Law & Order: Special Victims Unit - 22x16

Sonny’s imitation of his father spills out of him without much thought, and then it’s like it usually is, like he and Amanda are the only ones in the room. It’s not long before they’re both chuckling as he recalls how terrible his parents are at working the camera angles during the always-chaotic biweekly Carisi family Zoom calls.

“It’s a nose and mouth,” Sonny says, bemused, his hands motioning emphatically. He shakes his head. “There’s no eyes. It’s just nose and down.”

Amanda’s laughter is warm and infectious, like when you find a patch of sun outside on a chilly day and instantly that’s the only place you want to be - it always draws him in.

For the first time since before she got the initial call about Jim, since before Atlanta and hospital waiting rooms and the distance that’s crept up between the two of them, Sonny sees Amanda’s shoulders relax and her smile reach her weary eyes. Selfishly, he’s glad he gets to be the reason - glad he gets to be her respite, her relief, her comfort.

It’s never been clearer to him and he’s tired of pretending otherwise: all he wants is this, her, them. He wants them doing life together, when it’s good and easy, and when it’s not; long enough that they become the next old, married Carisis everyone speaks fondly about, especially when they’re making fools out of themselves without a care in the world.

That was the scene! Usually it's Sonny trying to calm Amanda down and now we have two instances of Amanda being the supportive one saying DOmiNiCk. It just seems to be a slightly elevated level of intimacy. Not necessarily in a sexual way but in the we're-becoming-closer-as-human-beings way. Couple that with the teaser of two characters supposedly getting "closer" by New Years and there's good cause for speculation that there's some Rollisi on the horizon.

That being said, there's some serious issues to be worked out *cough* Amanda and her past choices in men *cough cough* and I would really like to see it on screen before they would ever officially get together.

But still, tonight's little tidbit is certainly more promising than not!

New Rollisi fluff/smut fic

It never could have been just sex between them, but when Rollins and Carisi sleep together for the first time, he struggles with the ethical dilemma of her not wanting to disclose it to the DA’s office. The next time, he’s determined to convince her that he’s worth it.
