Some people do their best work when they are under pressure. Repost of an old story off of Wordpress before I start posting the sequel to this story. Written 2002-ish.

AU - Stephanie gets attacked in the Tasty Pastry by Joe Morelli. She defends herself and feels her only way to survive is by running away. A/N: I started writing this story in February as indicated in the photo selected for the story. This is not a product of prompts or other story ideas posted in the FB JE pages.

Story idea by Harmne (thanks, Babe!) Steph is out of work and takes a job at RangeMan as the assistant housekeeper.

Taking a break from managing the mayhem that is Rangeman, Tank attempts to right an impending wrong.

Ranger holds his annual meetings with his business partners.

Stephanie reflects on her life, the people in it, and her work ethic. Decision time. Time to make some changes. It's time to ditch the problematic aspects of her life, and there are quite a few. Who and what are causing these problematic issues? AU Drama. A SONG FIC inspiration: Lose Control by Teddy Swims. But the Muse took a different tangent.

Stephanie Plum is the FBI's top SSA and Technical Analyst. After a colleague suddenly retires, she is assigned to work with Rangeman on a complex case. The only problem is that she must return to Trenton, NJ, where she never vowed to step foot again. Will she be safe? Only time will tell. AU.

A Lester/OC music short to the tune Save Me by Jelly Roll. Established Steph and Ranger.

October writing prompt from the Janet Evanovich Fan Fiction page on Facebook.

Stephanie has to capture two skips before midnight on Halloween. She runs into strange situations as she celebrates her favourite holiday with her husband and friends.

AU/AR. Stephanie has deep secrets in her past. Secrets so well hidden that Stephanie doesn't remember them. She embarks on a journey, guided by her nightmares. Was everything a dream or is her past haunting her?

A chance meeting on a dance floor. Two hearts, so close and yet so far apart. But maybe, just maybe, it doesn't have to be that way. Another angsty story from the vault, written circa 2002. Edit: Okay, by request, this is now 2 chapters and done AND a Babe HEA.

Stephanie meets a sexy Cuban-American bounty hunter named Ranger. He assists her on the first case she lands, none other than Joseph Morelli, who is accused of murder. She knows nothing about the man in black. Ranger marries Stephanie after she captures Morelli. Imagine her surprise when she learns more about her husband.

An unfortunate series of events forces Stephanie into a whole new world.

A so-called romantic getaway with Joe Morelli turned into a wonder-filled adventure in a world she didn't know existed and a final destination Stephanie Plum thought she'd never reach. Babe HEA.

AU/AR. Ranger and his brothers move to Trenton to start a security company. Slow Burn Babe HEA.

The characters of Janet Evanovich in my version of Trenton right after the end of Dirty Thirty. There is angst and bad words and limited sex (mostly referenced, not seen as that is not my talent). A Babe all the way but there will be trouble and grief.

A seemingly kind act brews trouble for Stephanie.

Steph doesn't know why this keeps happening to her. Someone is following her and she has to rely on Ranger and his merry men to keep her safe. But what if she isn't the only one in danger?

Stephanie's mood and mindset get an unexpected boost first from Ranger's appearance and then from his understanding.

"Her absence is like the sky, spread over everything." CS Lewis, "A Grief Observed". MAJOR CHARACTER DEATHS. Songfic, Natalie Merchant, My Beloved Wife.

Based on a meme of book covers with bare-chested men.

Steph returns home for the holidays after a year away. She discovers some things can't be resolved with just time and distance. It all leads back to him and her hometown, you can run but only so far. Loosely inspired by the song of the same name by Taylor Swift.

Which HR rules were written specifically for you?

Why, when you see boys fight does it look so horrible, yet feel so right? Steph has never met anyone like the new kid in school, but she knows right away that she would go to the ends of the earth for him. And in turn he'll do anything to free her of the Burg's shackles. AU starting in highs school but moving through to adulthood. Not friendly to Morelli or Helen. Eventual Babe HEA
