Delicious, well-written, and ouchy.

Heh, I'm sorry about the ouchy part but I'm incredibly glad that you enjoyed this! Your well-written comment makes me ridiculously pleased, so thanks for taking the time to leave feedback ♥

Wow. That was really fantastic. I'm wondering, with writing like that, if you've got a pipe-line into the show writer's head. At least, I can hope you do. This is a completely plausible way for this story line to play itself out - one can only hope the show's writer's take heed.

Thank you - it makes me entirely flattered to hear you really felt a Show-y side to this, I wasn't initially sure how well it would all come through so your comment is much appreciated ♥

As much as I can dream, I'm afraid I don't have a pipeline into the writers' heads, I can only hope like you that it all goes something like this :)

this was magnificent. if it unfolds this way on the show, i'll be incredibly satisfied. i think you handled hannah fairly & gave good insights as to why booth has stayed with hannah. you've given my booth & brennan shipper heart hope! :)

I'm so pleased that I was able to give you a little bit of hope - that was just the nicest thing to hear :) I'm also glad that you thought Hannah was treated fairly overall - I was worried that a fic almost entirely from her perspective wouldn't go down so well, but the feedback has been mostly good - so thank you!

Thank you so much! I'm so pleased you enjoyed ♥

This was excellent. I agree with you that Booth is delieberately hiding a lot of himself from Hannah.

I do think he's happier with the relationship than you've portrayed it here, but I also agree that there is something fundamental missing since he can't/won't trust his past to her.

I'm with a2zmom on this.

IMO, Booth's happy - but his happiness is based on a "house of cards" that absolutely has to come tumbling down. If it doesn't, then HH loves KW far more than he loves his TV show.

I think this fic was definitely more of the tumbling down than the happy, but I agree with you on the point about HH maybe going too far with the KW love. I just feel like the things he's saying about Hannah's character and whatnwe're actually seeing don't quite match up, so I was trying to exploit that a little here :)

eitoph January 5 2011, 11:56:20 UTC

I think it's been quite telling that the writers have made a point of hinting at all these things she doesn't know about him - I'm glad you enjoyed my take on it :)

Admittedly, I did only step into Booth's head in the lows of the relationship and this piece is a little heavy on the angst - I definitely agree that he takes some happiness from the relationship, even if it's somewhat superficial.

Thank you for your feedback!
