Rizzles fanfic, fluff, admitting feelings
Rizzles fanfic, just a little something, no warnings apply, just a lot of thinking on Janes part
Jane gets hurt on a case and Maura is acting distant. Jane has a lot to think about and a visit to Mauras house reveals a lot of things.
Jane sitting in a hospital bed, absolutely annoyed by the fact that she has to be here and that not just Korsak and Frost made her come here but mostly that Maura had basically pushed her in the ambulance.
Yes, Jane had been shot but it had hit her vest. Literally nothing had happened. She was gonna have a big fat bruise and nothing more.
There was no reason to stress out about this little incident. Jane had expected it from Korsak and Frost, make her follow protocol and all that but Maura normally at least gave her a chance to try ans talk herself out if it.
More often than not Maura made her go to the hospital, get checked out even when Maura already knew everything was fine. She just cared a lot. But she also always gave Jane the benefit of the doubt and let her go a few hours before going to the hospital.
Today was different somehow. They went in to apprehend a suspect, they knew very well that the suspect would be armed and Jane knew the risk of going into the room first. Of course the take down didn’t go as planned and Jane got a bullet straight to her chest. Good thing she was wearing the vest.
It wasn’t even hard enough to knock her out or anything. Just a second after she fired at him, disarming him and arresting him with the help of the boys. Everything was alright and nothing big happened.
But over the last few weeks, well maybe months, Maura had been acting a bit different. At first Jane had written it off as Maura being Maura. Maura was just special and Jane loved that about her. So it wasn’t that weird for her to be a bit different than normal.
When it just didn’t stop with the little things Jane had to start thinking about it. She thought that maybe she had done something wrong. So Jane actually went to Mauras damn yoga class with her. Jane brought flowers whenever she went over to Mauras place. Jane actually tried to cook something healthy when Maura came over to visit her.
Jane has tried everything she could think of to make whatever was going on go away again. But Maura continued to act different. Their banter didn’t feel the same and somehow there was always tension whenever they were in each others space.
Maura had even thrown Jane out of the morgue some days because apparently Jane was distracting and Maura needed to focus.
Their nights together on each others couches ended more often than not with Maura leaning against Jane but never talking and then suddenly scooting away again. Like something in Janes demeanor or in Mauras head made her want to get away.
And now Maura basically pushed her in the ambulance. She didn’t even drive with her in the ambulance. Normally Maura would let her credentials and medical degree play and make people let her in the ambulance. Not once leaving Jane alone.
Now apparently there was no reason anymore not to leave Jane alone. Maura had pushed her away again and again and again and Jane didn’t understand why.
Maura was always so close to her and so worried and she still looked so worried, maybe even more so. Maura was as worried as ever and yet she acted so differently around Jane.
The doctors had taken some X-rays and checked if there were any signs of internal damage and obviously found nothing. So Jane was just sitting here waiting to be discharged.
The only person Jane wanted to see was Maura and Maura wasn’t here. Korsak had told her that Maira went straight to the lab got them the last pieces of the puzzle and went home.
Once Jane was discharged she got a cab to Mauras place. Jane was fuming. Jane was sad. Jane had no idea why she was so hurt by Mauras actions. Jane had no idea why Maira was acting that way. It irritated her not to know what was going on.
When Jane finally rang the bell she felt like running away. Maybe Mauras approach to whatever was going on was the right one. Just run away and worry later. But it was too late to run. Maura had already opened the door.
Red puffy eyes, wearing one of Janes old red sox sweatshirts and standing there in front of Jane with her hair messily down and her sleep shorts on.
She looked horrible. Well Maura was always beautiful and there was nothing more beautiful than the Maura that Jane got to see but with the red puffy eyes from crying she looked horrible. She looked horrible because she had been sad and Jane hated to see Maura like that.
„Jane, what are you doing here?“
„You didn’t come to the hospital.“ was Janes dumb reply, not knowing what to say and or what to talk about. With Maura having cried it felt wrong to confront her about something.
„I'm sorry Jane. Do you want to come in?“ Maura asked and already walked into her house, she just knew that Jane would follow. That Jane would always follow her and Jane knew it too. She would follow Maura everywhere.
„Maur, what's up with you lately?“ Jane finally asked after having closed the door and putting her jacket on the kitchen counter. Already walking over to where Maura was standing, ready to hug her if she wanted that.
„Nothing is up with me lately.“ She shot back, Jane was a bit taken back by her reaction but now also knew that there definitely was something going on.
„Maur, I know you. You’ve been so distant lately. I miss my best friend.“ Jane replied.
Maura took a deep breathe before walking towards Jane. Closing the rest of the distance between them. Jane was confused. She had no idea what it all meant.
„Jane, I'm sorry that I‘ve been distant but you are more than a friend to me. Lately it has been hard just to be your friend.“ Maura said.
And that was when it clicked for Jane. The cuddle sessions. The way they relied on one another. The way they trusted each other more than anyone. The way they were the talk of the department. The way it all had been true all along.
Maura wasn’t pushing her away because she disliked her or because Jane had done something. Maura was in love with her. Jane was distracting her. Jane was making her worry each and every day of their lives because she always risked her life for the people around her, not caring whether or not she came out alive.
When Jane was shot today Maura pushed her to get checked out because she cared so much, because she had been scared that Jane was gone forever and she couldn’t face her because then her facade had broken down.
Maura loved Jane and if Jane was honest with herself she loved her as well. Maura was the one person Jane wanted to do everything with and for. Jane loved every little thing and quirk about Maura. Jane didn’t just love her like a friend, not like a best friend, she loved her more than that.
Jane loved Maura as well. There was nobody she would do so much for. There was nobody she would rather have in her life. She wanted Maura in her life forever and always. And so far she hadn’t cared as what but now, now she wanted more.
„Maur, why didn’t you tell me?“ Jane dumbly asked. Not admitting her own feelings.
„Because I was and am afraid to lose you.“ Maura stated the obvious.
„You will never lose me. Maur, there is no one I would rather spend my life with than you.“ Jane admitted. Not saying her feelings out loud but making it clear what it meant. Making it clear that there was no need to worry because she felt the same thing.
And with that Maura closed the last rest of the distance. Softly kissing Jane.

