AU on when Steph met Ranger, back before she began working for Vinnie, and before he began Rangeman Trenton. A "what might have been" story; completely AU but lots of elements of their backgrounds and lives will come through.

30 Best I can do
A little one shot about the true nature of the Stephanie/Ranger/Joe triangle. Not Babe or Cupcake. No hea. Just an exploration of an idea.

131 Epiphany »
Stephanie has an epiphany after the closet-sex scene in Explosive Eighteen. A realization about Ranger AND Morelli... M for adult themes, and language. Pretty angsty.

602 It's Not OK »
Set post-Explosive Eighteen - Stephanie feels the consequences of her actions, with some major fallout. Nobody comes out undamaged. Very high angst, but eventually a Babe HEA. References all books up to 18, but nothing beyond that. Rating for language (and more in some chapters :D)

57 Get a clue
He jumped off a bridge to save her life, but she still doesn't see how much he loves her? She needs to get a clue! So here's a giant sledgehammer of a clue for her... :-) Not mine, making no money (more's the pity!). Spoilers for Takedown Twenty. Rating for language.

54 All I have left
Ranger trusts those closest to him with what is most precious to him. But should he really? WARNING: NOT MM FRIENDLY. MAJOR ANGST. GRAPHIC DARK THEMES. CHARACTER DEATH. You have been warned!

18 Giving Cupcakes a Bad Name
One shot. An unexpected lunch date with an unusual friend causes Steph to ponder the history of being a 'cupcake'. A little bit unfriendly to Morelli, but not too much. A faint hint of Babe in the far distance... :)

109 Insight »
A heart-to-heart with Mary Lou is enlightening for Steph. Set after twenty-one, maybe minor spoilers for a couple of books.

22 The Last Time
Songfic to The Last Time by Taylor Swift with Gary Lightbody. Ranger and Steph both need more than back-and-forth games and late night visits and disappearances.
