Sequel to Chance Encounter set eleven years later as Jane and Lisbon meet again under complicated circumstances. What has happened to each of them in the intervening years? Can they help each other confront and solve the problems in their lives now? Can they find love with each other again? Rated T but may have some M rated scenes. Multichapter. Reviews are much appreciated.

When had her smile become important to him? When had her opinion of him become something that mattered?

AU: Done with Austin and free of the FBI, Jane and Lisbon chart their future in what remains a murky, dangerous world. Set realistically circa 2016-17 US, it immediately follows events in The Long Way Back. It stands alone, but is best after reading its precursor. / Any M sections are ID'd in the chapter. / I do not own The Mentalist and reap no economic benefits from this story.

Patrick Jane is a resilient man, but now he realizes there might be something he can't cope with: his teenage daughter dating. Is her boyfriend up to something, or is he just imagining things? Sequel to Second Hand, which was a sequel to In the Cards, but don't worry if you haven't read those.

"Firsts" tend to be the milestones that are sought after and focused on (the first date, the first kiss, the first declaration of love) but in some cases, the second time around can mean just as much, or more. (Jane/Lisbon; a series of canon-compliant one-shots focusing on their developing relationship in season 7.)

Lisbon could barely believe she was still alive, let alone that Jane had kissed her—several times, actually—and that she'd agreed to come over to his hotel room for a bath. Especially that she'd agreed to come over to his hotel room for a bath. Sequel to "The Tiger and the Lamb."

AU: Jane returns 2 years after killing Red John. He and Lisbon resume their relationship. Their world remains murky, tense, complicated, and dangerous. Different Fischer and Abbott. Jane and Lisbon are together, but the main focus is external events. Any M sections will be ID'd in the chapter. / I do not own The Mentalist and reap no economic benefits from this story.

A collection of one shots dipping in and out of the life of Mr and Mrs Jane ( Patrick and Teresa). There will be mixture of genres. *Latest chapter* Appreciation to the guest reviewer who pointed out my mistake on the latest chapter, I have corrected it.

Some things are better said in writing. Post White Orchids. Chapter 7: The Happiest Place on Earth added. Fluff warning!

Collaboration with waterbaby134. Jane is a fake psychic who occasionally consults for the CBI, but a case goes wrong and Jane awakens to find he really CAN read minds, particularly that of a certain beautiful CBI agent. Will his new "gift" help him become worthy of Lisbon's love? Inspired by the movie "What Women Want." AU/Romance/Humor/Fantasy. Rated T/M for language/adult content

A multi-chapter tag to Red John. How does Patrick get to his island - and what is going through his mind after killing Red John? My take on the time in between Red John and Blue Bird.

Jane versus Bosco. This started out as a tag to 2x1, Redemption, but spans the entire Bosco arc.

Sometimes gambling yields good results. Just a little piece of plot free fluff, because I can't seem to quit this show. Set a couple of months after Jane and Lisbon's wedding.

Teresa was furious. Jane had screwed up again and she told him she wanted him to go away. But she didn't mean forever! Now Jane is in trouble and she has to find him and save him.

"He loved seeing her be pregnant. From the moment she had told him, she had glowed, but even before that, he had to admit that there was already that specific glow to her." Jisbon, almost full fluff, family fic. I was craving to write some Pregnant Lisbon and have some fluffy Jisbon baby scenes, so this is the result. One-shot. Rated K.

This will be a series of stand-alone stories of Patrick meeting up with various people from his life before marrying Teresa. I started this as individual stories, but to make it easier for my readers, decided to compile all the stories under one. There will be a variety of genres and characters.

"He had run out of ways to keep himself occupied. He had learned how to speak French, Spanish and Italian, had started a dog walking service and stopped after only a week, had gone hiking through the state, had even wondered if he would be a competent president, but nothing kept him occupied long enough." One-shot. Faint Jisbon, sequel to Still Falling for You. Rated K plus.

A tough four days. Main focus is Jane's POV, but alternate chapters will be from Lisbon's POV. / I do not own The Mentalist and reap no economic benefits from this story.

AU where Jane and Lisbon have yet to meet. She works for the CBI, he runs a diner. A brief crossing of paths on Christmas Eve leads to love as his mother attempts to act as matchmaker. Mostly lighthearted but there is some angst later on, but some humour too. Rated T, some M later on for sexual scenes. Reviews, as ever, are much appreciated. Now complete!

