Author's Note: Okay, so this is something I'm doing on Tumblr, mostly, but I figured I might as well publish on FF too. So there's a blog (it's rizzoliandislesheadcanon with all the tumblr after it, it's fantastic and I love it) and the person takes submitted 'head canons,' or ideas the viewers have about the show and its characters, and slaps them on a picture and makes fangirls like me be happy. However, I want to take these little ideas, usually a sentence or two at most, and turn them all into their own minific.

Some will be longer than others, but they will all be in order. I will try to update it once a day, if possible. :3 And also there are over two hundred so far, so I have a lot of catching up to do, and there will be a loooooooot of these D: ANYWAY THANK YOU. Here's the first one! I will include the headcanon quote in case you don't go and see the image itself.

Jane is genderqueer. Maura knows and is totally okay with it.

"I hate it when she says things like that!"

Jane seethed as she stormed into the autopsy room where Maura was currently working, her voice laced with irritation and frustration. The examiner looked up from the body she was about to cut into, bone saw in hand.

"When who says what?" she questioned, turning off the saw and setting it on the table next to the John Doe before offering her full attention.

"Ma! She just never stops with it!" the detective exclaimed, pacing back and forth on the opposite side of the corpse. Maura frowned, and removed her clean gloves.

"What happened this time?"

Jane stopped her pacing, and scowled. "She's back on her tryin' to get me to act like a 'real lady' train again. And I'm not gonna deal with it anymore! I'm sick of it!" She jabbed and waved her hands in a typical Italian manner, exasperated and angry. Stepping around the table, Maura watched her best friend cautiously, unsure how to handle the anger she was presented with. "I can't be what she wants me to be, Maur. I just can't. I'm not... I don't... I can't..."

"Did you know that in the United States alone,—"

"I don't need to hear any random statistics that no one else on the God-damned planet knows, Maura." Jane snapped, missing the wince of hurt that flashed across the examiner's face.

"Well, then let me tell you one not everybody knows," she amended after a moment. Taking a few steps closer to grab her hands, the ME looked up into the face of her friend. Dilated pupils, flushed cheeks, increased breathing speed... Even if her tone of voice wasn't an indication of her emotions, her body's reactions were. "And that is that how you associate yourself on the gender scale doesn't really matter. Jane," she smiled, squeezing the hands in hers reassuringly, "regardless of what you think of yourself, you are still the most beautiful person I know. Inside and out."

The darker-haired woman furrowed her brow, and opened her mouth to speak before being cut off.

"Janie," she continued softly, "It doesn't matter. You are you, and you are the one she loves. The one I love."

A silent minute stretched out between the pair. Breaking their held hands, Jane closed the space between them and hugged her tightly.

"Thank you, Maur," she whispered into the honey-coloured hair. Maura just smiled.

Addition: Also, these will be posted on my tumblr for it, rizzoliandislesminifics.
