Behavioural issues

Alex, annoyed when one of her “behavioural issues” acts up & embarrasses her in front of her lawyer friends, a gifset (3x21 Denial)

Once again, I find myself thinking about that Cabenson kiss that was filmed, but never saw the light of the day. 

oooh yeah

reblog and put in the tags non-canon ships that you genuinely think should be/should’ve been canon

Okay now this has just made my evening about 100% better, sweet dreams, my fellow lesbians <3

Alex: My name is Alex Cabot and I’m the new ADA assigned to SVU. And you are…?

Olivia: Not as straight as I thought I was.

The Very Best Cabenson FanFic there is

So I found this Fanfiction somehow when going down the rabbit hole of shipping Alex Cabot and Olivia Benson from "Law and Order: SVU" once again - and for me, it is THE Cabenson Fanfic. Nah, that's an understatement. It is such a beautifully written, touching, heartmelting story that I found myself reading it again and again. It's almost cathartic. The characters are just so well written and I love how their development both as individuals and as a couple is described in such a relatable, healthy way. This author really knows their stuff, folks!

Trigger warning for mentions of (past) sa, (internalized) homophobia and trauma/PTSD.

Title of Fic: "Stay"

Author:  elphiemolizbethbau

Fandom/Pairing: "Law and Order: SVU", Alex Cabot/Olivia Benson

Synopsis: Young, professionally scuessful ADA Alexandra Cabot feels herself drawn to Detective Olivia Benson. In a bad state, she one day surprisingly appears at Olivia's door and the two women slowly form a bond, their romantic feelings for each other growing stronger each day. But when they finally give in to their feelings, Liv soon finds Alex' erratic behavior quite puzzling and tries to get the younger woman to confide in her. Only when Alex reveals the horrific trauma she had to endure in her childhood and youth, the two women can truly start working at their relationship, with all the highs and lows, setbacks and challenges this involves.

Casey Chronicles out of context:

Casey: My life is over. Im done. Tell Judge Taft and Dani Beck I hope they burn in hell-

Olivia:...Can I ask what happened-? Alex, rubbing her forehead: You don't want to know.

Casey: MY LIFE IS OVER IS WHAT HAPPENED. I think I'm pregnant. olivia:..

Olivia: Casey. Humor me. Why?

Casey: Im late! I just cried over a dog commercial! EVERYTHING LOOKS EDIBLE-- Alex: Thats just because you're an emotional person and adorably food-motivated, Casey. AND ITS 3 DAYS NOT 3 WEEKS LATE- Casey: I CAN NOT RAISE A CHILD—I CANNOT EVEN REMEMBER TO FEED MYSELF! I NEED MY BOURBON TO SURVIVE WORKING IN THIS UNIT! Olivia: Casey you're LITERALLY A LESBIAN. You PHYSICALLY CANNOT HAVE A SCARE.

Casey:...Oh- right.

Casey: False alarm guys! We're good.

Alex, deadpan: Unfortunately this is who im in love with. This has to be a form of insanity- I deserve financial compensation. Casey: You're the father. Alex, on the verge of homicidal ideation: Oh. MY GOD-

The Squad During the episode "Ghost"

Fin: So, life update. Alex is back, we have an assassin in custody, and Casey..is being Casey.

Elliot: Pretty much.

Munch: Speaking of- where are Alex and Casey? Olivia: They have been 'prepping for trial' for the past 6 hours.

Fin: Why do you say that with air quotes...

Olivia: Use your imagination.

Olivia: Who preps for trial with the door locked when no one bothers to go in anyway? People who are absolutely not planning for trial-

Fin: You are being so dramatic, Liv. They are not getting it on—they are two responsible ADAs.

(the next day in the courtroom)

Fin:...never mind liv you were right. Thats the first time I've seen Alex wear a turtle neck.

Olivia: See? I told you. Now hand me my 5 bucks-

Munch, sing-songy: Friends don't look at friends that wayyyy-

Fin, smacking him in the back of the head: It's bad enough I lost 5 dollars to her- I don't need your boney ass singing too-

...

