SVU Ship Swap Author Letter
Standard, general stuff I tack onto all letters: I'm good with any rating, from G on up to NC-17. Fluff and smut are my two favorite genres, so whatever floats your boat is good. I'm all for things getting a little kinky in bed, especially since there are threesomes in the pairing options below, but nothing too extreme please. Or involving bodily fluids that aren't supposed to be involved in sex. I'm not opposed to some angst, but unless a specific prompt goes there, I'm more of a "light angst" person than a "doom and gloom" person. I'm also not a fan of offing people unless canon's already done it.
Okay that being said, the season finale obviously needs to be reworked - or flat out ignored - for three of the four relationships. I'm fine if you still want to transfer Dodds out of SVU, just as long as he's still alive and well. If you go with Barba/Carisi, you can keep canon as it is if that's something you want to reference. Though there's no need to reference or mention it all if it's not relevant to your idea.
Mike Dodds/Rafael Barba
I like the idea of these two bonding over more or less being married to the job. (One of Dodd's first episodes comes to mind here.) Barba needs some information on a case and Dodds is the only one there because its ungodly late (or early). And then they start getting to know each other.
Dominick "Sonny" Carisi/Mike Dodds/Rafael Barba
For these three, I really like the idea of Barba & Carisi already being an established couple and Carisi getting all jealous/insecure when Dodds shows up and it eventually turning into a threesome.
Rafael Barba/Dominick "Sonny" Carisi Jr.
In season 16, Carisi was such an eager puppy trying to impress Barba and he was always all "yeah no" which made me ship it. Though with Barba letting Carisi shadow him, maybe he's starting to warm up to him. Maybe all that case prep leads to a little something more.
It would also be interesting to see something about Carisi remaining a cop instead of becoming an ADA from Barba's perspective.
Dominick "Sonny" Carisi Jr./Mike Dodds
I think some of the Carisi the eager puppy trying to impress would apply here as well. It would be interesting to see how they balance their work life with their home life whether you keep them both in SVU, or have Dodds transfer out. Or even have Carisi become an ADA if you want to throw an extra element of AU in there.
