The Unfortunate Pattern Of TV Shows Lying To Fans

Showrunner Dick Wolf is in hot water this week with fans of Law & Order: SVU on Twitter. Digging into the complaints, the current outcry isn’t really a surprise. Take a ship that’s been working on a slow burn for almost a quarter of a century, add in some bait-and-switch advertising, and you have a perfect storm.

While it’s true that showrunners have the right to run their shows how they see fit – and while fandom teasing is pretty much a staple of the medium – no fan appreciates being lied to. And there is very much a difference between teasing fans and lying to them.

Shippers of Elliot Stabler (Christopher Meloni) and Olivia Benson (Mariska Hargitay) have been hanging in through thick and thin for almost 25 years. Their dedication seemed like it was about to pay off, as promos for the most recent episode teased that this couple might finally – finally – kiss. Ultimately, not only did a kiss not happen but the shot featured in the promo – with Benson caressing Stabler’s face – was cut from the episode entirely.

Things happen in editing shows, and sometimes things get cut. So is this a case of “teasing fans” or lying to them? After almost a quarter of a century, it’s hard not to feel like this isn’t the latter.

Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist showrunner Austin Winsberg earned the fandom’s ire in the show’s second season when he promised the end of the dreaded love triangle. Only to very much keep the love triangle alive. Now, in this case, this was a case of the showrunner genuinely misunderstanding what “love triangles” mean in fandom spaces. He seems to have interpreted “fans hate love triangles” as “fans hate arcs in which a character can’t or won’t decide between two romantic prospects.”

Failing to realize that “making one choice and then later making another choice, and then later going back to the first choice” is, indeed, being unable to decide. Still, the promise of “no more love triangle” was followed pretty quickly by the return of the love triangle leaving fans feeling intentionally misled.

The case of Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist is a good argument for shows to have fandom consultants for showrunners who have probably not engaged in fandom spaces the way fans do and thus may mistake how things will be perceived. Winsberg professed the entire problem to have been a massive misunderstanding on his end. Perhaps that’s why fans of the series were willing to give him the benefit of the doubt and successfully fought to save the show from premature cancellation.

Veronica Mars showrunner Rob Thomas got into similar trouble for handling the show’s last season. The Logan/Veronica ship (LoVe) had been a major focus of the series and subsequent movie. It was no wonder, then, that they were outraged when the fourth season ended with Logan’s death. Adding insult to injury, Rob Thomas explained the decision by basically saying that Veronica is “boring” when she’s happy in love and not traumatized and that he wanted to completely change the concept of the show moving forward.

Veronica Mars was a particularly special case of showrunners lying to the fan base because of the unusual nature of his salvation. Fans – a large number of them LoVe shippers – had directly been responsible for funding the Kickstarter that got the film sequel to the prematurely canceled series green-lit. Which led to the show’s subsequent pickup on Hulu. And Thomas knew how invested these fans – fans he directly called upon to resurrect his series – were heavily invested in LoVe. There was even an entire series of promos featuring Kristen Bell and Jason Dohring reading LoVe fanfiction leading up to the fourth season.

Teasing fans is a natural thing for shows to do. It keeps fans engaged. It creates buzz. But, as evidenced by Veronica Mars, when fans feel like teasing has become lying, they may not stick around to give the show another chance.

Been rewatching SVU for the last 2 months or so. People who say Benson and Stabler were a thing from the start are rewriting the story. Their close friendship as far as closer than partners and showing additional concern for each other wasn’t even a thing until season 4. Kathy’s concern about Olivia was present in the first season though. So the writers have been planting seeds since the first season, but this was truly a slow burn. They had to become friend friends (aka more than work friends, season 4) then realize they’d fallen into something more than platonic they couldn’t act on (seasons 7-8). Then they became so obvious that various characters were commenting on it (basically 9-12) and then he left us.

And then Olivia got super fine and gained a tan that made people completely forget she’s naturally pale AF (seriously go back and watch the earlier seasons). And admitted she was in love with Elliot.

Now he’s back and they’ve first established the hurt and there’s work to do, then admitted Elliot is in love with Olivia. Then they established both still WANT IT and have wanted it for YEARS.

should I. should I start SVU. I love OneChicago's characters but don't trust Dick Wolf/the writers... I want a new intense long show but I'm scared to lose my favs to questionable writing again

I mean obviously I'm biased but I would say YES YOU SHOULD. Yes it's a procedural so it's not like prestige TV but I prefer it to Chicago PD. The characterization is honestly pretty steady; Olivia Benson has been on TV for 25 years and they've done a pretty good job keeping her consistent. Not perfect but she's more or less recognizably herself throughout, and it's really compelling to watch one character grow throughout all that time. If you like one Chicago and you want intense and long you kinda can't beat svu, it should be right up your alley. And if you're looking for new couples to ship you can't beat the EO 25 year slow burn, but Liv has other love interests along the way and there's rollisi so you've got some shippy options.

