Summary
This story takes places immediately after the season one cliff-hanger: Jane Rizzoli and her brother have been shot and are at the hospital. Their parents are devastated, their colleagues a mess, and their workplace a crime scene. The one person holding everything and everybody together is Dr. Maura Isles, who is simultaneously struggling with her own unvoiced feelings for Jane. But even Maura has her limits, and when she finally falls, she falls hard...
‘Confessions of a Perfectionist’ attempts to realistically depict a stress-induced depression and how one might recover from one, including how thought patterns change along the way. As such, the story could be labeled "therapy fic". However, the love between Jane and Maura remains centre – it's Rizzles through and through.

Clearly I always felt this way, and the world was always like this. I just didn't realise it until a few days ago.
The insight sent a jolt-like sob through her body and made her curl up even more.
If I was always like this, then there's no point in hoping to become myself again, no point in waiting for this to pass. 'This' won't pass until everything passes. It's not simply my lot in life; it is my life.//
My mouth is watering.
Maura stopped in the middle of a sentence as the realisation struck.
My mouth is watering because I'm thinking about food.
"What is it?" Jane enquired.
Frowning, Maura ran her tongue over her teeth just to double check.
I really want halloumi. Cheese. Food.
"I… I just realised something."
"What?" Jane prodded gently, nudging Maura's side with her elbow.
"I'm hungry," Maura replied, still frowning. -
