Let me just say how much I needed this story! You did a wonderful job right the pace and the turn of emotions to get them where they needed to be. This was a really believable plot, I could see this being a 4-5 episode standalone with Elliot’s return. Thank you for this.

This is so beautifully written, thanks for sharing...

This is such a great story!

This is a first:
"What we had … it just wasn't something we could continue outside of the job."
You are so right! This is the best explanation for Elliots disappearance I've ever read

“We were two people who loved each other and didn’t know what the hell to do with that.”

Fave line in this fic, and perfect synopsis of those 12 years of SVU... xoxo, Jessica

I really enjoyed reading this one, thank you!

A really good start! Curious about the rest :)

First of all, intimate scenes are incredibly difficult to write and only get better with practice. I say that, because you've let it out. Maybe because you were uncomfortable in writing it, or maybe it's just not your thing to do so. Either way, just wanted to let you know it's okay that it's missing. Also, didn't mind the jump from 3rd to 1st person, felt like a journal entry at the end but it wrapped sweetly. Lastly, for this to have been your first jump into EO land, it was a decent fic. The two of them stayed in character, it was a good case file and there were no over-the-top, too soon, declarations of love 10 seconds after they reunited, lol. All things I greatly appreciated. Good job.

Good case file, believable perp and I like that they're working on Elliot sticking around.

Glad they're still talking, even if it's not about the kiss it's about more important things. Big surprise about who the car belongs to.

Something is definitely rotten in the city of Denmark as they say. The wife probably paid someone to rape Jessica, hoping she would be so distraught she'd quit and/or move away.

Well, damn. I wanted a conversation about their feelings and damned if I didn't get one. They went there, really went there with each other. If only...

Glad El and Liv finally had some kind of convo abt their feelings. The parallels between Jessica and Olivia are painful. I wish Liv had had someone to tell her the same thing. And...I hope the team stops running into dead ends.

She took his profession of love rather easily. I'm looking forward to them actually discussing it tho.

Well, well, well...she just couldn't resist.
