So worth waiting for. SO WORTH IT. I adore it completely. ♥ ♥ ♥

Yay! I'm so glad you liked it, bb. Thank you! ♥

I really, really loved this. Their relationship and dynamic, the way they both look out for each other. And Bones calling Jim "Jim-darlin'" is so fucking adorable. <3<3

I have a not-so-secret love of Bones calling Jim darlin'. With that accent. UNF.

Thank you so much!

This was really beautiful. The balance of angst and uncertainty was wonderfully done and the whole thing was beautifully written. And I like that everything's not okay at the end, but that there's hope that they'll get there. Thanks so much for sharing!

[thistlerose]

Yeah, they'll get there. Bones needs some TLC, and Jim needs to give it to him.

Thank you so much!

This is so wonderfully done. You hit every note right and really captured Leonard's conflict and inner turmoil, as well as how physical pain can really mess with your thought processes. Just beautiful.

So glad you finished this. It was beautifully written; everything from the dialogue to the physical descriptions to the emotional descriptions.

Excellent job.
