 Author has written 3 stories for Mentalist. I have other works in other fandoms up on Archive of Our Own and LiveJournal, but it seems like this is where the Mentalist crowd hangs out, so here I am, very late to the party. |

Pretending, I: Witness by inkstainedfingers97 reviews
She blew out a breath. "I don't understand how it's so easy for you to pretend all this is real." His jaw tightened. "Well, that makes us even then. Because I don't understand how it's so easy for you to pretend that it isn't."

Trouble with a Capital T by DashaD reviews
And that rhymes with P and that stands for...psychic? An AU in which huckster/conman Patrick Jane arrives in the small town of Cannon River looking for some rubes to fleece a la Professor Harold Hill. How will his plans change when he meets the skeptical and headstrong Teresa Lisbon? Not as cheesy as it sounds. NOW COMPLETE!

Into the Blue by half agony and hope reviews
The rational thing to do—the safe thing to do—would be to walk away from Jane as though this moment had never happened. The stakes were already high enough now with Red John so close, and tensions were escalating between them both. But despite all that—or perhaps because of it—Lisbon was tired of rationality, of reason, and of safety. Post Red John's Rules.

All You Have Is Your Word by SierraSilver reviews
"I don't know who I am anymore," she chokes. "I used to be someone, I used to make decisions and know what I thought about things, and then somewhere along the line I wasn't someone anymore. Somewhere along the line I stopped existing without you." (A Blue Bird AU. Because sometimes it's not as easy as just getting off a plane and saying you feel the same way.)

Just a Kiss in the Moonlight by 23Sammy reviews
"He wrapped his arms around her again, forgetting fatigue and exhaustion and pulled her close. The kiss they shared was slow and sweet and this time no one was telling them to stop. So they didn't. For a while." Dreams, hope, love, rest, cool-aid, plastic flamingos, the ocean and the full moon. In short: The "Blue Bird"-tag I've never meant to write. Multi-chapter.

Beyond the Rainbow by halleycat77 reviews
A tag to Forest Green that got out of hand. Lisbon considers the move to DC, Jane reacts badly, and Lisbon decides to get the truth out of him, one way or the other. AU after Forest Green. An alternate (and quicker!) route to happy little bluebirds. No plot. A lot of thinking, a lot of talking, and a lot about Jane's ring...

Dreaming of White by 23Sammy reviews
"In the end it was her choice. But every possible scenario he came up with ended with the same thing. A broken heart. Either his. Or Lisbon's." A romantic offer, jealousy, heartache, daydreams and in the middle of it all a crazy killer on the loose in an approaching snow-storm. What could possibly go wrong? Spoilers for 6x15 & beyond. Jisbon. Angsty fluffy multi-chapter :)

A New Point of Navigation by ImOrca reviews
Lisbon engages Jane in a bit of conversational jousting, and comes to recognize the kind of trust it requires. Even the most light-hearted talk can have a serious point. Suggested Jisbon.

Repelling Ever Closer by hardly loquacious reviews
A collection of all of my season 3 AU post-eps. Last season J/L were in a slightly screwed-up established relationship. It disintegrated slightly over the summer. The collection picks up after the premiere and will follow the new season.

A Metaphoric Step Forward by ImOrca reviews

Until the Red Light of Dawn by Aquila1 reviews
Somehow he’d needed to be here tonight, in the rooms warmed by her presence, lulled by the soft cadence of her breath, reminding him that not everything that meant something to him died. Post-ep to Redwood. Minor Jane/Lisbon

Suspicion reviews
"Lisbon," he said, "I wouldn't do that to you. I'm your partner." She laughed out loud. "Right. My 'partner' who ditches me for six months for an undercover op he can't be bothered to tell me about. My 'partner' who hangs me out to dry in an interview with our lead suspect. I'm a stepping stone to Red John. Just like Lorelei. Except you've had to stand on me for a lot longer."

A Case of You reviews
When she'd been debating whether or not to get involved with him, she'd imagined that, given his personal history, he would be the paranoid one, cooking up elaborate schemes to keep her out of the line of fire. It had never occurred to her that she might be the one losing her mind instead. (sequel to A Game of Truth)

A Game of Truth reviews
Then it hit him. The thing Lisbon most wanted from him was honesty. She wanted to be in on the gag, to understand where he was coming from and why he did the things he did. And she was right. If he couldn't give that to her, he had no business pursuing her. So he would tell her the truth, so much of it that she couldn't help but see him differently - see them differently.