NOW COMPLETE! Journey back in time to "The Crimson Hat," 4x24. Now forget what happened in that episode, because this is revisionist history. Imagine Lisbon is in on Jane's plot to trick Red John and Lorelei in Las Vegas. How might that have changed their paths, both to true love and to Red John? Romance/Drama/Humor/Jisbon. Rated T/M for language and adult situations.

A chronological look at Patrick Jane's ingrained tendency to run away. The third and final chapter is up, and I've included an Epilogue. Expect drama, angst, and a bit of humor. I hope you enjoy it.

"'If you promise me you'll be ready,' she says, 'I'll wait. As long as it takes. But if this isn't something you want, or if you don't think you can move on, I need to know. I'll understand.' She sees his mouth form his response, and she has to look away as he answers. 'No,' he says. 'I don't want you to wait for me.'" Post Violets.

Jane's enjoying his life away from the FBI, making a home for his wife and child, but then a case gets personel. Last chapter posted

Tag to Bloodshot, 1x16. How did Lisbon and Jane get from Van Pelt's wrecked car to the couch scene the next morning? In my mind, the path ran through a hospital, a diner, and several literary allusions.

After a year apart Jane and Lisbon meet again. Can they rebuild their relationship and work together to fight a common enemy? Can they ever trust each other again? Love each other again? CBI based that breaches into AU. Rated T/M for some sexy scenes. Reviews, as ever, are much appreciated. Finally complete!

A series of stand alone one shots examining the complex and fascinating Jane/Lisbon relationship as set forth on the show. I attempted to keep them in canon during the show, then tried to keep post show installments in time as our couple continued their life together. This chapter, Private Eyes, is the final one, completing the series. Hope you've enjoyed this journey.

Tag to Scarlett Fever, 1x15. Jane believes in the therapeutic value of make believe, but sometimes he needs something real.

Tag to Seeing Red, 1x7. Lisbon meditates on one of her favorite things about Jane.

Episodes condensed to seventeen syllables. Hope you enjoy them. (an experiment in haiku) The final installment is up, Season 7.

"Brushing aside his fears as though he's made some kind of unforgiveable sin in trying to save me is not the way to handle this. Because I understand now. Jane is not only trying to save me. He's trying to save himself. I'd been so sure I was right, that I deserved to win this argument. But as it turns out, neither of us did." A variation on Copper Bullet.

Tag to Red Mile. After Steiner's death, what does Jane do next? Call Lisbon, of course.

After Blood for Blood (3x14), Jane and Lisbon talk about influence, justice, and cherry pie.

"'When the bridge was first built, it marked the outskirts of the city. That meant lovers often said goodbye here. Legend has it,' he says, 'that couples who kiss here are guaranteed a happy ending. Though lovers part on this bridge, they reunite here as well.'" Sixth in the "In Case" series.

It begun to rain. As if the evening hadn't been bad enough already. A short "New Year's Eve" themed one-shot. Takes place after 6x15 (White as the Driven Snow). Jisbon.

NOW COMPLETE! On an icy December night, Kimball Cho reconnects with his first love. It'll be a Christmas miracle if this Silent Knight can overcome his fears and find the love he richly deserves (especially if Jane and Lisbon have anything to say about it.) Romantic Christmas fun, spiced with a little Jisbon too. Rated T/M for language and adult situations.

Patrick Jane flipped through his program impatiently without attending to the details of its content. He'd read quite a bit about the San Francisco Symphony's new solo violinist, and he was anxious to see her in action. All the reviewers raved about her. He wanted to see if she lived up to the hype. AU/Romance

Jane meets up with his old boss, Virgil Manelli. Short and sweet.

Odyssey - a long wandering and eventful journey. Jane and Lisbon have cut their ties with law enforcement after Red John's death and are on the road. Needless to say trouble just finds them out. Although the stories will be in chronological order, they can be read as standalone stories. Complete for now but there may be some one shots later.

The title says it all. Walter Mashburn returns, his eye still on Teresa.

Set pre-Bluebird. Jane is lonely and hurt as he watches Teresa with Marcus Pike. But then a new lady enters his life. Will it take the pain away? Will things be different now? Don't worry - this is a Jisbon story.

AU, inspired by the novel The Prisoner of Zenda but very much a Mentalist tale. In the late 19th century, conman Patrick Jane finds himself mistaken for the prince engaged to Queen Teresa of Lisvonia, both of them in danger from the ambitious Duke known as Red John. Complete. Thank you to the fabulous phoenixx2812 for the cover!

AU. What would be of Jane and Lisbon's destiny if Red John had never killed Charlotte and Angela? I own nothing.

