Series: The Fifth Floor
Chapter 7: Sunrise and Sunset
Author: vegawriters
Fandom: Conviction/Law and Order: SVU
Pairing: Alex/Robert; discussion of Alex/Ali (OFC) and Alex/Olivia
Timeframe: Late season seven SVU/Conviction series
A/N: I proudly own Conviction. As bad as it is, I proudly own it and I watch it. Why? Because I don’t think that Alex’s portrayal was out of character. How would you react if you’d just left witness protection and were dumped into a politically sensitive place in a politically sensitive bureau? So, in this series, we actually take a look at why Alex was the cold, calculating, manipulative bitch that she was portrayed to be. This series is also a continuation of Walking on Slick Rock and it really does help to read that first.
Disclaimer: Conviction and L&O: SVU both belong to Dick Wolf and co. I’m just playing around with the characters until Wolf Films gives me a paying gig.
This one is dedicated to
medland’s grandmother.
Summary: “To me, you are Alexandra Cabot. Lawyer and teacher extraordinaire. You’re an artist in your own right – your eye with the camera is better than most professional photographers. You care more about victims of crime than anyone I’ve ever seen. You love the people you come into contact with and you loathe that the law is not yours to bend. You believe in justice for everyone – except yourself. And as a result, the people around you are often left wondering if they matter to you as much as that ratty copy of the Constitution you carry."

Summary: They crashed into each other, lips and hands sliding under clothes, searching for places never forgotten. They didn’t have time for this. It wouldn’t be long before someone came looking for one of them. But they needed this, to at least connect. To bond. To touch again.

I’m going into deep cover for a while and I don’t know when I’ll be back. But oh my god. Just be safe, Alex. Please. Be safe.”

medland for sending me the book.
Summary: Disappearing into the bedroom, Alex slid the book back into her nightstand and searched through her closet for a dress for dinner. Grabbing an ice blue, tank top style one off the hanger, she quickly changed, transforming herself back into Alexandra Cabot, socialite extraordinaire. A white sweater and a pair of blue low heeled shoes topped off her look and with a brush through her hair and a different set of earrings, she was ready. She emerged from the bedroom and Robert held out her coat. “Let’s go,” she said with a comfortable smile.

Summary: Her misplaced sense of logic justified her accepting another date as the harsh reality of her world – she couldn’t make the changes she wanted to make if she didn’t have the power to do it. But her heart reminded her that the changes she wanted to make meant more than time in the governor’s mansion. It reminded her that logic didn’t always rule the world. But Alex still flinched when cars backfired and when black SUVs drove past. She still searched through courtrooms, looking for Liam Connors and still glanced behind her when she entered buildings, waiting to see another one of Velez’s henchmen coming after her. Logic was the only thing that kept her sane right now.
