Chelsea Carisi lost her mom a year ago. She had been living with her stepfather and things seemed to be okay, until they weren't. When her stepfather starts abusing her, Chelsea turns to the one person she knows she can trust: her uncle Sonny Carisi. This is the first story I'm publishing so I'm sorry if it isn't perfect! Thank you for reading and I highly appreciate any feedback! I hope you enjoy!

"She profiles motives. He prosecutes them. Together, they walk the fine line between truth and destruction." ⸻ Four years ago, FBI agent Tessa Martin and ADA Rafael Barba worked one brutal case together - a case that ended in justice, headlines, and a deep, mutual dislike. He thought she was reckless. She thought he was arrogant. They were both right. Now, Tessa's back in Manhattan - newly returned from maternity leave, freshly reassigned as a Behavioral Science Unit liaison to SVU. The Bureau calls her "the golden girl" - brilliant with the media, sharp with profiles, and unshakably calm under pressure. What they don't see are the cracks she hides - the trauma, the sleepless nights, and the baby she's learning to raise on her own. When a high-profile assault case at Hudson University ignites a media firestorm, Tessa is brought in to manage public fallout and provide behavioral insight. What no one tells her? The ADA handling the prosecution is Rafael Barba. Their reunion is instant friction - her warmth against his precision, her empathy against his logic. But as the case unfolds, old grudges begin to blur into respect, and respect turns into something far more dangerous. In a world where justice demands control and truth demands vulnerability, the two find themselves fighting side by side - in the courtroom, in the chaos, and against feelings neither of them asked for. Tessa reads emotions for a living. Barba hides behind them for survival. And somewhere between the law and the lies, they'll both have to decide how much of themselves they're willing to risk for the truth - and for each other. Golden retriever × black cat dynamic

Hattie Stevens has been working as a victim advocate with Manhattan SVU for two years, denying her feelings for a certain ADA for nearly as long. When the guy she's seeing takes her from victim advocate to victim she'll have to rely on those closest to her to find herself again. Rafael Barba/Original female character Note: This story deals with sexual assault and its aftermath. A version of this is posted by me on AO3. The story will stay the same but I'm heavily editing it as I post each chapter here.

Young detective Rose Black has been struggling with the recent case of rapist and murderer William Lewis who seemed to get away with all crimes no matter what he was charged with. Their is just something off about that man. Little does she know that he has taken an odd interest in her, and that her whole life is going to be turned upside down. Warning: The story includes crude language and implications of sexual abuse and torture. If your sensitive to such things please don't read. Also I wrote the story in third person using she/he etc. And I prefer to use large paragraphs instead of splitting up small dialogues. So if you prefer first person writing I suggest not reading.
