Summary
A month after Final Call, Rafael Barba is at rock bottom. The thought of losing Olivia’s friendship for good sends him into a downward spiral, one that even his best friend, Rita, can’t pull him out of—no matter how hard she tries. But when Gabriela Ruiz, a sharp, 30-year-old paralegal at Rita's fim, is sent to track him down, he finds an unexpected confidante in her. What starts as shared drinks and mutual understanding turns into something messier, neither of them meant to happen.
Almost two years later, Olivia comes face to face with Rafael again. Only this time, everything is different. He’s different. And she’s forced to reckon with just how much his life has changed in her absence—and how much of that change has nothing to do with her.

Summary
Noah had a plan: get his Uncle Rafa to show up on Christmas Eve while he was away, giving his mom the chance to finally talk to the man she still missed. It wasn’t exactly subtle, but Noah was pretty sure they just needed a little push—and some mistletoe—to make things right again.

Summary
“Someone can be madly in love with you and still not be ready. They can love you in a way you have never been loved and still not join you on the bridge. And whatever their reasons you must leave. Because you never ever have to inspire anyone to meet you on the bridge. You never ever have to convince someone to do the work to be ready. There is more extraordinary love, more love that you have never seen, out here in this wide and wild universe. And there is the love that will be ready.”
― Nayyirah WaheedA season 13 au that starts right after the events in the season 12 finale, "Screwed". Rafael makes his appearance just weeks after Olivia gets the news that Elliot retired, and they start becoming close. Still reeling from being abandoned by her partner, and getting some unexpected news, will Olivia be able to let Rafael in? Will she be able to let go of Elliot? Will Rafael be able to hold on to Olivia?

Summary
It wasn’t the first time they’d argued in front of him. Then again, Noah wouldn’t really call these arguments—at least not in the way some of his friends at school described their parents fighting. Those sounded scary, sometimes mean. His mom and Uncle Rafa? They just… talked a lot.
Maybe too much.

Summary
“Carisi, you know she’s an incredibly strong woman, and she’d be offended if she knew we were having this conversation--”
“That’s what I’ve always thought,” Sonny replied. “After you, Liv has been my greatest mentor, my biggest supporter. I’ve learned so much from her. And this guy shows up outta nowhere and suddenly, he’s trying to play their dynamic like it was ten years ago?” He shook his head. “All I’m saying, Rafael...all I’m saying is that you love her, you’re her friend...talk to her? Could you please just talk to her...remind her that she’s Captain Benson, not Stabler’s junior partner?”
***
When Barba's ex, Sonny Carisi, makes a request of him, he agrees to follow through, despite the fact it means dredging up some intense and long-buried feelings on the subject.Bookmarked by twentyfive_acts
