"No string attached," I'd tell everyone, "it's no big deal."

But I know I'm tethered to you, even if we were to be separated by circumstances beyond our control.

42 for all the universe couples

42. What’s their relationship like with each other’s friends/families?

Too Far Gone

Tia and the Matthews' now get along great. His sisters were thrilled to find out they were dating and they had multiple girls nights that summer. Alex has flown to Montreal or NY to meet up with Tia when she is travelling and get a little girls trip in. Her relationship with his parents is now good, they definitely had hot/cold moments (all because of Tia and her issues) but Ema learned to give her some space and not push too hard and Tia would get through it.

Auston has accepted what Paul did, he has forgiven him, but he isn't his favourite person. Paul visits sometimes (and he is going to Sweden to see them) but if Auston didn't see Paul he wouldn't care. When around Paul he is friendly and doesn't make any sort of rude remarks, but they are by no means best friends. Ema has flown to Toronto a few days before a road trip ended and spent time with Tia and the grandkids, Paul wouldn't consider being in Toronto or Arizona if Tia wasn't there.

No Strings

Nicole doesn't have a large family, but her relationship with the few family members she does have is complicated and as a result Fred's relationship with them is too. She rarely returns home to visit, and her family doesn't have a lot of money so they don't visit. The family she does have, has made comments about Fred's money, and once they found out what he does/how much he makes a bunch started reaching out which only lead to Nicole pulling away even more.

Fred's family loves her and she loves them!

The still unnamed Michael Bunting Fic

Mike's family loved Hadley. His mom thought they would be good together back in high school but she never said anything and didn't understand why they stopped being friends for a few years. She was thrilled when Mike brought her home as his girlfriend.

Hadley's dad has some concerns, mainly because of what happened during high school and the type of person Mike is/was. Mike always liked her stepmom when they were growing up, but once they started hanging out as adults and he saw the type of person she really is, he has issues. He isn't mean or rude to her he is just guarded. Her stepsister and him get along well enough now, but Marci tried to get between them and did some stuff before they started dating and Mike remains cautious of her for a bit.

Send me a number and I’ll answer this about any of my couples!

In ‘No Strings,’ Willie Cole Transforms Instruments into Abstract Animals and Figurative Sculptures

Artist Willie Cole is known for transforming discarded materials into sculptures with a tenor of interrogation. Much of his three-dimensional work revolves around found objects like high-heels, plastic bottles, or ironing boards that he turns into pieces of cultural commentary, addressing issues of mass production, historical legacies, and identity.

The Greatest of All Time, Fred Astaire, sings “No Strings (I'm Fancy Free)” from the film Top Hat (1935)

“I wake up every morning with a smile on my face Everything in its place as it should be I start out every morning just as free as the breeze My cares upon the shelf Because I find myself with No strings and no connections No ties to my affections I'm fancy free and free for anything fancy No dates that can't be broken No words that can't be spoken Especially when I am feeling romancy Like a robin upon a tree Like a sailor that goes to sea Like an unwritten melody I'm free, that's me So Bring on the big attraction My decks are cleared for action I'm fancy free and free for anything fancy”

No Strings Ch 1

Warnings: Sex, smut, sometimes some regular talk of the SVU job, the usual

It was the middle of August, and the heat of New York hit you like a sauna as you stepped out onto the street, thankful that despite it being kind of a work gathering, you’d opted for fitted dress shorts. At least the tank top you chose was buttoned and collared, makeup and hair fresh after the day spent with friends out in the city. Luckily the humid evening made for a pleasant walk down to the bar; it was some lawyer’s birthday, Trevor? You thought his name was, a casual night some of the squad had invited you to join that you’d happily accepted. You had been at SVU for nearly 10 months now, but was still labelled the “new girl” and wanted to make sure you showed the support to the squad both in AND outside of work. 

