BENSLER-- Olivia Benson and Elliot Stabler have to pick up the pieces after Liv receives a head trauma from an accident while at work.

After a heart-shattering breakup, Ilona Maher was left to pick up what was left of her heart. Just as she begins to feel like herself again, she runs into a ghost of her past at a party. Angst ensues. (and maybe some smut. eventually.)

In this heartfelt story, Ilona Maher embarks on a new chapter of her life as she steps out of her comfort zone and into the spotlight of Dancing with the Stars. Known for her strength and success in the rugby world, Ilona faces an entirely new challenge as she partners up with professional dancer Alan Bersten. From the very first rehearsal, the two begin to form a bond built on mutual respect, humor, and the shared determination to succeed. As the weeks go by, Ilona and Alan support each other through the highs and lows of their intense training, learning not only the intricate steps of ballroom dance but also about each other's struggles, dreams, and vulnerabilities. Together, they navigate the pressures of public scrutiny, social media fame, and the grueling rehearsal schedule-all while developing a deep, trusting friendship that goes beyond the dance floor. This is a story about stepping into the unknown, pushing through self-doubt, and finding strength in unexpected places. As Ilona and Alan grow together, they discover that their journey is about more than just winning a competition-it's about embracing each other's differences, lifting each other up, and finding support and joy in each other's company along the way.

Just a collection of short Alan and Ilona ideas that pop into my head :)
