Here we have The Chief Medical Examiner of the Common Wealth of Massachusetts, Dr. Maura Dorthea Isles.
HOLD UP, I already thought that shirt/look looked familiar
I'll go with Sasha's dream episode. Rizzles stuck someplace together (in winter) au!
you would lol
"I’m cold."
Hours slowly passed in the cramped confines of their seats, but they’re too close to the perp’s location to chance him hearing their running car. Instead, they started the night with quiet conversations about work and Maura’s favorite recipes, a game of rock-paper-scissors about whom would get the only pair of gloves, and Maura using the dashboard for her to-do list made of sticky notes.
However, things got really boring, really quickly, leaving Jane to see how many time she could pop her chewing gum before Maura popped, and Maura wondering why she voluntarily offered to do this.
Managing to twist around in her many layers, Jane pulls off one of the blankets wrapped around her and tosses it to Maura in the passenger seat.
Maura smiles in response as she adds it to her collection of layers (which may or may not be already five times more coverage than Jane has), and burrows down further in her seat.
Looking to Jane’s profile, barely outlined by the little moon light filtering in through the clouds, Maura wants nothing more than to take her tired friend/lover/something indefinitely more home—either of their homes, because as long as she’s next to Maura, it doesn’t matter if the mattress is slightly less than luxurious—and let her get the sleep she so rightfully deserves.
Instead, she pulls one of the earbuds from her ear and holds it out to Jane.
Jane smirks. “Yo-Yo Ma?”
"I told you I don’t listen to Yo-Yo Ma," Maura refutes, though her lips turn up ever so slightly. "In public."
"Your secret’s safe with me," Jane replies. She reaches out to take the earbud, but then hesitate as she looks out the windshield before back to Maura. "I shouldn’t."
"I understand." Pulling out both earpieces and dropping them into the cup holder, Maura turns in her seat so that she’s facing Jane completely. "Do you really think he’s guilty?"
Jane sighs. “I don’t know.”
"Then why are we here?"
"I don’t know." Jane drops her head back against the headrest and pinches the bridge of her nose. "This case is shit. For the first time, I…I really think I’m in over my head here."
Silence envelops them for long moments. Realizing Jane isn’t going to brush the admission off like she usually does, Maura reaches out and squeezes Jane’s bare hand in her own. “You’ll figure it out, Jane. You always do.”
"You do until you don’t," Jane replies, wryly smiling.
Jane finally manages to open her eyes and turn to face the other woman. Golden strands of hair stick out from under a knitted winter hat that’s haphazardly pulled onto her head, faint circles are beginning to form under her eyes, and her chin trembles as she tries to fight off another shiver.
In other words, she’s really damn adorable and only made even more adorable by the fact that she’s here, voluntarily, at four in the morning, freezing her ass off just because she wants to be. Just because she loves Jane as much as Jane loves her.
Jane gives the smaller hand in hers a slight squeeze before releasing it, though she really wants to do so much more. There’s a time and place for that, though, and a undercover stakeout really isn’t it.
Instead, she asks, “Whaddya say we crack into those donuts?”
"Do you know how much sugar are in those?"
Twisting in her seat, Jane grabs the box of donuts from the backseat and plops them in her lap. When she opens it, the sent of sugar and sinfully sweet goodness fills the car. She picks up the lone donut in the middle, Maura’s favorite kind, and brings it up mere inches from her face. “I guess that just means I get this chocolate-covered sprinkled one all to myself—”
Maura instantly leans over the center console and attempts to get it from Jane’s taunting, flailing grasp. “I didn’t—Jane Rizzoli!—I did not say that.”
Finally winning it back, Maura bites into it, leaving remnants of chocolate in the corners of her grinning mouth.
There’s a time and a place for girlfriend things and work things, and Jane knows, without a doubt, which one this is.
She doesn’t hesitate to lean forward and press her lips against Maura’s own, briefly, but long enough to feel their softness and warmth and familiarity that’s somehow newer, different each and every time they kiss.
Jane pulls back, smiling as she recognizes the slightly stunned, but most definitely pleased look on Maura’s face.
But what can she say?
Maura flavored chocolate has always been her favorite.

#because how dare they try to be realistic about the world #because obviously every show must be about white straight rich thin dudes doing white straight male stuff #how dare they acknowledge the existence of different people all at once#because in real life we never see a black man and a transexual at the same place#too much diversity #the universe says #we will never find an asian american woman and a gay man at the same place #one of them must get out so the other can get in #it’s one of the laws of nature #elementary is trying too hard to be inclusive#that’s why i don’t like it #because how dare they write women that don’t apply to the box mother/girlfriend/sisters/villain #how dare they be creative about these characters #unnacceptable #i’ll stick to my shows that are moderately inclusive#that keeps me more comfortable to continue being a piece of shit

Thank you, my lovely grey-face! *hugs*
I think it might be a natural process to team up with your 'less potent' enemy to oust your 'more potent' one. So, if team Faberry is helping team Swan Queen, they are doing so to make sure that team Swan Queen makes it to the finals, and in turn makes it easier for them to win! (And this is purely a theory - a logical one, but still totally a theory!)
I don't think the Rizzles fandom is refraining from voting - we have been voting religiously and hence had a respectable lead for a while. Things took a sharp turn today and if Faberry are really helping the Swan Queen nation, then we gotta vote more vigorously and as often as possible!
Let's keep it fun guise - like our lovely Anon here has said. Let's give it our best shot and see what happens. Let's not embrace hatred and make it sad. Because at the end, the only WIN will be if our ship becomes Canon. *le sigh*