Pushing the door to the pub, distracted, replying to a couple of texts on your phone as you  headed up to the bar, tossing down your card & waiting for the bartender. As you leaned over, smiling to greet them was when you gained attention from the A.D.A. you DID know, who, used to only seeing you in dress clothes, hair neatly tied back, in professional mode, tried to hide his gaze as his eyes wandered up your curves exposed to the humid August night.  He certainly wasn’t used to this feeling, and he definitely felt the blood rushing to a work inappropriate area.The two of you had worked lots of cases over the time you’d spent at SVU many involving long office hours, long nights playfully (and sometimes not so playfully) bickering back and fourth. Completely professional, but you had gotten along, friends even, you may have been new, but you were smart, quick witted, and had a fire behind your eyes that he definitely wanted to see more of.

“Double Lagavulin, 2 cubes, please. Can you keep the tab open?” You said sweetly, smiling at the bartender as he nodded, pouring your scotch before you spotted Olivia, heading over to her table to join in on the festivities. Luckily, despite her being the Sergeant, she’d been quick to take Y/N under her wing, especially outside work since they had some similar personal history. 

“Hey” Liv greeted warmly, “What is this, casual Friday?” She laughed.

“Wow Sarge….” Y/N retorted, laughing herself, “I was out with friends, and it’s a million degrees out there. Give a girl a chance to not wear business attire and she’s gonna!” Smiling as you took a generous sip of your drink, you noticed Barba seemed quiet, strangely out of character. “What? Ya’ never seen a girl drink a scotch before?” You gave him a little nudge, breaking him out of his trance. He shook his head, exhaling a laugh as he rolled his eyes playfully.

“Just never thought you’d be the one drinking it” He replied, taking a sip of his own. He looked nice tonight, still the put together man you knew from work, but simply in a dress shirt, unbuttoned a few buttons, sleeves rolled up already to combat the heat. You had to admit, you did miss the suspenders, but this casual Barba was something you could definitely appreciate. 

“You think just ‘cuz I’m the newest on the squad and I’m a girl I’d rather a cosmopolitan?” You quirked an eyebrow.

“A Cosmo? Hmm…no, definitely not….” He paused, thinking, “Long Island, vodka cran maybe…” You threw back a laugh,

“Barba please, you know Y/L/N’s a not like that, she’s proven that over her time at SVU, let her drink her scotch in peace.” Olivia laughed from beside you. You gave Barba a wink as an unfamiliar man joined the table. “Y/L/N, This is Trevor Langan!” She introduced you.

“Hi! Happy Birthday!” You exclaimed as you shook his hand, “Glad I could finally meet you.” He turned to Liv, offering to buy her a drink, and the two of them disappeared to the bar. A moment passed before the man next to you nudged your arm, bringing you back to reality.

“You did really well on the Miller case, it was a rough one. Without your interrogation or testimony I doubt we would’ve won it.” 

“Thanks” you gave a soft smile, “Never knew you were one for following up with congratulators Mr Barba.” He smiled over his glass at you across the small table, thinking how beautiful you looked, relaxed, sun kissed, hair flowing across your shoulders, and outside the squad room, how he wished he could see you like this more often, your relaxed frame making him weak.

“You know, you can call me Rafael.” Your eyes widened slightly, the ADA certainly wasn’t this friendly with all the other detectives, but you weren’t about to protest. “Now,” He smiled, “How ‘bout another drink?” You smirked, grabbing his empty glass with yours as you twirled yourself around the man

“I’ve got a tab” With a wink, you were off to the bar to get some refills.

*****

A few hours of flirtation, casual work talk, and a few more scotch’s, and you found yourself settling your tab at the bar before heading over to the stragglers of the group to say your goodbyes. Rafael, Fin, and Carisi were the ones left, Olivia & Amanda having left earlier for mom duty. None of you were overly drunk, happily tipsy, and each in complete control of yourself. You headed to the booth, grabbing your bag as you started your goodbyes. Barba turned to you and asked which way you were going, when you replied “Midtown” he said he was heading in the same direction and offered to go with you.

“Barba please, It’s a short walk, I can manage”

“Seriously, you work for SVU and you’re going to walk home, alone, in the middle of the night, after a few drinks?” He raised his eyebrows at you. 

