Tada, chapter 3 is up! I have to say, I am having fun writing for this AU, and I only hope I am doing the characters enough justice. Being an AU, I think the out-of-character elements are there, but I tried to keep their personalities as canon as I could - the one person I completely butchered would be poor old Fin (and also rendering Rollins/Amaro/Carisi as useful as decorative vases, but I hope to come up with something more for them to do)!
I know things are moving kind of slow, but I kind of want to establish a connection/friendship between Barba and Liv before it develops into where I want it to be.
Also! I’m having a tough time coming up with Barba’s presidential code name. So far I had Simba or Lionheart and I think they are both lame. If someone can come up with a kick-ass one that suits Barba, I’ll be forever grateful. <3

Finally I churned something out to this! I’ll be honest, at one point I thought I’m going to be a crappy writer and just abandon this because I was struggling so much trying to piece the relationships together.
But I tried to stick in out in writing this - there has been approximately 4 rewrites and numerous revisions before I decided that I am okay with this, because I can proceed from here onwards.
This chapter is a bit slow, and a bit non-happening in terms of Barson but I hope to speed things up from here, so I hope you will stick with me for this!
Now back to real life for a bit - Friday at work is going to be blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah (not to mention - 1.5 day conference over the weekend bleargh)

Hooookay, so this is the chaptered project I was babbling about a few posts ago. I think this stems mostly from my annoyance of how Season 17 handled the Barba/Benson relationship, and this is my idea of a fix-it (of some sorts).
I don’t know how long will this turn out to be - I don’t envision it to be too long, but there’s some more fixing to be done before establishing the relationship.
If you’ve read my other stuff, you should know very well the endgame of this one :)
So..still working on Vengeance Chapter Eight
Here's a sneak peak! Hoping to update within the next couple of days!
Can We Learn To Love?
Previous Chapter
--------------------------------
Phil’s POV
“And we’re clear. Great show, Diane and Rick,” I say smiling at the radio presenters. I’m just finishing up work for the day as a radio producer. In all honesty, I love my job. I should love my job; I had spent many years fighting for this position.
“Thanks. Why don’t you come out to dinner with us?” Rick pipes in, glancing at his watch. “We could have dinner and spend some time at a pub afterwards.”
I swallow, pulling out my phone. It’s five after five and I told Dan I’d be home at half five. I honest to God really wanted to go out with the couple, but I knew that I had responsibilities elsewhere, not that Dan wasn’t able fend for himself, but I was beginning to feel guilty for leaving him alone for so long today and him being so young. “I’d love to Rick, but my husband,” it feels rather odd to be calling Dan that, “has been home alone all day by himself and I feel bad for having to leave him alone for so long,” I explain after having a small mental debate.
Rick nods his head, understanding. Diane then walks over, throwing in her input, “Bring him along. We’d love to get to meet him!”
“I’d do that, except he isn’t above the legal drinking age. Hell, I wouldn’t even let him touch alcohol, I don’t know what it would do to his young body,” I respond, mentally kicking myself. Am I his parent or his spouse? “Plus, we’re still settling in as a newly wedded couple.”
“How old is your husband Phil? Surely he can’t be too much younger than 18. You’re parents would do that to you, would they?” Rick questioned.
I sigh and shake my head, not really sure if I want to state how old he is. After a moment or two, I finally respond with, “No. He’s 13,” and the shock on both Rick and Diane’s faces explain how I’ve been feeling since the ceremony. “Dan’s a young one. I honestly feel like I’m going to be raising him, rather than being married to him. I mean, we didn’t even have sex on our wedding night last night because I’m so afraid of hurting him. And the fact that it doesn’t even seem like it should be legal, but it is thanks to the messed up laws we have. I don’t even know if I can grow to be fond of him, let alone love him, when I feel like this entire marriage is going to be me parenting him.”
“Oh, Phil. We had no idea. I can’t imagine how hard this is going to be on you. If you ever need anything, please let us know,” Diane says, placing her hand on my arm.
