Oz/Law & Order: SVU crossover

Tobias Beecher's trying to rebuild his family in the shadow of the man he was in prison. Elliot Stabler's struggling to continue in the wake of divorce while his job eats away at his soul. It makes for an odd friendship, but it works.

( Someone Like You, chapter 57: Family portraits )

No surprise here. Poor Toby. He has a lot to answer for but being happy with his bf is not one of them. Might I suggest an unfortunate accident for Jonah, perhaps a slip down the stairs or in the bath? Can't wait to see what will happen when E's children arrive. It could only get better. Or at least Harry will have a sulking companion in Dickie.

Thanks helvetica!

No, sorry to say, Jonah has spent his life on rolling ships, and is quite spry.

This should be comparatively easy for Toby, because this time around he knows - intellectually at least - that he's in the right.

And hey, if Harry and Dickie sulk together, at least that's a kind of bonding, right? Bonding against a common enemy is very effective.

I really liked the last sentence, with Toby finding dry irony in a total fiasco, it was totally in character and I loved that side of him in Oz, it gave him his best lines on the show.

Also loved the bit about Elliott not having too much illusions about to what extent he's Holly's new best friend. I love the trope in fics about Holly and Toby being extremely alike, and here it's really cool that they're not just alike for the good things (wits, bravery, etc...) but to see that Holly shares Toby's less glorious traits. She'd obviously really good at using people and looking totally angelic and blameless about it :D

But waw, so strange to see only 4 chapters to go! And I'm getting anxious about so little time left for Toby to get fucked up the ass... ;)

LOL..I think he will. In the fun way I hope, not metaphorically.

Metaphorically, he seems to be doing fine with that without Elliot's help. I sure hope El comes to the rescue anyway, though :)

Thanks iskra!

Dry irony is Toby's superpower. The line to Said about his quality laundry detergent is one of the best lines in the history of TV. Pure awful genius.

Oh yeah! The bad traits are the most fun. And Elliot has gotten to know Toby, and he has a career of seeing through kids, so he ought to be able to ride with Holly's manipulations.

Though really, kids cosying up to people to make other kids feel excluded is timeless.

Yeah, so little time for Toby to get fucked. I don't know if Elliot can squeeze it in.
