I developed this hc on the SVU discord server that's too good not to share:

One day, a season or 2 into the future, the squad and their fam, plus the Stabler clan, Jet, Ayanna and her wife, are all over at Liv and Elliot's new house when Noah (in the midst of a nerf gun phase) starts an impromptu Nerf Gun Battle.

Carisi is weirdly a really good shot w a nerf gun. And Amanda, who's normally the best shot in the squad, is crap at it. At least at first.

Everyone splits off into teams. Team Bensler, Team Rollisi, Team Fin and Phoebe, Team Ayanna and her wife, Team Kat and her girlfriend, Team Girls (Jet, the Stabler girls, Jesse and Billie), and Team Boys (Dickie, Eli, Noah, and Maureen's husband).

Fin and Phoebe are the first to get knocked out. Fin's all like "I'm too old for this shit." Ayanna and her wife are next followed by Kat and her girlfriend.

Team Bensler and Team Rollisi agree to a temporary alliance to take out Team Girls and Team Boys since it's 4 against 10.

Amanda and Elliot are insanely competitive so they go full Rambo at take out Jet, Kathleen, Lizzie, Dickie, Maureen's husband, Eli, and Jesse in one go.

Billie attempts pull the daddy's girl card on Carisi, but he doesn't fall for it and takes her out.

Liv takes Noah out cuz she gets weirdly into it too. He's all like "Mom! I'm your sweet boy!" And she's like "Nope, sorry. Not today bud." and pulls the trigger taking him out.

It's down to 4 against 1. Maureen is the sole survivor of the kids. No one expected her to be so good. But she's still no match for a NYPD captain, a Marine, a Southerner, and a cop turned ADA.

Now that the kids are out, the alliance is over. It's Benson and Stabler vs Rollins and Carisi. The Battle of the Partners Turned Lovers.

Carisi gets taken out first by Liv. Elliot follows shortly after being ambushed by Amanda.

It's down to Liv vs. Amanda now.

Amanda thinks she's got the win in her pocket bc she knows shes the best shot in the squad. But her cockiness is what ruins her in the end. She forgets that there's a reason Olivia is a legend.

Liv sets up a trap and Amanda walks right into it. Using one of Noah's toys, she makes Amanda trip. Amanda's gun flies out of her hand. Liv steps out of the shadows, kicks the gun out of Amanda's reach. Lines the nerf gun up for the shot, execution style. Then says her iconic line "You're My Bitch Now!" and pulls the trigger.

(Elliot's in the background laughing his head off bc he was there when Liv said her iconic line)

Liv is crowned "Queen of Nerf Guns" while Elliot looks on proudly w a smirk that says "My girl's a Badass".

After that, the squad learns never to mess w Liv and Elliot when they're in Benson and Stabler mode. And also to never mess w Liv when she's holding a nerf gun.

If you take one thing away from AOC’s live stream tonight about the capitol insurrection, let it be that a good life-or-death situation has 4 essential members:

1. Someone who, faced with a dangerous situation, jumps headfirst into a manic survival mode and starts planning exit strategies and safety contingencies (AOC)

2. A loyal friend who is like “I’m sorry, I’m fully prepared to risk my life to protect you and there’s nothing you can do to change that.” (G, the staffer)

3. A friend who is so chill she literally will not ask why you’re barricading her doors and putting on a fake mustache but will just be like “oh you’re going through something, hm?” calmly sip her coffee, and make helpful recommendations about your disguise (Katie Porter)

4. A friend who will make sure you’re fed and validate your trauma while you crash off the adrenaline (Ayanna Pressley)

Bonus: A friend who is frantically working on a way to punish the people that traumatized you all, even while the trauma is still happening (Rashida Tlab)

Christmas Traditions Coming To Life

Summary: Second Chapter of my Christmas Bellson fic. This one takes place on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. (Did I meant to post this before Christmas? Yes. Did the big sad make that impossible? Yes. Am I going to post it anyways? Absolutely)

Warnings: Mentions of nightmares

Characters: Olivia Benson, Noah Benson, Ayanna Bell

Relationship: Olivia Benson x Ayanna Bell (Bellson!)

