    Summary

    Frankenstein AU.

    What if Elliot were killed in the line of duty and brought back as Frankenstein's monster? An AU based loosely on Guillermo Del Toro's take on Frankenstein.

    "They would see his scars, but she sees his eyes; tender and loving. They would see his bulk, but she sees his protection; sure and everlasting. They would see the violence in the men he killed, but she sees justice. And they would see him as not human, something other, but she sees someone more human than anyone she'd ever met."

    Summary

    "The paramedics lift him carefully, securing straps across his shoulders and legs. He does not resist, but his gaze stays locked on the children until the last possible second.

    As they wheel him toward the stairs, Olivia finally steps closer, close enough to be heard over the noise. “You’re going to make a full statement,” she says. “When you’re stable.”

    He nods, eyes half-lidded now, exhaustion cutting through the adrenaline.

    “Badge number six three one three,” he says again, as if it matters that she remembers. “Don’t let them bury this.”

    “I won’t,” she promises."

    Olivia Benson learned how to survive alone.
    Elliot Stabler learned how to carry everyone else.

    In an AU where they meet as adults with full lives and unfinished grief and their connection unfolds quietly: through cases, shared silences, an unexplainable pull, loyalty, and the long path of learning how not to walk away.

    Summary

    "By the end of the driest summer in Goleta on record, Elliot will connect the fallen dominoes more honestly, at least. He'll admit he was never the type to topple something gently. He'll know that if the army hadn't rejected him, he wouldn't have wandered into Staple Foods in May, looking for a fight with supermarket stock and ending up with a job. He'd never have learned to sort vegetables from herbs, either, or come up on Olivia Benson in the freezer aisle, balancing on a ladder."

    OR

    Elliot and Olivia have a fling in the summer of 1990. Twenty-three years later, they find themselves in the same ocean (home)town, working at the same supermarket.
