A Click of the Mouse - by Ann
"Oh my God." JJ leaned heavily against the desk, her face white as a sheet. She willed her friend to find some way, any way, to correct the horrible mistake she'd made.
"Hey, don't get upset just yet, JJ; the great and powerful Garcia has only just begun. Besides, I passed him in the hall on the way to your office. He hasn't had time to open his e-mail yet." She finished with a quiet mutter. "I hope."
"Garcia, you've got to get it back!"
"What does Garcia need to get back? The Imagine Me and You DVD she borrowed last month?" Emily stepped into JJ's office, having just caught the tail end of the conversation. It had been the perfect opportunity to remind the technical analyst about returning her favorite movie.
"Oops, sorry Emily. I've been meaning to get it back to you, but damn, Lena Headey is hot. I watch a clip or two every night before bed." She grinned in memory. "Especially the make-out scenes."
"What about Kevin?" Emily smiled. Lena really was smoking hot.
"Who? Oh yeah, Kevin. He's still around." Garcia's fingers flew across the keyboard, her eyes glued to the rapidly changing screen.
"Forget Kevin! Hotch cannot see that e-mail!"
"What e-mail?" Emily moved closer to her distressed lover. JJ was practically shaking in her Pradas - literally her Pradas. She briefly wondered when JJ had managed to steal the boots from her closet.
"The one I accidentally sent to Hotch instead of you."
"How'd you do that?" Emily frowned. Neither E nor P was anywhere near A or H.
"If doesn't matter how; what matters is that Garcia is able to retrieve it."
"So you sent an intradepartmental e-mail to Hotch. What's so bad about that?" Emily didn't understand the problem. Wouldn't JJ have 'CC:ed' Hotch anyway?
JJ spared a glance at Garcia, noting the intense concentration on the other woman's face. She temporarily forgot the technical analyst was the Queen of Multitasking - able to perform extremely difficult troubleshooting tasks and still be perfectly aware of her surroundings.
"Um, you remember last month when I e-mailed you a very detailed list and then made sure every item on the list came true." JJ leaned closer to her lover, keeping her voice low. Garcia stifled her grin when she noted the dreamy smile that had formed on Emily's lips.
"Oh yeah, I had no idea a five-course meal could taste so good." She failed to mention the location of the meal or the various 'serving' surfaces JJ had provided.
"Well, this was another one of those," JJ made air quotes, "lists."
"Shit!" Emily slid next to Garcia and placed a hand on the analyst's shoulder. "You get that e-mail back, and the DVD is yours."
Garcia grinned and easily retrieved the e-mail she'd already had her eye on. Lena was as good as hers.

Obsession with Body Parts - by atfm
"Mmh?"
"You're wearing your hair down today."
"I'm perfectly aware of how I'm wearing my hair, but thanks for pointing it out, Scribbs."
"I can't see your ears."
"Why would you want to see my ears?"
"I like them. They're all cute and protruding."
"Do you have an ear fetish?"
"No! It's just your ears I like."
"Well, I'm glad you enjoy looking at my ears."
"I don't just want to look. Seeing those ears makes me want to push you up against a wall and lick them."
"Charming. And highly inappropriate. Are you sure you don't have an ear fetish?"
"Quite sure."
"Good."
"Would you wear your hair up tomorrow so I can see your ears?"
"If you stop babbling about them now, I'll wear my hair up tomorrow."
"In a bun?"
"In a bun."
"Will you also let me lick your ears?"
"Go home, Scribbs."

Slippery Slope - by Fewthistle
Author's Note: Written for the Whoops! Challenge at the Thursdays100 LiveJournal community. Serena's last day, Borgia's first. It could happen *g*.
First day of her new job. Alex Borgia should have guessed that the floor was slick. She could see the gleaming reflection of the lights.
She was fine until the middle of the lobby. It happened in slow motion. First her right foot went west. Then her left went east. There was no way to slow the inevitable slide. Good thing she was wearing a skirt. Pants would have split in two, just like her legs.
“You'd get a 9.5 from the East German judge. Great form.” A hand reached down and she found herself staring into the amused eyes of her predecessor, Serena Southerlyn. “Just don't let Jack know you're that flexible. Anywhere.”

Rules to Live By - by Fewthistle
(MiS)
Detective Inspector Kate Ashurst watched her partner, Sergeant Emma Scribbins leave the station house, coat bundled tight, multi-colored scarf wrapped around her neck. It seemed that Ash was always watching Scribbs leave, off for a few pints with a mate, or on one of her ubiquitous dates.
It wasn't that Ash didn't get out herself. She did.
A drink with Scribbs. A curry with Scribbs. An occasional movie with Scribbs.
It just seemed that she spent more time alone than was truly necessary, but she didn't know quite what do to about it. The offers to have dinner with the right sort of man were few and far between these days, and heaven knows, she couldn't ask a man out herself.
There were rules about that sort of thing.
To Ash, there were rules about everything. Rules were important. They brought order to a chaotic world. They provided stability and security. They kept people in their proper categories.
Helpful rules like not asking a man out on a date. Necessary rules that said that public displays of affection were crass. Rules that relegated children to nurseries and the occasional pantomime.
Rules that strictly forbid one from falling in love with one's partner. One's female partner. One's chatty, impertinent, adorable partner who never willingly followed any rules, unless forced to do so.
Good rules.
Rules to live by.
Except that Ash was having a difficult time managing that last one. For the first time in her life, watching Scribbs' slender figure disappear down the sidewalk, Ash was seriously considering reconsidering one of her rules. She just wasn't certain what rule she could replace it with.
Maybe a rule against letting on that one had fallen in love with one's female partner.
If Ash had only known that she had already broken that one as well.