AO3

Previous Part~Next Part

-----------------

Ayanna had to work the morning of Christmas Eve but she made sure that she was off in time to partake in all of the traditions that Noah had told her about. When she entered their apartment Noah rushed in from the kitchen hands covered in flour.

“You came back just in time! We just started making cookies,” He told her as he reached for her hand.

“Do not try to grab her hand and pull her into this kitchen!” Olivia called out still hidden, “Let her change and get an apron on before you cover her in flour.”

Noah sighed, “How can she see through walls?”

Ayanna laughed giving him a kiss on the forehead, “Magical mom powers.”

Once Ayanna was changed into comfy clothes she walked back into the kitchen where Noah was using cookie cutters to make various Christmas shapes in the cookie dough. Olivia was pouring together ingredients for another recipe her hair pulled back into a high bun her glasses on the brim of her nose. When Bell entered the room Liv looked up immediately moving to give her a quick kiss.

“How was work my love?”

Ayanna reached to pull a purple apron around her stifling a small sigh, “Oh just the same as it always is.”

Olivia cocked her eyebrow but Bell merely shook her head. Liv leaned over to plant another kiss on her girlfriend’s cheek, “If you could help Noah with cutting the cookies I should have our next recipe ready by the time they go in the oven.”

“How many cookies are we making?”

“Three different kinds!” Noah exclaimed, “Sugar cookies, peanut butter balls, and thumbprints.”

“Hope you have lots of people to give cookies to,” Olivia laughed looking at all the batter around her, “I may have doubled the recipes by accident.”

Bell merely laughed and set to work helping Noah finish the sugar cookies. When everything was done and cooling in the kitchen Noah rushed to take a shower and Liv pulled Ayanna into the living room. They curled together on the couch Ayanna telling her all about the troubles she was having at work. Stabler had been in an awful mood for days now and it didn’t seem like it was going to be disappearing any time soon. She skirted around some of the things he had been doing hoping to not make Olivia feel like she was the cause of his distress. However, both of them knew deep down that Elliot’s rage was concentrated on a particular Captain.

Their conversation got cut short as Noah launched himself into Ayanna’s lap. This is when the rest of the Christmas Eve traditions came into play. First was Noah’s favorite Christmas Movie The Grinch followed shortly by Olivia’s favorite movie A White Christmas. Once the two movies were over Olivia made a quick dinner and they turned on the movie Ayanna loved Happiest Season. Once the food was gone and all movies watched Noah went and grabbed three boxes from below the Christmas tree. He handed one box to Ayanna and Olivia and then sat down on the couch looking expectantly at his mom.

Olivia smiled and then looked at Noah, “Should we have Ayanna open hers first since this is her first Christmas with us?”

Noah shook his head excitedly and all eyes turned towards Ayanna. She quickly turned her eyes down at the box trying to hide her embarrassment. She opened the box to reveal the contents a smile immediately coming to her face. The first thing that she saw was the book that she had been wanting to read for months. Below it was black plaid pants with a penguin shirt that read: Merry Christmas. Noah locked eyes with Ayanna as she looked up.

“Do you like it? Momma helped me pick out this year’s pjs!” He said excitedly.

“I love it,” Ayanna agreed, “Go ahead and open yours.” Noah ripped through his box excitedly and pulled out Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. He let out a large gasp, “I thought this book was too old for me.”

Olivia raised an eyebrow and looked over at Ayanna, “I thought you were too but Ayanna convinced me otherwise. So if you read this book and like it we can get you the second one.” Noah giggled excitedly running his hand over the front cover, “Thank you Momma. Thank you, Aya!”

Olivia was still nervous but seeing her son so excited made her more than a little happy. She was the final one to open her box with a set of penguin pajamas for her as well. She was used to already knowing what book was going to be in the box because she would package it herself. This year however Ayanna had taken it upon herself to wrap the box and buy the book Olivia wanted. She was not disappointed when she found the next book to a series that she had been obsessed with.

“Where did you get this? It’s not supposed to be published until next year!”

Ayanna smirked, “A magician never reveals her secrets.”

