Day 2!
Casey x Elliot
(This is platonic, these two are besties)
——-
*this takes place after Casey made her comeback after her Brady violation, that episode^^
Casey, hitting the ball so hard the damn thing almost broke: I can’t believe that happened…
Elliot, catching, and pitching back: I know, but you did everything you could, Cass, don’t beat yourself up about it.
Casey: I know..It’s just..It’s nothing.
Elliot: If it’s bothering you, it’s not nothing, Cass. Put the bat down let’s talk, I got you.
Casey, tossing the bat onto the field, sitting down against the fence with Elliot:…Alright alright.
—
Elliot threw away the bat, and turned to Casey. “so what’s beating you up? Because I know you when you loose…Your upset but your never..dull.” He said, uncharacteristically gentle. He would never dare admit it out loud, but he cared about Casey. A lot. He only grew up with brothers, so Casey was the only thing he had close enough to an annoying little sister. Casey fussed with the ball, fingers running along it. “…I just don’t think I have it anymore, Elliot…The defense attorney was right, my reputation took the worlds biggest nose dive, my first case back was a disaster, I lost my touch, and my confidence…” she sighed, waving her hand in the air. He had never seen Casey so bummed out before, usually she was a sassy, sarcastic, ball of confidence. That sent his worry through the stratosphere.
“Cassandra Novak I’m not gonna listen to you trash talk yourself like that. The only person we drag is munch. Listen.”
Casey’s attention was grabbed at her full name comming out of Elliot’s mouth. No one called her Cassandra, not even herself. Casey was much more fitting, Cassandra just…wasn’t her. But that certainly didn’t stop her old school catholic mother from using it, deeming the name ‘Casey’ to boyish, that she was a lady and needed to behave as such.
No error, no anger, no mess, and no rough edges.
Elliot knew that side all too well.
And weirdly enough, Cassandra sounded right coming from him. Maybe it was what he was gonna say next.
“Casey. You’re a great prosecutor period. Your success rate is almost 30% higher then the standard, you graduated from Harvard law, you worked sex crimes straight out of white collar and saved a little girl on your first day. You.are.phenomenal. And I won’t hear you belittle yourself over a liar, a mistake, an attorney, and a god forsaken case.” Elliot was sure he hadn’t spoken so passionately in months, but for Casey he was willing to break that trend.
“…”
“…”
“you son of a bitch if you make me cry in this field I’ll have your ass a swear-“
Elliot laughed, there she was. He wrapped a brotherly arm around her shoulders, “Crybaby. A very talented crybaby.” He teased, messing up her hair, laughing when she swatted it away.
“It won’t last forever, Casey. It’s just a slump, you’ll be back..and I’ll be waiting for you, promise..I care about you, as long as I’m here you’re not alone in this confidence slump.” His eyes never leaving hers, he meant it. There want a single shred of insecurity in his promise.
And Casey could tell.
“…Thank you, Elliot..Seriously..I needed that..” She said. The two held each other accountable, she talked him down with softball before he went insane over a case, and he was always there to pull her out of a slump or be her partner in crime whenever making a questionable decision that would get them in trouble with Cragen.
“…”
“your hair looks ridiculous-“ Elliot laughed, even if he was the one who messed it up, he always took the opportunity to mess with her.
“says the one who bearly has any! Your hairline is running away from you as we speak!” She shot right back, before they broke out into hysterical laughter.
“is not! You’re the ginger!” Elliot managed, smoothing over his hair while Casey fixed hers, “You—“ she tried, but only more giggles fell out.
“We look like lunatics-“
“Don’t we always?”
“…Fair point, councilor-“ Elliot chuckled, tossing the soft ball bats back in the trunk, before turning to Casey after a bout of comfortable silence.
“Novak?”
“Yeah?”
“I love you.”
A genuine smile graced Casey’s face, probably the most genuine one all day.
“I love you too, stabler.”
…
“..You’re still a ginger though.”
“Oh for fucks sake-“
Olivia: how was it like to date the smallest man who ever lived?
Casey:…Olivia put the Taylor swift and my ex down- it’s 4am- plea—
Olivia:…A MESSAGE TO THE SMALLEST MAN WHO EVER LI—
*Decked in the face with a file*
I’m starting a random daily ship post, because why not?
Day 1: Benovak (my beloved)
—
Olivia, busting into Casey’s office: CASSANDRA NOVAK-
Casey, who was burried in a pile of Chinese take out up until now: I swear to you, I have no idea how Taft felt down his stairs and broke his shins-
*dead silence*
Olivia:…I’m sorry, WHAT HAPPENED TO TAFT???
Casey: WAIT THATS NOT WHY YOUR MAD??
Olivia: No! Babe, I was a BIT MAD WHEN I FOUND OUT YOU STAINED OUR SHOWER WITH THE PURPLE SHAMPOO- WHAT DID YOU DO TO TAFT???
Casey:…Oh that I did do, the shampoo, sorry honey I’m still getting used to the blonde-
Olivia: IS HE ALIVE-?!
Casey, grabbing her briefcase: SUDDENLY I HEAR THE GLORIOUS VOICE OF DONALLEY-
Olivia: CASSANDRA NOVAK SHES BEEN ON VACATION- WHAT DID YOU DO-?!
Meanwhile in the squad room:
Elliot:…
Melinda:…
Huang: They are my Roman Empire.
Elliot: I failed history what does that mean-?
Melinda:…Your a man and it shows, Elliot-
Elliot: RUDE???
The Squad playing ‘pass the phone’
Casey: I’m passing the phone to someone who dated a walking red flag with a receding hairline line on and off since season 1.
