"Jane, we're damned if we do and damned if we don't. And quite frankly, if we're both going to hell, I'd rather travel there together." Post Red John's Footsteps.

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.

"Teresa twines her fingers with his. She is caught off-guard by the urgency in his tone, especially since this man is still somewhat of a stranger to her. But as she looks at him, she knows she doesn't really believe that. Even before they met, they were never strangers." Alternate universe.

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!

"Now, though, she really sees where he lives. Living might even be taking it a bit far. Where he wreaks havoc. The bed unmade, nothing personal anywhere. The place is the mess of a person that is a mess." JaneXLisbon (set somewhere around season 3,4-ish.)

"'Thank you,' she breathes. 'This was…this is the best Christmas gift I've ever received.' He nods at her. He cannot speak. 'I've been thinking about what to get you in return,' she continues, and before he can interrupt—she already is his gift; he doesn't need anything more—she cuts him off. 'And I finally figured it out.'"

"When this is over, do you want to fall in love again?" she asks. He looks at her strangely. "Your question is flawed," he says, and doesn't expand further. Only later does it occur to her that maybe he is already in love.

"And then I would have asked if I could kiss you, if I could love you, if I could spend my life trying to make you happy. Because I'd been thinking about doing all those things for the past two years—well, longer than that, really—and I'd finally realized that I was irrevocably in love with you." A variation on Blue Bird.

What would have happened if Lisbon had bailed Jane out after getting arrested in Vegas and not Lorelei? Here's my take on what might have occurred in 4x24 in place of what actually did. Multichapter. Reviews, as ever, are much appreciated. Finally complete!

(Arabic): The hope that one's lover will die after oneself because of how excruciating life would be without them. Fourth in the "In Case" series.

We don't get to choose what happens to us. We don't always get the chance to choose who we love, or the direction that our lives will take. But sometimes, sometimes we get to make a choice that stands for something that matters.

Red John is dead but his final act has destroyed the team. Five years later Lisbon has to work with them again when a new killer steps into the wings. Now she has to face Jane and his betrayal along with the mistakes she made and the sins she committed as well. Will they learn to forgive each other? Jisbon NOW REVISED!

"He wrapped his arms around her again, forgetting fatigue and exhaustion and pulled her close. The kiss they shared was slow and sweet and this time no one was telling them to stop. So they didn't. For a while." Dreams, hope, love, rest, cool-aid, plastic flamingos, the ocean and the full moon. In short: The "Blue Bird"-tag I've never meant to write. Multi-chapter.

Lisbon and Jane ponder truth, lies, and their relationship as they encounter a woman from their past. Based on spoilers for episode 7x03. Thanks to the fabulous From7heAshes for the cover!

A multichapter that starts a week or two after Silver Wings of Time (6.17). A person from Jane's past unexpectedly surfaces during a case, providing Lisbon with some much needed insight. (Departs from canon, but eventual Jane/Lisbon.) The final chapter 16 is now up and the story is complete!

Post 6x21: in anticipation of the season finale, I've concocted this little slice of Jisbon. Please, don't rush. There's plenty to go around. Please note the rating change, readers, it's there for a reason!

"Don't you just want to snuggle in and hit the road into the sunrise, seeking adventures and all?" Episode tag for 6x13 Black Helicopters and now including two SEQUELS/Episode tags for 6x14 Grey Water and 6x15 White as the Driven Snow - JISBON!

"In the end it was her choice. But every possible scenario he came up with ended with the same thing. A broken heart. Either his. Or Lisbon's." A romantic offer, jealousy, heartache, daydreams and in the middle of it all a crazy killer on the loose in an approaching snow-storm. What could possibly go wrong? Spoilers for 6x15 & beyond. Jisbon. Angsty fluffy multi-chapter :)

COMPLETE "Tragedy and sorrow force two resistant lovers to appreciate what is truly important in life and they discover that what's important is each other." -OR - "Lisbon felt prepared for everything until Death claims members of her family. And dammit! How much help was Jane gonna be?" Post-RJ. Rated T for adult situations/language.

A visit to the carnival sets in motion a series of unexpected events in the lives of Patrick Jane and Teresa Lisbon... Fifth and final part and the conclusion of my story arc. With the special appearance of one notorious serial killer…

Set post Red John. Jane and Lisbon discuss their past, present and future.

In the night after the case, Jane listens to Buddy Hennings' "Love Doctor" show and is surprised to hear a familiar voice asking for help. Goes AU after the episode. Jisbon/Fluff/Romance

NOW COMPLETE! Jane teases Lisbon about her poker skills, which leads to a conversation that surprises them both, spirals into plots and counter-plots, and leaves them facing a dilemma they never imagined, but might secretly want. Minor spoilers for early season 5, but goes AU from there. Thanks to phoenixx87 for the cover!
