She'd been hoping for a knock on her door. She hadn't expected something far closer to banging. Lisbon tried to keep her grin contained as she let the door swing open. "Jane." Jane, on the other hand, didn't seem to have any trouble keeping a smile off of his face. "Lisbon. You're home." Consummate-verse, sequel to Connection, set during 6.12
"I believe his exact words were, yes of course I love her," Rigsby continued. "I mean, I'm not sure he meant to say them, but..." "He only admitted it because you badgered him into it," Cho muttered. "You kept bringing up Pike, asking Jane if he had a plan." Lisbon overhears something unexpected and somewhat unwanted. Alternative to Blue Bird.
Even if most things about his return to the U.S. are better than he deserves, at least one thing is unacceptable. He's determined to fix it though. He hopes he can. He certainly wants to. Jane drops by Lisbon's apartment, long after the case is closed, with an unexpected question. And she isn't sure how to react. For Chibs, set immediately after 6.11.
Or Five Times Jane and Lisbon found themselves in a closet at the FBI. Minor spoilers for S7, but they're covered by the episode description of the premiere or the promo. Thanks to Chibs for the prompt of Jane plus Lisbon plus Closet.
Definition: antinomy - a contradiction between two statements that seem equally reasonable. In the aftermath of the Bittaker case, Lisbon and Jane are both certain their positions are correct. Unfortunately, they're also in opposition, with no solution in sight. Post-ep to 7.08.
Lisbon is acting strangely. Jane is determined to figure out what's bothering her. Post 7.05.
Standing in front of her, Jane suddenly realized that breaking might not be the worst thing in the world. After the Cole Foster-Marie Flannigan case, both Lisbon and Jane try to deal with what almost happened. Post-ep (and spoilers) for 7.02.
Jane knows there are things he is not going to be good at when it comes to being in a relationship. But he wants to be in a relationship (he wants to make her happy), so he comes up with a solution. Spoilers for 7.01. Fluff.
Lisbon and Jane independently reflect on past and future choices. Unfortunately there are no easy answers. Particularly when communication is difficult. Post 6.18.
Jane decides to buy Lisbon a toy of her own. It doesn't go as well as he expected it to. Post-ep to 6.13. J/L Friendship fic.
Over the years, after a tough day she'd also gotten used to a cup of tea and an absolutely-not-hovering consultant (a compensation the Washington Sheriff's office had never boasted). It seemed that the FBI came with that service though (more than compensating for the occasional mortal danger). Lisbon and Jane try to deal with their shifting relationship. Sequel to Consummate.
