is stare at the newest piece of his hoard.

"I'm glad you like it," Sonny says.

And Isaiah shifts his focus again, smiling widely at how quietly pleased Sonny looks at seeing how much his gift is enjoyed. "Come over tonight," he says. "I want to show you the rest of my collection."

Sonny beams. "Yes," he says. "I'd love to."

so...remember when I kept going on and on about isaiah holmes x sonny and asserting that after they freed carlos they definitely hooked up and rekindled the fling they had back in the day? here’s the first part of that fic no one asked for >:)

Sonny lifted his beer bottle in offering and lifted a corner of his mouth when Isaiah clanked his high ball glass against it.

“To a job well done.”

“Not bad for a day’s work, counselor,” Isaiah complimented before he brought his glass to his mouth. His eyes were a piercing blue, even in the low light of the bar he’d dragged Sonny into. Rather, Sonny insisted and he finally gave in and steered them in the direction of a bar where he promised they wouldn’t have to worry about playing politics. Sonny had seemed relieved at that and he’d followed behind him without a moment’s hesitation.

“Yeah. A win sure feels nice.” Sonny’s mouth screwed up ruefully and his eyes darted to the side and scanned the crowd. “What convinced you?”

“I know you, Carisi. If I didn’t say yes from the start you’d try to wear me down and probably never let me forget it. Seemed in my best interest.” Isaiah’s mouth lifted up in a faint smile.

“So that’s the only reason. Not because it was the right thing to do?” Sonny pressed as his eyes were drawn back to Isaiah’s face. His fingers held the neck of the bottle in his hand lightly and he let the bottom edge circle slowly against the table.

“I missed that idealism,” Isaiah teased. He sat back in his seat for a moment and readjusted his shirt before pinning Sonny with a look. “I took the case because Carlos deserved to be free, should have never been there to begin with. It was the least we could do. And it felt good to see justice served two times over.”

“Yeah. This one did end up with a neat bow tied around it, didn’t it?” Sonny lifted his eyebrows and then took a swig of his beer.

Silence descended between them and Isaiah was surprised when Sonny didn’t immediately try to fill it with chatter. The Sonny he knew was brash, energetic, enthusiastic, and suffered from a bad case of foot in mouth disease. This Sonny still had some of all of that, but the less favorable parts were more muted and the more favorable ones were tinged with shades of disappointment and frustration. Isaiah almost hated to see it, as much as he’d grown weary of Sonny’s never-ending questions back in the day. The hope and determination he had had always been a breath of fresh air.

“I have to admit. I was surprised when I heard you were the Manhattan ADA.”

Sonny’s eyebrows lifted again and he exhaled through his nose in a puff of humorless laughter. His lips quirked up again in the imitation of a smile and his chin thrust forward. There was the Sonny he remembered.

“Why’s that? Didn’t think I had what it takes?”

It was hard to tell if he was offended or resigned under the bravado.

“No, I thought you liked being a cop too much.”

Sonny laughed, for real this time, and dropped his chin and his gaze to his beer bottle. He began to pick at the label and when he slumped slightly in his chair Isaiah relaxed again.

“I loved being a detective,” Sonny answered. The small smile on his face echoed as much. “Especially at Manhattan SVU. Yeah, it was a little bumpy in the beginning…” he inclined his head and smiled ruefully again, “but I like to think I got better as the years went. Great squad, too. It was hard to walk away from.”

Isaiah leaned to the side as a waitress with a full tray squeezed next to their table. “So why did you?”

“Because I got tired of seeing the victims not get the justice they deserved.” Sonny’s jaw was set and there was a fierceness in his voice. “Don’t get me wrong. We had great ADAs. Barba. Stone. Cabot before them. But there was a need with Stone out of the picture and it seemed right. If not now, when? I didn’t go to night school just because it looked good on my resume,” he added sarcastically. “I want to make sure the bad guys get what they deserve, the victims get justice so they can sleep at night, and the good guys don’t get locked up because of lazy detective work.”

