Smoke Gets In Your Eyes, by
pensive1. The Mentalist. Gen. Jane + Lance Burton.
Which is a sequel to
The Great Escape, which I'm not sure if I recced, and if I haven't, I suck. Both take place in the Vegas AU portion in my
Four Things That Never Happened To Patrick Jane.
I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE TO BEGIN. ONLY THAT BOTH FICS ARE SWEET PERFECTION, ESPECIALLY THE SECOND ONE. Just, omg, the dead-on characterization, of both Jane and Burton, and okay, so neither of us knows Lance Burton beyond what he presents, but it's like, the way she extrapolates him. IT IS EXACTLY THE WAY HE OUGHT TO BE. And Jane is just... PERFECT. That's JANE.
NGH.