Worth noting there has been iirc a lot more interpersonal drama and shakeups behind the scenes at Chicago PD (I don't know anything about the other one Chicago shows and can't speak to that) than we've seen at svu; given the length of time SVU has been on the air it's had fewer showrunners (and so more consistent writing) than comparable shows, and with mariska and ice to anchor it the whole thing feels pretty cohesive given what it is. There's a major split in tone at s13 but it makes sense contextually and the wounds caused by that rift are being healed by the narrative now and you'd get to enjoy that resolution much more quickly than those of us who spent ten years thinking that was never gonna happen.

Obligatory note here that the subject matter is heavy, but that's true of Chicago PD in parts so.

So. I don't know your preferences but I'd say give it a shot!!! And if you like it pls come back here and yell at us about it 💜

"Thin Frames" - a Cabenson Fanfic full of suspense, sexiness and sweet moments!

Title of Fic: "Thin Frames"

Author: DAxilla (rest in peace <3 Your works of (fan)fiction have touched so many hearts and continue to do so!)

Fandom/Pairing: "Law and Order: Special Victims Unit", Olivia Benson/Alexandra Cabot

Synopsis: Not an alternative universe here - in this story, Olivia is working as the dedicated detective she is while Alex is exactly the passionate and ambitious ADA we've all come to love on the show! However, DAxilla gives us just what our hearts need: a beautiful, very well written, emotional love story between these two beauties. She manages to convey their thoughts and feelings with depth and never strays Out of Character, but at the same time, the fic is not your typical slow burn - however, there are still some major bump in the road to domestic bliss and hapiness because Alex is scared of letting Olivia in while Olivia has a hard time figuring the younger woman out. All of this is settled into the crime plot of the fic that really would make a great SVU episode! While the Cabenson moments in this fic are priceless (and the main reason we've all read it, c'mon!), the storyline based around the brutal mutilation and murder of upper-class business woman Samantha Wainscott, who also happens to be the daughter of Judge Wainscott, is such a creative one and composed with so much care, knowledge and detail that it left me awestruck more than once!

It's not as slow-paced as your typical slow-burn but at 31 chapters long, I can guarantee you that it makes for an compelling story that will have you go through aaaalll kinds of emotions.

I can't even express my gratitude that such brilliant pieces of FanFiction exist - and this fic is also the one that truly makes me yearn for a show that openly portrays the relationship between a strong, caring, badass detective and her beautiful, intelligent, sophisticated, no-nonsense blonde ADA girlfriend!

REVIEWING THE CHARTS: 06/04/2024 (Beyoncé's COWBOY CARTER)

Welp, as one would expect, she gets the double, the #1 album with COWBOY CARTER and “TEXAS HOLD ‘EM” is back up top. Welcome back to REVIEWING THE CHARTS!

Rundown

As always, we shall start with our notable dropouts - songs exiting the UK Top 75, which is what I cover, after five weeks in the chart or a peak in the top 40 - and this week, we bid adieu to some big deals: “FRI(END)S” by V (more BTS on the way), “BURN” by Hitler and Goebbels, “Coal” by Dylan Gossett, “Grey” by Yung Filly, “Selfish” by Justin Timberlake, “redrum” by 21 Savage, “Nothing Matters” by The Last Dinner Party, “Strangers” by Kenya Grace and finally, “Escapism.” by RAYE featuring 070 Shake.

As for our returns, we see “Flowers” by Miley Cyrus and “Someone You Loved” by Lewis Capaldi back to bottom-dwell at #75 and #74, alongside “vampire” by Olivia Rodrigo at #71, “Everywhere” by Fleetwood Mac, they’re basically all in the same boat. Notable gains on the other hand… we see boosts for “Anti-Hero” by Taylor Swift at #67, “if u think i’m pretty” by Artemas at #52, “FE!N” by Travis Scott featuring Playboi Carti at #50, “Never be Lonely” by Jax Jones and Zoe Wees at #41, sigh, “Been Like This” by Meghan Trainor and T-Pain at #40, SIGH, “Evergreen” by Richy Mitch & the Coal Miners at #38, “Slow it Down” by Benson Boone at #27 (likely even further next week thanks to the album), “Happier” by The Blessed Madonna and Clementine Douglas at #26, “Back on 74” by Jungle at #25 (what a great new run this is having), “Belong Together” by Mark Ambor at #22, and finally, Artemas gets his first top 10 with “i like the way you kiss me”. I mean, at least it’s interesting.