Summer (The Final of Season's Drabbles) - by ncruuk
(SVU)
She'd always noticed summer – you couldn't live in the City and not notice the cloying heat, the thickening air, the soaring temperatures as air conditioners progressively failed and tempers frayed. It was hard to ignore, unavoidable and inescapable…only now, now it was a good thing…
When the third juror fainted, court was adjourned until the temperature dropped…once, Alexandra Cabot would have been livid, having her cross examination disrupted…but now, now she understood the beauty of lazy summer afternoons – they began with ice cream and ended with cool cotton sheets…but were all about Olivia Benson, the woman she loved…

Spring (The Third of Season's Drabbles) - by ncruuk
(SVU)
She tried to notice it, to pay attention, but somehow, every year, Alexandra Cabot managed to miss Spring. Sure, she switched her clocks to Daylight Savings every year and occasionally managed to see her apartment without needing to turn on the lights, but the birdsong and the blossom – she missed all that, until…
…until she ate a Street-dog, sitting on a bench in Central Park, dropping mustard on her coat, enjoying the weak sunshine and Olivia Benson's laughter, the sound mingling with the birdsong…
Alex looks forward to Spring now…listens for the birdsong, watches for the blossom…

Winter (The Second of Season's Drabbles) - by ncruuk
(SVU)
Just because her colouring suggested Scandinavian heritage didn't mean that Alexandra Cabot liked cold, snowy weather and City winters – as far as she was concerned, winter was all about runny noses and handkerchiefs, chapped, frozen lips, and hot chocolate…She'd always had hot chocolate in winter, ever since she was a child, it was what she drank to warm her lips and frozen fingers…until she fell in love with Olivia Benson…
Alexandra Cabot still drinks hot chocolate, but now it's just a drink…she has other ways to warm her lips and a lover who never lets her fingers freeze…
December 3, 2006
Fall (The First of Season's Drabbles) - by ncruuk
(SVU)
Alexandra Cabot was not normally one to waste time debating her clothing choices, trusting the quality of her tailoring and being naturally decisive...but not when the weather was conspiring against her...did she wear the soft wool overcoat or just risk the autumnal wind in her suit jacket?
"You should have brought your coat Alex…" chastised Olivia gently, draping her leather jacket over Alex's shoulders, not feeling the cold wind.
Snuggling into her lover's jacket, Alex began to melt - she should have worn her coat, but Olivia's warmed more than just her body, it warmed her heart as well.

This is the End - by Geonn
(SG-1) - Apocalypse Challenge
Everyone gave her a wide berth, quietly making sure she had coffee refills. She mostly sat quietly in her lab and held her head in her hands.
Daniel finally breached her fortress. "Hey," he said.
"Hey," she sighed, wiping her cheeks.
"You gonna to be okay?"
"No," she breathed.
Daniel put a cup of coffee on the edge of the table and bit his lip. "You know... Sam... Jell-O comes in lots of colors."
"It's not the same," Sam sighed. "Why did they have to discontinue blue?!"
Daniel shook his head. For once, he didn't have an answer for her.

Conspiracy - by kimly
(SVU)
Alex slipped into the passenger seat of the idling squad car. "There's no way in hell this is official business. You can't be staking out the Manhattan courthouse."
Olivia pushed her sun glasses on top of her head and looked over at the ADA. "It's official all right. I'm on a mental health break." She repositioned her glasses.
"Elliot getting on your last nerve?"
"Munch."
"And this is new and different, how?"
"Two, solid weeks of 100 plus? It's a conspiracy."
"…"
"The moneyed elite and the feds are in bed together, don'tcha know. Global warming due to the administration's environmental policies is actually lining the pockets of the deodorant stockholders' portfolios."
"You're kidding me."
"He has graphs."

Cognitive Dissonance - by theholyinnocent
(SVU/TOS)
The voice crackled over the phone. In between static threads of noise an apology was being conveyed; regret and penance on an endless, jarring loop.
Painfully aware of what she was hearing as opposed to what she was experiencing, Alex tightly gripped the phone. Her own silence bellowed through the line. She thought of John Cage.
"So," Serena concluded, "maybe I was being a little... premature."
Alex forced a soft syllable. "Sure."
"Is this a bad time? God, is Branch in your office again?"
"Yes." Alex told herself it was not lying; technically, she was responding to the first question alone. "I'm kind of--buried under work right now." Again, factually correct. Tie my right hand to the Bible.*
"I'll let you go, then. We'll talk later, okay?"
"Yes," Alex repeated. She could not bear the implied intimacy of Serena's huskily uttered bye.
She let the cell phone slip out of her fingers, knowing that it would only plop gently into the tortured mass of clothing beside the bed, knowing that the sound would not awake Olivia, who, after a night of sex, gin, & tonic, could sleep through an earthquake, and who now lay snoring and sprawled atop Alex, and who was, apparently, always waiting to be reclaimed by Alex, if only for a night.
*This line stolen from a song by Metric, "Too Little Too Late."

