Holy crap... I WIN! I think I just caught up with you girls! HURRAH! Now, the trick, LSQ, is to not fall behind again!
Oh man, after the sheer joy and giddiness of the last chapter, we come hurtling back to earth with a mighty thump:
It's as if the ground they're walking on could crumble at any given moment-- give way from underneath their feet and pull them into the depths of the Earth.
And if that were to happen... would he and Bones find their way out of it and back to each other again?
If that happened, I'm not sure that either of them would have the strength to try again. It would likely be the end of them.
Life never happens in a straight line. There are twists and turns and wrong forks taken. And we take a giant step back with this:
There's too much space between them; there's hurt in her eyes and his heart and as much as they just want to go back to the way things once were, it feels like all they're doing by being together is hurting.
But what is off balance finds its balance again in a time of need:
So I'm horribly behind in responding to comments as such. But seeing as how this is the latest one... I'm just going to say what I have to say here (for now, anyway).
First of all. I admire you. I really do.
Commenting rapid fire like you did is really quite admirable LSQ. So props to you for that! Heh. :)
I am still reeling from this episode as well as the one after it. And really? I'm such a mixed bag of emotions. Sometimes I feel heartbroken, where as others I'm optimistic (hence, the very inconsistent tone to these mini-fics). I just... everytime I think about Show, I feel.
As to what exactly?
Well. See above.
Again, thanks LSQ. I promise I'll get to responding to every single lovely comment of yours. I just don't know when. :(

Let's put this in perspective though, shall we? I was a woman on a mission this week-end. Between the novel revisions and writing the 100th ep one-shot I was WAY behind. So I set a goal for myself to read and review every story I was behind on (including all the minific chapters, it was probably close to 30), read every industry blog post I was behind on (103 in total), to write all my review replies and to catch up on e-mail. And to write for the contest that FM and I are entering. Okay, so I fell down on the last part but I did everything else so now I can write with nothing hanging over my head. It took TIME, but I was determined to get through it all and I did.
This is the kind of stupid singlemindedness that gets the novel researched and written in under 6 months. *rolls eyes at self* Normal people have lives.

How wonderful to see you fic-ing their dance, since 5x16 to 5x17 jumped too far in time for my liking. And of course their looks during the dance conveyed so much about what was going on, but I love how you filled in some blanks here.
Other than that, I'm really enjoying this whole storyline! :D
Thanks for reading these, my friend! Really. It kinda just happened, but the fact that so many people are enjoying these is a, very much appreciated, added bonus. :D

And that, my friend, is very impressive.
No rush. And if you don't make it, no worries. It's more important that you get the review for your hard work than I get a reply for a comment...
Still, though. If you take the time to say a kind word or two, I figure the least I could do is respond to that, you know? Quid pro quo, I guess. :)
(And yes, I realize that instead of continuing to chat with you here, I could be spending this time, responding to your other comments. *sigh*)

You and M make me smile.

We seek solace within this too, Jems. So you're defs not alone there! :)
ITA. Show needs this. Right, right now. But, you know, come to think of it? I think Booth and Brennan need this more.

Yes, yes!
My Dear, We're Slow Dancing In A Burning Room.
Way to knock the wind out of me with just the TITLE of the thing.

I think the credit must go to John Mayer, for that one. :)

The idea that both of them needed fixing before they can be.
It's a slow process. And sometime, sure, it can hurt a little more than they'd like.
But the fact is... the fact is, that they belong together.
They can feel it deep inside their hearts, but more importantly, they know.