Now our top five should look pretty familiar: “we can’t be friends (wait for your love)” by Ariana Grande at #5, “Too Sweet” by Hozier at #4, “Lose Control” by Teddy Swims at #2 and of course Bey knocks Benjamin Boonerang off the #1 to #2 with “Beautiful Things”. Now to talk about - let’s be real - Beyoncé and some minor cameos.

New Entries

#64 - “NEURON” - j-hope, Gaeko and YOON MIRAE

Produced by Pdogg

So, j-hope of BTS released an album - or it seems more like a mixtape - that landed at #38 on the albums chart thanks to the classic BTS sales. Whilst there doesn’t appear to be a clear single on the project, especially considering j-hope was always more of a rapper in the group, but this got the video treatment and is very much what I expect from j-hope, at least from the very little I’ve heard of his solo work. It’s got a set of blissful pads against a vocoder sample and surprisingly heavy-hitting boom bap drums, as well as sing-songy rap flows in a nasal, almost J. Cole-like delivery that could be about love but keep it vaguer in the verse, it might be more conscious and spiritual, especially considering the focus on neuron activation. Gaeko is a lot more explicitly introspective, looking back on his life and how he’s not as aggressive as he used to be in his youth, finding more solace in playing ball with his son that “embracing the bomb” - some of the Genius translation could miss out some detail or context here. Now YOON MIRAE, a female rapper, really brings the heat here, as the intensity of the pianos ramp up, the beat gets a tad more minimal and she raps bilingually in a deeper yell than either of the guys here can cough up. She speaks somewhat generically of the rap game and motivation to grind, but her riffing on the final chorus is what convinces me, as well as her acknowledging that she’s granted the beat drop in the song, it shows an awareness of the structure of the song and not just being a guest rap verse, it’s clever and interesting, really puts the verse into perspective. So I ended up really liking this - it’s a bit fluffy, as K-pop often is, but it’s got grit and meaning to it this time around, and with the variety in flows, focused content, I can dig this.

#62 - “Jump” - Tyla, Gunna and Skillibeng

Produced by Sammy Sosa

I quite liked Tyla’s self-titled debut, currently at #33 on the albums chart. The South African singer brings a reassuring, youthful joy to detailed production and it’s all a light, feathery bliss that’s just a delight to sit through, even if the record is clearly not for sitting. I have a full first-impressions review on my RateYourMusic listening log (the account is exclusivelytopostown) if you want more thoughts on that, but my favourite moments on the album are when guest features with a little more smolder are brought in to balance the sweetness, like with Tems on “No. 1” and with Gunna and Jamaican deejay Skillibeng on this track, “Jump”, which has a subtle sprinkling of Afrobeats guitars and keys over the very unsubtle rhythm section, a great deep bass and busy drums that can counter the choir vocals in the verses as well as Tyla belting a tad on the chorus. There’s little substance to it - it’s just about being hot and having fun, with a hilariously repetitive post-chorus, but both Tyla and Gunna shout out her native Johannesburg and if you were expecting anything of further depth, you’re just listening to the wrong album. This is a lot of fun and I hope it catches on.

#61 - “I LUV IT” - Camila Cabello featuring Playboi Carti

Produced by El Guincho and Jasper Harris

Sometimes I wish this show was a video series. For this entry, I would probably just point and laugh at the calculated attempt to be interesting, for a demographic I’m a part of, and failing so catacylismically that no-one is buying it or bothering to listen more than once. I don’t mean to be harsh, and I’m not blaming the artists, more so the label and marketing teams: when releasing a pop single, you first have to consider - who is this for? Who can you appeal to and how? Here, Camila has her own fanbase already, so she’s going to try and appeal to them, naturally. Also, it has a very edgy, cinematic video for fans of say, The Weeknd or people who watch Euphoria. Sure, okay, that could work. Oh, and the song sounds like Charli XCX - though she recruited ROSALÍA’s producer - so she’s trying to appeal to her hyperpop crowd, that’s fine, you’re stretching yourself a bit thin there though, it could be a bit too camp for the edgy crowd if you do that, and a bit too dark for the hyperpop crowd if you get Playboi Carti on board, because I guess she needs a rap crossover audience… or at least an experimental rap crossover audience in this case. At least she’s not using a nostalgia-bait sample of a Gucci Mane song from… oh, she’s using a nostalgia-bait sample of a Gucci Mane song from 2009. Okay, so I guess the target demographic is everyone now, but hyperpop fans like authenticity, and this clearly doesn’t have it. Carti fans hate women, Camila’s own fans, if her old comments are anything to go by, hate… “rappers”, let’s say that. And really, what person who would be nostalgic for Gucci’s “Lemonade” - never charted here, by the way - would even be keeping an eye out for Camila Cabello? This is just a travesty of a lead single… and the song’s brilliant, all of that context just makes what the eventual end product is completely hilarious.

