Summary
They’re always fleeting - obscure glimpses granted by the universe, gentle nudges pushing each person that much closer to their destiny. How exactly Amy is supposed to work with the transient taste of mozzarella and pepperoni, in America’s pizza capital no less, she has no idea.
(Of course, David, with his freakish photographic memory and infuriating luck, only needed the flashing images beneath his eyelids to clue him in. He’d gone and found his soulmate less than an hour after he’d gotten his driver’s license.)
AU in which soulmates share one of the five basic senses, and Amy is blessed/cursed with the taste of gummy bears and fruit roll ups every morning.

Summary
“Oh, hi! I’m starting today. Detective Santiago.”
It somehow never crossed Jake’s mind that they’d meet – really meet – at some point.
The future versions of her he’d encountered always seemed familiar with him, but he’d assumed that was the natural effect of countless visits across space and time. Like, maybe she’d come to know him as her mysterious but cool time travelling buddy, in the same way he’d dubbed her as the beautiful girl his lucky soul just consistently gravitated toward.
He takes her outstretched hand and shakes it, letting autopilot guide him through the motions of any other introduction. “Detective Peralta. Welcome aboard.”
Her eyebrows furrow a bit as she gets a better look at him. “Do I know you from somewhere? I feel like I’ve seen you before.”
“Uh–” Jake’s mouth opens and closes dumbly. This probably isn’t a conversation to be had within earshot of half the bullpen. (Even if it was, he wouldn’t know where to start.) He shakes his head, letting out what he hopes is a casual chuckle. “No, no. I don’t think so. Although I have been told I look a lot like Jesse Eisenberg. Maybe it’s the hair?”

Summary
They’d first met in the fall of their freshman year.
Amy can still remember it with perfect clarity: how Jake rushed into the lecture hall, hair unruly and plaid shirt rumpled. He looked like he’d just woken up, or maybe never slept. Perhaps he’d pulled an all nighter in prep for their big exam. (She had gotten the recommended eight hours of sleep, naturally, and had gotten up with more than enough time to have a balanced breakfast and to go over her review sheets.)

Summary
She snaps up reflexively, eyes wide. “You think this is from Charles?” The question leaves her lips before she’s able to think about it. She almost winces at how her voice squeaks, a step higher than usual.
Jake scoffs. “This probably cost at least a hundred bucks, Amy. Who else would go Full Boyle on something as dumb as Secret Santa? Nobody takes precinct-wide gift exchanges this seriously. Like, I legit just went and got HR Jim candy from the vending machine.”
A Christmas-themed Get Together fic separate from the canon timeline, feat. Pining!Amy and the art of thoughtful gift giving.

Summary
In fall of 2009 Rosa showed up at Jake's apartment unannounced to propose marriage. Which was weird for a number of reasons, primarily because Jake had no idea she even knew where he lived.
"No seriously," he said, once he stopped laughing. "Why're you here."
She looked at him with a raised eyebrow. "One thousand push-ups."
"Cool," Jake said. "Let me get my coat."

Summary
Gina stared straight ahead and Jake watched her. Then, with the apprehension of a man about to grab a rattlesnake, he leaned forward and pressed a kiss to her temple, his nose and eyes scrunching. When he pulled away, he was smiling and she was utterly confused.
Jake and Gina explore some unresolved feelings from their youth and lean on each other while they try to cope with Nana's death and grapple with what their lives will be turning into as Jake nears graduation from the police academy. Rated M for conversations of drug use and noncon.

Summary
"There’s this one second where they’re just half-smiling at each other awkwardly and she’s the only thing that even matters in the room and maybe even in the entire world and it’s, uh, nice, as seconds go. One of the better seconds he’s had, definitely."
or, the one where jake peralta is already falling fast and hard when amy santiago asks for his number (for work purposes only, obviously) and something that vaguely resembles his idea of flirting ensues.