I nod and exhale sharply. “Thanks. I know I’m in for one Hell of a ride, but I don’t have another option. I guess I just have to face the music and accept that this boy is in my care for the rest of my life.” I look at the time on my phone again. “Shit. I have to get going if I’m going to make it home on time. I’ll see you guys tomorrow.” And with that, I quickly went back to the office I had been given, packed up, and ran out the building to my car.
I’m washed over with guilt as I watch the clock in the car tick closer to 5:30. I don’t honestly know why I am, but churning in my stomach tells me I am. I sigh as I'm pulling up in front of the house at 5:37. I feel bad, but I try to ignore it as I make my way to the door, unlocking it, noting that the lights are off in the house. I stumble through the door and flip on a light in the lounge to see none other than Dan curled up on the couch, asleep, clutching a stuffed bear. I chuckle while walking closer to Dan to wake him up, but I notice the dried tear stains on his face. I sigh, shaking Dan’s shoulder with a, “Dan. You need to wake up now. I’m going to go make dinner.” And with that, I walk to the kitchen.
I decide on a simple stir-fry as it is healthy enough and delicious enough. When it is almost done, I call out, “Dan, would you set the table for me please?” and after a few moments, I hear his small feet padding into the kitchen to do as I requested. We eat in silence as he looks like he is about to cry at any moment. Once the meal is done, I say that he can go watch television, and I’ll join him with tea once the dishes are washed. He slips off and I join him not too long after, handing him his tea and sitting down next to him on the sofa. Around half 10, I suggest we go to bed and by 11, I am out like a light, unaware of the boy next to me tossing and turning, unable to sleep.
Several days pass much the same as that first day. I wake him up before I leave for work, leaving some sort of breakfast for him, making it through my day of work with the sympathy of Rick and Diane, making it home to find a sleeping, tear stained face, Dan clutching a stuffed bear. After four more days of this, I decide to call my mum. Excusing myself from Dan while we were watching something on BBC One, I step outside to make the call.
“Mum. This isn’t working,” I begin once she picks up.
“What isn’t working?”
“Dan and I.”
“Philip, this is only the fifth day since the ceremony. This is a huge change for Daniel, him being so young. You put yourself in his shoes and imagine what it would have been like for you to be married at 13. I’m not saying your father and I made the wrong decision, planning the wedding so early, but try and sympathize with him.”
“I’ve been trying–”
“Apparently not hard enough.”
“Mum! You try having to be a parent to your spouse! I constantly have to make decisions for him about what would be best for him because he is still growing up! When I imagined marrying someone who was 16 years younger than me, I thought we would wait until he’d be 18 or so years, not 13!”
“Philip Michael Lester! You need to stop thinking of only yourself. This boy is legally bound to you for your life. It is time you made the best of it. You may not realize this, but he is now dependant on you for his life. You may never love him, but you better begin showing that you at least care. On your next day off of work, I expect you to do some sort of bonding with Daniel to show you care. It’s only been 5 days compared to the rest of your life. And it can only get better if you begin to show some care.”
“You’re right,” I mumble. We then say our goodbyes and I fume outside a little longer, scuffing my toe on the ground, holding back from screaming at the top of my lungs. I know my mum speaks the truth, but right now it’s a little hard to see that right now. I rake my fingers through my hair before walking back inside to see Dan asleep on the couch, thumb trapped between his teeth. For the first time since the ceremony, he looks at peace and content.
I very carefully scoop him up into my arms to carry him into our bedroom. He whimpers slightly, squirming his body closer to mine, grabbing a fistful of my jumper with his free hand. I smile and can’t help but think how adorable he looks when he is asleep. I carefully lower him down onto our bed, gently prying his hand away from my jumper. I then pull off the trousers he wore today, leaving him in a shirt and his pants like how he always sleeps. I pull the duvet up and over him, tucking him in. “Night Dan,” I murmur, brushing his curly fringe out of his face, and then stepping away from the bed, closing the door on my way out.
As I’m sitting on the couch, drinking my tea and watching the news, I can’t help but question again, after putting the boy to sleep, whether I’m more of a parent to him or a husband.
