AN: Hey Everyone! Well, I'm back again with another fic. Though this one is special. This fic, this wasn't my idea. My partner SoNfan1978 came to me with an idea for this story and asked me if we could work on it together. There's no one I would rather write with, so I said yes. Well here's the first chapter. Now at the end of this chapter we really need reviews to see how y'all like it. So, Enjoy!


She sat down at her laptop and logged into her writing account. It had been a long day, but she wanted to take another look at the reviews that had been left today on her latest chapter. She wasn't sure exactly how she had ended up here, a Homicide Detective by day, and an Author by night. She had started with a blog, just to have a place where she could write short little drabbles about her life; or, at least, how she wanted her life to be anyway.

For years now, she Jane Rizzoli, had been in love with her best friend. What can you do when you find yourself in love no possible way to tell the person you love them? Why you take to writing about it on the internet, or as least she had.

The drabbles had started as nothing more than a way she could get out some of the frustrations she had for not being able to share the feelings she had. They were just little pieces she posted where the characters of Jamie, a K-9 cop who patrolled the streets of Boston with her partner Bosco and Maria, the best Vet in Boston and the one most trusted by the BPD, had come to life. In the bits Jane could make up moments, or play others out, the way she wished they had happened. Eventually the drabbles became a little longer. Then she had an idea for a full length story for Jamie and Maria and how they met and fell in love.

When it came to the point that she was posting the whole story on her blog a reader had suggested a site where people could publish their own stories for free. It seemed like the best place to keep her story going where other people could take a look and read it over and tell her what they thought of it. Before she knew it the stories of Jamie and Maria had taken on a life of their own and it seemed like a lot of people were reading her story.

Well, having people by the hundreds who read her story was a lot to her. Furthermore, she couldn't believe there were people out there who wanted to follow her stories so they would get an email when she posted the next chapter and not miss anything going on with the story. And the people who followed her as an author; it was strange that so many actually thought that her writing was worthy of that.

Jane logged into her account and clicked on the reviews. She started to scroll through the new ones that had been left since she checked last night. They all seemed to be the same, 'Great Chapter!', 'Love it.', 'Post More Soon!' She liked every review that readers posted for her, but with this chapter she had been wanting a little more. This one had been hard to write. Exes for both Jamie and Maria had shown up in the picture and the ladies had to figure out how to deal with that and the jealousy they felt towards the others ex.

Finally the last review she came to she found more of what she had been looking for. It was from me M.D. and read, "Nice chapter. I've been reading your stories since you started posting them, but I've never left a review before. I just wanted to tell you that I am thoroughly enjoying this follow up to your first story where Jamie and Maria fall in love. I know you said in your Author's Note that you weren't sure if this chapter worked well in the story or not. I wanted to tell you that I think it's quite relevant. Everyone comes into a new relationship with baggage and sometimes it shows up later on in the form of former partners. Trying not to be jealous of a former partner is a real struggle that occurs all the time. If Jamie and Maria were real people they seem like women who have good heads on their shoulders and though they may have an argument about something like this, they would be the kind to work it out and move on to the happier times that I'm sure would lie ahead for them. Though it is your story and not mine, so I guess I will just have to wait and see what fate holds for them in the story."

That was the kind of review she had been looking for. Something telling her that someone understood the struggle Jamie and Maria had faced in the chapter. That even though they were faced with something like this now, there was a way that they would work it out; they could come out the other side and be okay. The stories had started out reflecting her life and, as much as she wanted it to be sunshine and daises, life wasn't that way. That meant her story didn't have to be either. Jamie and Maria had to have rough times too, just like everyone else.

This was one review she was going to have to respond to. Well, actually, she always tried to respond to every review that readers left; even if it was just, 'Great Chapter!' Her readers had been kind enough to at least say something, so she could be good enough to say something back, even it if was just a thanks for continuing to read her stories. This review though, with this one she was going to need something good to say; something definitely more eloquent than 'thanks for the review.'

She needed some time to think about what she was going to say to me M.D., so she decided to respond first to the other reviews that had been left that day. It didn't take Jane long to get through the other reviews and reply to them. By the time she was done with those though, she still wasn't sure she had come up with anything good enough to respond back to me M.D.

When she had finished typing up what she deemed an appropriate response to her reviewer she logged out of her account and prepared to shut down her computer. Normally she would try to spend some time writing in the evening, but tonight she just wasn't feeling it. It had been cold that day and her hands were starting to talk to her. So, she just closed the lid on her laptop and decided to leave the writing for another night.


Well, thank you so much for reading! This chapter was a little bit shorter than what we have planned for the future. Also do to our busy schedule I'm not sure how often we'll get to you with updates, but y'all know me: I hate to keep you waiting in suspense. So, if you want to encourage us to work a little faster leaving a review down there in that little box, could certainly help our motivation!