The Upside - by geonn
(SG-1, Motorcycles Challenge)
Janet hated Sam's bike. How dangerous it was, how likely an accident was, how Sam was just an inch away from death or serious injury every time she rode it.
But the upside... the silver lining to the storm cloud...
Those pants. Whenever Sam strutted out of the bedroom wearing those leather pants, her leather jacket loose around her shoulders... Janet forgave the obsession.
The best part about the pants was every time Janet saw her in them, she came up with another activity that would keep Sam off the bike for several hours.
It didn't involve wearing pants, however.

Untitled PWP - by TremblingMoon
(TBJ)
Fingers intertwined and bodies pressed together, Kelly pushed Tracey into the wall so hard that the air forced from her lungs rushed out in an audible gasp. Overwhelmed by desire, Kelly untangled her fingers from Tracey’s and felt her hand, as if of its own volition, slip rapidly beneath the brunette’s skirt, rolling down her stockings just enough to slide her underwear aside and press into the other woman in one, clean stroke. Tracey moaned—a rich, sensual sound, so different from her usual, tightly controlled, clipped speech. But it was the whimper that followed, a noise born out of need but which offered complete surrender, that made Kelly weak in the knees, her fingers deep in wet heat and lips kissing irregular patterns over Tracey’s neck and shoulders.

Guilty Pleasures - by newbie_2u
(SVU, Drabble Challenge on ob_fangrrl)
“Rare steak, dry martinis, and unfiltered cigarettes.”
Turning toward the voice Olivia looks up at an unfamiliar man. “Excuse me?”
“Those are my guilty pleasures. I was hoping you might tell me yours…”
Quickly glancing just behind his shoulder Olivia answers. “Well, lets see, lazy weekends, stolen kisses…”
She pauses and her answer seems to please the gentleman who smiles and moves closer.
“…and short Armani skirts.”
At the confused look this final answer garners Olivia leans around him. “Hey sweetheart.”
Moving aside he watches in dawning recognition as a gorgeous blonde in a short Armani skirt steals a kiss.

Locum Tenens - by Fewthistle
(Law & Order: TBJ)
Tracey's tongue slipped out, just the tip of it tasting slowly, almost reverently. A low moan left her, one that Kelly, lying in her bed in the grayish silver light of coming dawn, had dreamt of hearing.
Kelly watched, entranced, as Tracey leaned forward, capturing the creamy liquid, drawing it into her mouth. Another moan slipped out, this one more hedonistic than the last. Kelly could feel it down to her toes.
"Sure you don't want some?" Tracey asked, gesturing to the waffle-cone full of coffee ice cream in her hands. "It'll cool you off."
"No, thanks," Kelly said politely, well aware that, after watching Tracey, it would take more than ice cream to cool her off.

Revenge is a Cocktail Best Served Shaken, and Not Stirred [since I couldn't fit this into the drabble it had to serve as the title...] - by theholyinnocent
{BG - Spot On Challenge (100 words)}
“Relentless,” Nikki slurred over a third appletini.
There was nothing quite like catching up with your ex, particularly the one that broke your heart. Never mind that later you have a date with an Argentinean dancer. Trisha allowed Nikki to continue.
“…from the first, she was all over me. Begging: ‘Please, Nikki, I want to be alone with you.’”
“Need to work on that accent. You make her sound like Ewan McGregor.”
“I mean, I had to put her off—‘What about your position?’ She didn’t care. She was completely horny.”
“I see. Nik?”
“What?”
“She’s standing right behind you.”

Dirty Work - by Fewthistle
{BG - Remainder Challenge/Comedy Challenge/Dialogue Challenge}
“Yes, Helen, right there. Don’t move.”
"I’m not moving, sweetheart. How long do you think that this is going to take?”
“You could help a little more, you know.”
“Hey, I’m the one down here, doing all the dirty work.”
“You offered. I didn’t force you. If you’d close your gob, and focus, I could finish a lot quicker. Yes, there. Hold steady right there. Yesssss.”
“Finished?”
“Yeah. Finally.”
“So, can I get up now? I have a cramp in my arm, and my hands are filthy.”
“God, such a whiny wench. We didn’t have to do this at all you know. Next time the sink breaks, just call a bloody plumber, alright?”