Fin:...Wait olivia how the hell did you know that--

olivia: I don't kiss and tell.

Fin: SO YOU ADMIT IT???? NOVAK AND CABOT?? REALLY LIV?

Munch: Who's surprised? The leading cause of ADA retirement is falling in love with Liv.

SVU Group Chat:

Casey: You guy's ever have a mental breakdown, then catch a glimpse of yourself in the mirror and realise you look atrocious and that singlehandedly makes you pull it together and get off the floor? Alex: All the time--also are you okay casey-? Casey: Im great actually, I have Chinese takout.

Elliot: Shes bullshitting you. I bought her that because she was having the mental breakdown. Casey I can see you right now- your literally crying into your fried rice.

Casey: Not you clocking my tea-

Olivia: never say that again. Casey: You guys are so mean to me omg-

elliot: Ill get you coffee if you quit complaining-

casey: And suddenly I love you.

Fin: Has anyone seen munch? Olivia: You finally admit your in love with munch? Fin: NOT WHAT I SAID.

SVY characters when asked to hold a baby:

——-

Rafael, awkward stance, holding it like it’s dangerous:….If you sit still, I sit still—I hate this just as much as you do-

…

Rafael:…Wanna write a pre trial motion?

Olivia in the other room: HES 1!

Rafael: I DONT KNOW- WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO WITH HIM!

Alex: Hi!! Oh you’re just the cutest thing!

Casey: us gingers have to stick together—these people are either bald or basic- and MEAN-

Happy baby, happy Casey

— alexandra cabot as sailor song and casey novak as fable by gigi perez.

💌: casey has always been religious but strongly into the same gender. she spends her days being guilty about dating alex—not because she doesn’t love her, but because she thinks that despite being happy in this life, eternal suffering awaits her in the afterlife— ended up straying away from her own religion.

meanwhile, alex—though not entirely an atheist—doesnt believe in divinity or religion in general, started praying with and for casey. she would wake up and pray, thanking that she met casey and that the gods blessed her with a girl who loves loving her more than loving life itself.

I feel for the IAB officer that had to look at the absolutely diabolical shit Elliot stabler did- love him but OH. MY. GOD.

That officer just wants to see his family- BUT HE CANT BECAUSE ELLIOT THREW A SUSPECT (probably not even the actual perpetrators) OUT A WINDOW OR INTO A WALL- OR DROVE THEM INTO A PSYCHOTIC BREAK-

I can just imagine Cragen pulling his nonexistent hair out every time it happens-

Cragen:…Novak you do it-

Novak: why me-?! He’s your detective! I just got here! I walked in here 30 minutes ago and I’m already positive I need to watch my back now! Something about Alex Cabot- cabenson- somth-

Cragen, absolutely done with his unruly children : ELLIOT GET YOUR ASS IN MY OFFICE-

The Squad playing ‘pass the phone’

Casey: I’m passing the phone to someone who dated a walking red flag with a receding hairline line on and off since season 1.

Olivia:…OKAY CAS—

Olivia: I’m passing the phone to someone who has IAB fighting for their lives.

Eliot:…I’m not that bad! That’s an exaggeration- anyway, I’m passing the phone to someone who KEEPS DISAPPEARING FOR SOME STRANGE ASS REASON-

Alex: I HAD A REASON! MOST OF THE TIME- Anyway, I’m passing the phone to the bodyguard of the squad, love you fin!

Fin: I’ll take that, anyways I’m passing the phone to the bony ass that refuses to retire-

Munch:…First of all-

Munch: what ever, You know back in the day in the—

(John say the line!!)

