#Merge Mansion x Mentalist Crossover

[604to647]

Oh you’re onto something here @noisynightmarepoetry 🤭🤭🤭 In my mind, Tim and Marcus are old buddies from a case where they worked together on a joint LAPD-FBI taskforce. A long lasting friendship was formed based on mutual respect and love of Chinese food.

But that’s separate from why Tim wants to run over Jane with a patrol car 😂😂😂 Jane is just so POMPOUS and ATTENTION SEEKING 🤮

After he boots Jane out of his office, Tim receives a call from his old friend in the FBI, “Hey buddy, just want to give you a heads up on someone who might be stopping by your precinct. You know that fake psychic, Patrick Jane?”

“Geez Louise, a fake psychic?” Tim rubs his face in annoyance.

“Yeah, I know. It’s a long story but he’s been consulting for the FBI, and yesterday I overheard him saying he was going to offer his ‘services’ to the LAPD on the Pie Case.”

“You’re too late, Pike. Blowhard was just here,” grunts Tim.

Marcus scrunches his face in disbelief, "Aw, sorry man. He's been a real... interesting addition to a few of my cases. I have a feeling no one stopped him from heading over to your side of town thinking it would give them a few hours of peace. Hope he didn't take up too much of your time."

"It's never taken me long to tell someone who deserves it to shove it up his ass," chuckles Tim. "Wait, you're here in LA?"

"Yeah, just flew in yesterday for a case. Was gonna call you anyways to see if you wanted to hit up that place in Chinatown that I still dream about," grins Marcus, his eyes starting to glaze over while imagining the plates of shrimp cheung fun and steaming baskets of har gow and xiao long bao stacked higher than his head.

"Can't ever say 'no' to dumplings, Pike," Tim pauses, "Do you mind if I bring someone? Shutterbug would kill me if I went to her favourite dim sum place without her."

"Shutterbug, eh? Absolutely I want to meet her," Marcus laughs, delighted that his gruff, stoic friend who used to always scoff at Marcus' own romantic and sentimental nature has found himself a paramour upon whom he's bestowed a cutesy pet name.

Tim rolls his eyes good-naturedly, “Fine, text me the date and time.”

"See you soon, buddy." Marcus is still chuckling to himself as he hangs up.

I know it's not everyone's HC, but in this house, Teresa Lisbon does not deserve our dear Marcus; so even though she should have picked him, he's much better off that she didn't 😊. Tim probably doesn't know this history though, otherwise Jane might have left Tim's office with more than just a bruised ego 🤷🏻‍♀️ Who knows? Maybe Shutterbug brings a friend with her to dim sum? 😏😏🤭🥟🥟

OK soooo… 😂

I just watched the trailer for High Potential, where a police lieutenant hires the precinct’s cleaning lady to consult on cases and laughed so hard at the lead detective’s reaction when he’s told 😂

Please. Someone with superior photoshop/creative skills please please please make like, a three panel edit for a Merge Mansion-Mentalist crossover with Patrick Jane volunteering his (unsolicited) consulting services to Detective Tim Rockford and Tim’s justified and predictable response 😂😂😂

IDK. And maybe a bonus pic where Tim and Marcus high five 😂😂😂

A/N: The only story that was written “in order” is the first, which inspired the series; it’s our meet cute and where reader’s nickname is revealed 😊 Where there is a photography element in the stories, the related photos in the moodboard are taken by yours truly; which is why the series title pic above includes two pics of me taking pictures 🤭 but reader is written as a physical blank slate (to the best of my ability 💕) - she’s not me, she’s you, boo 😘

Series Summary: Your detective boyfriend agrees to share you with his friend in the FBI.

Series Warnings: 18+ Content (MDNI please). Literally Threesome PWP. Don't look at me please. Individual warnings on each instalment.

AU Setup

Part 1: Before He Leaves new!

Part 2: After He Lands

Part 3: Until Next Time

A/N: Sooooo... this (crack) crossover was born from this runaway thought I had where Tim and Marcus know each other in a law enforcement capacity. I wrote this intending for it to be our The Rockford Portfolio couple, but also not?? I think of it as an alternative universe version of them - I’m not 100% convinced that Tim in our main collection would be down with sharing his Shutterbug, but I wanted to convey that same level of trust and devotion in this version of the couple. Though if you wanted to, you can imagine that it's them 😌😌🥰😘