The Big Bad Wolf Takes a Meeting - by DiNovia
{SVU - Fairy Tales Challenge}
Olivia Benson crossed The Fourth Wall, entering the world of The Audience, aka 100 Universal City Plaza. She didn't believe it really existed but desperate times called for desperate measures.
"I'm here for someone called Wolf." She flashed her badge and was led down a hall.
"Highly unusual, Detective," frowned the producer. "Can I help you?"
Olivia pointed. "Fix this."
Dick Wolf noted a photograph of a blonde Casey Novak.
"Hair?"
"'Little Red Riding Hood' ring a bell? Fix this or be gutted like the Big Bad Wolf."
Pale, Wolf grabbed his phone. "Red, right? No problem."
Pleased, Liv left, eager to see her red-headed lover again. It was bad enough TPTB fucked non-stop with her hair but Casey? A bottle blonde?
Fuckers.

Tequila with Lime - by Fewthistle
{TOS/SVU - It Seemed Like a Good Idea Challenge}
It had seemed like a good idea at the time. A drink or two with colleagues. Proof that she wasn’t an over-privileged prude. She was fine through the seventh tequila shot. After that, things were hazy. Distorted, like being underwater.
Now, Serena lay in bed, each slight movement agony. Eventually, the crawl-through-the-desert thirst defeated the pickaxe-to-the-forehead pain and she opened her eyes a crack. Turning her head, it took a moment for her unfocused gaze to focus on the gleam of red hair on the pillow beside her.
“Fuck.” From prissy rich girl to lesbian slut in less than ten tequila shots. It must be a new land record, even for her. So much for good ideas.

Arresting - by trancer
{SVU - Arresting Challenge}
“Are you arresting me?” Alex held her wrists together.
“Have you been bad?”
“I plead the fifth.”
Olivia leaned in close, until Alex was trapped between Olivia and the wall. “I’ve heard pleading the fifth is an admission of guilt.”
“Depends on your definition of guilty, or your idea of punishment.”
Olivia answered by snapping her handcuffs around Alex’s wrists. The ADA gasped slightly, at the sensation of being bound, of being at Olivia’s mercy. With one hand, Olivia pulled Alex’s arms above her head, pinning them against the wall. With the other, she began frisking Alex in a manner Alex was pretty certain they didn’t teach at the Academy.
“Don’t worry counselor,” she growled before nibbling on an earlobe. “You’ll be adequately punished. And I’m very, very good at my job.”

What Happens in Vegas... - by aqua blurr
{SVU & CSI}
Olivia blinked into flashing lights that skimmed the surface of her alcohol-numbed body. The last thing she remembered was shaking hands with a one-armed bandit and downing yet another drink brought her by someone who was not a showgirl. She recognized the smell of an alley polluted with the effluvia of drunkards. She stank.
Olivia's blurred vision filled with a once-beautiful blonde carrying her good looks like a designer bag and a leggy brunette who rolled on her heels and swayed forward again. The two women squinted in the dark at her prone figure and turned to each other, proclaiming simultaneously, "My case!"

Gluttony - by Meesh
{SG-1}
The wine certainly had been flowing within the walls of the Fraiser residence. The majority of the celebrations had now ended however, and the guests departed as the night grew late.
Only one guest remained, kneeling on the floor by the coach, a glass of champagne in hand; toasting the birthday girl.
"Happy birthday Janet." Sam waved her half empty flute in the air toasting Janet.
"Thanks Sam. Uh… don't you think you've had enough to drink?" Janet enquired sleepily from the couch.
Sam shook her head firmly, no.
'I'm still too chicken to tell you I love you.'

Missing Us - by eyah
{SVU}
Before I knew her…I was “me.” And “me” was…um…okay. I was dedicated to my work. I was hard when I had to be. And that was acceptable, because I was soft sometimes too.
Then she came into my life. Just as fierce as I was. She was more regal…more polished.
The day she went to jail for a case, I knew. I knew we were more alike than I had thought.
We still fought as much as we got along. But our passionate natures were unmistakable. There was just so much that we both believed strongly in.
Then, somehow, we became “us.” And “we” were beautiful together. So perfect. We balanced each other. When work threatened to overtake me, she was my escape. I found my solace in her arms. I lost my heart to her before I knew it had happened. And somehow she made everything okay.
Had I only known…that our moments were numbered…I would have memorized every one. Because now she’s gone and memories are all I have of her. And they play in my mind like a steady reel of old home movies…yellowed and scratchy…with a sweetness and nostalgia that makes your heart break. I have cried more than I ever thought I could and my throat is still tight with unshed tears.
And I miss the other half of “us.” I am just “me” again. But suddenly, “me” doesn’t feel complete.