Isaiah couldn’t stop the genuine smile that crossed his face, even though he hid it a beat later in another sip of his drink. He eyed what appeared to be potato skins on the other table and silently admonished himself. Eating food like that at his age would only mean his brain would be slower than dial-up internet during what was sure to be another long day tomorrow.

“Quite the rousing speech.”

Sonny rolled his eyes and laughed, using his beer bottle to point at Isaiah briefly.

“How’s Queens treating you.”

“Exactly the way Queens treats everyone else,” Isaiah replied. He still had the smile on his face and he only tried briefly to press his lips into a straight line. This was the most fun he��d had in ages.

Sonny nodded in concession and looked away again. His eyes tracked the basket of fish and chips being brought by their table.

“I need something to eat,” he announced. “The food here in any good?”

“Not for guy’s our age.”

“Hey now, counselor, I used to run after perps for a living. I’m hardly worrying much about what I put into my mouth after a long day.”

“I notice you said used to,” Isaiah teased. “I’ve got salmon marinating in my fridge and a bag of salad. Come on.” He nodded at the waitress and brought his wallet out of his pocket. “Let’s get out of here.”

[shedonewentboom]

Give Sonny Carisi the support system and partner he desires and deserves-Campaign 2021.

Honestly, give him some care, kindness and concern, because I know he is going through it.

Either put up or shut up with the Rollisi. Bring back Barba. OR GIVE ME HOLMISI, SVU WRITERS. These are your options.

Just can Sonny have some thriving relationships please that don't involve an abundance of work related stress? For me?

[sweaterkittensahoy]

Concept: NSFW Barholmisi where Barba and Isaiah help Sonny prep for his first trial

I have never written this, though it has been sitting here for a bit. But good news, Adrianna absolutely did, and it’s fucking rad. 

[shedonewentboom]

I ship them!

And honestly, if I could write, I would write the hell out of that fic. Have not!fic instead. Hope that's okay!

Isaiah and Sonny start small I think. Outside of a drink here and there. Like text messages, phone calls, facetime, and lunch and dinner, maybe breakfast or brunch. And they're getting closer every time. Reading each other's favorite book and watching shows together even if they're not in the same burrough. Just in general being soft and flirty but with intention and consent and everything out in the open.

And somewhere in there Rafael shows up and *Celine Dion playing in the background* starts hanging around a bit. And Sonny is so happy because friends! Attention! Respect! Admiration!

And Rafael is being a little flirty because Sonny isn't dating Rollins, so he's free, right?

Thing is, Sonny seems to respond to the light flirty remarks and goes for drinks and the like, but it's like, there's a line and he refuses to cross it and Rafael is confused.

And then, one day, Sonny told Rafael he had plans, as he has done before, and so Rafael went out with Liv. Then he sees Sonny out and is ???!?!??!!? But then sees who Sonny is with and is !!!!!???!!!!

Rafael asks Liv and Liv is ???? until she turns and sees Isaiah and Sonny sitting and talking.

Picture Sonny playing the Isaiah's fingers on the table top until Isaiah picks up Sonny's hand and presses a kiss to his knuckles, the tips of his finger and then his palm and then putting that hand on his cheek. *chef's kiss*

And Rafael has, all this time, been wondering who was taking up Sonny's time when some nights he definitely just went home and even told Rafael so.

And well, now he knows who's been able to cross that line that has slowly been becoming some pretty concrete boundaries and rebuffs. And Rafael respected it.

Didn't make him any less jealous.

Ok but am I the only one who ships Isaiah Holmes and Carisi? Like Carisi and Isaiah becoming close friends then messing around. Then Rafael comes back for a couple of episodes and notices the two together and gets jealousss.

part 2 of sonny & isaiah going out for drinks after they got carlos released from jail. you can find more under my #holmisi tag

“I’m not too proud to admit that you may have a point about this whole ‘balanced meal’ thing,” Sonny joked as he pushed his chair back from the table incrementally. He stretched a little and smiled appreciatively at Isaiah.

