Idanhide bio
 Author has written 80 stories for Mentalist. I'm a writer/editor/webmaster/all-around small-staff geek in the metro DC area who, in my limited spare time, is obsessed with The Mentalist. I read fanfic a lot in the late 90s but was never inspired to write any until Crimson Hat sent me in search of a fanfic community. So I will always be very grateful to the show for opening a new world—and what a wonderful world it is! I'm an introvert and crazy-cat-lady-in-training, with the stereotypical geek love of all things sci-fi. But I also love strong female characters and puzzle-solving, so The Mentalist has diversified my TV watching. If you are interested in checking out my original work, I’ve begun publishing on Wattpad under the name Anna I. Berg with my novel Wayfarers. |

"It annoyed Jane that with all his knowledge of her and skill (though admittedly rusty) at seduction, he couldn't win this contest hands down. It should never have been a contest in the first place, he felt."

The Gift reviews
Tag to Black Helicopters. "Jane was practically picking her up out of her chair and forcing her into her jacket, so she cooperated. It was easier than arguing with him. 'I'm going to cook you dinner,' he announced, to her shock."

Rejoicing reviews
Holiday fluff, set in the "Re" universe of stories (Redemption, Regret, Repentance, and Recovery). If you don't know who Bear is, you will probably be confused.

Deception reviews
Another angle on the spoilers for episode 15 or 16. Lisbon finds there can be benefits to deceiving people—but also a price. This is a little out there for me, and mind the M rating, please.

Choices reviews
Jane makes a choice. So Lisbon has to make one too. Based on spoilers for the rest of the season, but I doubt my interpretation will come to pass.

Takes place during Green Thumb. "We are involved, but not in any way Fischer would understand." Just a short peek into Lisbon's thoughts. Chapter 2 with Jane's POV now added.

Happiness, Rediscovered reviews
"Suddenly he was struck with the truth of his situation: his past wasn't just holding him captive. It had also imprisoned Lisbon, dooming her to a wait for something she was losing hope would ever happen. And now he didn't have the excuse of his revenge, or of putting her in danger. What was he waiting for?"

Second Hand reviews
Follow up to In the Cards. It's not necessary to read that first, though this will definitely spoil that one if you haven't. Patrick Jane finds it's not always easy getting back to normal after a tough case.

Impressions reviews
Spoilers for My Blue Heaven and the promo for Green Thumb. Little sketches from various points of view, just some random thoughts I had after the episode.

Orange Magic reviews
After Las Vegas, Jane tries to put his relationship with Lisbon back on solid ground in his own inimitable way. Citrus-scented Jisbon fluff with a side of silliness. Minor spoilers for season 5, then speculation about the upcoming reunion.

Recovery reviews
Follow up to Repentance, so you'll want to read Redemption, Regret, and Repentance first (they go in that order). This is more or less AU at this point but started out based on spoilers for My Blue Heaven. "She'd been back in Sacramento for a week, and she already wanted to kill him."

Redemption reviews
Tag to Red John/prequel to my story Regret. Spoilers for the end of the episode. "He couldn't give her the happy ending she'd longed for, but he could at least give her a fighting chance at a new life in which she could find peace, perhaps even happiness."

Wedding Planning reviews
Follow up to Wedding in Red, which felt really unfinished to me. Jane and Lisbon talk about weddings. Hypothetically, of course. Or so Lisbon thinks.

Repentance reviews
Follow up to Regret, so includes spoilers for My Blue Heaven. You do need to read Regret first or you'll be lost. "Repentance?" she echoed. "For which sins?" "You know better than I," he said softly. "They were all against you."

Regret reviews
Inspired by the TV Guide post-RJ spoilers. Don't read if you're staying spoiler free! Lisbon reflects on the nature of regret. Not as depressing as it sounds, I promise!

Facing Facts reviews
Set during 6x2,so spoilers for that. "Red John had taken more than one happy memory away from him. Lisbon's face had long been a source of comfort—perhaps his greatest comfort. Now every time he looked at her, he saw the afterimage of the killer's mark. And yet he couldn't stop looking."

In the Cards reviews
NOW COMPLETE! Jane teases Lisbon about her poker skills, which leads to a conversation that surprises them both, spirals into plots and counter-plots, and leaves them facing a dilemma they never imagined, but might secretly want. Minor spoilers for early season 5, but goes AU from there. Thanks to phoenixx87 for the cover!

Predictable reviews

Carded reviews
Lisbon receives unexpected—and unwanted—congratulations on bringing down Volker. Despite the title, this has nothing to do with my other fic "In the Cards," I'm just not that creative when it comes to titles. Friendship with the barest hint of more.
