Five Times the Team Realised Jane Loved Lisbon, And One Time They Saw What That Meant by Word_Woven
Fandoms: The Mentalist (TV 2008)

Summary
Patrick Jane does not realise he is in love with Teresa Lisbon all at once.
He realises it in pieces: in tea made without asking, in a crooked tie fixed before an interview, in her voice cutting through the dark before he can drown in it. Lisbon realises it harder, after the apartment feels wrong without him in it and the silence starts to feel less like peace and more like absence.
The team notices after that.
Cho notices first, because of course he does. Van Pelt notices because Lisbon smiles differently. Rigsby notices last, dramatically and far too late for his dignity to survive intact.
But when an old enemy of Jane’s comes back with bodies, messages, and a plan designed to tear him apart, the team finally sees the truth beneath all the teasing, domesticity, and quiet office touches.
This was never casual.
Patrick Jane survived losing his wife once.
He would not survive losing Teresa Lisbon.

Summary
They’re in her tiny apartment bathroom, her sitting on the closed toilet lid and him crouched on the bathmat in front of her. He’s busy cleaning off her knees, picking the sidewalk grit from the scrapes and wiping the crimson streaks from her legs. It’s weirdly intimate, or it should be, but it’s just intimate and not weird at all, really. Dani wonders if it would be out of place to put on a quiet Spotify playlist and maybe stroke his loose hair.
(In which Dani is held before she ever sets foot on Swedish soil.)

Summary
Theirs is not a simple story.
Or perhaps, it is the simplest story in the world. It really is a matter of perspective.
---
An almost (not quite) fairy tale in which Dani and Pelle each are born, live, and follow the paths they believed they should. What comes before that fated Midsommar, during it, and perhaps most important of all: the messy, glorious together ever after.

Summary
As it should be; their first coupling takes place with water and earth pulsing against them, meeting and joining and stirring beneath their soaked bodies. It is fated, because the soil needs rain to grow, because the bull needs a moon maiden to weaken and strengthen his resolve, because he wants her and that is enough.
Life itself manifests at the point where he ends and she begins, and so the will of the universe; the stars and sun and the planets above, will let him have her.

Summary
When the bus stops in Cleveland, Ohio, she needs to decide if she goes south or if she keeps on going west. Staying isn’t a possibility, New York is still too close, but then again, it feels like New York will always be too close.
Karen Page is missing and no one will find her. She died somewhere between Indianapolis and Sioux Falls in a rundown Greyhound bus.
or Karen pulls a Gone Girl after the Grand Jury fiasco.
