"Everything you read in books, the whispers from generation to generation, the films; they're real like you and me." When an unusual case occurs, Jane and Maura are thrust into a hidden world within Boston where monsters are among mortals. But, the case gets more complicated when the threat of a greater evil will come upon Boston. Can Jane and Maura stop them or, will Boston fall?

One shots in 'The Way It Should Have Been' universe. Mostly prompts. Might also include anything I missed when I started writing The Way It Should Have Been.

It's Thanksgiving and the Rizzoli family as usual celebrates this day at Jane and Maura's house and the celebration takes an unexpected turn (Rizzles Story of course)

C'est le jour de Thanksgiving et la famille Rizzoli comme d'habitude fête ce jour chez Jane et Maura et la célébration prend un tour inattendu (Histoire Rizzles bien entendu)

RizzlesCon was next week, and Susie was more than ready for it. She hadn't told Doctor Isles or Detective Rizzoli about the fanbase their documentary had garnered for itself, that everyone had been watching with baited breath to see if they'd ever - finally - kiss.

The Rizzolis are a physically affectionate family. Perhaps a little too affectionate. But Maura, who has never known affection, can never get enough. Then things started getting weird. Or, rather, wierder. (Obviously they're not all romantic kisses, it's hijinks) OG posted July 4, 2023, crossposted Nov 11, 2023

Maura and Jane compare characters they can see parts of themselves and each other in. OG posted June 26, 2023, crossposted Nov 11, 2023

She comes, bruised, to the door, and Maura takes her in and heals her. Jane and Dean are unhappily married, and Maura desperately wishes things could be different. Rizzles. OG posted June 23, 2023, crossposted Nov 11, 2023

You, with your words like knives And swords and weapons that you use against me You have knocked me off my feet again Got me feeling like I'm nothing You, with your voice like nails on a chalkboard Calling me out when I'm wounded You, picking on the weaker man OG posted June 22, 2023, crossposted Nov 11, 2023

Susie has the unerring knack of knocking every time Jane and Maura sneak away to sneak sneaky kisses in Maura's office. OG posted June 22, 2023, crossposted Nov 11, 2023

Maura has Jane wrapped around her finger, and their colleagues have noticed. But I'm in so deep You know I'm such a fool for you You got me wrapped around your finger Do you have to let it linger? Do you have to, do you have to, do you have to let it linger? Linger - the Cranberries OG posted May 27, 2023, crossposted Nov 11, 2023

She was just a set of eyes that watched Jane's bare chest rise and fall with her breath. Watched as gallon after gallon of blood pumped in and out of her straining heart. Watched as the beeping started to stabilise, as they closed the gaping wound in Maura's heart/gut wound in Jane's torso OG posted May 25, 2023, crossposted Nov 11, 2023

Jane broke up with men for a lot of stupid reasons. But for Casey, it was a really good reason. OG posted May 22, 2023, crossposted Nov 11, 2023

And maybe Jane needed this a little too. So fuck it. That's the last thing Jane remembers thinking as she grasps the collar of Maura's stylish dark blue shirt, hooking her fingers in the fabric and bringing Maura's face close, the hazel eyes soft and curious and landing on Jane's mouth as her own adjusts for the collision course Jane has set.

Jane and Maura muse over having TJ in their lives OG posted May 7, 2023, crossposted Nov 11, 2023

Drabble.

In all the morgues in all the worlds (you walked into mine) In another world, maybe Jane doesn't grab the radio. Maybe Danny kills the three of them, Jane standing protectively in front of Maura the way she had been all afternoon. Maybe the bullet that pierces Jane's chest also penetrates Maura's. One bullet, both of their blood on it. OG posted May 7, 2023, crossposted Nov 11

Jane had started soft and sweet, but Maura was kissing Jane like her life depended on it, like the only oxygen in the world was in Jane's lungs, her hands pulling Jane tight against her, desperate, drowning. OG posted March 5, 2023, crossposted Nov 11, 2023

Jane calls at 3 a.m. sometimes. Based on the Matchbox 20 song. OG posted April 25, 2023, crossposted Nov 11, 2023

"You can let go now," Maura says, sliding her gloves off but not moving away. Wistful. OG posted April 18, 2023, crossposted 11/11/2023

Maura would have watched. Not out of a perverse pleasure, wishing it was her touching Jane. Not for evidence; she would have had to let it record anyway. But because if Jane had to go through that, then Maura had to go through it too. OG post April 17, 2023, crossposted 11/11/2023

Come join Jane and Maura as they navigate married life, career changes, and parenthood. This follows the events that took place in Future of Promises. I would suggest reading Wonderful Unknown and Future of Promises.

And then Maura is in the doorway of your bedroom, looking awkwardly in at the two of you. The light from the kitchen window makes her hair glow, and she looks like she belongs here in your bachelor hovel, not Casey.

Jane buys Maura an FBI souvenir that turns out to be less than legitimate. Maura wants to keep it. OG posted March 27, 2023, crossposted Nov 8, 2023.

Jane dreams of the piano. She dreams of her fingers, long and fluid on the keyboard, her feet on the pedals. OG posted March 25, 2023, crossposted Nov 8, 2023
