90The Story of Us »
Life has a way of making you take back some of the things you say or at least making you regret that you opened your big fat mouth to say certain things. Established Steph/Ranger. (These are more a series of short(er) vignettes than actual stories. They do take place sequentially and they do, sort of, tell an overall story. There are more, but no set posting schedule.)Janet Evanovich, T, English, Romance & Family, chapters: 4, words: 16k+, favs: 25, follows: 47, updated: 5/25 published: 10/21/2024, [Ranger M., Stephanie P.]

The Other Other Woman
Angsty, no HEA, death of a major character. Down the road in time and everyone is living with the choices they made. More post-Book 31 angst.Janet Evanovich, T, English, Angst, words: 3k+, favs: 12, follows: 11, 5/3, Ranger M., Stephanie P.
23 The Talk
What would it be like to grow up the child of Rangeman? Hmmm. 1,000 word "palate cleanser." Short future fic, established Steph and Ranger.Janet Evanovich, T, English, Family, words: 1k+, favs: 10, follows: 10, 3/21, Ranger M., Stephanie P.
27 Sea Cruise
What could be more romantic than a sea cruise? Lots of stuff, apparently, especially when your entire family is there with you. This is not particularly plot-driven, it's just fluff to help get my S/R mojo back, a whole lotta setup and Steph introspection (something she is not famous for) for not that many paragraphs of payoff.Janet Evanovich, T, English, Romance, words: 6k+, favs: 16, follows: 8, 3/8, [Stephanie P., Ranger M.]
14 Hearts
Sometimes hearts live on. WARNING: this is a death story, a major character has died. Written as a 1,000 word challenge to myself, which I more-or-less hit. I wrote this on the 12th anniversary of my own cornea transplant surgery, to honor the kind person who donated their corneas at death that I might see: I'd be functionally blind otherwise.Janet Evanovich, T, English, Angst & Tragedy, words: 1k+, favs: 7, follows: 3, 2/19, Ranger M., Stephanie P., Tank

65 The Push And The Pull »
In the books, Joe says to Stephanie, many times, that she doesn't know who Ranger really is, saying that he is a gun runner, a mercenary and many other things. Maybe Joe knows something she doesn't. This is a much more "covert ops" Ranger. Also a braver Steph, one who knows what she wants, than we've ever seen in the books.Janet Evanovich, T, English, Drama & Romance, chapters: 2, words: 6k+, favs: 37, follows: 36, updated: 11/28/2024 published: 11/24/2024, Ranger M., Stephanie P.

A "What if" Steph had been pregnant in Book 31. Angsty, no HEA, not Babe.
