AU, 1959. Revolves around teenaged Rizzles: Jane fighting her attraction to Maura, and Maura, once she figures it out, trying to get her to go with it. Actions speak louder than words. Because I love a slow burn and the journey of figuring it all out. EPILOGUE POSTED in two parts.

"Can we be elephants, Maur?" Jane saw Maura's eyes soften and a tiny smile creep onto her lips. "Please, Maura? I can't do it alone. I can't do it without you. And I don't want to… I just… I can't do it alone." This is a draft. Read and download the final version at feltknickers . tumblr . com/elephants.

Maura goes to a conference and meets the man of her dreams. It tears Jane apart, and she leaves to take a position in another city. After being severely injured in an accident, Jane comes back to Boston, and finds out things are not how she left them. Rizzles Fan Awards WINNER! - Best Plot and Best Author! Runner up- Best Angst/Drama!

Sequel to "Just Give Me a Reason" Not necessary to read that to read this, but definitely give it a read if you like this. Jane and Maura are married, have twins, are still as kickass as ever. Picks up around 3x02. Seasons 1-2 covered in first Fic. Rated T generally, but some chapters are M. Thanks for reading!

An AU set in the Old West. Why? Because I want to know how a proper, aspiring female doctor would react to a driven, hard-as-nails woman on the range. They don't know it yet, but Maura's fiancee just met his match.
