#svu hasn’t explicitly stated it’s not true so technically it is until proven false

Oh & I also have this headcanon that when Alex is back & back together/they’re working on their relationship she sends Casey flowers which she used to do when they first started dating thinking it would be cute & make her happy but got really worried and confused why Casey got upset/a bit freaked out & had to be told about when Casey was attacked & how the ruse was flower delivery & Alex feels terrible for 1 sending the flowers/triggering her & 2 not knowing/not being there when it happened for Casey

(I also kind of think my they were married but separated angle could be used to explain that losing Casey is what made Alex throw herself into her work so much & maybe even so focused on Zapata because she was distracting herself from missing Casey or thought she didn’t have anything else to lose obviously not know if what would happen to her)

You know continuing my delusions, can you imagine if Alex and Casey were together all along? So when Alex “died,” Casey started visiting Alex’s mom because, despite being an old money, Upper East Side, house-in-the-Hampton kind of woman, she absolutely adores Casey. She never thought Alex would find someone who would love her as much as Casey does. And Casey loves her because she doesn’t talk to her own mom anymore and Alex’s mom actually enjoys her company.

So what if, when Alex “dies,” Casey starts visiting her? At first shy about it but then going there twice, maybe three times a week. Alex’s mom is happy to have that piece of her daughter still in her life, so she loves doting on Casey and treating her like her own.

Until Alex’s mom dies, and then Casey is left grieving yet another person, yet another part of Alex. And Alex is absolutely wrecked, unable to go to her mom’s funeral, forever regretting that she wasn’t there for her mom. It’s only when she comes back that she finds out Casey was visiting her, and it gave her at least some comfort in knowing her mom wasn’t alone in her grief. It leads to a very tearful, emotional Alex clinging to Casey and thanking her over and over again for it. From then on, they go to her grave together and put flowers up every weekend.