I’ve always been an advocate for mess in pop music - not necessarily the discourse, but the music itself and the rollout surrounding it - because it is exciting and part of the reason I do this show. There are more fascinating stories to be told with music when it reaches a mass audience, it’s just natural, and that’s especially interesting when the song is a Goddamn trainwreck that’s catchy as sin and does everything wrong. There are rage synths that don’t last the entire measure for no reason - and they don’t try and hide it - whilst the synths on the chorus play the role of a theremin. Cabello not being able to sing all that well means that her playing staccato, hyperpop robo-girl over a pretty rote Jersey club groove actually goes really well for her, even if she inexplicably decorates the song in breathy ad-libs as if she herself was Playboi Carti. Speaking of ad-libs, they leave in Gucci’s original “brr”s in the chorus, seemingly out of either laziness or refusal to re-record the choir hook, and given both hooks are just mantras, there are basically two choruses instead of an active chorus/post-chorus dynamic, especially since there is no considerable change sonically or tonally between the two. This lack of structure culminates in a “bridge” that is JUST multi-tracked ad-libs, and features Cabello saying “slow down, baby”… the tempo remains the same entirely and the drums don’t go into half-time like they probably should for a Playboi Carti feature. He goes for his deep, richer voice and the song just kind of… ends with his verse? Barely catching up to the beat, Carti rambles as usual, even less coherent in his mumbling than usual, and eventually, Cabello tries to insert herself into his orbit, it’s so painful. It’s telling that when I search for this song on Spotify, the artists recommended to me are Carti, Charli and then Ken Carson and Lancey Foux. Camila herself is nowhere to be seen in that list of artists and whether that’s because there’s none of her personality in this song or she didn’t have any to begin with is a question for another day. For now, this is garbage. I love it.

#60 - “Outside of Love” - Becky Hill

Produced by PARISI

Now Becky Hill kind of has something to prove to me now, she’s been on increasingly better production that fits the places she wants to go with her voice a lot more as of recent and it’s been pretty promising. Also promising are PARISI, a duo who I mostly connect with Fred again.. but have also worked extensively with Ed Sheeran, and particularly on some of his most interestingly layered songs vocally like “Afterglow” and “Visiting Hours” which may be a coincidence but had me really excited for what the boys could do with Ms. Hill. Turns out it probably was a coincidence, the vocal mixing is kind of mediocre actually, they don’t really contain her belting very well, not that it really needs containing given this is fully in festival mode. Everytrinkling synth pad, house kick, it feels like it’s a constant light fluttering under Hill’s desperate attempt to jigsaw this relationship back together. I know it’s an EDM-pop track so the lyrics are little to write home about but it should still be said that the description of herself as on the “outside of love” is interesting imagery, it makes me wonder what could be done with that concept by a more poetic writer who has a bit more time and, let’s be real, a fitting sonic palette for that kind of lyricism. Whilst this hasn’t immediately clicked with me as much as the past two, I feel I’ll appreciate this one for just being a maximalist bop with terribly-mixed gospel-like vocals on the final drop, it goes for an onslaught of everything in a very admirable way. It’s cute, it reminds me of when 2000s Eurodance hits would go way harder than they needed to simply to raise the dramatic stakes. So yeah, another Becky Hill song I like. World’s crumbling.

#9 - “II MOST WANTED” - Beyoncé and Miley Cyrus

Produced by Beyoncé, Shawn Everett, Michael Pollack, Miley Cyrus and Jonathan Rado

So, there’s a Beyoncé album, I think? It’s got a country and western tinge to it. Heard it’s long, heard it’s pretty good. Haven’t heard it. I probably will not listen to it and I’m not saying that to be “cool” or contrarian because if I were, I’d have listened to it and pretended to hate it. Realistically, I don’t have a dog in the Beyoncé does country argument. I’m not a country fan, or a country hater, I’m not a big Beyoncé fan, or Azealia Banks, so I have nothing valuable to contribute to the discourse as well as no reason to hear a damn near feature-length record. When Beyoncé did house, firstly, she did it well, and secondly, I’m a fan of house music! I know more about it than other genres, I’m quite educated in certain subgenres and I recognised a few of the samples and cultural references she was lifting from on RENAISSANCE. I feel like most of them may be lost on me or not fully resonate when discussing her pivot to country music, and I wish that wasn’t the case. Part of me just wants to say that I listen to Weezer and future bass so leave me alone. Thankfully, the British public has given me the easiest plate of two tracks from this album: a Dolly Parton cover and a mid Miley duet. It’s about being a ride-or-die, it’s got soaring guitars and both ladies have an audible rasp and grit to their voices, even if Miley ends up like a backing vocalist at times to Bey. They’re trading lyrics or in harmony nearly all the time, and Miley plays it a lot calmer than Bey, naturally, who probably wants and needs to prove herself in country pop more than the seasoned player. Hell, I actually think their chemistry here is awkward and not accentuated by the vague western-soundfont lyrics that don’t play into any notable angle, and in the bridge, just kind of give up on themselves. It’s a bit disappointing, to say the least.

