Author has written 9 stories for Law and Order: SVU, Law and Order, and Law and Order: CI.

Hello and welcome!

My fanfiction is an important part of my life, and I love to share it. Please note, however, that most of what I write is dark and emotional. Since I primarily write SVU, I assume that most of my readers are on board with this (I try not to make it any darker than the show gets), but if this isn't your cup of tea, consider yourself warned.

I don't update on any sort of schedule, but I make a personal promise to all my readers that, barring incredibly extenuating circumstances, I will never leave a story unfinished.

Below is a list of my stories in chronological order. They are all part of the same series, but, as indicated in the notes, some stories are closely linked to each other while others are more loosely connected. All of my stories contain notes indicating the timeline and what stories, if any, they follow on from, but since publication order is rarely the same as series chronological order, I find guides like this useful and I thought you might too.

Chronology of My Series:

Friends To Believe In (immediately post L&O 5x20 "Bad Faith", Mike and Lennie friendship short story)
Pulling Back The Cover (immediately post SVU 9x15 "Undercover", Elliot and Olivia friendship, short story)
Close to Home (approx. 1 year post SVU 12x24 "Smoked", Elliot and Olivia friendship, novel)
A New Reality (approx. 2 years post CI series finale, Nichols-centric, novel)
Within Me, Without You (Close To Home sequel, 1 year later mid-SVU Season 15, Elliot/Olivia, short story)
Unreasonable Doubt (Within Me, Without You sequel, 9 months later, Rollins-centric, novel)
Little Girl Lost (A New Reality sequel, 6 months later, partial timeline overlap with Eyes Wide Open, CI/SVU Crossover, novel)
Eyes Wide Open (Unreasonable Doubt Sequel, 3 months later, CI/SVU crossover, novel)
WIP -- Thought Police (6 months post-Little Girl Lost, 5 months post-Eyes Wide Open, sequel to both, CI/Numb3rs/Mentalist crossover, novel)

Happy reading!

Little Girl Lost reviews
Last year, Zach Nichols couldn't imagine having a child. Now he can't imagine not having one.

After more than two decades, a disappeared serial killer reemerges, and the SVU detectives must look outside their own team to find the one man whose knowledge may be key to stopping him.

They say that man plans, and God laughs. A case calls into question one of the few things Zach Nichols had always taken for granted. And maybe, just maybe, that's not altogether a bad thing. (No pairings, just friendship across the board.)
