Maura keeps a scientific study of Jane in her bedroom.

Sometimes one of them ends up in hospital. Maura is always there when Jane wakes, but Jane... well, Jane has other things to do.

"At times like this, it's almost a shame that it would be unacceptable for me to date you," Maura said, sounding a little wistful.

Jane and Maura spend an evening without their four children celebrating New Years Eve.

She's left the only life that she's ever known without looking back. Now Jane is back in Boston, and everyone has moved on. Her friends, and her family, even herself come with a lot more baggage these days. Time doesn't stand still for anyone. Will the support of her family and friends get her back on track?

Maura likes rituals, so she starts a new one with Jane. One where they kiss their goodbyes.

Maura has a staring place; it just so happens to be Jane's chest.

The power is out in Boston, and the shitty building manager hasn't been doing chimney maintenance. Jane is cold and alone on a winter's night, and as usual she makes a stupid decision.

Maura and the IT department have never gotten along.

Jane sprains her ankle and Maura takes care of her.

Maura and Jane keep getting caught in compromising positions. It would be awkward if they noticed.

Pre-series. Jane is working undercover in the drug unit at night, and there are girls disappearing from the streets. It's not her job, but Jane likes the girls she works with and feels a responsibility towards them. When the Angel of Death approaches, will Jane go quietly into that good night?

Maura knows Alexandra from work, but also from a bookclub she attends. Jane doesn't like to read the same kinds of books, so why do the other ladies always ask if Jane will come?

Maura was selective with touch, but even when they were fighting she'd never once flinched away from Jane.

I will remember you, will you remember me? Don't let your life pass you by Weep not for the memories

Follow-up to BarFly. This story dovetails with the series and hopefully, answers some questions we've all had about the relationship between our two ladies as portrayed in the series.

"It would just be sex," Maura said, sounding formal and matter-of-fact. "And only until I feel safe dating again." Lyrics from Sweet Surrender by Sarah McLachlan

Jane and Maura spend Christmas with their children.

Jane's always a little less patient when Casey is in town, and Maura takes it upon herself to use science to answer a question she'd initially asked Jane.

the bewitched mistletoe - angsty version this story shares the same 1st chapter than the fluffy version. It's still about Angela trying to bring Jane and Maura together with the help of a spell lol

Angela is frustrated: why can't Jane and Maura see that they are in love? After trying every trick in the book she is willing to reach for unusual measures to help them to recognise their feelings for each other.

"Oh, what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive!" (Sir Walter Scott, 1808)

AU. Maura is a prominent trauma surgeon in a London hospital. Jane is a Boston detective on secondment in the very same city. After eight years apart, seeing the years and the slow parade of fears, learning how not to cry, is it too late for them to feel the way they did before?

Angela is a little fed up of waiting. She's been waiting for years for Maura to marry one of her children, to make it official. But she never has

Jane lies awake, the guest bedroom door opened a crack. She listens for the creak of Maura's bed springs, waits for the nail she balanced on top of the bedroom door to drop. It doesn't, and when she goes to check, Maura is somehow gone.
