Intimacy can take many forms. (A series of connected one-shots and short arcs focused on the developing friendship/relationship between Olivia Benson and Rafael Barba. No longer canon-compliant due to dialogue in 20x12.)

The idea for this series of stories came to me after watching The Library. At the end of that episode, Michaela agrees to allow Sully to share more of Walt Whitman's poetry with her. My thought is that the poetry would have been a catalyst for them to discuss sex and become more comfortable with each other, which is why I think Sully was interested in sharing with her.

My personal take on Michaela and Sully's wedding night and honeymoon, based on the tiny clues left in the show, showing the evolution of their relationship, on both physical and emotional levels. *Warning* I've tried to be realistic and coherent, while avoiding crude descriptions. But still, if lovemaking scenes bother you, then you shouldn't read. NSFW material for some chapters.
