Firstly, a vid rec - Skinny Genes (http://charmax.livejournal.com/132855.html) by charmax.

Tracing Jane's recovery from her physical injuries & Maura from her emotional ones after the end of last season. When Maura Isles Made It Rain (http://archiveofourown.org/works/219700) by harper_m. Jane goes undercover as a stripper/lesbian prostitute, Maura goes along as her john. The Seduction of Jane Rizzoli (http://lears-daughter.livejournal.com/43919.html) by lears_daughter, in which Maura attempts to woo Jane. Oh, It's Love (http://archiveofourown.org/works/112186) by lears_daughter. Jane Rizzoli isn’t a lesbian. She simply happens to be in a loving and committed relationship with a woman. Conclusions (http://jane-maura-ff.livejournal.com/67276.html?style=mine) by ainsleyaisling. Jane's family is disappointed in Jane. Jane jumps to conclusions as to why.

Are there any episodes without Men of the Week?
Indeed there are. Boston Strangler Redux was actually the worst episode they've done so far. 01x03, Sympathy For The Devil had Joe Grant (although he left at the end), but it also had Jane's mother setting her up on a blind-date with him, and Jane taking one look, and immediately leaving for Maura's with wine and flowers, oh and Maura & Jane spending the night together again.
01x04, She Works Hard For The Money had no men of the week, just Harvard students becoming prostitutes to pay their tuition and Maura looking at Jane like she's completely in love with her.
01x05 had Jane & Maura fighting over money/class and still managing to be ridiculously subtexty. It had Maura's ex-boyfriend, Zach from Saved By The Bell, but she only spends time with him to prove to Jane that she's got her back.
01x07 had Jane & Maura running a marathon together and their first on-screen hug, and no men as far as I can recall.
01x08 had Agent Dean returning and once again being slightly creepy and having no chemistry with Jane, but it also has Maura spending the night with Jane again, Jane teaching Maura how to shoot her gun and hand-holding.
01x09, had no men, just Jane freaking out when Maura's kidnapped, Jane & Maura holding hands(and Frankie showing up and looking completely unsurprised to see Maura once again spending the night in Jane's apartment), and lots of gratuitous touching.
01x10 also featured no men, but had plot holes you could drive a truck through (apparently, nobody in the entire police department has a cell phone?) and lots of Jane/Maura gayzing at each other.
