    Summary

    "The paramedics lift him carefully, securing straps across his shoulders and legs. He does not resist, but his gaze stays locked on the children until the last possible second.

    As they wheel him toward the stairs, Olivia finally steps closer, close enough to be heard over the noise. “You’re going to make a full statement,” she says. “When you’re stable.”

    He nods, eyes half-lidded now, exhaustion cutting through the adrenaline.

    “Badge number six three one three,” he says again, as if it matters that she remembers. “Don’t let them bury this.”

    “I won’t,” she promises."

    Olivia Benson learned how to survive alone.
    Elliot Stabler learned how to carry everyone else.

    In an AU where they meet as adults with full lives and unfinished grief and their connection unfolds quietly: through cases, shared silences, an unexplainable pull, loyalty, and the long path of learning how not to walk away.

    Jan 2026: Companion fic here: the events of the film (and this fic) from Ellie's POV : Into Dust

    "Hey, hey," she interrupts, bringing her hand to gently touch his where he's clutching subconsciously at his shirt collar and hold it still. She's standing right in front of him. "I forgive you, Kent. It's okay. Let it go."

    "I made you feel like you were alone," he says shakily, feeling the full weight of his shame as he speaks the words. His throat constricts, and he swallows tears. "P-Please understand that I truly regret that."

    Summary

    Ellie Arroway and Kent Clark have been working together for a long time. If the person you spend the night with is also a friend and coworker, when does it stop being a one-night stand and start turning into something more? (Hint: if it's happening repeatedly, it's probably not a one-night stand.)

    Summary

    “I didn't vote for you to go… because I don't wanna lose you.”

    His reason is neither professional, responsible, nor rational. But as their foreheads meet, as she prepares to leave behind everything she knows, she can’t help being grateful that someone cares so much for her as to be so very unprofessional, irresponsible, and irrational.

    A continuation of the scene when Palmer comes to visit Ellie right before she leaves for her mission.
