A/N: ...And I'm back from a major hiatus on fanfiction writing. Since then, I've fallen in love with a new ship – Alex and Olivia of course! I worry that I'm a bit rusty on this type of writing, so please let me know what you think! I'd really appreciate it.
Backstory
In terms of storyline, I'm taking a little bit of artistic liberty (so a tad A/U). I'm going to say that this takes place in season 9, soon after Paternity (but before Undercover). Alex didn't go back into witness protection after Ghost. She and Liv instead became a lot closer, the latter helping Alex to get through the trauma she went through. They eventually got together in what would be season 7. In terms of age, I'm estimating that Alex would be 32 (the same age Stephanie March was at that time) and I'm making Olivia 41. The gang (Elliot, Munch, Fin, and Cragen – Huang too) all work at the precinct. Elliot has all 5 kids, but Eli's a newborn. Hopefully this clears up some things, but please let me know if y'all have any questions.
Title
The title of each chapter will be the title of or lyrics from a song that I feel goes along with the chapter. This one's Morning Lullabies by Ingrid Michaelson