Isaiah arched an eyebrow and smiled in response before picking up his wine and finishing the last sip.

“Oh?”

“May have to break up with my delivery guy.” Sonny flashed another wide smile before gesturing to the plates. “Let me help you clean up.”

“They can go in the dishwasher,” Isaiah replied as he pushed to his feet and snagged Sonny’s empty glass. “We’ll just rinse them off first.”

“Put me to work, boss.”

Sonny picked up his plate and then Isaiah’s before following him into the kitchen. They worked alongside each other in quiet. Isaiah washed the glasses out by hand and stood them up to dry in the wooden drying rack on his counter. He opened the door to the dishwasher after Sonny finished rinsing the plates and Sonny slotted them in neatly. He turned back to the sink to scoop up the silverware and dropped that in the basket next. Isaiah closed the dishwasher door and leaned his hip against it with a small smile.

“Next time, I’ll cook,” Sonny offered in what was obviously supposed to be an offhand tone as he dried his hands. “I can actually cook…I just haven’t had the time lately.”

“Next time?” Isaiah echoed.

Sonny hung the dishcloth back on the hook and turned to Isaiah with a careful expression on his face.

“It’s only fair. You helped me with my case and then cooked for me.”

“So this is only about doing the right thing?” Isaiah volleyed back in an amused tone.

Sonny gave him a long look and then shook his head briefly. He took a step closer to bridge the space between them in the small kitchen. When Isaiah made no move to step away Sonny leaned in slowly and kissed him softly. He stepped back a moment later with an apology already tripping off his tongue.

“Sorry if I…read that wrong.” He brought up a hand to scratch at the back of his neck, gaze pinned to his feet.

In response, Isaiah ducked down to kiss Sonny. He brought a steadying hand to Sonny’s bicep and the kiss went on for longer this time. They were both breathing a little harder when they finally parted.

“Consider that my ‘enthusiastic yes’, counselor,” Isaiah offered with an upturn of a corner of his mouth. “Tell your delivery boy it’s going to be awhile before he sees you again. I’m expecting something good.”

Sonny grinned, “you won’t be disappointed.”

Queens ADA Isaiah Holmes + Manhattan ADA Dominick Carisi sitting in a tree...k-i-s-s-i-n-g.

[carisi-dreams]

sonny & this man had a fling when sonny was at fordham 100% facts

[carisi-dreams]

Okay I wanna know how you feel about Carisi and the new ada wentworth(?)

so my new working theory about sonny & isaiah holmes is here & here. the first part of a little ~something is here. more silliness is here. the person who came up with the portmanteau ‘holmisi’ is @whisperingvictory and...

I think they’re currently seeing each other casually because the sexual tension there...you could cut it...with a knife.

[sweaterkittensahoy]

"So, Gayle, what have you been doing the whole time you were off tumblr?”

“It’s just easiest to link you to my SVU list on AO3. Which is at 168 stories--most of them written this year. And it’s not just Barisi.”

[carisi-dreams]

I immediately ship sonny and this guy

[carisi-dreams]

I SUPPORT THIS MESSAGE

I'm gonna need someone to comfort sonny every time people question his work as ada because I'm about to jump into my tv to occupy that place. my man is doing his best it's not his fault justice sucks (I just watched counselor its chinatown)

that episode was such a good sonny episode! & I agree. sonny deserves some cuddles at the end of every day

[shedonewentboom]

OMG YES!!

I'm imagining Sonny leaving the precinct one day when Barba has stopped by and Fin quips, "Lunch date, counselor?" And Rafael is expecting Sonny to laugh or make a sarcastic remark or something but he BLUSHES. "It's not a date. He's just a friend." And Rafael is intrigued.

