Beautiful :D

Some of us are lucky enough to be both Whovians AND Boners... that sounded better in my head o_O

This is gorgeous - I love love love those last two lines.

Because once she was a girl who laughed at danger and held the hand of an alien as they ran through space and time. And now she is a woman -- eyes wide open, heart full and feet always, always on the run.

Lovely.

♥

(PS. If you ever want a Brit-checky-beta for your DW fic, let me know - although you're very good!)

HA! Boners! Bonesians? Bonesophiles? Boneites?

WE NEED A BETTER NAME, OMG.

Also, your P.S. makes me paranoid. I used to be really good at code-switching but I think I've gotten lazy with all this fic that I can write in American English now. What did I mess up??

[tempertemper]

WE DO NEED A BETTER NAME!! There is nothing catchy like Whovians or X-Philes *grumbles*

Only "sneakers" - we say "trainers" instead - because we're WEIRD. IDK if you do the whole humour/humor switch too? Some people don't bother, I know. I do for my Bones fic but only because spacekid77 whips me if I don't ;)

[ladychi]

TRUE STORY. I had first typed "trainers" and then somehow talked myself out of it.

Oy vey, Chi.

I tend to always write in American English because it strikes me as disingenuous if I don't, you know? I mean, I, the author, am American. The characters don't write the narration, I do. But I do try to code-switch as much as possible for slang and that kind of thing.

OH ENGLISH. Why must you be so hard?

Btw, I'm only just now understanding how annoyed the Brits in fandom used to be in HP-land when they encountered Americanisms. I swear to you, I read a one-shot the other day where B&B went to the carpark to get Booth's SUV and just about died.

That was amazingly gorgeous. :D

OMG WELCOME BACK TO WHO! :D I don't watch Bones so I must confess I've been a little jealous.

This was gorgeous, as always. Wonderful. I tried to pick out one line to call out, but actually found they all fit together too perfectly, so removing one without the rest seems weird.

OHAI THAR. GOOD MORNING.

Oh, g'on you with your fancy compliments and your flattery. I'll find a way to balance all my fandoms better, I swear, so that me hosting Whofic won't be all OMG, you know? Although maybe that's a good thing? I'm not as overly-exposed as when I was writing sixteen fics a week? I dunno. *laugh*

Oh, I do like this.

One question, though: you wrote: "It's his sonic screwdriver next to her." Should that be "hers"? Or some noun after the "her"?

I do like this very much.
