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.
Beecher/Stabler, Beecher/anonymous fucks, a living history of Beecher/Keller and Elliot Stabler/Kathy Stabler.
If you like long, meandering stories about guys dealing with the fallout of canonical angst while gradually falling into a relationship that perhaps challenges their earlier notions of stable heterosexuality, occasionally fucking it up, coming out to friends and family, and generally learning to get through the stresses of everyday life together, then, this is that. Basically, this is an attempt to believably turn Elliot gay. And willing to bring home an ex-con with Toby's baggage. It took a lot of words.
An un-warning: this is NOT a WIP. It's done. It's got an ending, got all the middle, got no gaps. I'm posting in parts 1. because it's really freakin' long, 2. so I can continue to polish as I go, 3. because I do like to tweak according to feedback. But it is complete, and unless I get hit by a bus, it will be posted every week to the end. Every week.
Rated R. Story contains some violence and references to sexual violence. I'll be very specific about sexual violence: no sexual violence will happen to any of the major characters, and no sexual violence happens 'onscreen'. However, Toby was raped in canon, and Elliot's canonical job is dealing with sexual violence, and these both play a role in the story, sometimes with details. Also, there's some rough consensual sex. If you're okay with either Oz or SVU, you should be fine.
Post-Oz. Splits off in season 7 of SVU: Elliot's divorce is in the works, Olivia's his partner, he's cleaned up Katheen's DUI.
The delicious, beautiful artwork that will be scattered through the story - including the story icon and banner - is by the incredibly talented and awesome Barbana.
Story wordcount: 230 000 ish. (Like... over 50 chapters. No, seriously.)

Dr Squidlove inappropriately touches all feedback. Concrit thoroughly welcome, warm fuzzies treasured. Oh lordy, let there still be people reading in these fandoms.
Oz is the property of Tom Fontana and HBO. Law & Order: SVU is the property of Dick Wolf and NBC. The characters are used without permission, but with much appreciation.
