    Summary

    Rafael Barba reflects on the love of his life, and tells his grandchildren how Olivia weaselled her way into his heart.

    Warning: Some fluff, major angst. This is beautiful, but bittersweet, and very sad. Major character deaths.

    Summary

    For more than twenty years, Olivia Benson worked to hide what she was. It took a flashbang in a Queens warehouse to expose her, placing her on the verge of a fatal Zone out. And it took the return of the one man she swore she’d never trust again to pull her back. Now, Rafael Barba isn't just in her life—he's in her head, and the silence he offers might be the only thing louder than the noise.

    Hold on, I still want you
    Come back, I still need you
    Let me take your hand, I'll make it right
    I swear to love you all my life
    Hold on, I still need you

    Summary

    “We didn't exactly part as friends,” Olivia pointed out dryly.
    “No, I guess you didn’t. But you used to be. When Mr. Barba left the DA’s office, you said it felt like losing the closest friend you’d ever had.”
    “That was… then. Before.”
    “The Wheatley trial.”
    “Yes.”
    “The one that Mr. Barba didn’t win, as I recall.”
    “Not for the lack of trying.”
    “Are you certain?”
    That took her off guard, like a sudden gut-punch. For a long moment all she could do was stare, her mind aswirl in a blizzard of old hurts, unspoken doubts.
    “It doesn’t matter why he did it,” she heard herself saying as if from somewhere far away. “It doesn’t matter what he did. I asked him not to defend Wheatley.”
    It was like a mantra, she suddenly realized, one she had been spinning for four years. It used to help. It used to ground her.
    It used to remind her why.

    Summary

    Rafael Barba never considered himself an overtly romantic man. Sure, he had his fair share of… entanglements. But the grand gestures of romance did not come naturally, nor were they much of a concern for him while he was so focused on first his education and then his career. Until a certain determined Lieutenant turned his world upside down.

    Summary

    Pure Barson fluff in a world where Olivia gets an award, runs into Elliot Stabler, and he reluctantly gets a front row seat to her beautiful life. Established Barson, canon up to The Undiscovered Country, my imaginary timeline from that point.

    Summary

    In the high-pressure vacuum of the 16th Precinct, Rafael Barba has spent years cataloging the details of Olivia Benson’s life with the precision of a scientist and the distance of a ghost. He believed he was content to be her orbit, the "Gary Cooper" of her world, until a late-night confession in a quiet squad room shatters his professional mask.

    But you, amplified in the silence
    Justified in the way you make me bruise
    Magnified in the science
    Anatomically proved that you don't need me

    Summary

    In 1989, "Livie" and "Mateo" created a pocket universe under a Daytona pier, promising to exchange real names at noon of the last day. Twenty-three years later, Detective Benson and ADA Barba meet in a Manhattan courtroom and realize they’ve been having the same argument for two decades—they just didn't know who they were arguing with.

    Summary

    The squad is placing bets on exactly when the caffeine-fueled, sleep-deprived ADA will finally snap, and Olivia Benson decides to intervene before he implodes in the middle of the precinct. She offers him a safe harbor and a glass of scotch, but the inevitable explosion ends up being far more physical—and permanent—than either of them anticipated.

    Summary

    He had been in love with her for years and despite where they were now, he still was. They’d fought before, but not like this. Surely she’d forgive him eventually though. Forgive him for leaving, for defending Wheatley in an attempt to protect her. After all, they’d both planned to be squabbling with each other at 85. He couldn’t fathom anything else.

    For three thousand years, they have found each other in every life: as enemies in Rome, lovers in a trench, strangers on a ship to America. Now, trapped in a world of plea deals, late-night arraignments, and buried trauma, they are forced to confront the history that lives in their blood.

    Barba left because he felt too broken to be the man she deserved. Eight months later, he returns to Liv's door to prove that their jagged edges are the only things that fit together perfectly.

    Maybe our pasts were meant to be so damn broken... So that when we met, we would fit together so perfectly that nothing would ever be able to break us again.
