Kate is horny and overwhelmed and needs someone else to be in control for a minute. Enter: Yelena and party games.
"Can I tell you something I wanted to do at the museum all day, Kate Bishop?" Kate waited for her to say something, but instead, Yelena just shifted her hand closer to Kate's and threaded their fingers together. / Yelena finds someone real.
No repression, no traumatic accidents spurring romantic confessions, no drama. Just Jane and Maura realizing that their friendship could be the groundwork for something more and that being together is what makes sense. (Low key, sort of a collection of long-ish drabbles as they sort through this new relationship.)
ONESHOT, non-(romantic) Rizzles. Follow-up a few years down the road where Jane is killed in the line of duty, and Maura and Casey have a confrontation about Jane's young son.
"Did you know that one year ago to the day, I really, really, really wanted to kiss you, sitting exactly where we are now?" (slight AU with Jane & Maura in their late twenties. because.) ONESHOT
Oneshot old west AU of Jane and Maura "Holes" style - because did we not all swoon at Sam romancing Kate with "I can fix that"? (*Holes' Sam/Kate... minus the angsty ending, I should clarify.)
Just a quick 4x14 oneshot because I could not get over the idea of Jane being sad about Frank and Maura comforting her over it all.
