Summary
“So I had an idea.” Three groans immediately meet his ears. “It’s nothing illegal or even on the gray side of the law.” He quickly tries to reassure but when he is met with disbelieving faces he turns to look at Lisbon. His last hope, despite the fact that she's angry with him she’s always trusted him.
Her firm look immediately softens as she says, “Guys let’s hear him out.” Turning back to him she gives him a small nod to continue.
“I think we should start a private investigation firm.”
aka What if the plan to get Lisbon her job back had failed and the team was fired? What would become of them? How would Jane get his revenge without their help, without the help of the CBI? Without Lisbon?

Summary
When Teresa Lisbon arrives at the Seabreeze Palms Hotel & Spa she's dragging her heels, not ready to surrender to her enforced time off. She should be in Sacramento putting bad guys away but instead she's in San Diego "recovering" from a pursuit that went wrong.
She's not expecting to meet Patrick Jane, a high school teacher with eyes as blue as the ocean, and his daughter, Charlotte who make the week go by in a flash.
Maybe a dalliance by the sea doesn't have to be restrained to the romance novel she's reading.
A Jisbon AU - Jane and Lisbon are in their early forties and Charlotte is eighteen.

Summary
CBI Agent Teresa Lisbon spent years convincing herself her past tragedy was just an accident—nothing supernatural.
But her carefully constructed reality crumbles when Patrick Jane slinks into her life—vampire, con man, and the most dangerously alluring creature she's ever encountered.
His offer: professional success and justice for all... in exchange for joining his team and tolerating his occasional... meals. -

Summary
Searching for hints in the curve of his smile, the flicker in his eyes; she longs to pull them out of the labyrinth, to know what he fantasizes about before he drifts to sleep, what thoughts kept him up on the island, and why he’s here. Why he asked for her. But uncertainty is still woven around her heart; doubts and questions still unanswered.
After 6x16, Teresa wants to know once and for all if being with Jane is in the cards for them.

Summary
After being tortured and turned by the prolific serial killer Red John, Patrick Jane becomes the Covert Bureau of Supernatural Investigations' first vampire consultant. Teresa Lisbon is a woman who attracts death at every turn. And despite her distrust in the undead, the former conman turned walking corpse might just be the very thing she needs to bring Red John to justice -- but how many humans and strange folk will end up dead before then? And why is Lisbon keeping her own supernatural identity close to her chest?
A burning gold cross around her neck isn't enough to keep Jane away as he, Lisbon, Wayne Rigsby, Kimball Cho, and Grace Van Pelt navigate the dual worlds of the mundane and the monstrous solving cases to move deeper into Red John's impenetrable defenses. Because death comes for them all, eventually. And no one walks away unchanged.

Summary
“Goodnight, Jane.”
“Goodnight, Teresa.”The last thought that drifted through her mind came as a soft refrain that barely stirred, like a harp chord in the distance: this doesn’t mean anything.
Because it didn’t.
Just two insomniacs sharing space, trying to scratch out a few hours of sleep.Nothing more.
Or... the one where Baby!Jisbon are cosleeping platonic workmates... until they aren't. -

Summary
For Teresa Lisbon, the discovery of her pregnancy was anything but peaceful.
It happened amidst the whirlwind of capturing a serial killer, organizing a wedding reception she felt obligated to have, and the ever-present ghost of Patrick Jane's abandonment that always haunted her.
The journey to gather the courage to tell him the news was a solitary and turbulent one, turning her into a mess of tears and hormones, at the mercy of a rollercoaster of conflicting emotions.
or
What if, after the video call with Van Pelt and Rigsby, Teresa Lisbon's count wasn't about the number of wedding guests?

Summary
A collection of one-shots about conversations between Jane and Lisbon when in bed together. Definitely more innocent than it may sound.
Prompts welcome.
(Rated M because of potential hinted sexiness but idk)

Summary
Two years had been a long time.
He had spent months on end in paradise. Every day was survived by sunsets on the beach with the sand between his toes and the soft breeze to soothe him awake in the early mornings. And it had been nice. Yet each smile that had contently graced his face had faltered in those moments when he saw the spot beside him, vacant of her.
How did Lisbon and Jane handle his return from South America? What didn't we see in the show and what if... what if... what if.
Here's my take.Post Season 6, Episode 10.

Summary
He turned and walked away “See ya around Lisbon”
"Jane got in his car ignoring the last buzz of alcohol flowing through his veins and drove off.
Eager to put some distance between them. He wasn’t expecting it to feel so difficult, to walk away from her. That every fiber in his body told him that he was better, stronger with Lisbon at his side backing his play.""There won’t be another smiley face added to his conscience. He pushed down on the gas willing the car to go even faster."
This story explores the idea of Patrick Jane driven to the brink, were he feels that death, is his only way forward. Set some time after 6x01/02 and goes completely AU after.

Summary
“Every woman on this plane is green with envy.”
Right, because it was something to be jealous of. The grand love confession straight from a romantic comedy.
The girl's immediate reaction when she hears what she wanted to hear.
