Fics like According to Oliver

Patrick Jane knows how to survive. He has been doing it for years. After the accident that took Angela and Charlotte, Patrick rebuilds what is left of his life around the one person who still needs him: his son, Oliver. A small house in Sacramento. A yellow kitchen. Dinosaur books. Pancakes shaped badly enough to become legendary. Bedtime stories, grief that never fully leaves, and one little boy who deserves every ounce of love Patrick still has left to give. Then Oliver meets Teresa Lisbon in a bookstore and immediately decides she is important. Teresa does not mean to become part of their lives. Patrick does not mean to let her. Neither of them is prepared for the strange, ordinary, terrifying way love begins to grow—not by replacing what was lost, not by erasing the past, but by making room for something new beside it. A warm, emotional, domestic Mentalist AU about grief, parenthood, slow-burn love, the CBI team noticing far too much, and the quiet miracle of a family becoming three.