And then there's a day where the squad and Rafael and Sonny are out to dinner or something and Sonny keeps looking at his phone here and there and Kat is just like, "Considering how little I see you smile, period, I'm gonna assume that that isn't someone from work that you're texting." Cue BLUSH. "Doesn't matter. And considering out jobs, pretty sure me smiling would be worse." "It makes you look younger and considering the hair and those bags, you could use it." "Et tu Rafael?" "The only similarly between you and Julius Caesar might be your taste in partners and your noses."

During all this, Rafael has of course been rebuilding his relationship with Sonny and considering their previous interactions he doesn't see anything special about whoever is on the other side of those messages or who else is having one on one lunch dates with Sonny. Except....

One night Rafael and Liv are heading to dinner because FRIENDSHIP REBUILDING, but she has to stop by to see Sonny and so they go and and see him to drop something off. Liv decides to mother hen a bit. "I hope you're not spending the night here again. I know that crime doesn't sleep and paperwork waits for no one, but you need to relax, Sonny." "Yeah, I'll be heading out in a bit. Just waiting for you and--" His cell rings and he picks up and instantly he smiles. "Hey. You're almost here? Yeah, I'm packing it in now. Yeah? I'll see you soon. *giggle*" Patented Benson eyebrow. "Well, I guess your evening is sorted then. And here Rafa and I were gonna take pity on you." "Well, apparently we're not needed for entertainment. How ever will I recover?" No blush, but GRIN. "Ha ha. Have a good night you two. I wouldn't wanna get in between you two either way."

And now, Rafael, is a little bothered, because this can't be a work dinner. Or study dinner. Maybe a mentor/mentee dinner? Maybe they're just friends. They have to be.

Everything comes to a head when everyone + babies are out together for the day at like, the park and Isaiah shows up and by now it seems that the squad is used to him a bit. Rafael, of course, hasn't been working closely with either the police or the DA's office and so hasn't been privy to as much interaction as the others have. Everyone has a good relaxing day and Rafael doesn't see anything untoward happen between Sonny and Isaiah until Isaiah is about to leave and he squeezes Sonny's shoulder and says he'll talk to him a little later and that, yes, Sonny, I'll send you a text when I reach my place.

Amanda is the one who throws a bit more fuel on the fire of Rafael's jealousy. "Oh, already at that stage? Well, I'm just saying, I look terrible in pink and I have allergies, so a Summer wedding and more muted colours might be best." "Amanda..." "Sonny..." "Enough." "I'm just saying, that was a pretty intense shoulder grab. Putting my love life or lack thereof to shame." And the thing is, it would just be teasing if it weren't for the fact that the look on her face is more sweet smile than teasing smirk. Like she's happy for him.

And so Rafael is jealous and in denial about who he's jealous of and why. But in his own way he tries to further his relationship with Sonny, get close again and closer still. Liv has been giving him looks when he talks about Sonny, but she doesn't say anything because he hasn't confirmed anything and Rita just rolls her eyes and tells him to woman up. And if Carmen happens to mention the times she sees Sonny with an older, well dressed ADA who is pretty far from his jurisdiction, Rafael doesn't mention anything himself. And anyway, Sonny has said they aren't dating.

It all comes to a head a night out at a bar where Sonny has gone up to the bar to get a drink. At least that's what he said. Rafael offers to go look for him, missing the resigned look on Liv's face and the sad one on Amanda's. Fin's quiet, "damn" is met with nods and sighs. Kat says, "Oh," when she gets it and is suddenly sad for the older man who she was starting to like.

Rafael gets close to the bar and sees Isaiah trying to leave when Sonny reaches out for his hand. He looks like he's thinking hard, trying to build up courage. Isaiah has a bemused and somewhat sad smile on his face up until Sonny reaches for his face with his other hand and pulls him in for a kiss.

And Rafael is almost heartbroken. He turns around and walks back to the squad. "He might be a minute. Seems the boyfriend decided to come out as well."

Oh my goodness, sorry this was so long lol

Ok but am I the only one who ships Isaiah Holmes and Carisi? Like Carisi and Isaiah becoming close friends then messing around. Then Rafael comes back for a couple of episodes and notices the two together and gets jealousss.
