Wow. The casino scene was just incredible, and the whole banter between them is perfect.

[dancinbutterfly]

Oh my god, I love this fic so incredibly much. It's fun and exciting and funny and then so freaking emotionally perfect without being sappy at all.

“No,” is the first word out of mouth when he sees Jim waiting for him in a hallway of the Academy hospital. “Jim, whatever it is, no. Unless it’s a shower and eighteen hours of sleeping, no.”

“You can sleep on the shuttle.”

“Shuttle? What shuttle? I’m not getting on a shuttle, Jim. I’m going to sleep. Right here, standing up, if you don’t get out of my way.”

“Look,” Jim says, slinging an arm around McCoy’s shoulders in a patented move that never seems to fail. “I packed you a bag, I got you a ticket, but we gotta be at the shuttle in twenty minutes. You’ll thank me.”

“When, Jim? When have I ever thanked you?”

First, what a great piece of dialog to get this going. I can just hear them here so perfectly.

And then the fabulous build of the gambling scene. I adored this moment:

“Get me a twelve,” Jim says into his ear, not letting go all the way and pulling his dice hand up to his

“We’re gonna have to get a divorce.” McCoy groans, rubbing his aching head. “I’m going to be twice divorced in two years. I’m going to be that guy-ex for each sex-like on some goddamn soap.”

“We are?” Jim looks at him, a little stunned. “Why? Did I or did I not just give you the best damn head you ever had?”

“I don’t know if I’d say the best. Not bad, though.”

“Oh, fuck you. Your eyes rolled back in your head.”

“Okay, it was pretty good. But best?”

Jim shrugs. “I know it was in the top five. But I’m still hung over. I’m better sober. Or drunker. In between’s a mess. But the point is, this,” he waves a hand between them, “this is good. So why do we need to get a divorce?”

“Because, Jim, this-this isn’t us. This isn’t who we are.”

“Why not? I still feel like me. I’m just me with you which is, ya know, who I always am.”And then this whole exchange! I love that they argue over the goodness of the blowjob! I love that Jim would be better sober or drunker! And then Jim just delivers the line that sums it all right up

He’s been called a few things in his time. He was Lenny as a kid, Len in high school, his mother called him Leo, and his ex-wife had referred to him as “you redneck country bastard” for the entire last year of their marriage. But he’s never Bones to anyone but Jim and damnit if it doesn’t feel more like him than anything he’s ever been called before

This is possibly my favorite review of all time. Firstly cause its from you and you rock so hard you roll. and secondly cause *flails madly* FUCKING LOOK AT WHAT YOU DID! ITS BEAUTIFUL! IT MAKES ME WANNA CRY YOU CARED THIS MUCH! I cant even tell you.

Your points - omg thank you. I love the things you went through and commented on. It made my day in such a huge way. But i havet say, I am so happy you feel like i do about Jim's "try"sexuality. He's not a sexual monogamist, our Jim. He's an emotional monogamist. Trying to rope him and never let him graze is cruel and unusually punishment that sets a man up for heartbreak. It thrills me that you can see that :D

Hell, your commments all together thrill me. I cant even deal with my joy levels right now so I'm just gonna say "thank you" and leave it there.

This fic literally had me reading sections out loud to my roommate, who now wants me to send her a link. I love your characterizations of the two of them. So lovely. ♥

I enjoyed most of this, it had a great sense of a roller coaster weekend that has a real Vegas vibe.

But I'm a little confused about the slut section of their morning-after conversation. Did Jim really say he has no intention of even trying to keep his vows?

If so, it seems strange that Jim just waved away any suggestion of fidelity and Bones didn't call him on it. Even if he was OK with Jim being a slut while they were friends, wouldn't that change when they were married? Bones is just supposed to not care that his husband cheats on him? It just didn't seem like something you just shrug off without even a comment.

So, I dig that you question it. It means you were paying attention. I just dont know if you'll like my answer

[grey_bard]

Wait, wait, wait? There's going to be *more*?

I'm sorry, I think I just heard a hallelujah chorus somewhere.

[dancinbutterfly]

thats the plan
