"tomorrow, perhaps, Olivia could be strong again. she could be Badass Benson, the SVU captain who had stood by Elliot since his return. but today? today, the scent of burning flesh was lingering in her pores, and Olivia was incapable of comforting anyone." EO talk about everything. trigger warning for mentions of William Lewis.
when rookie detective Olivia Benson joins Manhattan's Special Victims Unit, she doesn't seem to have much, if anything, in common with her new partner. but sometimes first impressions can be deceiving. {my take on the beginning of EO}
Elliot Stabler's marriage is falling apart. Olivia Benson is lonesome and determined to locate her biological family. Both of their worlds are forever and eternally altered. SVU season 7 with lots of inspiration from season 8. Slow burn, with dark, traumatic subject matter.
