Read earlier on ff.net (on my phone hence delayed review) but lovely to see you posting here too - fab first fic post!

This is just gorgeous. Brennan's method of distracting Booth is SO perfectly HER.

She doesn't answer him. She's pouring all of her focus into the contraption covering the table; turning wheels, sliding brightly coloured blocks... ensuring every part of it functions as it should and is worthy of their child. And Booth falls in love with her for the sixth or seventh time today.

Love, love, love.

Thank you!! I'm feeling very accomplished right now, ha. I tried to do a BGA post as well, so you may need to look at that and dole out appropriate wrist slappage if it's wrong...

I love to see you here.

And you know how much I loved this fic!

[summerren]

Dude. I am not even going to tell you how long it took me to actually put this all together. You will mock me until the end of time. But yay and thank you!

Imma go take a nap now. This is DRAINING.

I'm always happy to see you here, and I may have squeed out loud when I saw that this is a fic post too! ♥

This episode was just what the doctor ordered, wasn't it? I love how you've built on that, and how you added all those layers that make B/B so very much them in this story. It was wonderful to see how Brennan understands Booth so well that she comes up with the perfect way to help him, and that it leads to a competition which ends with both of them winning. They're partners, it's what they do - and I love how you brought that old mantra to life in their "new" life together :))

*grins* Thank you, darling. There were quite a few things about this episode that made me happy; I'm glad you feel the same!

I'll have to hang on to the instructions e-mail I was given so that I can maybe repeat this LJ part next fic too. I must admit, I feel very fancy throwing around words like 'cut' and 'comm' :)

[fourth_rose]

*g* Go you! Looks like you've got all the IT support you need, but just in case I can help with anything, just holler :)

I've gotten used to ff.net by now, but I still prefer to read stuff here on LJ because it's just so much more interactive in many ways with all those shiny comment threads ;)

I do really enjoy all the pretty little pictures. I need to get on top of finding more of those so I can stop being so jealous of everyone else's :P

Excellent therapy. Too bad Sweets couldn't take lessons from them.

[summerren]

Ha, it's true; that boy should have no hand in B/B therapy. Ever. Thank you!

Oh this is ADORABLE and so in character!!!!

My favourite bits were these: Brennan misses the sarcasm. "I'm much smarter than Angela. And Hodgins." I laughed out loud literally here! So Bones-y! and And Booth falls in love with her for the sixth or seventh time today. made me feel all fuzzy inside, it's so true to Booth too!

And this bit was particularly them "My mom is dead." The words hurt, even now, but she manages to get them out. "I still miss her."

Booth nods. "Our parents are our parents, right? No matter how bad they screw up."

"We will learn from their mistakes. And Angela's."

Pitch perfect voices! Great fic! :)

I'm so glad you liked it! Thank you. Some of the lines you picked out were among my favourite to write as well, so that makes me kind of excited :)
