Ever wonder what the first holiday was like that Maura spent with the Rizzoli's? I thought it'd be fun to explore that a little, so here it is: when Maura is still relatively new to BPD, Jane thinks it would be an act of good cheer to invite the lonely doc over for some Christmas festivities. Silly Rizzles Christmas fluff. *EPILOGUE posted! ... finally...

1945 noir AU. "When Maura Isles walked into my office, I knew three things right away: she came from a family wealthy enough to own a private island, she could turn heads faster than a struck match could make fire, and she was almost certainly the woman who had tried slipping a gorgeously manicured hand inside my pants in the back of a taxicab three weeks ago."

An AU set in the Old West. Why? Because I want to know how a proper, aspiring female doctor would react to a driven, hard-as-nails woman on the range. They don't know it yet, but Maura's fiancee just met his match.
