Teresa Lisbon Over 21 Years by not_as_we (NC-17)

Okay! After a week of getting-to-know-you/case!fic/team-dynamics fics, let's move onto the other stuff (*cough*porn and angst).

Fandom: THE MENTALIST
Pairing: Jane/Lisbon
Length: 1544
Author on LJ: not_as_we 
Author Website: LJ masterlist here
Why this must be read:  Personally, I have a lot of trouble buying Jane/Lisbon as a ship in the current time frame. By which I mean, I think they'd make a completely indomitable couple in the future, but given Jane's emotional healing (or lack thereof) currently, it takes a lot to make me believe either one of them would choose to initiate something.

This fic makes me believe it. It's short, lyrical, and just as much a character study of Lisbon (and Jane/Lisbon) as it is a hot slice of het.

[Please note that the actual ficlet is untitled. I chose to refer to it as "Teresa Lisbon Over 21 Years" based on the author's summary and for ease of rec'ing.]

How frail the human heart must be - a mirrored pool of thought.