Olivia merely rolled her eyes and then looked over at Noah, “Go get changed, and then we will read.”

Noah rushed off to his bedroom as Olivia got off the couch extending her hand to Ayanna. They walked to their room hand in hand before gently closing the door behind them. Ayanna began to strip off her clothes pulling on the Christmas PJs. Right before she could pull her shirt on Olivia placed kisses all over her back.

“I love you,” Olivia whispered giving Bell one final kiss.

Ayanna turned to grab Liv in for a hug, “I love you Liv.”

As they stood there curled in each other’s embrace there was a knock on the door. They called Noah in and he immediately jumped on their bed book in hand. Both of the women let out a small laugh as he opened the front cover and then look expectantly at them. They each crawled into their respective side of the bed pulling out their books. For the next hour or so all that could be heard through the Benson household was the flipping of pages as all three occupants read their designated books. However, as the clock began to get closer to midnight Noah’s snores could be heard through the silent room.

“I should probably take him to bed,” Olivia sighed placing a bookmark on the page.

“Let him stay Liv,” Ayanna begged, “It is Christmas after all.”

Olivia raised her eyebrow and then placed her book on the bedside table, “Okay, but if he starts kicking I am telling him to kick you off the bed.” Ayanna laughed and placed a kiss on Noah’s forehead before leaning over to kiss Olivia. They flicked off their respective lights and buried themselves underneath the covers. Ayanna wrapped her arm around Noah taking Olivia’s hand in hers. It only lasted for a couple of moments before Olivia let out a large FUCK.

“We forgot to finish wrapping the presents.”

“Shit!” Ayanna said pulling back the covers, “I’ll grab the supplies you grab the gifts.”

—----------------------

Ayanna woke with a jolt sitting straight up in bed. She held her breath as Olivia shifted for a moment and then fell back to sleep. Noah was still snoring soundly his elephant clutched to his chest. She was not sure which of her constant nightmares had woken her this time but seeing them immediately calmed her down. She looked at her phone a picture of Olivia and Noah greeting her along with the time: 6am. It was her favorite picture of them, a selfie that Olivia had sent to Ayanna when she was feeling sad at work. It had been her phone background ever since.

Deciding that she wouldn’t be able to fall back asleep Ayanna slowly got out of the bed trying to do her best not to disturb the two sleeping figures. They had been up till two am wrapping the rest of the presents that had been too busy to get during the week. Bell could already tell this was going to be an extremely long day as she turned on the coffee pot. Once she had poured herself a cup she sat on the couch looking at the Christmas tree. It was decorated in dark red and green bulbs scattered with ornaments Noah had made for Liv over the years. There were even a couple for her that he had made in the last couple of months so that she would feel included.

The Bensons had done everything in their power to make sure Ayanna knew that she was loved and safe. She couldn’t imagine a better place to be. After she finished her first cup of coffee she busied herself in the kitchen making breakfast. It was about an hour later that Olivia woke to the smell of cinnamon rolls. She glanced over to see that Noah was the only one occupying the bed. He groaned pulling the covers tighter around him as Olivia left the bed. When she walked into the kitchen Ayanna was filling her second cup of coffee looking proudly at the plate of cinnamon buns she had made.

“Good morning love,” Olivia said startling Ayanna so bad that she let out a large yelp.

Once Ayanna calmed down she smiled at Liv, “Good morning. Did I wake you?”

“Not by noise… the smell was what woke me. How long have you been up?”

Ayanna shrugged her shoulders, “Like 6am.”

“Another nightmare?” Liv said wrapping Ayanna in a hug.

Ayanna merely nodded before they heard another person entering the room. Noah ran into their hug wrapping his hands tightly around Ayanna, “I smell breakfast.”

“Yes, Aya made us breakfast and then after we can open presents.”

“Then let’s get started!” Noah squealed, “I’ll set the table!”

The two women merely laughed as Noah set off to get everything ready for breakfast. Once breakfast was done and all the presents were unwrapped Liv was sitting contently on the couch watching Noah rip into all of his new toys. This was her favorite part of Christmas. When it was all done and she could relax as her son played his way through the day. However as she brought her coffee cup to her lips Ayanna let out a little cough.

