Peter & Janie Back-story

[dottycow.livejournal.com]

Greetings fellow F&B fanatics,

I'm hoping some of you lovely people can help me....

I'm not exactly new here, but I've kind of been lurking around and not saying anything so I guess I should introduce myself. Most Internet communities I'm a part of know me as Dotty, parents named me Lauren, and one of my best friends calls me Ted... long story... anyway, feel free to address me as any of those. :-P

the reason for this post is that I have an idea stuck in my head for a fanfic, but I need a little help with the back-story, as I don't have my DVD yet (I'm hoping Santa will bring me it for Christmas)... does anyone know how Peter and Janie got together??? I need as many details of their relationship as possible. when and where they met, how they got together, when they broke up etc...

any help you guys could give me would be fantastic.

:-)

Hello! Oh god Jared looks so tiny in your icon there. Dude.

There isn't *that* much detail in canon about Peter and Janie, but here's what I remember off the top of my head. I'm sure people will be able to add in more:

I'm pretty sure we don't actually know when they got together or how long they dated for. I'm desperate to know.

Jared went to law school with Janie, because he stared at her in one of her classes. We don't know for a fact that Peter and Jared went to the same law school, and Jared staring at Janie doesn't mean they knew her, or Jared knowing her doesn't prove that Peter did?

Peter and Janie had sex *during* their first date.

Peter gave her footrubs even though he thinks feet are weird, and he wrote her a rock opera with the music from Rent but all his own lyrics.

She beats him a lot in court, I can't remember the numbers, but the case in the pilot is the first one he won against her out of fifteen or twenty or something.

Since they broke up she's had time to date at least one other person before Peter - a civil war re-enactor with a soul patch. And then date Nathan long enough to get engaged. And then they've spent six months not having sex by the time we get to episode 9.

Also in episode 9 Peter says they've only been split up for a year. So they were presumably split up for 6 months before we start, and Janie had been dating Dawson for a while, and then the next six months are the first series?

(Actually maybe her not having sex for so long explains her sudden weird bout of jealousy in the bangover and being cross that Peter slept with Lily, maybe she was just feeling a bit of tension. That bit always makes me cross, so I might make that my own personal reason for her being weird then.)

I think that's all I've got:)
