Summary
Out of nowhere in May, sometime soon after Randall's adoption was finalized, Alex's brother-in-law Stephen announced that it was "high time" he took his wife on a second honeymoon cruise. [Steve] proposed to the Gorens that, while he and Elizabeth were away, they use their apartment; bring their collie and the budgie and spend two weeks in New York City visiting old haunts and old friends.
"We're here to sightsee and chill," Alexandra Eames said, and Robert Goren agreed. Two full weeks in New York City with their children Olivia and Randall, to see all those tourist attractions native New Yorkers never visited, sounded like a perfect cap to summer vacation. But uncomfortable--and sometimes brutal--secrets lurk in the city streets, both past and present.
The stories in this series build on one another and should be read in order, starting with the opening piece, "Requited." The previous title in this series was "Surprise!"

Summary
Robert Goren searched the interior of his wife's Honda Pilot, then called over his shoulder, "Eames? Wasn't there another bag?"
Just plain fluff and fun.

Summary
Bobby regarded her pensively. Back in January, it seemed a fun summer activity: attending SpaceFest, a science-fiction/fantasy/nostalgia event in July. The memberships were reasonable; the promise of writing and publishing panels attracted him; and Olivia and Randall would enjoy the Star Trek programming...
Bobby Goren, Alex Eames, two adopted kids, and a nostalgic science-fiction convention. What could go wrong?
Add a classic 1960s television star, an old friend from the NYPD, some vintage--and valuable--series props, and someone who wants dearly to get their hands on them...
The stories in this series all build on one another and should be read in order from the opening piece, "Requited." The previous title in this series was "Next Chapter."

Summary
He sighed. "I don't remember our schools having elaborate last day rituals when we were kids."
Randall's adoption has been hurdled successfully. But, still, there are some significant events as school closes for the year.
Just a bit of fluff for the beginning of summer vacation.

Summary
Early on, [their attorney] was the one who'd warned them of Judge Sakai.
"He's a skilled arbitrator," she conceded, "but he's on the edge of retirement. He remembers the legacy of Native American boarding schools and children removed from minority parents without cause, and is reluctant that families should be split when no abuse was involved. With Randall's father being alive, he's a problem."
In October 2024, Robert Goren and Alexandra Eames began the long process of adopting their foster son Randall Shaw; now, 18 months later, all the inspections and interviews are over--but will a judge who's determined not to make the mistakes of the past work against their dreams?

"Milbury" Stories (Alex Eames and Robert Goren) by Shadow_Lass
Fandom Elsbeth (TV 2024), Law & Order, Law & Order: Criminal Intent, Law & Order: SVU

Summary
I was 10 years late to the Law & Order: Criminal Intent party, but then fell hard in July 2021. At one bedtime in late August 2021, I mused, "I wonder what Robert Goren is doing now." I awoke thinking, "He's running a trivia game in a restaurant owned by his friend Shard." Okay, but who the hell was Shard? I had to find out. I also had a vision of a disillusioned Alexandra Eames having retreated to an apartment in Connecticut post-retirement. Her cousin, concerned after discussions with Alex's sister, invites her to dinner one Saturday evening where she re-encounters Robert Goren, whom she hasn't spoken to for over a year after having only phone/e-mail contact with him since 2012 when the FBI recruited him. The first story, "Requited," as you may guess, reunites them, and each subsequent story follows chronologically. Each story builds upon the previous one, so they should be read in order.Because I couldn't think of anything else, the series' title comes from the village in Connecticut where Goren has rented a home.

Summary
She was sinking like a stone.
Robert Goren did all within his power to cut the weight, hurling everything in his arsenal in the hope that she would realise he wasn't worth the struggle.
She was drowning. And still, Alex Eames held on. They were tethered together and it was too late to cut herself loose now—not that she was inclined to. Alex would let Bobby carry her down with him to the sediment itself.
This fic explores the relationship between Alex & Bobby through the course of S6-S10 and includes storylines from Blind Spot, Endgame, Amends, Untethered, Purgatory, Lady's Man, Loyalty, and The Last Street in Manhattan.

Summary
Like whisky, Robert Goren was an acquired taste. He knew it. She knew it (as did anyone that spent time in his company).
But Alexandra Eames liked whisky.
This story explores the deep bond between Eames & Goren. It covers the events of the series and beyond (including their interim absence during S9) with one major change. Eames's pregnancy in S3 wasn't a surrogacy for her sister. Instead, she chose to have a child on her own.
And Bobby learns to reevaluate a poignant question—is it too late?
Longfic. Slowburn. Unabashed Goren/Eames.
