Well, it was very much nick-of-time stuff, but I managed to finish it!
Here is my fic for the
casestory bigbang - I hope next year I'll be able to write up a more complex mystery... this one seemed a little too simple and obvious to me - but then, this time was hard enough!

TITLE: Still Life
FANDOM: In Plain Sight
AUTHOUR: TaleWeaver
DISCLAIMER: The characters of ‘In Plain Sight’ do not belong to me. No profit is made by this work, and no copyright infringement is intended.
RATING: R. Swearing, violence, sex scenes (consensual m/f) and references.
SPOILERS: Character backgrounds, up to and including season 5. Canon-compliant until the end of 5x07.
SUMMARY: (set post-series, now AU) For the first time in - well, ever, Mary Shannon is living the good life; she and Marshall are now a couple, Jinx and Brandi are actually taking care of themselves, and everything's quiet on the witness front - or it was. When a criminal one of her old witnesses put away looks to be released on appeal, Mary heads out to the Texas Gulf to warn the witness, only to find him vanished. Now Mary must find out what happened and why, and her only clue is the missing man’s photographs.
PROMPT: written for casestory BigBang.
AUTHOR NOTES: I started this before ‘All’s Well that Ends’ aired; I originally intended to re-write whatever parts were necessary to make it fully canon-compliant. However, given how the series finale completely and utterly screwed over not only me but the majority of the fans (and it wasn’t like they couldn’t have easily have made Marshall’s season 5 story arc, at least, more congruent with what happened in the finale), I have decided on another policy: 5x08 canon can suck it. Shit like that was why fanfiction was born in the first place.
LOCATION NOTES: Port Aransas, Texas, is a real place; however, I have taken some (read: considerable) license to fit my story. No offense is meant to it’s citizens, and all mistakes are my own fault.
Part One Part Two GUEST CAST
(a quick search through each actor’s IMDB entry will reveal how I named most of the characters... except for Lou the fisherman. He and his friend outside the cafe were named after Abbott and Costello)
Claire Fawkes.........................................................................................Shannon Kenny
(fans of Paul-Ben Victor’s previous work - and in my opinion, his best role - should know her!)
Jake Taggart ................................................................................ Christopher Gorham
Violet McCullough.................................................................................... Piper Perabo
Dominic Fischer.............................................................................. Nicholas Campbell
Lou......................................................................................................... Richard Donat
(while he doesn’t actually appear, his friend Bud was played by John Dunsworth)
