Erica Whitler is a recent collage graduate who all the proffesors hold in their highest regards. But is she good enough for the BAU? Does she meet Hotch's standards? And what is her connection to the team itself? (A/N Forgive me if I make a mistake, I'd only watched up to season four when I started this. Criminal Minds is one of my favourite tv shows of all time so I hope I do this amazing show the justice it deserves. Also, I will be fixing spelling mistakes and other errors as I find them so a chapter may show up more than once when I'm editing. Be warned.)

[WINNER OF BEST UNFINISHED FANFICTION IN THE MENTALIST FANFICTION AWARDS 2014!!] "Whatever her faults were, Teresa Lisbon was a good person. That's why she'd written those letters, sixteen of them, to be read each year on Lucy's birthday." When a passion-filled night with Patrick Jane leaves her pregnant, Teresa Lisbon is scared that the secret she's harboring could put her daughter in danger. So, despite Jane's best efforts to make her stay, she leaves soon after her daughter, Lucy, is born. She entrusts Jane with the task of reading sixteen letters, on each year, on Lucy's birthday. Will Jane & Lisbon ever reunite? Or will Lucy live with the fact that the only things she has from her mother are sixteen letters?

Theirs was never a girlfriend-boyfriend relationship. And when Jane gets another letter from RJ,will he be able to keep his angel safe? Read and find out!

Truthfully she was far from 'all right,' but she would never admit to it. A few hours ago her consultant, Patrick Jane, not only killed the serial killer Red John, but also made love to her in the department issue vehicle. Now he sat in a holding cell.

So my neighbor/buddy, @Razzl3, and I are making a series of one-shots based on our favorite show, The Mentalist. We have a list of twenty words, and we just gotta write whatever we think of so we can compare afterwards... so check mine out, check hers out, ... and most of all, enjoy!

A (The Mentalist) one-shot based on the sarcastic, expressionless and much loved, Kimball Cho.

Lisbon promised herself she would never use alcohol to numb pain but she breaks down and it leads to her and Jane playing a drunken game of truth or dare. Little does she know, this simple game reveals feelings she'd kept hidden and leaves her wondering if any of it was real, or if it was just a game of truth or dare...

Teresa and Jane have to take "Trust Classes" I don't own The Mentalist!
