History Fanfic / CalamityJaneMeetsDoctorIsles

* HeterosexualLifePartners: Jane and Maura essentially pose as this to avoid questions about their relationship; as they argue, if anyone asks why two attractive women are living together rather than getting married, they will claim that they've concluded that no man would be able to understand their desire to continue in their chosen fields even if they got married, so they've chosen not to bother about it.

* ExactWords: Due to Maura’s inability to lie, she is careful about her word choice during her visit to Boston while Jane is posing as her husband, as shown in this scene when discussing if she and ‘Jake’ have considered having children;
--->"We have discussed children, yes. But going from the intimate knowledge I have of Jake and myself, I've begun handing myself over to the fact that certain factors I'd really rather not discuss will preclude us from ever having children of our own."

* SkewedPriorities: More like foreshadowing their future relationship, but after Maura hears tales of Jake Wyatt’s accomplishments, the thing she most focuses on is Jake’s reputation as a ladies’ man.
* SmallNameBigEgo: A man at Constance Isles' latest art exhibition brags about his recent trip to Italy, but when pushed he can only say a short sentence in sloppy Italian, where Jane counters with an elaborate speech in that language.

* TheBigDamnKiss: Jane and Maura’s first kiss, in a rainstorm outside Maura’s house, just after Maura has told Jane that she loves her in every way

* {{Fanservice}}: Jane and Maura get the equivalent on a few occasions, such as Maura dressing as a saloon girl as part of an attempt to track Hoyt or [[spoiler:Jane and Maura each dressing sexily for the other in the bedroom (Maura in the contemporary equivalent of sexy lingerie to Jane donning her own alternative)]]
* TheFashionista: Maura has more limited resources, but she still enjoys dressing up
* FriendToAllLivingThings: Korsak still has this role, even taking in some horses on top of the smaller animals he cared for in canon

* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: Jane prepares to leave Hollow Creek [[spoiler:after Hoyt’s death]] because she thinks Maura will want a life away from the violence Jane’s brought into her world, only for Maura to immediately reject that idea
* IgnorantOfTheirOwnIgnorance: Apart from Maura’s mother [[spoiler:and biological father]], nobody Jane and Maura meet in Boston is aware that Jane is a woman, accepting the story that ‘Jake Rizzoli’ is Maura’s new husband, to the point that the younger sister of one of Maura’s old friends tries to flirt with ‘Jake’
* ImpaledPalm: Jane’s scars are more significant in this time due to the more primitive medical facilities, although she can still use her hands fairly normally
* InsecureLoveInterest: For Jane in particular, as she worries about everything Maura’s giving up to be with her, such as the ability to have her own children, and can’t believe Maura thinks she’s worth all that
* IntelligenceEqualsIsolation: Comes up for Maura on several occasions when reflecting on her past

* MistakenForGay: Ironically, this happened to Jane on a couple of occasions while she was posing as Jake Wyatt (although nobody uses the term ‘gay’ for obvious reasons); only the people who knew her well as Jane realise that she actually is attracted to Maura

* LikeBrotherAndSister: Jane and Frost never explicitly describe the other as such, but they are an important part of each other’s lives

* TheyFightCrime: The story focuses on Jane and Maura coming together in such unconventional circumstances, but they still develop a reputation for hunting criminals

* BrokenPedestal: Tommy’s admiration of Jane is shattered when he finds her about to get into a bath with Maura, unable to accept his sister’s relationship
* CannotTellALie: Maura, as always; she and Jane spend some time en route to Boston working out how Maura can discuss their ‘marriage’ without anything said being an actual lie, such as referring to Jane as ‘Jake’, an alias Jane already used; apart from referring to Jane as ‘he’, Maura never tells any real lies about her relationship with Jane when talking to her old friends.

---> '''Maura:''' “We have discussed children, yes. But going from the intimate knowledge I have of Jake and myself, I've begun handing myself over to the fact that certain factors I'd really rather not discuss will preclude us from ever having children of our own.”

* NakedPeopleAreFunny: Played with; Maura is immediately shocked and uncomfortable when Dennis prepares to sculpt her while naked (Maura quickly clarifying that she never had any attention of modelling nude for him in turn), but there is a certain humour in Jane subsequently kicking him out of their house
* ObfuscatingStupidity: Jane, based on a more genuine perception of herself this time around as she can’t read or write much beyond her name(s), but Maura is able to swiftly help Jane improve her literacy, and she often compliments Jane’s greater general knowledge in areas beyond book smarts (as well as Jane being fluent in Italian)

* PaperThinDisguise: Once characters get past the masculine clothing, Jane’s ‘Jake Wyatt’ disguise is just a fake moustache and wrappings around her chest, as well as socks down the front of her trousers
* ParentalSubstitute: Angela is this for Jane in this adaptation, as Jane’s biological mother died when she was five
* PosthumousCharacter: Maura’s father and Jane’s parents all died before the story began (Angela is Jane’s unofficially adopted mother), but they still have a strong influence on their daughters’ lives

* ReallyGetsAround: Jake Wyatt has a reputation with women, but Jane has managed to create such an impression without actually going further than flirting
* SecretIdentity: Jane’s whole identity as Jake Wyatt

* SuppressedMammaries: Justified in-universe as Jane was never significantly endowed
* SurprisinglyGoodForeignLanguage: Jane is able to take a few people by surprise when she speaks fluent Italian (particularly as she initially introduces herself to Maura as Jane Johnson rather than reveal her true surname)

* TheWestern: The entire storyline is this for the original series
* WorkingClassHero: Jane, in so many ways

* ShoutOut: Maura mentions that one of her mother’s acquaintances “[[Disney/BeautyAndTheBeast used antlers in all of his decorating]]”.

* ShipperOnDeck: Even before Jane and Maura have told anyone about their new relationship, Adelaide is shown subtly encouraging such an idea, such as observing that it looks natural for the two of them to be in a family-style photograph

* CompleteMonster: Hoyt; could he ever be anything else?

* FairForItsDay: A particularly positive example of this, as Korsak, a sheriff of a small town in the late-1800s, makes Jane and Frost his deputies despite one being a woman and the other being black (the third deputy is Frankie, who is obviously less controversial)