Fellow Travelers - by Fewthistle
{The Mothership - Holidays Challege}
Ed Green lay on the beach and let the caressing warmth of the sun’s rays seep into his very bones. After being shot and feeling the cold hand of Death grasping his own, he had needed this.
His benefactress lay to his right. The invitation had been surprising, but given both their circumstances, somehow fitting.
Suddenly, he felt the sharp jab of a fingertip in his shoulder.
“Hottie at two o’clock,” his companion stated efficiently.
Swiveling his head, he saw the delectable creature strolling along the edge of the water.
Turning his head back around, he met the blue eyes of Serena Southerlyn over the tops of her sunglasses.
“Flip you for her,” Ed challenged with a grin.
April 23, 2005
Devil’s Advocate - by Fewthistle
{The Mothership - Over the Hill Challenge, Part Two - see Part 1}
The rain sluice down umbrellas and pummeled the earth, throwing up arcs of spray and mud. It wasn’t freezing yet, but still, it was a bitterly cold day.
Only two mourners remained by the tarp covered grave. The others had gone as soon as the priest had intoned the final “Amen”.
“Despite everything, he was a good man,” Governor Southerlyn said sadly.
“He just couldn’t stand to lose,” replied Justice Ross.
“Hopefully, wherever he is, he found a favorable judge,” Serena mused, a sad smile on her face.
“Come on, Governor, let’s go have a Scotch for him,” Jamie urged, her hand on Serena’s elbow.
“So long, Jack. The prosecution rests.”

Unraveling - by theholyinnocent
{SVU - Post-'Ghost' Challenge}
It wasn’t supposed to happen. Which, of course, meant that it did.
It wasn’t supposed to be anything but a futile attempt at reclamation. It wasn’t supposed to be anything but Alex hearing her real name, spoken tremulously, bathed in sex, where words break apart like glass, shattering and shimmering upon impact.
Afterward, Olivia lay entombed in the slab-like hotel bed while Alex traced the lines of her cheekbones; that single gesture unraveled a flimsy heart sorely unprepared for another loss.
“So.” Triumphant but tender, Alex smiled in the dark.
“Hmmm?”
“What the hell have you done to your hair?”

Header - by Cabenson
{SVU - Newspaper Challenge}
Elliot grabbed the newspaper from Munch’s hands and walked to his desk, shaking his head angrily after scanning the headlines.
“ADA SLAID,” he read aloud, staring at the grainy photograph of Alex Cabot and Abbie Carmichael. “Trashy rag can’t even spell correctly,” he said as he tossed the paper back at Munch.
“Actually, it wasn’t so much a spelling error as a spacing error. Look, if you move the 'S' back a space, what do you get?”
Elliot looked at the adjusted headline and impatiently recited, “ADAS LAID. For God’s sake, John! How the hell do you come up with that?”
“Guess who’s in the background of that picture?”
Munch passed the paper to Elliot and watched as a smile formed on the younger detective’s face.
“Sonovabitch.”
“That’s our Liv.”

Dad's Mad - by noir moll
{SVU - Alex: the early years Challenge}
"Do you even realize how serious this is?"
"It's only a speeding ticket, Dad."
"You were twenty over the limit! On top of that, you insulted the patrolman!"
"He said 'girls' my age had no business driving 'German performance sedans'." Never mind that the '70s-model Bimmer with faded paint and a rusted fender was well past its prime.
"A traffic stop is no time for that audacious streak to rear its head, Alex. Bar examiners look into these things, you know."
She was sure plenty of other law students had gotten away with worse but, for once, she decided not to argue. "I know."
"And, another thing, Miss Aspiring Prosecutor. It would be wise for someone with a future miserable with cops to drop 'Barney Fife' from her lexicon."

New Job - by justcybele
{SVU - Alternates Challenge}
“I go into Witness Protection, I give up my entire life, and this is the best you can come up with?” Alex hissed at Hammond.
He spoke calmly. “There’s certainly no danger of anyone connecting you with your former life, Miss Cabot. And this way, the entire Democratic Party is invested in keeping your presence off the radar.”
“You made me a prostitute!”
“A Superwhore,” Geller contributed.
“And who is this candidate you’re putting up? Because I’ll tell you right now –”
“That’s yet to be determined,” Lassiter intervened smoothly. “We’ll tell you as soon as we know, of course.”
“I don’t believe this,” Alex muttered under her breath. “This had just better be the year the Democrats put a woman candidate up for President.”

Identity Crisis - by theholyinnocent
{SVU - Serena Challenge}
Fuck it, she thought.
For one night, Serena sloughed off the humiliation of failure, seeking comfort in what she knew: The bar—her bar—and its denizens. There she would find acceptance in a beer on the house, a gentle hand on her shoulder, a sympathetic wince. And later she would attain the state of forgetting while pinned under the body of a beautiful yet familiar stranger, whose hands and mouth traversed her body with astonishing confidence.
And yet, something niggled. “Wait,” Serena gasped.
The groping stopped.
“Is this because I was an ADA?”
Olivia blinked drunkenly. “Whaddya mean, ‘was’?”

Dashboard Confessional - by Nic
{SVU - Religion Challenge}
Waiting in line was the worst part. At twelve years old, standing in her Sunday Best on the worn carpet, she never understood why she needed to repent. And where was the anonymity, standing with other awkward preteens awaiting a similar fate?
There was no line this time.
"Alex." A rushed whisper.
She hushed her companion with a kiss, her fingers dipping inside. Olivia pushed against the wall in the confessional and lifted her hips, her jeans long since pushed to her ankles.
"Fuck… Alex, this is so wrong."
"Shhh." Her fingers found Olivia’s clit. "Confession’s not for another hour."

