Law and Order SVU 18x07 | 26x08

[multi-fandomgirl95]

Olivia: I wanna sleep for 40 hours. Sonny: You know that's called a coma, right? Olivia: Olivia: That sounds so refreshing, I could totally go for a light coma right now.

In Liv's line of work, I can totally picture her saying this.

SVU Season 26 Episode Lineup

Since the season swapped the order of the episode so many times this season, here is the correct order of how the season was originally supposed to air as, and what they ended up airing instead

You could tell early in the season that the episodes were aired out of order

Hopefully the editor's room will be more organized and on track for next season. Cause the order of this season was messed up.

Intrigued by your thoughts on Benisi. I hope it becomes canon! If it happens, do you think it will be the end of Rollisi? Or will remain a short-lived thing which is a forever secret between Benisi?

Oh I don't hope it becomes canon at all bc I think that explodes three of the most important relationships in Olivia's life in one go and also is not something I think she would ever actually do; Olivia refused to sleep with Kathy's husband, there's no way she's gonna sleep with Amanda's husband (unless, perhaps, Amanda dies). Like that's just fundamentally not who Olivia is as a person; not doing adultery is kind of one of her defining characteristics.

Benisi is only delicious to me as a Concept; teasing out little moments that can be read thru shipper lenses, talking meta and mapping out fic, I think this is the perfect kind of springboard for a lot of creative thinking among fans but I do not think it should be canon and I can't imagine even for a second that it will be.

Now as to the rest of it lol

It's interesting that Liv and Carisi are having the most chemistry of their relationship now. After he's married, after he's a dad, after he's been traumatized. Like there was something a little too clean, a little too naive about him before but now that his hands are dirty and he's willing to raise his voice at her in the office, she's drawn to him. This idea that Liv needs someone like her; someone a little broken, a little angry, with a halo just as crooked as hers. That she sees someone in him now, something familiar and mean that makes her feel like he's someone she needs to protect, and someone more like her. A true equal. Not to mention the fact that Liv clings so tightly to the people she cares about, that she's not looking for sex with someone new but only goes to men she already has deep connections to. She's desperate for someone who knows her. Carisi doesn't know her, not really, not completely, but he's as close as she's gonna get while she's not fucking Elliot.

It's interesting to play with the parallel of Carisi getting everything he ever wanted but it isn't actually that great vs Liv being too afraid to reach for what she wants bc she might experience that same disappointment.

It's interesting to consider their perspective on Amanda, who they both love, who has hurt them both.

It's angsty, and doomed from the start, bc neither of them actually wants the other; Carisi wants Amanda (wants to really have her, and not watch her walk out the door all the time as she jets around on her new job and leaves him alone) and Liv wants Elliot. But they can't have the thing they want, and instead find a sad, tragic kind of solace in one another. It's a you understand me, you can keep me warm for a little while kind of affair. A placeholder, two hearts that share a familiar grief.

I'm torn on the question of whether it destroys Liv's relationship with Amanda (in fic. In the alternate universe where somehow this happens in canon I think there's no question Amanda never speaks to Liv again and Carisi gets a transfer so he's not handling svu cases anymore). The knock down drag out fight between Amanda and Liv is a fun concept for fic, but then so is this idea that their relationship, as fraught and fucked up as it is, transcends their romantic relationships and the hurt they cause one another.

I don't think there's any way they keep it a secret; that's not in Carisi's nature. I don't think he could. Maybe if it happens right now as a fucked up trauma response while he's still reeling, but even then I don't think he can carry on sleeping next to Amanda (when she's there) without telling her. He's gonna break.

Amanda dying solves that dilemma and adds some really interesting layers of grief and regret to their fling, but killing Amanda so Liv can fuck her husband isn't really idk the best use of Amanda's character. It's more interesting if she's alive I think

Benson + Carisi | 24x14: Dutch Tears

Let’s call the fire marshal, wake him up if you have to, and have him close the place down. We stash Dutch in a unmarked van out front. He might be able to pick him out of a crowd. I’m game.

Olivia Benson x Sonny Carisi ~ Halfway House

A little benisi drabble. All fluff. Based on 17x19. @homerjacksons enjoy Warnings: I haven't written anything for like a year. I also just wrote this, haven't checked it lol Words: 687

Liv was going through the mountain of paperwork on her desk when Amanda came storming into her office.

“I told you we should of pulled him out” Amanda said as Sonny followed her in. Sonny was currently working undercover at a halfway house for sex offenders after there had been a strong of rapes in the area.

“What happened?” Liv asked standing up

“Nothin’” Sonny waved her off

“It’s not nothing Carisi! Nomaks attacked him!” Amanda exclaimed. Liv’s eyes widen and looked to Sonny. When he didn’t say anything, Amanda continued “Him and some of his friends recognised Sonny and attacked him with baseball bats as he was walking back to the halfway house”

“Carisi you are holding your back are you sure you don’t need to go to the ER?” Liv asked concern written all over her face.

“No, I’m fine okay? It’s just a bruise it’s not broken” Sonny said sitting down at the chairs in front of Liv’s desk while Amanda sat on the couch in the corner. “Think they were just trying to scare me”

The three continued to talk about Sonny’s undercover work but Liv was only half listening, her mind going back to Sonny being attacked. The pair had been dating in secret for the past 6 months, no one knew besides Barba, Tucker at IAB and McCoy – it was a need-to-know basis. When Sonny had offered up to go under cover Liv was not a fan. Sure, it wasn’t an overly dangerous assignment but seeing the man she loves slumming it in a halfway house with known sex offenders was not her idea of a good time. Liv’s attention was brought back when Fin came in and updated them on an eyewitness.

“He told me he was with his wife when Sofie got raped” Sonny said

“He told me the same thing; we’ve left her messages” Amanda added

“Okay so go see her” Liv directed to Amanda and Fin who quickly left her office, shutting the door on their way out “And Carisi you’re ‘friends” with Caskey now? Get friendlier”

Sonny nodded and headed towards the door. Just as Liv thought he was about to open the door to leave, he closed the blinds on the windows, giving them more privacy. Liv sighed.

“Stop worrying, I’m fine” Sonny smiled at her.

“Do not tell me not to worry. You’ve just been beaten up by a victims family because they think you are a sex offender. You shouldn’t even be in that house” Liv moved around the desk to stand with Sonny. “How bad is it actually?”

“It’s tender okay” Sonny rolled his eyes as Liv lifted the back of his hoodie up to get a look. She pressed her hand to his lower back, making him hiss quietly.

“I don’t like this Dominick” She whispered

“I know but who else was gonna do it?” Sonny moved Liv’s hand out from under his hoodie and spun around to face her. He won’t deny that he loves how concerned Liv is about him. Every time he’s come into the precinct the last couple of weeks he cane tell she worrying more and more. “If it gets too much for me, I’ll let you know okay?”

“What if it’s too much for me?” Liv whispered, looking down at their hands which had now become intertwined.

“Hey now” Sonny lifted Liv’s chin to look up at him “it was a couple of baseball bats, I’m completely fine. Trust me”

“You know I do, I’m just worried”

“I know” Sonny lent down and placed a soft kiss on her forehead “I can’t wait to be back in a comfy bed”

“Noah misses you”

“Just Noah?” Sonny smirked

“Of course not… as soon as I can get you out of there I will” Liv leaned up and found Sonny’s lips for a quick kiss. Even though the blinds were closed she was worried, anyone could walk through the door. “Be safe Dominick”

“Always am” Sonny kissed Liv again. “I love you”

“I love you too” she said as Sonny headed back out to the halfway house.

let me know your thoughts!
