Character: Temperance Brennan
Rating: K+
Notes: This is my first foray into fanfiction, and writing in general (outside of academic papers). This has been bouncing around my head for the last week and I just had to get it out. Please feel free to leave reviews, I'd really like to know what everyone thinks of this, especially as I'm so nervous about posting it. Any and all constructive criticism is appreciated, flames will be ignored. Thanks! Credit goes to eleniangel for the title.
She’d never been one to see shades of gray. Black and white, rationality and logic, those were things she understood, things she had based her life upon.
But lately…lately she’s been seeing those shades of gray. They’ve been twirling, swirling, blending, morphing into vivid colors (her hands are still stained crimson) and sometimes she just wants it to stop. She wants to go back to when Zack wasn’t a murderer and Booth was just her partner and not something in between.
Then she thinks of her father as a free man, thinks of those lingering looks she and Booth have been sharing more and more lately. If putting her heart into overdrive means she has to see those shades of gray, she thinks maybe…maybe this is her way of evolving. And that’s something she can live with.