Appeasing Donnelly - by rainbowreyes
{SVU - Mistletoe Challenge}
"Hey Alex, I have the Mankozki paperwork you wanted."
Alex looked up from her desk. "Great. Thanks."
Olivia spotted something over Alex’s head and came closer to investigate. "Alex, is that mistletoe?"
Alex nodded. "Donnelly said my office was too depressing, so she gave that to me to put up."
"So you put it over your desk?"
"You know how people will demand a kiss by spouting tradition. I figured I could avoid that and appease Donnelly this way."
Olivia smiled. "Alex, you know how I love disproving your theories?"
Alex smiled. "Of course. Why?"
Olivia grinned, then leaned down and kissed Alex quickly on the lips.
"Maybe you should consider putting that over your bookcase." Olivia offered, turning to leave.
"Nah." Alex smiled. "Come back any time."

Sangria Kisses & Monogamy Dreams - by Heathers
{SVU - Kinky Crossover}
They’d discussed it—coolly—over sangria and tapas and as dusk cascaded across the city, they descended upon her.
Olivia watched as Alex kissed her, a reluctant exchange of wine-rouged lips and apricot gasps.
She should have said no, she thought as Olivia fucked her, Alex pressed against her side rocking against Olivia’s thigh.
But this was not something to be missed.
Her lips moved against Olivia’s ear but the sound didn’t carry. Alex smiled against Olivia’s neck.
Lilly knew the lengths Olivia had gone to for Alex and when she found herself behind Alex plundering her depths, admiration dawned.

Fighting Evil with Evil - by aqua blurr
{SVU - Make It Go Away Challenge}
Benson leaned against the brick.
"Building gotcher ass?" Stabler smirked.
"El, I'm in trouble. Fuck!" She whirled around, beelining it to nowhere. He trotted after her, with Novak and Donnelly close behind.
"Whatever you did, call your union rep."
"He can't negotiate me out of Novak's fantasies." His eyes flashed comprehension. "I tried telling her I was straight."
Stabler rolled those same eyes. The attorneys rounded the corner. Benson ducked behind a trashcan as the sanitation worker collected it. Instinct took over, and Stabler crouched down and kissed her.
"Still not buying it, Detective Dyke," Novak bleated as they passed.

Bewitched, Bensoned, and Bewildered - by theholyinnocent
{SVU - Make It Go Away Challenge}
The first time had been funny. Maybe even a little sexy. The second time bewildering. The third, awkward. And now? She wasn’t sure if the blush creeping across Elliot’s face was a result of anger, desire, or both.
“You can’t do that any more,” he growled.
Olivia sighed. “I’m sorry.”
Elliot grew contrite. “It’s not like I don’t like it.” He chuckled. “I mean, you’re good.”
Now she blushed. “Thanks. But—I just can’t help it. I see the body bag—it just triggers it.”
He shook his head. “Liv, you gotta stop making out with Warner in the morgue.”

anyone for cheese? - by bluepoet
{SVU - Pick-up Lines Challenge}
“What’s a nice girl like you doing in a place like this?”
“Excuse me?” Alex asked, looking up to see Olivia slide into her booth.
“Well, I was gonna say, ‘Your eyes are blue like the ocean, and I’m lost at sea,’ but I didn’t think you went in for the cheesy pick-ups,” Olivia said, stealing a drink of Alex’s beer.
“Oh, you have no idea. What are you doing around 3am?”
“Sleeping. Why?”
“I'm wearing Colourstay lipstick. Want to help me test the claim it won't kiss off?” She shot Olivia a mischievous look.
“Alex, that was really bad,” Olivia said, laughing. “I never would have guessed you’re so cheesy.”
“Liv, I’m so Gouda. Want a bite?”

Night Calls - by Strav
{SVU - Telephone Challenge}
Olivia awoke to the sound of her phone ringing. Her bleary 'hello' was met with silence.
"Hello?" she repeated. Then, "if you don't say something I'm hanging up."
When no answer came, she ended the call and returned to bed.
**** ****
"Three times."
"Three times a night for the last four nights? Liv, you gotta do something."
Olivia agreed.
**** ****
At 2:15am the phone rang.
"Hello."
The silence on the other end came as no surprise.
"You should know that I'm tracing this call. If you don't speak now--"
"Don't."
Olivia froze at the voice.
"I don't want you to find me. I just needed to hear your voice. I'm sorry."
Olivia listened to the dial tone and wondered if she was dreaming.

Sitting patiently between Alex’s spread legs, Olivia stared at her lover’s face and gently waited for the OK. “You’ll like it,” Olivia promised.
“It just seems unscrupulous.”
“Want to hear a funny story?” Olivia asked, playfully running the thin blue vibrator over Alex’s bare stomach. “While investigating a case, I once interviewed this waitress who quipped to Elliot and me, ‘Women are better left to their own mechanical devices.’ ”
Alex giggled. “Really?”
“A lot of women use them,” Olivia continued. “And you know what? No matter what, you’ll still be ADA Cabot, a classy lady, who Detective Olivia Benson happens to love. ”
Alex breathed deeply, closed her eyes. “OK. Go for it.”
Fifteen minutes later, Alex flopped her head against the pillow and sighed, “A classy lady who has multiple orgasms.”

