ah, the all-consuming passion that is b/k, we all know toby's going to lose it post series...

i wonder, is it the dark perverseness that everyone's so crazy about when it comes to b/k...i was just never able to pay attention to them because i kept thinking about elliot stabler (who i found rather boring and never paid that much attention to because i watched svu for the individual plotlines) everytime i saw keller

Initially I saw Chris as Stabler too, but that stopped after a few episodes because they're two totally different characters. And as much as I like Elliot, the writers don't explore his character enough. He's too bland and two-dimensional, whereas Chris has that dark and complex personality that you can strip away layer by layer.

As for B/K, I could write a book on their relationship. I actually tried explaining them to my mother, and she didn't understand how something so jagged and painful could be actual love. The only thing I could tell her was "Just watch it." Because when you look beneath it all, it's not nearly as black and white as it seems. It's dark and twisted, but there is love there, and it might be a very small part, but it was real and it meant something.

And I'll stop there, because I don't want to bother anyone with my rambling.

It's okay, I don't mind. I want some b/k to be in the graphic novel that I'm writing, so I want to hear it from someone who actually looked into it x.x

Excellent drabble. That's how I like to think Toby would feel, post S666.

I see SVU because CM is there. I started to see it, like many OZ fans, because we no longer had Keller and I guess we tried to get, sometimes, a glimpse of him, behind the
buttoned-up, very traditional Stabler.
Unfortunately, the writing in SVU is very weak, nothing like OZ, and the characters have nothing of the depth of the ones created by TF.
