Nothing warms our hearts more than Olivia Benson and Elliot Stabler cozying up on “Law & Order: Organized Crime.”
Mariska Hargitay made fans feel all the feels when she posted a series of behind-the-scenes photos with co-star Christopher Meloni ahead of the spinoff’s series premiere.
“#SetLifeWithThisOne #SVU #OrganizedCrime #WhatsInTheLetter,” she captioned the pics.
In both of the photos, Meloni can be seen kneeling in front of her as she has her arms wrapped around him.
In the second photo, she looks at him endearingly.
For much of the show's 23-season run, fans have been dreaming, hoping, and praying that the characters will become more than friends/colleagues.

And it looks like they might be getting their wish soon enough.
The co-stars have been playing with fan’s emotions by sharing plenty of teasy photos in the weeks leading up to the fall premieres.
In September, Hargitay even confirmed that something more is brewing between her character and Meloni’s Stabler.
"It’s all underneath percolating," Hargitay told Today of Benson and Stabler taking their relationship to the next level. "Right now after Stabler being gone for 10 years and the way that he left and the complexity of what’s happened and how he came back surprising me, we’re still finding our way.”

She continued: "But it’s complex and real, and I think what I love about it most is that it’s earned. This relationship is truly earned. Not a lot of people have a 23-year relationship."
In real life, the duo, who are both married to other people, have been the best of friends since first working together on the first season of “SVU” in 1999.
"Law & Order" is gearing up for its 500th episode this season, which will see the return of Danny Pino as Detective Nick Amaro.