“Noah, I think we forgot to give your mom one present.”

Noah gasped and rushed into his bedroom grabbing something. Olivia eyed them both suspiciously as they stood in front of her. Noah looked up Ayanna who nodded. He pulled out a large sign that read: Olivia Benson will you marry me? Standing next to him Ayanna pulled out a small black box that contained a silver diamond ring.

Olivia smiled as she looked between the two loves of her life. Tears began to roll down her face as she said Yes. Noah let out a large scream of delight throwing himself into Olivia’s arms. Ayanna slipped the ring on Olivia’s finger before she also grabbed her fiancée into a hug. The three of them stayed locked into a hug for a couple of moments before Noah rushed off to build one of the lego sets that Ayanna had bought her. Refusing to let Ayanna go Olivia merely grabbed the book from the night before and began to read it. The lack of sleep finally caught up to Ayanna and she quickly fell asleep with her head in Olivia’s lap. Olivia smiled as she watched Noah read over the instructions to put together the Harry Potter house and the snoring Ayanna in her lap. This was the life she always wanted.

From the January 1, 2022 story:

When Joe Biden first came into office, progressives said he could be the next FDR.

Now, as Biden’s relationship with the left has come under strain, liberals are talking about treating him like former President Jimmy Carter instead — and mapping out a Democratic primary challenge in 2024.

“Will there be a progressive challenger? Yes,” said Jeff Weaver, Sen. Bernie Sanders’ former presidential campaign manager.

...

Instead, liberals believe lesser-known candidates are more likely to primary Biden if he seeks a second term, such as former Sanders campaign co-chair Nina Turner, 2020 presidential candidate Marianne Williamson or millionaire and $18-an-hour minimum wage advocate Joe Sanberg.

“Yes, but someone like Nina Turner or Marianne Williamson. Doubt anyone currently elected," said one prominent progressive when asked if someone from the left would run against Biden.

...

Left-wing operatives and activists agree that if Biden declines to run for reelection, a more fulsome list of progressive candidates will consider a campaign, possibly including “Squad” members Ocasio-Cortez, Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.) and Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.). California Reps. Khanna and Katie Porter, Warren, former presidential candidate Julián Castro and Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.) also draw mention. If liberals fare well in next year’s midterms, that could also have an impact in shaping the 2024 field, particularly if the election goes as badly as expected for the party as a whole.

...

Some liberals even believe that elected officials who are currently not well-known or closely tied to the left, such as Rep. Joe Neguse (D-Colo.) and Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker, could make a play for the progressive lane in an open primary in 2024.

The Majority Report w/ Sam Sede Oct 24, 2019

Ayanna Pressley Tees Off On Mark Zuckerberg

In this Majority Report clip, Mark Zuckerberg is very bad at defending his new cryptocurrency Libra.

"House Democrats challenged Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg on a number of issues Wednesday at a hearing focused primarily on the company's efforts to develop cryptocurrency—putting the social media executive on the defensive regarding Facebook's position on the limits of free speech in political advertising, its labor practices, and critics' claims that the company supports housing discrimination.

Facebook spent more than $12 million in the first nine months of 2019 to lobby the federal government to win approval of Libra, its proposed cryptocurrency, and to fight growing calls that the company should be broken up. Zuckerberg was called to appear before the House Financial Services Committee to explain why lawmakers and the public should trust Facebook."

As I often say "My perfect scenario for pretty much any fandom is: everyone in the group has to live together for some reason and they all squabble about dishes and TV rights and sneak around into each other's bedrooms in the middle of the night."

This is that plus ~family dramaz~ and crime.

Because I am notoriously bad at completing chapter fics I waited until it was complete to start posting. I am super excited to finally be sharing it.

"Ayanna Pressley Tees Off On Mark Zuckerberg"

Ouch. This marks for me the moment when I finally accepted Zuckerberg is a bad person and not to be trusted.

I am really glad that Julian Castro, Deb Haaland, Ayanna Presley, and Katie Porter are endorsing Warren. She got principled ones with her.