#8 - “JOLENE” - Beyoncé

Produced by Beyoncé, Khirye Tyler, Jack Ro and NOVA WAV

Dolly Parton’s iconic 1973 jam “Jolene”, begging desperately for this beautiful woman not to cheat on her husband, is pretty undeniable, right? Well, I’ve never really liked it, sorry to say. My taste in country is pretty horrific, I’ll be the first to admit, but I’ve always found the instrumentation underwhelming and going for sinister when Dolly is selling it with a long of strength and desperacy, like she’s at her last tether. The sapphic elements are compelling of course, but they collapse in the third verse, then it fades out having sonically done nothing much at all. There’s always been something breezy about it to me that I never really understood, and that’s no disrespect to Dolly, she’s easily my favourite part. Regardless, this is one of those times where I have to give a chart history, so flashback to 1976, when “Jolene” first lands on the UK charts and peaks at #7, when “Combine Harvester” by the Wurzels was #1. I know that one because of my dad, if you haven’t heard that song… you know what, don’t.

“Jolene” was Dolly’s first top 10 over here and ended up re-entering a few times in the 2010s. Before that came many re-imaginings. First, in 1985, we had Glasgow’s Strawberry Switchblade cover the song, in a weird mix of new wave, freestyle and western elements that really show what performative country aesthetics can be, because this has more to do with darkwave than anything from the Deep South. It peaked at #53 and it is terrible. The 2000s is where the covers really ramped up, firstly in 2000 with the #100-peaking cover by London alt-rock outfit Queenadreena. Seemingly not on streaming, it came with their original, “Pretty Polly”, and fully goes into the dark cabaret aesthetic, especially in that... choice of a music video. I think I might prefer it to the original, it makes Jolene sound like an evil woman who I would like to step on me. We also saw a #99 peak for a song in 2007 by folk singer Ray LaMontagne also coincidentally called “Jolene” - it’s not a cover, but it’s a pretty great, tragic narrative ballad if you’re interested. Good accidental discovery to make. My favourite cover of “Jolene”, however, and the only version to get close to Dolly’s original peak until Queen Bey was the version recorded by the garage rock duo, The White Stripes, specifically a 2004 live version that peaked at #16. Now, am I biased because I love Jack White? Yes. Yes, I am, and so does Beyoncé, so shush. Everyone and their mother has covered Dolly, but out of all “Jolene” renditions I’ve heard, Jack just sounds the most devastated, and the eventual crash into distorted, hapless guitars and Meg White’s ugly-ass snares after that rushed, chaotic percussion panned exclusively to the left throughout, is incredibly cathartic. And that’s just the studio version - the live version that charted is even more dire and Jack is downright pathetic on it, worsened by the audience wooing, cheering and clapping on occasion, it eggs on Jolene in a way and publicises his angst “Jolene - Live Under Blackpool Lights” might honestly be one of the greatest cover songs of all time.

So how does Beyoncé fare? Well, she changes a lot of the lyrics to act more as a warning to people attempting to take JAY-Z instead of desperately begging Jolene not to get with JAY-Z, mostly because I don’t think Beyoncé could easily sell being helpless, especially in the context of her husband - we all heard Lemonade. I’m not sure how effectively you can sell the warning shot either considering, well, there was a Becky with some good hair who did all of this a few years ago. Sonically, I’m not head over heels for what sounds like a pretty rote rendition, even if Beyoncé’s vocals and some of the lyrics add a lot of character that simply isn’t in the instrumental. The backing vocal repeating “Jolene” at sporadic intervals, I can’t figure out exactly who it is, probably The-Dream, but he reminds me of Wyclef Jean on “Hips Don’t Lie”. That’s my intellectual observation. I just used a review of a song from the biggest black female country album ever to talk about a guy whose last name is literally White. When she releases a pop punk album, I’ll be more in tune, but for now, leave it to Azealia Banks and Spectrum Pulse, I’m sure if you combined the two, you’d create Frankenstein’s cultural critic.

