FiascoWayhide bio
 Author has written 7 stories for Mentalist. I'm an avid reader who has returned to world of fanfiction after some 20 years. You can blame The Mentalist and the awesome writers on this site for my return :-) I live very happily with my wife and two children in Melbourne, Australia which goes along way to consoling me to the fact I'm a frustrated writer instead of a published author. I love literature across all of the 'brows'. Favourite authors include Orwell, Dostoyevsky, Clive James, PG Wodehouse, Damon Runyon, Jack Vance, Steven Brust, Tolkien, Jane Austen, the Bronte sisters, Umberto Eco and Don Delilo. Favourite TV shows: I'm not a big TV watcher but I like shows with good writing and great acting. The Wire, True Detective, Deadwood, Mad Men and Firefly are among my very favourites. I came relatively late to The Mentalist but have since caught on every episode. The show, and especially Jane/Lisbon really resonates with me. |

AU: Done with Austin and free of the FBI, Jane and Lisbon chart their future in what remains a murky, dangerous world.

End of Hope by YulianaHenderson reviews
"Life with Marcus Pike was not as bad as she had expected. He cherished her, loved her, and he took care of her. Just because she didn't love him back didn't mean that she wasn't appreciative of his care." Starts off with Lisbon/Pike, but eventually turns to Jisbon. Angsty, AU, but I feel like it could have been a possibility.

The Unmentalist reviews
Red John has met a humiliating end and Jane is shacked up with a massage therapist. When she kicks him out he wonders if maybe Lisbon is 'the one'. This story is a friendly send up of the more traditional Jane/Lisbon pairing so true romantics had best avoid or risk bitter disappointment :-) Set during an unspecified time at the CBI. *COMPLETE*