The lights of the morgue bounced off the chrome railing of the table and stabbed the weary red eyes of the two detectives. For the last half hour Bensen and Stabler had watched the M.E. perform her rituals like a tribal shamaness--holding their breath, waiting for the proof that would cinch their case.
With a practiced snap Warner divested herself of the surgical gloves and looked into the faces of her colleagues.
"I'm sorry. Judging from the trace debris adhereing to the rectal area, I'd say your perp passed the evidence a few hours ago."
"Shit!" Olivia swore.
"Exactly," said Warner.

Measure for Measure - by theholyinnocent
{SVU - Shakespeare Challenge}
OLIVIA: The Fates bring me the Fortune of the gutter,
Mine eyes, downcast, behold futility’s spin—
A fanciful orb—stale doughnut!
FIN: Foul and atrocious thing!
See how it lays, putrid and hard.
Lady, it doth besmirch thy fine character.
OLIVIA: O doughnut! Vexed I am.
Yet in innocence did I conspire to keep thy fresh.
Thy blind eye, doughnut, doeth not see—
he whose careless hand brought time’s crust upon thee.
FIN: The stout-hearted Elliot, while covetous,
would do no harm. But Alex—
OLIVIA: Speak no further!
FIN: I shall. Your wench is wicked.
Vainglorious is she, with Prada in her heart.
OLIVIA: And if true? Advise me thus.
FIN: Victorious she shall be this morn,
And prizes she shall seek. Look for
Powder’d sugar upon her lips.
Then, Lady, seize the moment—
and smack thy bitch up.

The Big Easy - by Bast
{SVU - Hurricane Alex Challenge}
The quarter was awash in neon lights, bodies packed close enough together to claim blood relation; the cacophony of speech and cajun dialect reminiscent of the Tower of Babel.
Alex and Olivia, on their first vacation together as friends, were enthralled. After several hours of bar hopping, they stumbled into Nic's. Hot jazz and cold drinks greeted them. Alex was, Olivia, noted, loosing all inhibition--casting aside her glasses and shoes, she began a slow grind on the baby grand to the cheers and whistles of the crowd.
Panting and flushed, she rejoined Olivia at the bar, who gave her a calculating look.
"Here. Have another Hurricane, Alex."

{SVU - Blackout Challenge}
“Where am I?”
"On my couch.”
“How did I get here?”
“That's a long story.”
“I have time. Why does blinking hurt?”
“That's part of it.”
“Why don't you start at the beginning?”
“Once upon a time...”
“Olivia...”
“I can't tell your story.”
“Don't be difficult.”
“I'm not, philosophically speaking...”
“Let's not speak philosophically, or rhetorically or hypothetically. Just tell me how I got here.”
“Twelve hours ago you were in a wet t-shirt contest. First prize was a hundred dollar bar tab which you gladly drank.”
“How did I get into a wet t-shirt contest?”
“Someone said you pad your bra.”
“Excuse me?”
“Not me.”
“Fine, so I felt the need to prove my worth as it were?”
“Basically.”
“I won? Well, that’s good.”
“You wanna hear the rest?”

Good Advice - by add_duck
{SVU - Movie Title Challenge}
Casey spun gleefully in her chair. “I can’t believe I’m about to argue in front of the Supreme Court! Of the United States! Of America!”
“Stranger things have happened, “ said Judge Mary absently, straightening Casey’s collar. Please don’t ask me to name one …
Casey picked up the souvenir quill. “Ooh, look!” she squealed, shoving it behind her ear. “They provide hair accessories! And it matches my earrings and everything!”
“Casey, sweetie,” Mary snatched the feather. “I need you to focus now.”
“Do you have some last minute advice?”
“Mm-hmm.” Judge Mary stuck out her palm. “Gum. Spit. Now.”

Party Favour - by Nic
{SVU - Summertime Challenge}
The feeling was sublime.
Finally, she was getting noticed. Casey jumped at the chance to play volleyball at the precinct’s summer beach party and she vowed to kick some ass and look good doing it. They were finally seeing her for herself; including her in the group. They might even be friendly with her!
On the sidelines, Olivia leaned over onto the squeaking lawn chair arm. “You gotta hand it to her… She is athletic.”
Elliot pulled his sunglasses down his nose, passing a glance at her. “Think we should tell her she lost the top of her bathing suit?”
Olivia looked at the stunned group of fellow detectives and the ever-oblivious ADA. “In a minute.”

Terms of Surrender - by theholyinnocent
{SVU - Lyrics Challenge}
Perhaps in another context, Olivia would have recognized the thrill of the hunt: Closely following on Alex’s heels, she turned the corner with long strides, nostrils flaring, heart slamming, blood chanting, aware only of her own beauty blossoming within the desperately powerful presence of lust.
They burst through the bathroom door like rowdies in a saloon and within seconds she pinned Alex against the ancient tiles, elegant wrists bound in her grasp. “You’re driving me crazy.”
“I know.” Alex whispered. “I like you. But—“
Olivia awaited rejection.
Instead, Alex breathed an embrace: “I might like you better if we slept together.”