Conclusion

Fascinatingly enough, this was a great week outside of Beyoncé, who takes away Worst of the Week for “II MOST WANTED” with Miley Cyrus and the Dishonourable Mention for her cover of “JOLENE”. Neither song are terrible, but I think I established in both reviews that my general disinterest for the album doesn’t entirely cover a lot of the flaws I believe are present in these tracks, I’m sorry. Again, I like Beyoncé, just not these particular records. As for the best… oh, God, it’s Camila Cabello’s “I LUV IT” featuring Playboi Carti, isn’t it? Honourable Mention goes to Tyla, Gunna and Skillibeng for “Jump” but I think I’ll have to spend a few days in rehab recovering from picking the other song as my Best of the Week. As for what’s on the horizon, more insufferable discourse as J. Cole drops a surprise diss record. Other than that, Charli XCX links with Gesaffelstein, Benson links with Boone and there’s new tracks from Bryson Tiller, Ava Max and the Imagine Dragons. All of it could chart, none of it could chart, we’ll see. For now, however, thank you for reading, long live Cola Boyy, and I’ll see you next week!

Wildcard 4

Olivia Benson x Alex Cabot x Reader

Rated M

After that night Alex coming over became a regular thing. Of course, you were still not sure about her being a part of your relationship but a little kiss here and there couldn’t hurt. Alex was a beautiful woman and her talented tongue made it a lot harder for you to say no.

Alex had a way with words and a way of making you feel like you were the most important person in the room. It was clear to see how Olivia could have fallen for the woman. Tonight was nothing new Alex spoke clearly and elegantly about her new mission. Her words dripped with sophistication and passion. Each word causes more and more liquid to drip down your thighs. Olivia watches you out of the corner of her eye knowing that you were about to burst at the seams. She carefully places her hand on your knee hiding underneath the table squeezing gently. You smiled but kept your focus on Alex. Every so often Olivia’s finger danced higher and higher up your thigh underneath your dress. The higher she went the more your breathing increased. She grins keeping her eyes glued to Alex as she speaks.

Olivia’s fingers danced on the edge of your panties causing you to gasp out loud. Alex pauses looking over at you. Your face burning crimson. The blonde chuckles “Am I missing something?”

Olivia smiles “It would seem that you have quite the effect on my pet.”

“Is that so?” the blonde asked with a grin.

Olivia nods “Yes. She seems to be dripping.”

“Huh. Mind if I take a look?” she asked looking between you and Olivia.

Olivia smiles looking over at you. “Pet?”

You look at her with a smile nodding your head.

Alex chuckles “Well maybe we should move somewhere more comfortable?”

Olivia nods grabbing your hand to lead you to the bedroom as Alex follows behind you.

Once the three of you are in the room Olivia turns to you.

“Are you sure?”

“Yes.”

She smiled. “Will you be a good girl for us tonight?”

“Yes ma’am.”

Olivia chuckles “What's the safe word baby?”

“Apple.”

“Good girl.” she praises.

“How do you want her Alex?” she asked looking back at the blonde.

“Hmm. I think she's going to need extra help staying still tonight.”

“So what do you have in mind?”

“You sit with your back to the headboard and she can sit in front of you.”

“You heard her pet! Move.”

You nod your head waiting for Olivia to settle against the bed before you take your seat in between her legs. Alex looks over you biting her lip as she crawls onto the bed.

“Strip her,” she orders.

Olivia does as she asked removing your dress and helping you lift your hips to remove your panties. Once you were bare you laid back against Olivia.

The brunette looks down at you with a smile.

Before Alex can begin Olivia holds her hand up halting her advances. The blonde nods sitting back on her feet. Olivia looks down at you with a warm smile gently lifting your chin for your eyes to meet.

“We're equals, first and foremost. Whatever happens in here is out of love and even if you feel you have no power all you have to do is say the word. You say the word and it all stops. Always.” she whispered.

You looked back at her with a smile as you nod your head. She smiled leaning down to give you a gentle kiss.

“Say it once more for Alex love.”

You smiled looking at the blonde “Apple.”

Her smile widens as she nods her head “Apple.” she repeats.

Taking a deep breath you looked back up at Olivia.

“Are you ready pet?” she asked.

“Yes ma’am.”

“Be a good girl for her.”

“Always ma’am.”

Alex smiles as your gaze returns to hers. Slowly she spreads your legs open looking at your dripping cunt. Blue eyes gaze back up to look at yours. “I want you to look at me. Watch me. Never take your eyes off me. Understand?”

“Yes ma’am.”

“Good girl.”

She hums leaning down to take a slow long lick up your folds. You gasped quietly trying your best to keep your eyes on her. She chuckles “I don't want you to hold back. I like to hear how I make you feel. Just keep those pretty eyes on me.”

You breathed deeply nodding your head.

“Words pet,” Olivia growls in your ear.

“Yes ma’am,” you whispered keeping your eyes on Alex.

She smiled lowering her head back down between your thighs. Gentle kisses are placed along your inner thighs and the edge of your cunt. She hums and moans as your scent grows with every kiss. Her fingers slowly pull apart your swollen folds.