A story in five parts

Ross Hooker said fuck you and your family - I don’t care if you die. Ross Hooker said screw your vaccine. Ross Hooker said if you’re not white you’re an enemy of this country. Ross Hooker drowned to death in his own lungs. Bye Ross!

[ID: Two Facebook posts by Ross Hooker: Jul 30: “If your shot works, why do I need one? If your shot doesn’t work, why do I need one?” Jul 30: “Not wearing a mask puts my family and I at risk.” “Your obedience to a corrupt government run by psychopaths and a corrupt media that covers for them puts me and my family at risk.” Aug 8: Photo of Ilhan Omar, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rashida Tlaib and Ayanna Pressley. “I do not see 4 women of color. I see 4 socialistic, communistic anti Americans.” FB post by Cheryl Kimble, Aug 23: “Prayer warriors, please pray for my sister in laws (sister of my heart) father, Ross Hooker. He is battling Covid 19 and he/we need all the prayers we can get! ❤” FB post by Raul Porter, Sept 9: “We lost a SEAHAWK today, class of ‘64 R. I. P. Ross Hooker”]

It’s been a few days and I’m sitting at work late still thinking about your Liv and Dodds long term secret affair post and it is canon to me now. But also thinking about the potential that backstory adds to their last scene together where he tells her “don’t worry about me, I’ll be back”

Bring him back then!! Give me Dodds showing up as the new Deputy Chief for OC after clawing his way out of his Staten Island traffic purgatory. Give me Liv at the OC office to say hi to El (newly back from undercover) or meet with Ayanna and Dodds stopping by and them running into each other

And the last time they saw each other was the last time they slept together: after her captain promotion ceremony (he stood in the back and came over that night to bring her flowers) and they shake hands like professionals but there’s something in the way they’re looking at each other that makes Ayanna smirk and Elliot glare

“I told you I’d be back, Captain” and she can’t help how much she’s smiling at hearing that from him. “We miss you over at SVU, Chief.” “Bet you never thought you’d be saying that back when we met.” And they catch up on squad news, standing close, radiating their Amicably Divorced Co-Parent Energy through the room

And Elliot’s always been jealous of the men Liv sleeps with but consistently throughout the show he’s been even more jealous of the men that she’s worked with, especially if she’s worked with them well and they have a rapport (see Porter, Ash, etc). And here’s Dodds: a man Liv has both slept with and worked well with and Elliot can tell, he can always tell, so he hates him at first sight but this is his boss’s new boss and he’s been working on that whole self control thing since he’s been back so there’s nothing he can do but grimace as if the two of them are stabbing him in the eyeballs (they kind of are)

Liv does have to get back to work though, and Dodds offers to walk her out since he only came by OC to introduce himself. And maybe he lets his hand linger against the small of her back as they head to the door, he’s not her boss anymore so it’s not technically inappropriate. And maybe she lets him because she’s pleasantly surprised by how nice it is to see him again like this. And maybe Elliot wants to eat his desk while Ayanna (who is beyond sick of this hetero drama) just pats him on the shoulder and tells him to get back to work and save being a jealous boyfriend for his own time

“I’m not her boyfriend” Elliot grumbles, almost petulantly, because they haven’t exactly had time to discuss what him being home for good now means for them, what they want it to mean (but wait maybe they already kissed once when he got pulled out but they haven’t talked about it because this is EO, so Elliot’s irritation is compounded by that). “Well it seems like someone else might be interested in the position, so if you really want it then maybe you should work on that”

THIS!!! IS!!! EVERYTHING!!! OH!!! MY!!! GOD!!!!

Amicable exes Dodds and Liv. Her relief at having someone she cares for back in her life. Elliot eating his own liver. Every. Single. Word. Of. This.

Bestie you did that

I need this I'm gonna revisit this ask like it's a fucking fic EYE-

(I'm literally watching s18 right now and he is in her apartment and I am feeling all the things)

I want Elliot to see it so bad. To see that Liv's life is full of people he doesn't know. To see that she's not just waiting around for him, that if he doesn't make a move he will lose her, to someone brave enough to reach for her. And he can't stand the thought that maybe it's too late, that maybe he waited too long.

This is so messy and delicious I love it
