Five Times the Team Realised Jane Loved Lisbon, And One Time They Saw What That Meant by Word_Woven

Summary
Patrick Jane does not realise he is in love with Teresa Lisbon all at once.
He realises it in pieces: in tea made without asking, in a crooked tie fixed before an interview, in her voice cutting through the dark before he can drown in it. Lisbon realises it harder, after the apartment feels wrong without him in it and the silence starts to feel less like peace and more like absence.
The team notices after that.
Cho notices first, because of course he does. Van Pelt notices because Lisbon smiles differently. Rigsby notices last, dramatically and far too late for his dignity to survive intact.
But when an old enemy of Jane’s comes back with bodies, messages, and a plan designed to tear him apart, the team finally sees the truth beneath all the teasing, domesticity, and quiet office touches.
This was never casual.
Patrick Jane survived losing his wife once.
He would not survive losing Teresa Lisbon.

Summary
The thing about Patrick Jane was that he never did anything without a reason.
Or at least, that's what Teresa Lisbon had always believed.
She was starting to suspect she'd been wrong about that.

Summary
Six months after Patrick Jane walks away from the CBI, Teresa Lisbon gets the call she has been trying not to expect.
Jane is in Las Vegas. Arrested. Hurt. Refusing help.
Lisbon tells herself she is only going because someone has to make sure he is alive.
But Jane’s collapse is not as simple as it looks, and when Lisbon reaches him, the distance between them finally starts to crack.
A canon-divergent Season 4 finale rewrite about grief, loyalty, Red John’s shadow, and the terrifying danger of loving someone you cannot bear to lose.

Summary
She didn't even need to say anything, it was written all over her face, those beautiful sage eyes as wide as can be, as if she got caught doing something she shouldn't.
He quickly recomposed himself, brushing it off playfully, telling them to have fun.
But as he watched them head to the elevator, Lisbon looking so into it, so interested, something very heavy sank into his core. Bile rose up to his throat, seeing that shy smile of hers directed towards someone else. Mr Art Attack over there made him feel like a rabid animal trapped in a cage.

What would've happened if, instead of pretending like nothing was wrong when clearly his heart was breaking, Jane didn't just... say what he wanted to say?
A little what-if short story set during Silver Wings Of Time (s06e17), following what happened after Violets.

Summary
Maybe he thinks it’s okay to joke about, now that they know she doesn’t have a hole in her brain. “Not funny, Jane.”
Oh, no. His forehead shifts, undulates, produces a frown. No, please, no. “Don’t look at me like that, I don’t set their opening hours.”
Panic rises in her throat. “It’s Thursday,” she says. “Yesterday was Wednesday and today is Thursday.”
Teresa Lisbon gets stuck in a time loop.