She gasped “Awe Liv she is practically dripping.” she grins looking up at Olivia. The two share a smile as Alex looks at your face which is now turning pink.

“Oh don't be embarrassed pet. It's a compliment,” she says lowering her head back down as hers stay locked on yours. She slowly extends her tongue taking a long lick up your folds and then swirling around your clit. You moaned your eyes closing momentarily.

“Ah huh,” Alex called out from between your thighs.

“Eyes on me.”

“Sorry,” you whispered.

“It's okay.” she smiled returning to her task.

She slowly but firmly eats you out every so often looking up to make sure your eyes were on her. She moaned and hummed against your dripping folds wrapping her arms under your legs as she increased her movements.

You gasped begging your eyes to stay open as she pleased you. You knew Alex had a way with words and it was clear that her talents with her mouth didn't stop there. Olivia sits back watching her as well squeezing her thighs against your body. Alex wraps her lips around your clit sucking it in.

“Ohh.” you moaned your hips bucking upwards. She continued her assault holding your hips down with her arms as she ate you out. The pleasure became too much as your head falls back against Olivia your eyes close. Alex looks up pulling back slightly.

“Liv,” she calls out to the brunette gaining her attention. They lock eyes and Olivia nods as she grabs your face forcing you to look down at Alex.

“Eyes open pet,” she growled.

You whined nodding your head as Alex continued.

“You taste so good. Don't you want to watch me enjoy my meal?” the blonde asked with a smirk.

“Yess.” you moaned.

Olivia growls as her hand circles around your throat applying pressure.

“Yes, what?”

“Yesss..ma’am.” you stuttered.

Looking down you see the long blonde hair that tickles the inside of your thighs with every move. Her warm tongue slid up and down your folds, circling and sucking your clit. That long wonderful tongue slips its way into your opening sending your hips upwards.

“Fuck. Alex! Mhmm. Al...Alex.”

“Mhmm.” she moans deeply between your thighs.

The vibrations send your body into overdrive as your fingers lace in between those blonde locks pulling tightly.

“Fuck. Alex! Yess! God yes!” you chanted never taking your eyes off the blonde.

Olivia applies more pressure to your throat causing your body to set fire. Blue eyes gaze up at you sending you a wink as you explode on her tongue. Your mouth hangs open as you scream and chant her name. Eyes locked onto hers as she sucks every last drop.

Your body slumps against Olivia who is quick to wrap her arms around you. She whispered sweet words in your ear as Alex cleans you up with her tongue. Once she's finished she makes her way up your body with a grin.

“How was that pet?” she asked.

“Amazing. Thank you.” you smiled gasping for air.

She smiled leaning in to give you a small kiss. “No thanks needed.”

She looks up at Olivia with a smile. “No wonder you've kept her all to yourself. She's divine.”

Olivia hums kissing the side of your head. “That she is.”

The two share a moment as you snuggle deep into Olivia's arms.

“Someone’s tired,” she says looking down at you.

Olivia nods “ She needs rest. Come on baby. Let's get you comfortable.” she whispered moving from behind you.

Your body was spent so it took both women to get you under the covers and snuggled up.

“Was I a good girl?” you asked your voice heavy with sleep.

Olivia nods her head with a smile. “A very good girl. Get some rest sweetheart.”

Olivia’s POV:

Once I got you into bed I closed the door behind me softly. Walking into the living room I joined Alex on the couch.

“She’s really something Liv. You're lucky.” the blonde says.

I nod my head with a smile “Yeah I am.”

The blonde smiles.

It's quiet for a moment neither one of us knowing what to say next. It's been so long since either one of us was in a situation like this.

“I..umm I really missed you, Al.” I Stuttered.

“I missed you too,” she whispered.

I know I shouldn't. I know it's wrong but I can't help it. It's been so long since I've been able to have her this way. So long since I've been able to enjoy her smile, her laughter, her perfume. Leaning in closer I slowly move in to kiss her. She doesn't pull away as I expect in fact she leans in with me until our lips are dancing against each other. I moan into the kiss pulling her closer to me. She hums wrapping her arms around my neck as my tongue explores her mouth. After a while air becomes necessary as we pull apart from each other breathing heavily. Alex rests her forehead against mine. Taking a chance I look up into her dark blue eyes.

She sighs “What are we going to do?”

I know what she's asking and why she's asking. Which only makes the guilt in my stomach rise further into my throat. Shaking my head I sighed “I don't know.”

