Summary
"Lisbon," he said, "I wouldn't do that to you. I'm your partner." She laughed out loud. "Right. My 'partner' who ditches me for six months for an undercover op he can't be bothered to tell me about. My 'partner' who hangs me out to dry in an interview with our lead suspect. I'm a stepping stone to Red John. Just like Lorelei. Except you've had to stand on me for a lot longer."

Summary
With his first wife, Jane had no concept of what it would be like to lose everything. Now that he knows that pain, he clings all the tighter. It's complicated. His thoughts about Lisbon range from acceptable to physically impossible. He wants to put a ring on her finger. He wants to bring her flowers. He wants to read her mind. He wants to violate the principle of impenetrability and occupy the same space as her. If he could carry her with him everywhere he goes, maybe that would be enough to soothe his battered and ruined heart.

Summary
“You’ve been running a con on me,” Lisbon accuses him, but she can’t help the smile tugging at her lips.
Jane huffs. “Of course I have. Teresa, I’ve been running the most transparent, gentle con of my life on you.” He pauses, eyes scanning her face, taking in her lack of anger with relief. “To be frank, I hesitate to call it a con when I’m practically laying my intentions at your feet.”

Summary
He wants to lick her skin, he wants to bite whatever he can reach. He wants to map every inch until there is no freckle that he doesn’t know.
He could go slowly, be gentle and caring, show her how loved she is - how much he cares about her.
He could be rough - hold her down, bring her over the edge over and over again until she’d lose her mind completely.
Would she let him if he asked?
What would she want from him?
Would she want him?

Summary
Jane inhales sharply and then lets out a long exhale, his hands clenching and unclenching at his sides. He’s staring at her intently, his chest heaving, his body shaking. “Are you leaving for D.C.?”
Her face falls. “What?”, she repeats again, this time her voice is trembling.
“Are you. Leaving. For D.C.?”, he punctuates firmly.
________
In other words, what would happen if Jane reacted differently right after Cho told him Lisbon is leaving?
(aka I dashed this off at 2 a.m. yesterday, then I chickened out and I'm trying again before I lose the courage)

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
In East Asian folklore there is something called the Red Thread of Fate, or more colloquially known as “invisible red string theory”. It suggests that two people can be destined to meet and be together usually romantically through an invisible red string that connects them.
And that string very much exists connecting Patrick Jane and Teresa Lisbon.
Or more simply, what if they had a physical relationship during the CBI era?
Part 2 now posted after requests!!
(Warnings: Mild sexual content, references to sexual assault and suicidal ideation.)

Summary
She’s not sure what overcomes her, but she drops her sandals and wraps her arms around his neck, kissing him. His lips are chapped and taste like salt. The ocean roars in her ears, and she’s kissing Jane, and the sun beats down on her skin, and he’s kissing her back.
Soulmates, she briefly thinks. This is what it must mean.
How her body perfectly aligns with his. How his mouth slots over hers. How his hands curve around her ribcage.
(or, snapshots of jane and lisbon falling in love)

Summary
Knowing he’s there puts her so completely at ease that, with him in her bed, she’s never slept better.
Only, each new morning she wakes with him in her bed, warm and real and present in a way she’d never dared believe he could be, she can see it on his face. It’s a face she’s seen him wear before.
He isn’t sleeping. Not even for a minute.

Summary
“What does a girl want to hear?” he asks her, looking at her with more sincerity on his face than she thinks she’s ever seen. But there’s uncertainty there too, in the tone of his voice, and it’s discomfiting; she doesn’t have a playbook for this version of him.
“I wish I knew.”
She regrets it the second the words leave her mouth because they taste like a lie and she knows he’ll see it; he always does.

Summary
The Red John investigation reaches its climax when Lisbon is lured to 5570 West Huron where she finds not only Brett Partridge bleeding out but Sheriff Thomas McAllister who only plans to play with her, another way to get one up on Jane, but it all gets out of hand.
Jane knew he had crossed a line the moment Lisbon left him in Salton Sea, but he didn't truly grasp what the consequences of that could be until he witnesses her fighting for her life in a pool of her own blood.
He glances towards the double doors at the end of the hallway, the ones marked Restricted Access. Beyond them, Lisbon is in surgery. His partner. His anchor. His...friend? The word feels too small, too inadequate for what she’s become to him.
An alternate ending to S06E01 - The Desert Rose.
