ultimate happy place fix-it law & order au:
the prosecutors win the case in Pride. mike never punches that councilman. mike & lennie are glorious and legendary partners for 15 years (until lennie’s well earned retirement). mike spends most of that time in an on again, off again relationship with a lifestyle newspaper columnist. van buren and lennie NEVER LET THIS GO and tease him relentlessly. profaci (WHO DOES NOT BECOME CORRUPT IN MY AU BECAUSE MY AU IS A COMFORTING, WARM PLACE) affixes every column that he thinks is about mike to the bulletin board. lennie lives up to 104, HAPPILY. (claire keeps in touch/sends him cards.)
claire leaves the da’s office after 5 years of public service to work in law firm specialized in women’s rights and civil liberties. every couple of months she and jack have a phone conversation that always starts with how’s things coming along with the new assistant?/how’s things coming along with the new boss?/my boss’s a woman!/great! spare me no detail. they actually marry at some point and our only clues about it are throw away lines like “my wife some times forces me to jog in central park with her.”
THE END
* i'd forgotten until today that mike logan's dad was ALSO a cop. nothing can convince me jack mccoy wasn't intentionally created as the prosecutor version of mike. idk if the writers/producers already knew chris noth was leaving and they needed another charmer/big personality character to fill in for logan, but yeah, they were both cut from the same cloth, all right.
* jack gave her more room, but claire herself leaned so much more toward a ben stone than a mccoy as a prosecutor that i always wonder if maybe she’d have gone through considerably less career angst if she’d been 2nd chair for stone for a bit longer than just her rookie year.
jack’s boy scouts x effective prosecutors false dichotomy took a bit of a toll on her.
* i love claire so much :( the entire l&o class of '94 was gr8.
god. i'm so angry.