Olivia:…OKAY CAS—
Olivia: I’m passing the phone to someone who has IAB fighting for their lives.
Eliot:…I’m not that bad! That’s an exaggeration- anyway, I’m passing the phone to someone who KEEPS DISAPPEARING FOR SOME STRANGE ASS REASON-
Alex: I HAD A REASON! MOST OF THE TIME- Anyway, I’m passing the phone to the bodyguard of the squad, love you fin!
Fin: I’ll take that, anyways I’m passing the phone to the bony ass that refuses to retire-
Munch:…First of all-
Munch: what ever, You know back in the day in the—
(John say the line!!)
Munch: fine! I’m passing the phone to someone whose hair has been left at an AA meeting for the past 30 years-
Cragen: Okay so fuck you-
Cragen: I’m passing the phone to the man who started the sassy man apocalypse-
Rafael: And I stand on business- I’m passing the phone to the person who’s family genuinely needs psychiatric intervention-
Amanda:…OKAY-
Amanda: I’m passing the phone to someone who we can all agree makes the meanest pasta-
Sonny: Period- anyways, I’m passing the phone to someone who almost went gray dealing with Casey Novak trying to charge the military with murder-
Branch: She’s gonna kill me one day- I’m passing the phone to someone who is in desperate need of a vacation-
Olivia: me again- okay, I’m passing the phone to someone who we all randomly hated for months until we randomly stopped, kinda- one day-
(Then I accidentally fell inlove with her)
Casey: I’m still telling my therapist about that- anyways, I’m passing the phone BACK TO THE WOMAN WHO CANT GET OVER ELLIOT-
Olivia: AND IM PASSING THE PHONE TO SOMEONE WHOS HAD MORE HAIR COLORS THAN I CAN COUNT-
Casey: IM PASSING THE PHONE TO SOMEONE WHO CANT KEEP A HAIR STYLE FOR ONE SEASON-
Olivia: IM PASSING THE PHONE TO SOMEONE WHO IS IN SO MUCH DENAIL IT SETS OFF EVERY GAYDAR IN THE AREA-
Casey: HEY THA—
Olivia: I’m passing the phone to someone who defends and is STILL NOT OVER HER EX -
Casey: THATS DIABOLICAL.
I actually want to fight the entire SVU for how they treated Casey, it was so uncalled for
Literally not a single thought behind those eyes, I fear
She just likes staring at Olivia and that's okay
“love was the law and religion was taught”
okay, casey novak, we hear you.
alex has such a reputation for being icy and unmoving but her eyes are so expressive like just because shes not crying doesnt mean shes not falling apart
Olivia benson please cuff me and slam me to the wall
Casey has her face in the white powder yet again, are we surprised
Alex likes to go read in the park, sitting under a tree by the softball fields. Casey has practice some afternoons, and let’s just say she’s always getting injured. Whenever she does they sit together, and Alex reads to her from whatever book she’s reading that week. They both have a crush on each other; they just don’t know it yet.
I will always love the way Alex talks, she over-pronounces every word in whatever she’s saying and I’m so here for it- like in the episode ‘Baby Killer’ when she says ‘The minor lacked the capacity to understand the consequences of his actions’ Chefs. Kiss💋
do you guys think casey is aware she’s very attractive and have men and women drooling over her? like does she know this and does she take it to her advantage? i feel like she does though. like her daily mantra when she does her makeup and hair would be “im fucking gorgeous and everyone is obsessed with me. they’ll do anything i say. the world is my bitch” and she just knows as long as she has her face card she can make (some) things work in her favor.
What I think some of the ADAs do while waiting for a jury verdict:
Rafael: he’s either A, fighting off a headache and practically downing ibuprofen- or he’s squabbling with Liv- heavy in the last one-
Alex: Skimming though law Text books for absolute funsies (also because she’s over thinking the court cases she mentioned during indictment and she has to double check or Liz will never hear the end of it-) that or she would go chat it up with Cragen over some drinks (only Alex is drinking, cragens AA boys would have his ass if he drank-)
Sonny: Oh my boy is stressing. He’s pacing, biting his nails, loosening his tie because suddenly it’s a million degrees in that room- then he panics even more and the second someone asks if he’s okay, especially Rollins- the nausea hit him-
Casey: To be honest she’s probably just chilling in her office, and this is for simpler cases, I feel like she will just sit in her mess of an office (Seriously it looks like a mad scientist lives in there-) and mess with her soft ball things, that or going to bat with Elliot, that usually ends in her having to book it back to the court house quick enough to get the verdict-
(im waiting for my class to start)
munch- read about conspiracy theories online/ take buzzfeed quizzes and then scare himself thinking big brother is watching when the answer is accurate
fin- sing to himself in the car and treat it like an american idol audition (i bet he thinks ice t is really good🤔🤔)
elliot- squats (his ass is so round and .. i have to go.)
alex- review the case and actually do her job (she never stops working because she cant be alone with her thoughts)
casey- puzzle games on her phone until she gets too pissed off losing and just goes in early
cragen- he never leaves he actually lives there
do not ask me the color of anything.
now wait a damn minute why does that sound so ambiguous was she agreeing to (late victim) james on how happy she also is to be gay or…? i swear she was ready to come out of that closet at any given moment in s5
The gay panic was REAL WITH THIS ONE-🤭
her in this suit makes meeeeee scream
s8 ep21
And they happened to be married 🫦
meow meow is sad :(
Everyone back off, she’s my wife (on my knees for Casey with this song)
randomly stumbled across this song and its so ‘casey to alex’ coded
Upon acknowledging the existence of Casey Novak, I have experienced a demonstrable and progressive enhancement of my homosexual tendencies.
They’re girlfriends, YOUR HONOUR
