They seem so bright and alive
I love this. Actually I love all your descriptions of Boone but I found this particularly ironic because, y'know, he's dead. Whenever I write dead!person fic (lol that sounds weird) I always describe them as cold and dark feeling - you did the opposite and I liked it. It worked. Anyway, if Izzie was being followed around by a cold zombie-like creature she might freak out more. ;)
feels a tear slide sloppily down her cheek
I can't quite put my finger on why exactly, but I loved this description. I love "sloppily". It's so rarely used to describe something in fics. It's sort of tragically beautiful. ♥
I love how he called her Isobel at the start, and Izzie and Iz came later. I think it shows progession, shows that a more intimate reletionship slowly formed - not necessarily romantic, but intimate. Very very nice touch.
You're gonna make a hole in that bowl, Isobel
Hee, it rhymes! Sorry, I'm a dork.
She told me I've always been the one to rescue her
So so Shannon/Boone. Because that's what Boone did - he always rescued Shannon. Boone was always trying to be a white knight, trying to help people. *huggles Boone* You've captured that so well.
his blue eyes are as soft as the wind, and it gives her that security blanket she's been yearning for, even if it lasts for just a second
That's just gorgeous. There are so many gorgeous lines in this story but my mind is sorta still shut off at the moment so I can't find them all again but I do just fucking adore this one. I've told you this before but your use of imagery is spot-fucking-on. Seriously.
"It's like being stuck on a deserted island. The possibility of being rescued just seems so far away."
Hee, I love these little hints of him telling her about his death, about his life just before his died. I also like the reference to his work in the same paragraph. Like what I said before about the evolution from Isobel to Izzie/Iz, I feel it shows how their reletionship grows. As they get closer and they open up to each other, hints are dropped about Boone and his past to her and I just love how you worked it. It's subtle to her, that sort of line is sort of toss-away if you don't know Boone - but to us, and to him, it means alot because we know what he's implying. If that makes sense. . . .
He smiles, and his voice has a hint of a chuckle, "You won't."
"I won't? I have money, I can get away."
I love that he just knows she won't leave. He really knows her well, he knew she'd do something good with the money and he knows that all her suggestions of what she could do were just crap. ♥ Love the B&B reference too - that was mentioned in the show, wasn't it?
"I've got a whole lifetime to wait by your side."
Guh, that is seriously just lovely. This feels like a bit of a defining moment. He wasn't going to leave her until she's ready to stand on her own two feet in a sense and it also gave off a bit of a romantic feeling to it as well. Seriously, that is just gorgeous.
"You stare at blondes with short hair. What was her name?"
His head whips around to looks at hers, his eyes wide with protest, and Izzie feels the laughter sneak up her throat as he vehemently protests, "I don't stare -"
She drops her hands to her sides, feeling like she's talking to Meredith about her love for McDreamy, and asks more forcefully, "What was her name?"
Hee. This is the first time you really feel like they're so close that Izzie knows him that well too. Izzie doesn't know about Shannon, but she knows because she knows Boone. It's another sign of how intimate they've become. And it's so utterly Izzie too - she's pretty perceptive. I love that whole passage but I think italicing the whole of it takes up too much needed space in this comment. ;)

continuing the smooth rhythm to mute music
The sound of small creaks and buzzing plays around the room like a soft instrument
I loved both those lines. They were seriously gorgeous. A nice, vague sort of imagery that's so suiting. I don't really know how to explain why I like it because it left me sort of mooshy and speechless but I love it. =D
She doesn't say anything as he presses his lips to her cheek, she closes her eyes and tries to take in the warmth that makes her cheek feel on fire, and when he pulls away, she opens her eyes and sees his comforting smirk and his eyes twinkling like they usually do whenever he's with her.
It's when she blinks he fades away.
*wibble* Gorgeous ending. Y'know, I like that it wasn't really a romantic fic. This fit them well. Your concept was solid and you followed through. The platonic reletionship was believable. Wonderful job, as usual. There was really no reason to be worried about it at all. ♥

Phew. I got the number right! I was worried about that. Seattle Grace is populated with whores and gossipers, so I wouldn't be surprised if they found out about this. I'm pretty sure everyone who watches TV or has a newspaper would have found out about the crash. ;) But her knowing this was a way of progressing through the story.

Aww, thank you. I wasn't sure on how to end it, but that scene between Alex and Izzie and the whole ‘closure' (pfft, A/I closure doesn't exist!) kind of gave me an idea to make that Boone and Izzie's goodbye scene.
But thank you so much!! ;) You're the bestest best BEST bifey EVER!! *huckles*

I just figured that if she's lying on her side the tear isn't going to go straight down her face. But I'm glad you read into it, if you did. ;)

I think Boone would be the type to call her ‘Isobel', I just got this feeling that he'd be formal (maybe because he has money) but I'm glad you saw the progression in their relationship.

It does. I know people say, "If you were trapped on a desert island what would you want with you?"and all those references to wanting to be on a deserted island, so it's kind of one of those things people just throw out there and it flies over everyone's heads. But I thought that the fic needed hints of Boone's past to kind of represent that he's here to help and that perhaps he's meant to let the island go and move on.
Love the B&B reference too - that was mentioned in the show, wasn't it?
Yeah, it was. I just thought I'd throw it back in there since I think Izzie would want to open a B&B - possibly after retirement?
This feels like a bit of a defining moment. He wasn't going to leave her until she's ready to stand on her own two feet in a sense and it also gave off a bit of a romantic feeling to it as well. Seriously, that is just gorgeous.
I wasn't too sure where I was going with this; whether it be friendship or more, but having a relationship with someone who really isn't there seemed problematic, especially with the way I wanted this to go. But I wanted hints of romance or romantic feelings on either side, and some sort of BFF vibe, too.
Hee. This is the first time you really feel like they're so close that Izzie knows him that well too. Izzie doesn't know about Shannon, but she knows because she knows Boone. It's another sign of how intimate they've become. And it's so utterly Izzie too - she's pretty perceptive.
Just to have Boone know about Izzie (or ghost-stalk her) would feel a little creepy, but hopefully at the end, with one of the last things he says to her, suggests that he got his information and how to approach this situation from a source that knows her very well. But thank you! Izzie being perceptive is possibly one of her best traits.
