some walls have ears booth/brennan, pg. there’s a reason for middle points and for keeping them too. post-ep for tough man in the tender chicken. 1,660 words.
Gorgeous, gorgeous piece. I especially liked this:
“There’s no sometimes,” she tells him. She doesn’t think. She reaches for him too, her fingers lacing through his without thinking. “There’s no ifs. You are you, Booth. If you wake up and decide you don’t like brown sugar anymore, then you don’t like brown sugar anymore. You are still you.”
He laughs softly. There’s somewhat of a smile too, the corners of his mouth pressed. His fingers brush against her jaw.
“So you keep telling me.”
The intimacy is captured flawlessly. I love the tiny moments you give them. Really well done. ♥
AHHHH. I love this so incredibly much! I just love how Brennan is getting things now, and how she's able to comfort Booth, and how LOST Booth must feel at times, like he's not himself, that he doesn't really love her. HE DOES. You just get these two so well! Thank you!
I am in love with your style. The almost austere writing, with no more and no less words than necessary, punctuated by absent thoughts on the background and ambiance that are so very real. Your word choice and tone make it feel so flawlessly intimate, like I am viewing something extremely personal. Booth and Brennan are exactly, perfectly themselves, even more so than they have been on the show itself at some points. The touching (subtle or otherwise) is fantastically in-character, and I love it.