“What? I show a little leg & I’m not allowed to go outside alone?” You joke, rolling your eyes, as you glanced around the table you knew if you didn’t accept his offer now, there was no way Carisi was letting you leave that bar alone either. “Fine, c’mon.” You gesture to Rafael, “G’night guys, I’ll see ya Monday” you gesture to the other men left at your table as you head out into the sweet summer night with the Cuban you’ve not so secretly been dying to be alone with all night.

The two of you small talk along the way, his hand occasionally brushing yours, the usual joking, sassing, you could keep up with each other like no one else could. Within 15 minutes, you reached your apartment door. As you slowed to a stop, Raf looked back at you slowly realizing the night was nearly over, a swell of sadness took over his eyes for a flash.

“You weren’t kidding?”

“Nope. Nice and close, would’ve been totally fine” 

“A lot can happen in 15 minutes…:”

You rolled your eyes, knowing that New York could be dangerous, but also knowing that you were a detective, currently without her shield and gun, you recognized his concern. You also recognized that this moment, was probably the best chance to shoot your shot. “Well, you’re already here…how about a nightcap?” Your cocked eyebrow and smug grin was all Rafael needed to nod his head as he followed you into the building.

“Make yourself at home” You gestured into the apartment, Rafael took in your home as he made his way in, the door opened right into a very open concept, kitchen against the wall, island & small dining table “separating” it from the living room. A tv, small keyboard, and shelves full of your favourite books and nick-nacks filled the space facing the floor to ceiling windows leading out to the patio. 

“Wow…” Rafael commented as he looked around, he was impressed, and happy to be getting more of an insight into your life. “How can you afford this on your salary?” He didn’t mean to be intrusive, it just came out. You giggled from the open kitchen, a sound he could definitely get used to, before replying, as you poured two glasses of scotch. 

“I’m pretty sure if I tell you, I’d have to kill you.” You looked over to him in the living room, admiring the wall behind the keyboard as you handed him his glass, brushing up against him a little closer than in the bar. 

“Did… you take these?” He suggested towards the small canvas prints on the wall, all of New York, some detailed pictures of people in iconic places.

“Yeah…I dabbled with photography for a while in school, needed some kind of side hustle.” You shrugged it off. “But c’mon, the real magic isn’t in here!” You lit up, grabbing his hand as you pushed open the door to the patio, a small, but still lavish spot. A small jacuzzi in the corner, comfy benches, but most importantly, an amazing view of the city in front of you. 

“Well this view certainly is something” Rafael murmured, taking a swig of his drink before he placed it down on a table, and approached your back as you took in the warm summer air. His brain ran through a million different moments over the past few months, over the evening at the bar, and came to a quick conclusion. You jumped a little as you felt him right behind you, his hands on your hips, his breath on your neck. “But this is something else.” He whispered quietly.

“Raf…” You breathed. He pulled your body tight into his, feeling the hotter heat from him than the air. His hands snaked around your midsection, staying respectable as his lips began their assault on your neck, Slowly and very deliberately making their way down to your shoulder, slowly pulling your top further from your neck.He slowly moved back up as his fingers traced feather light trails up and down your sides, slowly playing down your hips until his lips found that sweet spot on your neck. A little nip first, to judge your reaction, a gasp of satisfaction, he smirked, biting down harder, then quickly kissing the same spot. You whispered a moan as he turned you in his arms to face him, you were flushed and breathless, completely at his whim. 

“Yes cariño?” He murmured, his pointer finger circled under your chin, bringing it up to face him, your eyes wide and excited, pupils blown with lust. Without replying, you reached up to the back of his neck, pulling him into a kiss, feeling his lips on yours for the first time was exactly what you’d imagined. Soft, yet assertive, you may have made the first move but there was no question who was in control anymore. He slid his tongue across your lower lip and you let him into your mouth, massaging his tongue with yours, moaning into his mouth, no kiss before had ever been quite like this one, the fire surging through your body. His hands found your hips, pulling you tightly against his strong body, arms wrapping tightly around your back, a hand slowly creeping down to cup your ass.  You shivered a little bit, not sure if it was the New York breeze or a reaction of the kiss, Rafael slowly pulled away from you, looking down with soft eyes.

