Rafael Barba/original female character.
Lydia Coleman arranged to complete an internship for her doctoral program with Manhattan SVU, volunteering her time as a victim advocate. She gets along great with the detectives, their snarky ADA is a different story. Though neither would admit it, they both kind of like the banter.
Note: Twenty-one chapters of this story are complete, but need a lot of love as I rewrite them. The story itself isn't complete but I'm hoping revisiting it will motivate me to come up with an actual ending for it.
A version of this story is posted by me on AO3 as well.

In Contempt
ADA Rafael Barba prided himself on being unshakable in the courtroom, a man of logic and precision who thrived under pressure. But when Lieutenant Olivia Benson called him to the hospital late on a Sunday night, her voice tight with urgency, his world tilted off its axis. The victim wasn't just another case-she was Sophie McCoy, Jack McCoy's brilliant and fiercely independent daughter. Worse still, she was his Sophie, the woman he'd been secretly seeing for months. As the weight of the situation settled over him, Barba realized he wasn't just fighting for justice this time-he might be fighting for his own freedom. Secrets, lies, and the thin line between love and betrayal threaten to unravel everything as Barba is thrust into the most personal and perilous case of his career. All SVU characters belong to Dick Wolf.Complete
Nights Become Days (Completed)
Maddox's work keeps her busy, too busy for an actual relationship. This has never bothered her since no one has managed to hold her interest... at least not until now. A Rafael Barba/original female character story. I originally posted it on AO3 under a different title (one I've never really liked) and am rewriting it as I post it here. It started from an idea I was kind of playing with and has an unconventional start, but as I kept writing I really started to like the development of the relationship, so much so, that it become the first story I actually finished. There's smut... lots of smut, fluffy bits too. I've fudged Barba's age a bit because I wanted Maddox to be in her mid twenties and a fifteen year age gap was as large as I was willing to go. It has thirty five chapters and I will work on rewriting them in between new chapters for my other stories. They need a lot of work. The first four were posted at once because that's the point I decided I liked the story enough to originally post it.Complete
Lie To Me (completed)
This will cross between all three shows: Criminal Minds, Lie To Me, and Law and Order SVU. Rafael Barba/Original Female Character Spencer Reid/Original Female Character Note: I am much more comfortable with the characters from SVU and tended to rely heavily on the storylines of the episodes from the other two shows... too much at times. The chapters alternate between 2009 and 2013 and eventually the three shows will come together. This story is complete, twenty chapters, and I should be able to post a chapter a night. This story is posted by me on AO3 as well.Complete

And This Is Now (Full Circle Series Part Two)(Completed)
Completed. Rafael Barba/Original Female Character Maggie Malone runs into Rafael Barba after fifteen years. Note: This is part two of the Full Circle series. It's complete so I should be able to post a chapter a night. (Part one: That Was Then..., is short. Three parts, roughly 6000 words and builds their history.) I won't be using any of the shows episodes, but I'm picturing this fic taking place maybe a year and a half or so after Barba starts working with them. This story is posted by me on AO3 as well.Complete

Moving Forward (Completed)
Katherine Morgan leaves her emotionally abusive husband and moves from Atlanta to New York after visiting Amanda, her former college roommate. A Barba/original female character fic. Amanda Rollins is her best friend. Nick and Amanda are something. Starts during season sixteen after Carisi joins... Eventual Rollins and Carisi I will reference episodes if I pull from them, and I will deviate from the show at times. Update: I have the ending of this one mapped out which means it should get updated fairly regularly (this doesn't mean I won't get blocked from time to time, some chapters won't take longer than others, or that I won't get distracted by other stories... though I am currently intentionally neglecting some.) I have mixed emotions when it comes to ending this story... I'm excited for what I have planned, but I'm also not ready to let them go yet... which will both speed up and slow down the writing process. ***There will be 65 or 66 chapters depending on how they work out.*** This story is posted by me on AO3 as well. *I'm using screen grabs and other images from The Path because they lend themselves nicely to this story. Also images from SVU... obviously.Complete