Castle fanfiction featuring the cast of Law and order svu

Why did you elbow me? 156

Achilles Castle part 58

Lemonade and lies part 1

Captain Kate Beckett: pov It's early in the morning when I get the call about the dead body, I have a little bit of a headache and my throat is irritated. Castle is still sleeping, I still feel tired. I quietly sneak out of bed without waking Castle up. We have something planned for tonight, a nice quiet dinner at home. I take my meds, and manage to fill my pod by myself. I grab a Grey shirt, black blazer and black pants. In the shower I squirt some strawberry scented shampoo in my hair. After my 5 minute shower. I quickly ate some premade oatmeal. I don't feel 100% today.

Kevin Ryan: pov my phone is ringing its Kate calling we have a dead body I get out of bed and jump in the shower for a very quick shower. I head into the kitchen and eat some egg burrito-like thing. That Jenny made me in advance for the week. It tastes great. I wash it down with some orange juice.

Javier Esposito: pov Lanie gets the call early in the morning about a dead body we decided to shower together to save water. While Lanie is putting shampoo and conditioner in her hair I'm washing my body. After our quick shower we head to the kitchen and have a quick bagel, with coffee and tea to wash it down before we leave.

Captain Kate Beckett: pov the crime scene Lanie says the guy died between 2 and 4am based on decomposition. His face is unrecognizable, he was tortured, he has no fingerprints since they are burned off, no teeth and his pants are also bloody, and put on backwards. I have Ryan and Esposito look into where the guy was last night and if anyone knows who he is.

Lanie Parish: pov upon further inspection I realize I have no way of identifying this guy. This is going to be hard, I tell Kate I'm taking him back to the morgue. Kate doesn't look like she feels good. At the morgue the body is put on the slab also known as the autopsy table. As I start to cut his clothes off and roll him over I notice his butt is covered in blood and there is some trauma to the area. I immediately call Kate who is still at the crime scene to let her know because this might be a sex crime. She says she will call Captain Benson at SVU.

Sergeant Javier Esposito: pov me and Ryan are interviewing people who could be possible witnesses to the crime or know who the person is. We both are knocking door to door asking the neighbors if they know who the guy is since we have no idea who he is.

Kevin Ryan: pov so far none of the neighbors are helpful. One person mentions that a lot of women visit his place at night. His doorbell camera may have caught the person or his killer. I thank the guy named Ned for the footage and head to the precinct to look at the footage.

Captain Kate Beckett: pov the crime scene has not much to go on. I have ESU dust for fingerprints. We might get lucky, the victim or the murder might have left their fingerprints on something. I call Liv letting her know I have a murder victim, possible sex crime. She says it's a slow day at the precinct and her squad can come over to help.

Castle: pov I'm getting some work done on my computer Kate is trying to keep me updated on the case as best as she can. Since Rook took the bullet for Niki I'm thinking she takes one from him except she is wearing a vest. For lunch I'm ordering takeout.

Manhattan SVU

Amanda Rollins: pov this morning was slow. I got out of bed, went to the bathroom shower and got dressed in a pink shirt and Grey pants. While Carisi is making breakfast I'm getting Jessie and Billie ready for school. All 4 of us sit down and eat the eggs with bacon which are so good, a nice glass of cold apple juice washes it all down. I drop the girls off at school on the way to work.

Captain Olivia Benson: pov i untangle myself from Bri and get up and get ready for the day i take a quick shower while Cassidy is nice enough to stop and buy me and himself some coffee and egg sandwiches this morning. He got Noah a bagel with butter and fruit punch to wash it down. Noah wakes up and I mention Cassidy was nice enough to get us some breakfast before he leaves for work. Once Noah is dressed I drop him off at school and head to work.Today is starting off slow, Kate From the 12th precinct called letting me know her murder victim might be a sex crime. I offered to help her with the case.

Fin: pov Liv is telling us Kate at the 12th precinct has a homicide victim with no way to Id him. Looks like a possible sex crime. She says we are heading to their precinct today to help them out. She asks if anyone wants to stay here in case we get a case. Amanda offers to stay, she has more than enough experience.

Grace Muncy: pov Captain Kate Beckett is waiting for us at the crime scene. Me and Joe are going to help Sergeant Fin and Sergeant Esposito look for anything at the crime scene that can I'd the guy. Captain Benson and Captain Beckett are heading back to the precinct.

Joe velasco: pov Sergeant Fin found some papers that were shredded they could possibly tell us who the guy is. The ride back to the precinct is short. Fin called Captain Benson to let her know we found some shredded papers. Captain Beckett's husband ordered some pizza for us and a salad for Kate on the side.

Kate: pov thanks for the food Castle you didn't need to do that Esposito or me could have easily gotten the food.

Castle: pov Kate when you are invested in a case you forget to eat and with your heart you need to eat.

Fin Tutuola: pov Esposito grabs some paper plates and water bottles for us. We are all sitting in the conference room eating and chatting. To be continued. ………