“Should we maybe head inside?” His eyebrow cocked, that usual smug smirk on his face, you gently laughed, shaking your head before kissing him again, slowly walking backwards into the apartment, barely able to detach yourself from his body. “Wait…”He muttered, your heart briefly stopped, was this not what he wanted? “This stays professional, no strings attached okay? We both know neither of us have enough time for anything more than that.”

“Of course.” You looked up lightly smiling, “We’re way too busy, and the whole dating someone you work with, not a great idea. I understand.” He smirked at you, you were at a mutual understanding before he kissed you again, you nipped gently at his bottom lip before descending onto his neck, ever so slowly starting to unbutton his shirt before dropping it to the floor. Rafael softly stroked your cheek, his green eyes delicate, but full of fire at the same time.

“You are absolutely stunning.” He whispered, showing off that soft side before pulling you into a deep kiss again, it was hot and heavy, his hands grabbed at the back of your thighs, lifting you up as you wrapped your legs around his hips, grinding against him as he moaned into your mouth. “Bedroom?” He managed.

“End of the hall” You breathed against his lips, pulling him even closer to your body, earning for any amount of friction and contact you could get. He put you down on your feet as he pulled away from your lips, his hands travelling from your face, ghosting across your neck, before hitting the top button of your blouse. His eyes followed his hands as he slowly undid the first two buttons.

“You’re sure this is okay?” Rafael looked directly into your eyes at the last question, needing your 100% approval.

“Yes” You whimpered back to him.

“Say stop, and I’ll stop, I promise.” You nodded, tip toeing up to his lips again as he quickly pulled off your shirt, starting to unbutton your shorts as you reached behind to undo your own bra, dropping it all to the floor. His touches were torturously slow, making their way along your exposed skin before they hit your ribs, his hands gripping your sides as his thumbs skimmed across the underside of your breasts. You sharply inhaled, wanting more, craving more, needing more, but Rafael knew what he was doing, and he loved it. With just that teasing touch, his hands trailed back down your sides until the reached your hips, he let one hand trail across your thigh before he slowly swiped at your folds through your underwear. You fully pulled away from his lips and gasped, burying your face in his neck. He chuckled, slowly, and ever so softly circling your clit. “Oh cariño, this all for me?” He smirked, using his free hand to move your head to face him.

“Yes.” The teasing was killing you, you’d already been pining after the Cuban A.D.A for months, and this certainly wasn’t helping your need. Rafael mumbled something in Spanish as he pushed you back on the bed, letting you watch as he slowly undid his belt, dropping his pants to the growing pile of discarded clothes on the floor. Slowly climbing over you he kissed you again, deeply, as your hands wrapped around his back. He took his time kissing down your body, sucking a nipple into his mouth as his thumb & forefinger toyed with the other one, pinching slightly, making you moan. You could feel his smirk against your skin as he continued his assault down your body until he reached your hips. Ever so lightly, he pulled your panties off, kissing up your leg as he made his way back up to where you craved his contact with your skin. He spread your legs, his breath warm against your thighs and swore in Spanish before poking his head up so you could see his face.

“As I said….completely stunning” He winked before biting the inside of your thigh, making you gasp.

“Raf….please!” You begged, pushing your hips up right before his mouth swung back down, swiping your folds. He slowly teased you, fuck if you ever brought this man a case file on time again if this was his strategy, you thought. His mouth enveloped your clit, a tiny few licks against it before sucking it into his mouth. You swore, your hands flying to his hair, ruining the perfect coif. Rafael alternated between licking you and sucking your clit before laying back on your clit, and slowly sinking a finger inside of you, slowly torturously pumping it in and out. “Fuuuuuck” Was about all you could say as a second finger slowly entered with it, scissoring you, preparing you. Those fingers slowly curled up, hitting just the right spot, and you moaned loudly, a few more hard sucks while he tapped your g-spot and you were cumming hard, thriving against him as he held your hips down on the bed.

