Summary
“Jane, stop it, seriously! A woman is claiming to be your dead wife and you wanna hypnotize me!?”
He tenses. His eyes flicker from her left to her right pupil. “Is that who you're talking to?” he asks. Then she hears him say, “It must be the medication. It's causing hallucinations. I need to get a doctor.” But his lips don't move.
It freaks her out. Is there something wrong with her eyes? Her brain? Is that why she can't see his mouth move even though she heard him speak? “Yeah, maybe you should get a doctor,” she agrees shakily. “Unless this is one of your tricks. Jane, I'm gonna be so pissed if this is one of your tricks.”
In which O'Laughlin's bullet did more damage, psychic powers are real, and Lisbon gets to know Jane's wife.

Summary
Then it hit him. The thing Lisbon most wanted from him was honesty. She wanted to be in on the gag, to understand where he was coming from and why he did the things he did. And she was right. If he couldn't give that to her, he had no business pursuing her. So he would tell her the truth, so much of it that she couldn't help but see him differently - see them differently.

“Well,” he says. “If I stay at your place, we’re obviously going to have sex, and—”
“I’m not going to force you to have sex with me if you don’t want to,” Lisbon huffs.
“Just let me finish,” Jane says. Lisbon waits, lips pursed, staring him down. It’s hard not to be a little offended. “I feel like I’m not at my full potential,” he admits, gesturing to his wounded ankle.
aka Jane makes Lisbon wait until his ankle is healed before he'll have sex with her.

Summary
After the death of Red John - a rewrite of the last season and a half after 6x08. Jane and Lisbon's story, a slowburn Jisbon centered novel of episodes.
There were a lot of things that irked me in the series after the death of RJ. The lack of character growth in the 2-year time hop, the Pike-Lisbon arc, Haibach's role, certain plot holes and ultimately, how little we got to see of Jane and Lisbon's relationship.
This fic is the ramblings of a dreamer, how I wish things could've been in a show I adored so much, with the two characters and their relationship that had captivated me and left me wishing for more. This is it. This is the more.

“Good.” He stretched again, briefly debating whether to move to the far corner of the room, out of her immediate reach. “Because we need to get naked.”
Her whole face reacted – eyes, mouth, jaw – all widened in beautiful, comical horror. “What?!”
“Teresa, these clothes are soaked. They’ll dry faster off our bodies, and we’ll be less likely to freeze to death.”

Summary
‘Hey, Lisbon. I need you to come in today,” comes Cho’s even voice through the speaker.
Jane lets out a huff, already knowing what his wife will undoubtedly end up agreeing to. Lisbon shoots him an exasperated glance, her hand coming up to cover his mouth.
“I’m off today. I have plans,” she tells her former subordinate, all the while ignoring her partner’s frown beneath her palm.
“I’m sorry,” Cho says through the phone. “But we have a new high profile case and we're too green. I need you to be the team lead on this one.”
Picking up a couple of odd weeks after the finale, our favourite duo is once again tasked with solving a dangerous case. When someone’s life is inevitably put on the line, will they be able to crack the case in time?

Summary
'Because it’s not that she’s never thought about it. She tries not to think about it, most of the time, but she doesn’t always succeed. It’s just - they spend so much time together. And she really does like him, just as a person. And he is very handsome. It would be hard for someone in her position to not think about it, she imagines. But she still tries not to think about it anyway.'

Frank groans.
“Yeah, yes, I’m living with her,” he says and Robby gets that crazy look in his eyes so Frank barrels on, “It’s not like that. Robby it’s not,” and Robby doesn’t look like he believes him one bit. “I’m living in her spare room and I pay her rent. We’re roommates. That’s not a crime.”

They stay like that for what feels like a good few minutes before she pulls back, letting her hands fall to his chest as he stares at her with those hazel eyes she finds herself drowning in most days, a gentle but unsure smile on her lips, “Are you happy?”
“The happiest.”
And with his words, she feels some of the weight lift from shoulders and her mind get a little bit clearer.
