Summary
What if Red John broke Lorelei out of prison? What if Jane was given a choice he couldn’t refuse?
This story is AU post s5ep1 (technically AU post s5ep2 because I just had to slide in a mention of Devils Cherry — it’s one of my favorite episodes). I’ve decided to take liberty with Jane’s past as not much is given in canon, especially his childhood. Also, in my story it’s an OC RJ, not canon RJ. Please see the author's note for more details or you can skip my ramblings and go straight to reading.

CBI Agent Teresa Lisbon spent years convincing herself her past tragedy was just an accident—nothing supernatural.
But her carefully constructed reality crumbles when Patrick Jane slinks into her life—vampire, con man, and the most dangerously alluring creature she's ever encountered.
His offer: professional success and justice for all... in exchange for joining his team and tolerating his occasional... meals.Series

Summary
Samantha started working for the CBI about a year ago, and from the beginning, she and Patrick Jane had chemistry, whether Samantha wanted to acknowledge it or not. Patrick, however, did acknowledge it and decided to use their most recent case to his advantage. In this story, Samantha will have to come to terms with the fact that not only does she like Jane despite him being a troublemaker while she is a goody-two-shoes, but she also will have to come to terms with the fact that she wants him in ways she never would have imagined. Patrick, on the other hand, knows he wants Samantha and plans to give her an experience she will never forget, as Patrick is the only one who can see through Samantha and reach those parts of her that she has never let anyone else ever touch or see. Through his stereotypical troublemaking antics, hypnosis, and charm, Patrick will be able to demonstrate to Samantha both his devotion and his need for her in his life. Now, let the chase begin.

Summary
When Teresa Lisbon arrives at the Seabreeze Palms Hotel & Spa she's dragging her heels, not ready to surrender to her enforced time off. She should be in Sacramento putting bad guys away but instead she's in San Diego "recovering" from a pursuit that went wrong.
She's not expecting to meet Patrick Jane, a high school teacher with eyes as blue as the ocean, and his daughter, Charlotte who make the week go by in a flash.
Maybe a dalliance by the sea doesn't have to be restrained to the romance novel she's reading.
A Jisbon AU - Jane and Lisbon are in their early forties and Charlotte is eighteen.

Summary
Loosely based on season 4—diverging away from the Las Vegas plot-point.
Four Acts:
Dusk—Blindspots and recalculating
Midnight—Red John
Twilight— Descend and healing
Dawn—Jisbon(It was pointed out to me that diverging away from the Las Vegas plot point was a poor explanation. The Lorelei event in 4x24 doesn't happen)
Editing: 0/30

Summary
With his first wife, Jane had no concept of what it would be like to lose everything. Now that he knows that pain, he clings all the tighter. It's complicated. His thoughts about Lisbon range from acceptable to physically impossible. He wants to put a ring on her finger. He wants to bring her flowers. He wants to read her mind. He wants to violate the principle of impenetrability and occupy the same space as her. If he could carry her with him everywhere he goes, maybe that would be enough to soothe his battered and ruined heart.

Summary
“So I had an idea.” Three groans immediately meet his ears. “It’s nothing illegal or even on the gray side of the law.” He quickly tries to reassure but when he is met with disbelieving faces he turns to look at Lisbon. His last hope, despite the fact that she's angry with him she’s always trusted him.
Her firm look immediately softens as she says, “Guys let’s hear him out.” Turning back to him she gives him a small nod to continue.
“I think we should start a private investigation firm.”
aka What if the plan to get Lisbon her job back had failed and the team was fired? What would become of them? How would Jane get his revenge without their help, without the help of the CBI? Without Lisbon?

Summary
After being tortured and turned by the prolific serial killer Red John, Patrick Jane becomes the Covert Bureau of Supernatural Investigations' first vampire consultant. Teresa Lisbon is a woman who attracts death at every turn. And despite her distrust in the undead, the former conman turned walking corpse might just be the very thing she needs to bring Red John to justice -- but how many humans and strange folk will end up dead before then?

Because death comes for them all, eventually. And no one walks away unchanged.

Summary
For Teresa Lisbon, the discovery of her pregnancy was anything but peaceful.
It happened amidst the whirlwind of capturing a serial killer, organizing a wedding reception she felt obligated to have, and the ever-present ghost of Patrick Jane's abandonment that always haunted her.
The journey to gather the courage to tell him the news was a solitary and turbulent one, turning her into a mess of tears and hormones, at the mercy of a rollercoaster of conflicting emotions.
or
What if, after the video call with Van Pelt and Rigsby, Teresa Lisbon's count wasn't about the number of wedding guests?Series

Summary
Two years had been a long time.
He had spent months on end in paradise. Every day was survived by sunsets on the beach with the sand between his toes and the soft breeze to soothe him awake in the early mornings. And it had been nice. Yet each smile that had contently graced his face had faltered in those moments when he saw the spot beside him, vacant of her.
How did Lisbon and Jane handle his return from South America? What didn't we see in the show and what if... what if... what if.
Here's my take.Post Season 6, Episode 10.

Summary
He turned and walked away “See ya around Lisbon”
"Jane got in his car ignoring the last buzz of alcohol flowing through his veins and drove off.
Eager to put some distance between them. He wasn’t expecting it to feel so difficult, to walk away from her. That every fiber in his body told him that he was better, stronger with Lisbon at his side backing his play.""There won’t be another smiley face added to his conscience. He pushed down on the gas willing the car to go even faster."
This story explores the idea of Patrick Jane driven to the brink, were he feels that death, is his only way forward. Set some time after 6x01/02 and goes completely AU after.