You could imagine the smirk on his face before you saw it, even as you came down from your orgasm. Rafael slowly kissed up your body, settling on your lips again, you could taste yourself, and fuck that was somehow even sexier. He gave you a minute to recover, trailing his fingers across your thighs & lower abdomen. You smiled into his neck, taking the opportunity to play back and nip at his skin as your hands snaked down his body, pushing at the waistband of his boxers. Doing his best to assist you, he kneeled back on his haunches, relieving himself from the confines of the boxers, before tossing them to the ever-growing pile on the floor. You tried to hide your excitement as you took him all in, you knew he was cocky in the courtroom, and there certainly was a reason why. Nudging your thighs apart with his knee he moved in-between them, lowering down to take a nipple in his mouth again, nipping at it before pulling back and looking you in the eye again.

“Are you sure?”

“Yes, Raf, please” You practically begged.

“Are you on the pill?” He questioned quietly, you nodded, mentioning you were clean, been tested recently before he lowered himself over you, slowly sliding into you, causing you both to moan out in satisfaction. It was like you were made for each other, the way you fit together, he stretched you like no one ever before, but it wasn’t painful at all, you were in complete ecstasy.

“Oh my god Rafa..” You breathed into his ear as he settled against you, nipping at your earlobe.

“Fuck you feel amazing” He breathed back as he slowly pulled out before pushing back into you, creating a rhythm. You felt incredible, this was absolutely nothing you’d ever dreamed of happening, and your body was on fire, each thrust pushing you closer to the maximum. You pulled Rafael close and kissed deep, pulling his lower lip with you as you pulled away before practically begging.

“Harder….please” He looked down at you before smirking again and pulling out.

“Okay carino, if that’s what you want” As he gently swatted at your hip, motioning for you to turn over. You propped yourself up on your elbows, waggling your ass to him as he realigned himself before pushing in, hard and fast, his thrusts pounding you deeper into the bed.

“Fuck! Raf” You nearly screamed as you could feel every ridge hitting you in all the right spots, his hands digging into your hips tightly, there was no doubt you were going to be marked by him tomorrow. Barba kept pounding into you, reaching a hand around over to your clit, quickly rolling it between your fingers as yours dug into the sheets of the bed.

“Come for me carino…” He pulled you up his chest flush against your back, fingers working against you, thrusting into you front behind “Come for Papi, now.” With that little added word, you were gone, his arm dropped from your chest as you fell forward to the mattress, moaning his name as he fucked you through your orgasm as his slowly took him over. He slowed his thrusts as he came, gently hovering his body above yours as he kissed the back of your neck and shoulders. “Good girl” he praised in a whisper, slowly removing himself from you as he collapsed on his back on the other side of the bed. 

Both of you needed a few moments of heavy breathing coming down from you session before you turned to face Rafael.

“Holy shit…” You breathed.

“Agreed” Rafael muttered as he reached over to you, pulling you into his side, letting you cuddle into his side for a few long moments before he continued his thoughts. “I….I hate to ruin the moment but, remember, no one from work needs to know about this, okay?”

You barked a quiet laugh at his comment, “You….hate to ruin the moment…isn’t that your number one quality?” He snickered, giving your ass a smack, “Don’t worry Barba, I’m not saying anything. Could you imagine the field day Carisi would have with something like this?!” You both laughed heartily as he pulled the duvet up over both of you, holding you gently until you fell into a gentle sleep. He kissed your forehead, pulling himself quietly from your bed, picking up his clothes before he snuck from your apartment, there was no good in sleepovers between coworkers.

Ok. That's it. I had enough of dating. I need someone to love bomb with no strings attached cause apparently people don't like strings so i found a solution . Let me tell you some examples of the mentioned love bomb:

1. They are sitting there silent doing whatever they do, i pass by, give them their cup of warm coffee, kiss their forehead gently and leave.

2. They had a bad day, i hug them, stroke their hair

&...

Life is hard as a lover girl.

So much love to give but nowhere to spend it. I wish i had this situation going on with my fckn money not the love inside of me. Damnit.

Individual/Personal Gifting

It is good to giveIt is better to give than to receive Some people give generouslyOut of the abundance of their hearts Some give out of compulsionYet some give out of obligationAnd some, like the pharisees, give to be seen Yet some give with an ulterior motive and for what they expect to get back in return These kind of people have no reward The best giving is to give to those who are unable…
