Summary
Jane's way of finding peace was to find things or places which grounded him. The ocean was one of them. His journey starts with a little flower interlude in San Felix (4x05) and travels across the Venezuelan Island (6x09) and the Blue Bird (6x22) and beyond.
It is a path starting from the roaring waves of Californian and Venezuelan shorelines and finally ending near the stillness of the pond in Austin. It is a story of Jane learning to heal from his wounds, until he finally finds true happiness.

Summary
“Oh, come on, Lisbon, you’re perfect,” Jane says, cutting off whatever ignoble protest had been blooming on her tongue. “A pair of strappy heels, a little lipstick —”
“I’m gonna kill you, Jane,” Lisbon says sharply, and he laughs in that unserious, unbothered way that is almost always in response to Lisbon being very serious and very bothered.
The others are already talking surveillance, transport, operational budget; as if she hasn't just been handed the most asinine, unprofessional, degrading assignment she can possibly imagine.
“But it’s…” Lisbon says, to nobody in particular. “It’s a Tuesday.”
“Yes, Agent. And the pageant begins on Friday. Your undercover training starts as soon as you sign these, please. Congratulations, Miss CBI."

Summary
Jane had forgotten how vibrant the world could be.
How all the shapes could be sharper and more colourful. How full of life every frame of vision could be.
He had forgotten how to feel alive.

Summary
“Lisbon,” He begins, his voice cracks a bit, and he reminds himself he's meant to be the sober voice of reason, ironically. “You're feeling unwell and likely frustrated. You've had a long night and-”
“Hush!” She protests and proceeds to press herself up against him as if it's no big thing.

Summary
His right eye cracked open first, groaning at the sunlight pouring through the bare window. The left followed, pulling a figure into focus – a woman standing at his bedside, haloed in gold like the sun itself had chosen her. An incandescent spotlight.
Dark hair spilling loose, long and wavy. Fine-boned features with a hint of elfin, like she belonged half to this world and half to a storybook. A bowed mouth shaped like it had secrets worth keeping, and wide doe eyes men braver than him might gladly fight and die for.
“Mister Jane?”
Awfully formal even for a one night stand.
“Did we… sleep together?”
“What? No!” Her indignation hitched sharp, umbrage written plain enough that even through the fog in his head, he felt the sting.OR the one where Jane needs a bodyguard.

Summary
being a serial killer? That takes a different kind of person, let alone to get away with it so easily, but Red Joy is not just anyone, he’s not just another name in a file. He’s one of the most prolific, most terrifying serial killers in U.S. history. Probably in the world. More feared than Bundy, more hated than Dahmer, maybe even more infamous than the Zodiac.
But like any serial killer, he is still a man of flesh and blood, a fellow citizen in the world, who has a life, a job, and a name, Patrick Jane.
But this story is not about Patrick Jane or Red Joy, this story is about me.
His first and only victim
Who wasn’t found, wasn’t investigated, wasn’t killed. Not physically, anyway. The first life he didn’t take by force—he simply took it over.
This is how he killed me without ever laying a hand on me
My name is Percy Evans, and this is the story of how Red Joy took my life and made it his.

Summary
It all started with a legendary hangover and a stupid bet. To alleviate the boredom at work, the CBI (and later, FBI) team creates a morbid bingo game: tracking crimes committed by men dressed as Santa Claus. What was meant to be a passing joke turns into a years-long tradition, an absurd constant that survives city moves, career changes, relationships, and even the growth of their own families.

Summary
Patrice Jane es una mujer inteligente, astuta y con un sentido del humor tan irónico como problemático. Se ha hecho famosa como falsa mentalista, utilizando su “don” —una elaborada estafa basada en su aguda observación y perspicacia para los detalles— para engañar al público. Pero todo cambió cuando se burló de Red John: él asesinó en venganza a su esposo y a su pequeña hija, Charlotte.
Ahora, Patrice trabaja como consultora para el CBI, junto a su jefe de unidad, Terrence Lisbon, un hombre coherente, ordenado, fuerte y protector, cuya fe en Dios le resulta incomprensible a Patrice. En el equipo también están la inexpresiva agente Ming Cho, la coqueta agente Willow Rigsby y el inseguro, recién incorporado agente Gregory Van Pelt. -

Rewrite after episode 6x08
McAllister wasn't Red John after all.
The real Red John has captured Jane, keeps him a prisoner and has some agenda.
So it's Patrick Jane/Red John but the identity of Red John is unknown.
Tags are for the whole story, as far as I have written. Some tags will be relevant for later chapters.

Summary
In the past she was grateful that she could sneak away from crime scenes or the office. When that nasty case of the flu had hit, she had the washroom on the second floor all to herself. She knew that she could go home and draw a bath, licking her wounds and tending to her aches and pains in secret. Until Patrick Jane came to her life.