Munch: fine! I’m passing the phone to someone whose hair has been left at an AA meeting for the past 30 years-

Cragen: Okay so fuck you-

Cragen: I’m passing the phone to the man who started the sassy man apocalypse-

Rafael: And I stand on business- I’m passing the phone to the person who’s family genuinely needs psychiatric intervention-

Amanda:…OKAY-

Amanda: I’m passing the phone to someone who we can all agree makes the meanest pasta-

Sonny: Period- anyways, I’m passing the phone to someone who almost went gray dealing with Casey Novak trying to charge the military with murder-

Branch: She’s gonna kill me one day- I’m passing the phone to someone who is in desperate need of a vacation-

Olivia: me again- okay, I’m passing the phone to someone who we all randomly hated for months until we randomly stopped, kinda- one day-

(Then I accidentally fell inlove with her)

Casey: I’m still telling my therapist about that- anyways, I’m passing the phone BACK TO THE WOMAN WHO CANT GET OVER ELLIOT-

Olivia: AND IM PASSING THE PHONE TO SOMEONE WHOS HAD MORE HAIR COLORS THAN I CAN COUNT-

Casey: IM PASSING THE PHONE TO SOMEONE WHO CANT KEEP A HAIR STYLE FOR ONE SEASON-

Olivia: IM PASSING THE PHONE TO SOMEONE WHO IS IN SO MUCH DENAIL IT SETS OFF EVERY GAYDAR IN THE AREA-

Casey: HEY THA—

Olivia: I’m passing the phone to someone who defends and is STILL NOT OVER HER EX -

Casey: THATS DIABOLICAL.

Literally not a single thought behind those eyes, I fear

She just likes staring at Olivia and that's okay

alex has such a reputation for being icy and unmoving but her eyes are so expressive like just because shes not crying doesnt mean shes not falling apart

Alex likes to go read in the park, sitting under a tree by the softball fields. Casey has practice some afternoons, and let’s just say she’s always getting injured. Whenever she does they sit together, and Alex reads to her from whatever book she’s reading that week. They both have a crush on each other; they just don’t know it yet.

I will always love the way Alex talks, she over-pronounces every word in whatever she’s saying and I’m so here for it- like in the episode ‘Baby Killer’ when she says ‘The minor lacked the capacity to understand the consequences of his actions’ Chefs. Kiss💋

What I think some of the ADAs do while waiting for a jury verdict:

Rafael: he’s either A, fighting off a headache and practically downing ibuprofen- or he’s squabbling with Liv- heavy in the last one-

Alex: Skimming though law Text books for absolute funsies (also because she’s over thinking the court cases she mentioned during indictment and she has to double check or Liz will never hear the end of it-) that or she would go chat it up with Cragen over some drinks (only Alex is drinking, cragens AA boys would have his ass if he drank-)

Sonny: Oh my boy is stressing. He’s pacing, biting his nails, loosening his tie because suddenly it’s a million degrees in that room- then he panics even more and the second someone asks if he’s okay, especially Rollins- the nausea hit him-

Casey: To be honest she’s probably just chilling in her office, and this is for simpler cases, I feel like she will just sit in her mess of an office (Seriously it looks like a mad scientist lives in there-) and mess with her soft ball things, that or going to bat with Elliot, that usually ends in her having to book it back to the court house quick enough to get the verdict-

what the squad would do waiting for their shift to start

(im waiting for my class to start)

munch- read about conspiracy theories online/ take buzzfeed quizzes and then scare himself thinking big brother is watching when the answer is accurate

fin- sing to himself in the car and treat it like an american idol audition (i bet he thinks ice t is really good🤔🤔)

elliot- squats (his ass is so round and .. i have to go.)

alex- review the case and actually do her job (she never stops working because she cant be alone with her thoughts)

casey- puzzle games on her phone until she gets too pissed off losing and just goes in early

cragen- he never leaves he actually lives there

do not ask me the color of anything.

And they happened to be married 🫦

Casey : and for what kind of woman gets to love Alex? oh it’s me Casey Novak-Cabot

when Casey told Lake she’s not a cheap date, we all know that it is because her wife, Alexandra set a really high standard.

“you’re so out of her league, Detective.” by Alexandra Cabot.

Casey vibing to the song that goes like,

'Wish that I could see you again. Drown in your blue eyes. The more I hope, the less it's real'

after that trial ended, she didn't get to see Alex—no goodbyes, no celebration.

“fuck you" "when?"

randomly stumbled across this song and its so ‘casey to alex’ coded
