Author: This is my second attempt at trying to write SVU. My first story is still in the works, because I think I'm going to go back and redo the first nine chapters all over and then go from there. Anyways, after finally being caught up with the show, I thought I would just write small ficlets of moments between Elliot and Olivia, and you'll see others making an appearance as well. Most of them will be short, and if you want to see something, let me know. This will contain spoilers for season eleven.

Elliot had Kathy. He had five healthy, beautiful children.
At that moment, standing close to Olivia on the roof of the precinct at night, everything faded away. It was just the two of them as she talked and he listened. She talked about Simon, about Dean Porter, about her near-rape experience undercover, and him. She talked about how vulnerable she felt at the thought of losing him, because he was her longest relationship. Eleven years, and he was still there for her.
Elliot listened, because it was what he did. He listened to his partner, even when they should both be home. When he should be heading back to his family for the night, he was here because she needed him. Looking over at her, the moon and the city lighting up her features, he felt his heart clench.
Elliot had Kathy, but it was Olivia he wanted.
