Fic post #1: untitled Bones ficlet (Wendell/Hodgins, PG13)

[carolinecrane]

People left some great key party comment fics in my last post ( which you should totally check out), and since it was my idea, I felt I should contribute something of my own. I didn't write the CSI fic, because that's going to have to be long to do it justice, and I have to do actual work at work this week. Well, through tomorrow night, anyway,

Oh sweet lord, Caroline. ♥

First of all, the song. OMG THE SONG. It's so very very cute that I think I might burst into peices.

Next of all! OMG FIC! I don't mind even a little, and this was adorable. I like Jack thinking about his sexuality and I love Wendell worrying (it's my favvvvee.) I love also the idea of Grace trying to be "subtle" witha Key party. That kind of kills me with awesome.

I thank you kindly for the loan of your fanon :) I love the idea of Grace thinking she's subtle too. Your characterization of her makes me laugh and laugh; I love it.

The song is SO PERFECT. It just came on shuffle tonight and I was like, "What? Song! Where have you been all my life?" And then I pictured Wendell singing it to the twins and dancing to make them laugh and I melted a little.

OMG, you take Grace to the awesome level. I just kind of started it out. :) Although now I have ideas formulating! AWESOME! Oh... our verse. Seriously. It surprises me how much I love this little verse when the canon is KILLING ME SLOWLY.

But oh goodness. Dancing around and being goofy and switching out names for their names and then like pretending he is going to make them starfish for breakfast and OMG HE CAN MAKE PANCAKES IN THE SHAPES and oh lord. I am melting too!

Starfish pancakes! That is PERFECT. There was that whole Sunday pancake breakfast thing in the original verse, wasn't there? God, so many details. We need a thesis or a timeline or something.

Also, hooray for fic ideas! That's what I like to hear ;)

You know, I was almost looking forward to the finale, and then I was reminded of some details I'd forgotten, and it just depressed me. But writing this perked me right back up again.

i don't know anything at all about Bones. But Starfish & Coffee totally caught my attention. That is like the best song ever. I never stop laughing and grinning like an idiot when I hear it.

It's such a great song! And I assure you, it's perfect for the character that Liz and I have essentially created from scratch.

You gave me the song and I wrote something totally silly to go with it. :) It was quick and totally unbetaed, but um. For you, Caroline. ♥

It wasn’t often that Jack found himself up early enough in the morning to get to see the show, but it made the fact that he was up at 7 far more palatable. He had caught Wendell dancing for Alex when she was little, but he had never gotten sick of the sight of Wendell’s morning dancing. He had to be quiet, and pretty stealth. His sons had a pretty good daddy detector, which always gave away the game. So he had to sneak in.

He was lucky though, both were too wrapped up in their silly dad to notice him in the doorway. Wendell had a spatula in his hand and was kind of using it as a microphone.

“It was 7:45, all in line to greet the teacher Miss Kathleen. First came William, next came Nathan, third in line was me…Jack smiled so wide his face hurt. It was weird to think that just a few years back he wouldn’t have really considered being up this early and listening to an off key rendition of really

Oh, oh, I love this so much. Thank the iTunes gods for shuffling this song last night, because this is perfect. The gratuitous display of affection and sing-song 'I love you' makes me melt into a puddle of goo. ::holds ficlet tight and never lets go::

Good gravy, I love these two so much it's stupid.

[cinderlily]

*holds YOU tight and never lets go*

I have officially listened to that song like... too many times to count. SO CUTE. And the image of Wendell. OMG. WENDELL.It just gets better with time. :D

And I like to think Wendell started that when Alex starts to get to the sullen, "Parents shouldn't show that stuff" phase cause his parents did it to him. Only fair. ;)

ME TOO. I love them so much I rewatched all the parts with Wendell in it last night.

True confession: I have a DVD of Wendell's Greatest Hits (aka Wendell's episodes). I forced Rachel to watch it the last time she came to stay at my house. I need to add Cinderella and possibly the finale, if he's indeed in it, and I will bring them this summer. Wendell/Hodgins viewing party!