Thirst - by Ki Finn
{SVU - Alternate Universe Challenge}
Thirst was all she knew. It had been building for days as she watched her and now the moment was right. She stepped off the third story ledge from where she had watched her walk and landed noiselessly on the pavement just yards behind her.
“Excuse me,” Alex said. “I need your help.” When Olivia turned, she grabbed her quickly and pulled her off the sidewalk into a convenient alleyway.
“What the fuck-” is all she managed to mutter before she felt the press of teeth into her jugular.

Greasemonkey - by Nic
{SVU - Alternate Universe Challenge}
"Excuse me, sir?" The cro-magnon welding something under the hood of her precious Audi was ignoring her.
The large welding mask appeared from behind the hood and was flipped up to reveal a dirty, but feminine face.
"Oh... sorry."
The woman wiped her greasy hands on an even greasier rag. She wiped her forehead with the back of her hand, smearing black across her eyebrows and extended her hand.
"Olivia," she introduced herself. Despite the layer of dust and motor oil over the woman's face, arms and clothes, her smile was radiant.
"Alex," she replied, finding her own smile curl her lips.

“So he cornered me after the reception—“
“Didja kick him in the balls?”
“—and it’s time for another episode of ‘Olivia Benson: Pacifist Policewoman.’ Anyway, he’s looming over me, reeking of bourbon….‘Alexandruuuuh,’ he says in that fucking Hee-Haw accent, ‘Ah hear y’all are doin’ the hokey-pokey with one of your detectives.’”
“He called it that?”
Immersed in giggling, they failed to notice Arthur standing in the doorway.
“Gotta work on that accent a bit more, Alexandra,” he drawled, and then left.
“Just my luck,” Alex sighed.
“At least he didn’t catch us doing the hokey-pokey.”
“You’re not going to start calling it that, are you?”

The group at the bar later was unusually large. The case had run them all ragged. He flirted aggressively. She drank heavily.
An hour later they were at her place. The next morning she wouldn’t remember how they got there. She’d remember the sex, of course. Raw. Passionate. Primal. Like animals. It didn’t happen every day.
She woke at six. Calculating how long till she had to get up, she rolled over and nudged him, hoping for another go.
“Wake up… you,” Alex said, flinching.
That was the first moment it occurred to her that he probably had a name other than “that hot CSU tech.”

She couldn’t hide her disgust as she tried to speak above the music in the bar. “No way, Abbie. No fucking way!”
“A bet’s a bet, Cabot. Unless of course, you’re chickening out.”
“Oh please!” Alex retorted sharply. “But why her?”
“Loser has to break in the new girl. You knew the rules. Now go!” Abbie laughed as she pushed Alex toward her prey.
Alex reluctantly sat down at the bar. She looked back at Abbie, pleading with her eyes only to find the brunette laughing.
“Hi!” she said turning toward the redhead next to her. “Nice softball uniform.”

A gorgeous blond in a silk robe appeared in the doorway. “Were you talking to me?”
“No,” I stammered. “Uh, I was talking to myself. I do that sometimes."
“I know,” she said, grinning, and disappeared into the other room.
I sighed with relief.
“Her name is Alex Cabot. She’s the ADA you work with. Apparently, you two are more than friends.”
“No kidding,” I said. I pulled up the sheet.
He frowned. “Anyway, it’s September 2003. You’re here to prevent – ”
Alex appeared again. “Up for another round?” She slipped off the robe.
“Do it, Sam,” Al urged. “I’ve had dreams like this!”

{SVU - Firsts/Lasts Challenge}
“I’m here, now what?”
“Good morning, sunshine,” Elliot snapped on a latex glove.
She rolled her eyes.
“We need UV on the bed.” A camera flashed and Olivia flitted by. “Bag his hands and take… that…” she made a face, “out of him and bag it, too.”
Olivia stopped in front of Alex shaking a polaroid, “Hey.”
“Liv, check this out,” Elliot lifted a dirty condom with the end of his pen. “Mystery guest number three. This guy’s been busy.” He looked over her shoulder at the picture. “Nice one,” he chortled.
A gurney wheeled by, body bag jiggling as it passed them. “Who wants the implement?”
“Don’t ever page me to a crime scene again.”
Olivia looked at Elliot, condom still dangling from the pen.
“What?”

The Joy Of Green - by Ki Finn {SVU}
The smoke lingered longer than it did with cigarettes and the smell was far stronger. They sat on her fire escape, passed it back and forth between them, and Olivia found herself thinking that it had no effect on her at all until she looked at Alex and started to laugh.
“What’s funny?”
“I don’t know.”
“I can’t believe you’ve never smoked this before.”
“I’m a cop, it’s illegal.
“So’s speeding but you do that too.”
There was silence for a moment then she turned and kissed Alex. “You are seriously beautiful.”
“Keep that up and we’re moving to Amsterdam.”
