A Law & Order fanfiction!

Chapters: 4/4 Fandom: Law & Order Rating: Explicit Relationships: Shambala Green/Ben Stone

Summary:

“More?” Ben asks, voice warm and smiling, as if she hasn’t given him more than enough encouragement already. She curses under her breath. He’s really going to make her say it, because of course he is. Damn him.

“More,” she agrees through clenched teeth.

So, in the pilot, Paul has a tie which we later see Ben wearing, and suspenders. Ben has a belt (gasp), which he can’t even seem to fasten properly.

…I can only thus conclude that everything we see on Ben after the pilot was the best Paul could do at metrosexualing his wardrobe (he got Ben up to ‘unobjectionable’ and got rid of the stuff from 1978). He generously recognizes Ben doesn’t want to have a trace of style and leaves it at that.

This is, obviously, completely true. I guess Paul couldn't quite pry the 1978 reading glasses off him. (Okay okay, they could be from the 80s.)

#did paul also advise him to start parting his hair on the other (correct) side?#pilot sidepart almost as disorienting as the belt tbh #maybe paul just let the glasses go #maybe he just mentioned most (all) glasses shops will adjust them to an individual's ears so they're not crooked you nerd #paul robinette #eada ben stone #ben stone #law & order #l&o lols #l&o meta

If you have Mars in Aquarius with Venus in Taurus

you are . . .

The Lascivious Liberator

You are the most sensual of the Mars in Aquarius Lovers and this means you are constantly torn between the delights of the mind and gratification of the body. You have a great appetite for physical pleasure and it is very easy for you to get caught up in the pursuit of sensation but sex for the sake of sex can never fully satisfy your erotic nature. You need for your sexual experience to have a purpose beyond your personal pleasure and you are always happiest when you blend your sensual nature with a higher intellectual or moral agenda.

While you struggle with the choice between mind and body, you must also make an even more difficult choice between rebellion and conformity. You are far too conservative a Lover to be a good sexual adventurer. You prefer to do your experimenting behind closed doors and you are drawn to stable, enduring relationships; but the thirst for variety in your sex life and your intolerance of even the most benign restrictions on your behavior can make you restless even in the best of relationships. It’s not that you want to be bad. You just hate being predictable.

Very fascinating about how the Mike Logan era (once dubbed by him as “we all f-ing hated each other”) was something irreproducible. And he compliments someone you’d never believe.

"I thought Moriarty was just brilliant."

ORLY? Didn't see that coming!

#guess twenty years was long enough to get over the almost-fistfight lol #or maybe he was feeling bad for making fun of michael being in a straitjacket in a different interview ://////#law and order #chris noth #michael moriarty #a match made in hell

tutelele

Logan: You think you know so much about being a cop? Why don’t you do the investigating?

McCoy: Are you giving me attitude?! My father was a cop for 31 years and he would never leave a DA twisting with a half-made case and ask him to get an indictment!

tutelele

i’m pretty sure that if his father hadn’t made jack go to law school and jack had become a cop like he wanted, he would have been exactly like mike logan.

thepeacockvirtue

I’m pretty sure if Mike had gone to law school instead of becoming a cop like he seems to have been dispassionate about, he would’ve been exactly like Jack McCoy.

#this is clearly facts and also why they hate each other #not so easy looking at the man in the mirror is it fellas?#tbh that first season together mike was probably mad jack had a better haircut #but also genuinely hated him #law and order #mike logan #jack mccoy #match made in hell

EADA Benjamin ‘Ben’ Stone Law & Order (Season 2, Episode 22)

thepeacockvirtue

@someclerksdog …It also happens to be a 3x08/4x08 tie… (from right before the massacre starts and when he can’t convince the jury Swann’s guilty of murder…)

So, personality, maybe, but not a cheerful one.

someclerksdog

Definitely not cheerful, but it looks like someone with eyes and a sense of balance designed it lollllll

Like literally the rest of his ties look like hotel couch upholstery. That said I defer to you as the expert on clothing/hair symbolism and continuity ;)

#ben stone #worst tie taste ever #maybe he has a personal shopper and tells him his goal is for no one to notice his clothing ever #“gonna have to nix the waistcoats then boss”#“....your terms are acceptable”#tbf he's so freaking tall and I've noticed very tall men tend to be less fashionable. ?#l&o meta #ben stone meta #eada ben stone #i love him your honor

@someclerksdog @endlessjacuzzibraces @daydream-hq Found this image of Michael Moriarty looking very downcast and cute.

Is there some reason Michael Moriarty would have had a healing shiner in The Violence of Summer?

It’s either a failure or deliberate on the part of makeup and lighting, but I don’t usually look at Ben and wonder if he’s got a black eye.

Prince of Darkness, American Dream, & One Interesting Tie

So in Ben’s determinedly-uninspiring wardrobe, this tie is probably at the top of the heap, sartorially and dramatically.

He has it with a blue shirt (always a better look on him than white) when he meets karmic lady and disappeared-by-him witness Sandra Alvaro, and looks her in the face.

He has it with a white shirt (and what is probably not the same suit, but may as well be) the following season when he hears witness Russell Bobbitt has disappeared (turns out, by someone). This is Very Bad News at the time, but also ends up saving him.

And he has it once again with the blue shirt when he’s finally re-ascendant over Phillip Swann… (safety glasses on this time) and can look him in the face when he feels like it… and then have him disappeared.

#i'll never not say it: the softness Moriarty chose for the final scene in 04x08 was a galaxy brain move #no3: prime smoochability #handsome chin #eada ben stone #stolvaro #law and order

Stone and Alvaro

Her name means “the all-watchful”. And Sandra Alvaro puts a crack in him, without even looking. (“Prince of Darkness”, 3x08)

So Ben starts this one off practically praying

When he could have been using the glasses to read, or something

But both he and she are sitting under a fallen cross

Then he uses some testosterone against the devil’s advocate (whose name is Chris, ironically enough) on the other side; to the point where the hearing judge tells them not to have a fistfight.

And then, because he’s a macho man with a beautiful and supposedly compliant, helpful, and outside of the more-usual categories he deals with-woman sitting next to him (she’s not a lawyer, she’s not a defendant, she’s not exactly a suspect and he sees most witnesses in his office or theirs or their homes; they’re in Rikers this morning, for crying out loud), he takes a second and really looks her over. You can see his diagonal eyes on-screen. And it is deliberate, because they could have put Saundra Santiago in a less-clingy top with a higher neck if they were going for something else.

But Paul doesn’t see it and she doesn’t see it (so we don’t get the “somebody tries to sexually manipulate Ben” episode, here or ever) and nobody sees it, apparently.

But this is all before she makes it clear she’s going to be uncooperative.

And the next time he sees her, we’ve gone from her in off-white and him in a blue button-down… to her in a blue button-down and him in the rarely-seen black suit, making Paul be the bad guy, telling his own lies, and refusing to look at her… they are getting tangled up in each other, a bit.

Ben, this isn’t your first week in court. She can’t be your first threatened witness. She has literally not done a damned thing to help her case. And yet he goes to some very great lengths to either keep her safe or make her disappear, or both. This will have karmic consequences down the road for our flawed stone.

And when her testimony is read (and their names are read together) in court instead? There’s a guy in the jury box with a blue button-down.
