One great thing about Chicago PD and Law & Order: SVU crossover fanfiction is the unique character interactions. Writers can bring together the tough cops from Chicago PD and the specialized detectives from SVU. For example, they might create a scenario where a case starts in Chicago but has ties to New York, leading to a joint investigation. This allows for some really interesting dynamics as the characters from different shows with different methods have to work together.
Another plot could involve a human trafficking ring that operates between the two cities. SVU has some experience with these types of cases in New York, but the Chicago PD has its own intel on the local side of things. The two teams have to combine their resources and knowledge to take down the entire ring. This would involve a lot of undercover work and tense moments as they try to rescue the victims and arrest the criminals.
Maybe there's a serial killer on the loose who targets victims in both Chicago and New York. The Chicago PD starts noticing a pattern of killings in their city, and SVU has been dealing with similar cases in New York. They come together to compare notes. The killer seems to be targeting young women who are involved in marginalized communities, whether it's through drugs in Chicago or prostitution in New York. The combined forces of both teams are needed to stop the killer before more lives are lost.
Benson herself is a great character to feature. Her experience and empathy in dealing with victims of sexual crimes would be valuable in a crossover. When she meets with the Chicago PD, she might be the one to push for a more victim - centered approach. And the way she interacts with the male - dominated Chicago PD could also be an interesting aspect, as she stands her ground and shows them how SVU operates in a different but effective way.
A crossover could involve a character from Chicago Fire having a personal connection to a case the Chicago PD is working on. Maybe a firefighter's family member is wrongly accused of a crime. The firefighter then teams up with the PD detectives to clear their family member's name. This would bring in elements of loyalty, family, and the different skills of both groups. They could share information and resources to solve the mystery.
Another theme is the exploration of new relationships. Characters from different shows meet and form friendships or rivalries. It can be really interesting to see how personalities mesh or clash. Also, there's often the theme of a greater conspiracy that spans across the shows' universes, which forces the characters to work together to solve it.
The 'Law and Order SVU' series is known for its connection to real - life scenarios, and the 'Serendipity' episode is based on a true story. This is part of what makes the show so appealing. It can shine a light on real - world issues related to sexual crimes and the criminal justice system. By basing episodes on true stories, it can also raise awareness about certain situations that might not be as well - known to the general public. For example, it could be about a particular type of crime pattern or how the legal system responds to certain cases. And 'Serendipity' fits into this pattern of being based on a true story.
Another idea is to do a crossover within the 'Law and Order' franchise itself. For example, have characters from the original 'Law and Order' work with the SVU team on a high - profile case that involves both criminal acts and special victims. This could lead to some interesting clashes in investigative styles and legal strategies.