During a layover, Cho people watches. Some are strangers, and some are family. Post White Orchids.

What if The Mentalist was granted a short Season 8? Here's my take on the list of S8 episodes, with sneak peeks for the eps added in subsequent chapters. (This was great fun to write) 8.13, the Season 8 Finale is now up - White Knuckles. It's long for a sneak peek but it's the last one, so...I hope you enjoy this episode, and thanks for reading my imagined Season 8. Complete.

He felt her hand gently skim over his hair and sighed, wondering if she would hold his hand if he asked. He tended to avoid touching people because it brought back to him how much he missed human connection – but in Teresa's case he would make an exception. Jane whump

A series of "what if" stories that focus mostly around Jane and Lisbon.

Remember my story Forgotten? Here are one shots as we dip in and see how Jane's recovery is going, how his relationships are developing, and how the family is coping. It starts two months after going back home from California. Final chapter posted!

"So instead of pushing her away, my arms tighten around her, and I pull her body across mine as I recline on the couch, laying us both down so I can sleep beside her. I kiss her again, my lips brushing over the top of her head as she lays on my chest. She shivers against me."

"It seemed to him that they had managed to squeeze more into a single lifetime than average people. The thought made him smile a bit wistfully. No, they weren't average, any of them. They were extraordinary." My last TM story.

Tag to 7x12, 7x13. Done to death but here's my version. Set at the wedding and goes through the wedding night, honeymoon and afterward. Will be a few chapters. How does one handle pure and utter joy after years of pain and loneliness? Patrick is about to find out. T for now, but may venture later into M.

How did the SCU start? How did a motley group of people become a tightly-knit team and makeshift family? By necessity Jane doesn't appear till chapter 5 since this story takes it back to the formation of Lisbon's team and the gradual team bonding. Promise it will be interesting anyhow! / I do not own The Mentalist and reap no economic benefits from this story.

Lisbon goes missing. When Jane and the team find her they are faced with a shocking discovery of what has happened to her during the missing month, leaving both she and Jane disoriented. Can he help her become the person he fell in love with again? Can she put the pieces of herself back together? Can they find those responsible? Reviews are much appreciated. Finally complete!

Jane's reflections upon the birth of his second child - a short little one shot. The title is from the Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows. I hope I haven't fallen into the chasm of "horribly oversweet baby fics." You be the judge.

Episode tag/what if scenario to 4x20 where they investigated the murder of a high school teacher and Jane managed to infiltrate himself into a play to catch the killer. At the end of the episode they received a text from Rigsby announcing the birth of his son Ben. It picks up just after Jane left the bullpen looking upset. Angst & a little bit of fluff. Threeshot. Now complete!

"Looking at her was like looking at her mother. Her dark brown hair, emerald eyes and beautiful smile were almost identical to the love of his life's. Funnily enough, both were as easy to read as a children's book when they weren't trying to conceal their feelings enough." Jisbon, future-fic. Rated K. Fluff and family. One-shot.

Lisbon contemplates Jane's hands. A plot free, fluffy one shot. In the end, I couldn't resist writing about those hands...

An attempt at a well-deserved farewell for Fischer. Set somewhere between 'Blue Bird' and 'Nothing But Blue Skies'. Jane x Lisbon, team.

What would have happened if Pike had not been at Lisbon's house the night Jane showed up at her door with the cannoli from Il Tavolo Bianco? Here's my (ultimately) romantic take on what may (should?) have happened that evening. A little bit of angsty fluffiness. Twoshot. Reviews, as ever, are much appreciated. Now complete!

After the death of Red John, and with the Blake Association still at large, Jane and Lisbon flee to South America. Though they've left the conspiracy behind them, Lisbon soon finds their island paradise has its own complications when she begins to question the wisdom of being in a relationship with a professional conman. As always, Jane has the solution. Set after "Into the Blue."

AU: The CBI survives after exposing the corrupt law-enforcement Blake Association. Bertram has fled, Red John is dead, and Lisbon is the new CBI Director. Why do RJ and BA files go missing? Who's after Jane? What's next for Jane and Lisbon? The sequel to End of Red John / Start of a New Life - Part II. / I do not own The Mentalist and reap no economic benefits from this story.

They'd slipped into old habits almost immediately upon her arrival in Texas, moving seamlessly back into the behavior patterns of partners and best friends. The trouble was, Lisbon had spent a few too many nights alone by her fireplace for this arrangement to be entirely satisfying to her anymore. She wanted more.
