Fic: The Hardest Thing (1/1)

[ggjunkie33]

Sometimes, she thinks too much. And sometimes, she knows she doesn’t think enough.

It’s a balancing act, not unlike the high-wire that she mastered long ago; this, however, she hasn’t mastered (and she’s not sure she ever will).

Oftentimes, either extreme leads her somewhere she doesn’t want to be.

Think too much, and her train of thought

nice work...I hope she can figure it out.

Thanks! I hope she can too. :)

I love this. You should be very happy with it. Brennan's voice was spot on!

Thank you so much! I always find Brennan hard to write, so I'm glad you thought she was in character here.

This was PERFECT Brennan!

When she let the teenage Temperance out instead of Dr. Temperance Brennan; the one who had never been asked to a dance or a party by a boy, who now betrayed her in making her forget everything she knew to be true about the best man she’s ever known. Do you think I’m a loser?

This is the best explanation for her behaviour in Conman that I've read.. it's so completely true.

Beautiful fic!

*mems for anytime I need a hook on Brennan's character*

Awww thanks bb! *blushes* I'm SO glad that she seemed in character to you, as I find she can be really hard to write sometimes.

I like this, simple but spot on <3

What a wonderful look inside Brennan's head! You've really nailed her here I think and this section in particular I thought could explain so much of what she does that doesn't always make sense: When she doesn’t think enough, when she lets her heart lead her, she inevitably does something wrong. There are countless times when she’s said the wrong thing, done the wrong thing, and caused hurt to someone she cares about.

But for all her character quirks and all her mistakes, you've shown us the heart of Temperance Brennan and it's simply lovely: She doesn’t know if she’ll ever get it right. But she has to try.

So good! Thanks for sharing it with us!

Thank you so much! I'm so glad you liked it! Brennan is really hard for me to write sometimes, as I find that in my head I usually think more like Booth than Brennan, so it's always nice to know that I was able to do her character justice :)
