    Summary

    In the distance, she can already hear the far away sounds of the sirens. She sets her gun down at her feet. She unclips her badge from her belt, puts it down right beside it. The spike of adrenaline is already starting to ebb and despite the cold, Olivia feels the pinprick of sweat under her arms, at the back of her neck. The air smells like blood now.

    Her right index finger feels numb.

    “I had no choice,” she repeats.

    Summary

    “I think you lied earlier,” he murmurs, voice barely above a whisper.

    Olivia purses her lips and lets out a soft huff, a feeble attempt at denial.

    “About me wanting to watch,” he continues, feeling somewhat emboldened by the fact that she isn’t walking away from him laughing. “You said that, because we both know it’s the truth. You like making me jealous.”

    I might be posting this right before Christmas, but this has nothing to do with the holidays :) This is a Zebras post-ep AU prompted by a request from @BriL_1995 on X.

    It's 15k words and I edited as much as my brain could handle, but there was no beta, so please forgive me any typos.

    Summary

    “You ever — ”

    Elliot ends the question with raised eyebrows, head tilted towards her office door. His knuckles graze the strip of skin he’s managed to expose.

    Olivia’s palm is unyielding on his chest, even as his head dips down to the crook of her neck.

    “No,” she says firmly. She’s the boss, this is her precinct; it doesn’t matter if it’s 2 AM and the whole place is dark. It doesn’t matter if his mouth is hot and quick and close as he nods, the rough bristle of his five o’clock shadow catching.

    “Ok,” he concedes. “I’ll — ”

    “Shut the door.”

    Summary

    “Still Elliot?” she asks.

    “Yeah,” he says simply, softly; so quiet she’s mostly just reading his lips over the rush of the wind.

    “Still me.”

    “So I’ll just be — ”

    Another jolt, and his fingers tighten through hers.

    She breathes, and looks straight ahead.

    “I’ll just be Olivia, then.”

    Summary

    So far the sex is just as good as she always suspected it would be–better, even, not that she’s ever going to say that to his face. It’s the rest of it she can’t settle into, like a dress she kept in the closet for years and years only to finally pull it out for a special occasion and discover it didn’t quite fit.
