tfw you can't find the thing you want to read but it probably exists

There was an old SVU I watched the other day where a woman had a brain tumor and it made her unable to suppress her impulses. I wasn't fully paying attention because I was playing Animal Crossing and had already figured out the twist was coming, but I looked up at one point and she was kissing and possibly groping Elliot, who shoved her. Anyway, IAB showed up to talk about this use of force, and Olivia got up in Tucker's face and told him it was justified because Elliot had been sexually assaulted.

I'm sure it'll come as a shock when I say canon did nothing with that.

But now I have a mighty need for fic that does actually explore that. Not necessarily this instance in particular, but.

I assume someone at some point in this fandom's 23-year existence has written the fic -- someone wrote one for Third Watch -- but it definitely didn't make it onto AO3. It might be buried in the 17,000 fics on FFN, but I'm not going to click through like 700 pages to find out. (We won't talk about the SVU archive that lost all of its fic or LJ or how there were probably Geocities pages, too.)

I don't have a particular point other than sometimes an unsearchable pile of fic spanning almost a quarter of a century is just as bad as virtually no fic. Dreamwidth: Comment | Read Comments
