Oh... my god. *dies a thousand wonderful deaths* I'm not even a fan of Hodgins/Booth and this is quite possibly one of the most beautiful Bones fics I've read. Poetry makes everything better. I can't wait for your finished fic! :D

[lostakasha]

What wonderful feedback -- thank you so much! And yes, I think poetry makes everything better, too. :)

Good Ol' Walt Whitman. Can't beat him with a stick.

Glad you liked this. I had a ball writing it.

copperwash and I were just howling over your 'Booth not being good enough for Hodgins' observation. That's funny. ♥

Guh! Just . . . Guh! OMG! This is your interim fic? I'm not sure if I'll be able to read your assigned fic, 'cause this one keeled me ded! This is truly beautiful; your words even more so than Whitman's. “You file the interphalangeal joints smooth. All shooters do.” OMG! Of course Hodgins would notice that! And then, Just like that - so simple - and Hodgins was holding an assassin’s hand. *dies* He's so utterly accepting of Booth, and Booth needs that!

*loves*

They are so bizarrely perfect for one another, aren't they? And thank you for the wonderful feedback, sweets... I'm glad the fun I had writing this came through.