11/15 attachment bc i still love it sm
OMG Attachment!! Honestly people reading such old works makes me light up inside, as if I were a very cheery nightlight. So fucking lovely and I love y'all so much, for real.
11: What do you like best about this fic? I really loved the character work. I really loved exploring who this Maura would be, one who was forced to open her heart so big under such horrible circumstances. We so often see her heart opened slowly and painstakingly by Jane, so a Maura who was blasted open by a toddler over the course of 10 days or whatever it was--that was so interesting and compelling to me. I was fascinated by her, and I love her so much.
15: What did you learn from writing this fic? God, I learned SO MUCH from writing this fic. This was the first fic I wrote that I was so proud of, that I really loved, that I thought was legit good. So I learned a massive amount from it. I learned how to finish a fic, even if it was years later. I learned that sometimes an idea that is overwhelming and Too Big can work if you commit to it and ignore the fact that you have to make up a bunch of shit. I learned about character work, and how to write long, quiet moments of longing, which is one of my very favorite things to write. I think I'm known now for writing stuff that's funny, or absurd even in sadness, and Attachment wasn't that. It's bleak af, honestly, and I learned that I can do that, and also that pure angst stories aren't usually what makes me excited to write. But I don't know that I'd have learned how to infuse that darkness and pain and longing into lighter stories without having gone through Attachment, and that's what I want to do. I want to write (mostly) romcoms that unexpectedly make you ugly sob at the worst moments, so I had to learn the ugly-sob-inducing shit somewhere, and I started that with Attachment.

Did I just find a 40k 25 chapter long rizzles fic to read at 20 to 1 in the morning? Of course I did.
Likely hood of me not going to sleep tonight and reading the whole thing? 100% I can't help it that I'm a sucker for a 'theres only one bed and we're stuck in a snow storm' fic.

Finally got through the first season of Supergirl and made it to Lena Luthor's arrival.
Listen, as far as first impressions go, it's not QUITE Maura Isles pops Jane Rizzoli's broken nose back into place while they make outrageously homosexual eye contact, but that saucy little "you could've fooled me"? I get it. I get it, Supercorp shippers.

I keep forgetting Jack exists in the bridge jump era of Rizzoli and Isles. He is literally so extraneous.

Not my gay ass becoming utterly obsessed with Rizzles in 2023 - I mean, this kind of queerbaiting is torturous 😭

Hello! I'm looking for a Rizzles fic. Only part I remember is Jane is at Maura's after a panic attack and Maura makes her do things like change her sweaty clothes etc before she'll let her get in the bed. Jane gets annoyed and then realizes Maura was annoying her on purpose to make her focus on something other than being afraid. Many thanks!
Fandom: Rizzoli & Isles
Pairing: Maura Isles/Jane Rizzoli
Please, help us find this fic! Leave your suggestions in the comments. Thank you! 🙏😊
Edit: this fic has been found. Thank you, @iamcluless . It's not on ao3, but on fanfiction . net.
It's "The List" by AngieB628.

They’re getting ready for bed when Maura speaks up.
“Do you really think I’m not maternal?”
Jane blinks, toothbrush frozen against her back molars as she meets her girlfriend’s gaze in the bathroom mirror. Maura’s arms are folded over her chest, and she’s got on Jane’s favorite nightgown and robe combination, a pale blue floral set that went well with Maura’s blonde hair. But she’s frowning, expression clouded, and Jane slowly extracts the toothbrush from her mouth, spitting toothpaste in the sink.
(or, a season two au in which jane and maura try for a baby. chapter one.)
