:D:D:D

I like when Liv is in trouble. I think this the hardest ship for us to justify, and I like what you did here.

Thanks, bebe.

Yeah, I like to play with pairings that should never work and figure out a way to give them some kind of common ground. But speaking from a canon point of view, I don't see it, but it's still fun.

I also don't see Liz dating someone like a detective. Not on the same level as she is, class wise. It would be a tough sell.

Kate and I actually talked about Liz/Cragen. I almost threw her that as the prompt from her meme, but I thought that would be cruel. The age would work, and maybe their maturity would keep them going, but beyond that... nah. Liz/Liv was mean enough.

And yea, everytime we have set something up with that pairing (Liz.Liv), they just clash too badly with each other. Liv is too strong a character and too martyr-y for Liz to deal with and there is no way Liv would follow her rules for more than a one off.

That was exactly what I found so difficult about the challenge. Throwing the canon I have set for Liz out the window.

And yeah - I can't see her putting up with Olivia for too long either.

Thanks :D
