Why this must be read:

First off, mswyrr has an absolutely gorgeous, lyrical style. Reading her fics almost feels, to me, like reading poetry. Only without all those worries about stanzas and rhythm and such.

Secondly, she honestly just nails Lisbon's character. This fic takes place after the season 2 finale, and focuses on Lisbon focusing on Jane and his reaction to events. However, no real details of the finale are given, so those unfamiliar with the show and/or fearing spoilers should also feel free to read.

Thirdly, there's a purple blanket involved. A zebra print one.

Go check it out! And remember, comments = love.

When Teresa was seven years old, she'd found a hummingbird.
