Medium: TV
Fandom: Rizzoli & Isles
Subject: Jane Rizzoli/Maura Isles
Title: Ask My Girl to Dance
Warnings: Angst
Notes: Jane is in love with Maura. Maura is in love with Jane. They both think it’s unrequited. Angst all-around. I left it open about which song is from whose point-of-view. Interpret things how you will. Also, I hate using the same artist more than once in a mix. But Bright Eyes has so many fitting lyrics.

III. miserable at best || mayday parade
so let's not pretend like you're alone tonight

IV. ship in a bottle || bright eyes
i wanna be the surgeon that cuts you open
and fixes all of life's mistakes
i wanna be the house that you were raised in
the only place that you feel safe
i wanna be your shower in the morning
that wakes you up and makes you clean
i know i'm just the weather against your window
as you sleep through a winter's dream

V. who am i to say || hope
love of my life, my soulmate
you're my best friend

and who am i to say you need me
