Effect

Summary:

"Don't worry, Jane has this effect on people."

A short drabble (100 words) set at the end of episode 4x19, wrote during a (yet another) rewatch.

Notes:

(See the end of the work for notes.)

Work Text:

Don't worry, Jane has this effect on people

What effect, Teresa?
Making people angry, making them doubt themselves, making their certainties waver.
Making them feel... small.
No, seriously, Rees. What effect?
It makes people feel embarrassed, makes them... you blush.
And that's all?
It makes you want to look away, because his gaze is so deep it's unbearable.
It chases bad thoughts away and makes you smile.
It makes you want to kick him, but also hold him in your arms and tell him everything will get better.
That we'll catch Red John.
That he'll kill him, if necessary.
But above all, beside Jane, being unhappy is impossible.

Notes:

Another fanfic translated from Italian (here). Am I on a good path? Maybe, we'll see.
