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.

Summary
"Jane."
In the darkness, Lisbon reached out, searching.
The cold bite of metal handcuffs startled her. And then she remembered where she was.
A hand beside her grabbed her wrist. Metal clinked.
"Is that you, Jane?" She couldn't see anything. Only breathing. Then arms—familiar, warm—wrapped around her.
"You can't keep me in here, Jane." Her voice trembled.
"It's safe here, Teresa. Don't worry." His voice sounded strange. But she could hear the smile in it. He thought he'd done it this time. "You're safe, Teresa. Don't leave here. Don't leave me. We'll stay here forever, okay?"
...
Jane woke from a dazed sleep. He had forgotten what day it was. All he remembered was opening that door. Seeing Lisbon. A blood-red smiling face staring back at him. His phone rang. A message appeared. Jane suddenly remembered what day it was.
Or: Something happened to Lisbon. In his devastation, Jane found himself thrown back in time. Things seemed different now. Did he have a chance to mend what was broken? To fix the mistakes and the relationship that went wrong?

JANE/LISBON. Set some time after season five episode, 'Red Sails in the Sunset'. Goes AU from there. Some minor spoilers.
