There. Is that better? :)

You did an amazing job capturing the odd state of limbo they're in now.

Love it.

Isn't it kinda weird that they're still in limbo, only they're in a different kind of limbo, now?

Hmmm.

Thanks! :)

Bittersweet is the best way to describe them. I mean, he looked happy with Catherine and sad at the same time, like he didn't really want to be happy with someone other than Bones.

Thanks for giving this a positive spin because I felt a little heartsick at the end of the ep.

I think a part of him doesn't want to be happy with someone other than Brennan. But at the same time, that's not to say that there are other people in the world who can't make happy. I just... I think the level of happiness he gets from her is in a league of it's own you know?

So with Catherine, he can smile... laugh at her jokes and have a good time. But still. He doesn't get that feeling. Same with Brennan.

And I think there are subtle moments within the episode where you can see how hard that hits them.

I'm totally an incurable optimist, so of course, I'm optimistic after this episode. So I'm glad that I could give you a little bit of a pick-me up. That kinda made my night. :)

BP, I needed this so, so, so much after that episode.

You walk the line between reaching out and waiting so well here... perfectly... I want to squish them.

And you. ♥

billpickle April 23 2010, 06:01:11 UTC

I'm trying to keep the optimism going. What can I say? :)

You walk the line between reaching out and waiting so well here

How do you do that?

How do you always find words to render me completely flattered and humbled and... all these things.

I swear, Liz.

You have no idea. ♥

Um. When I'm down, I always go to read your fics.. so yeah. The feelings are mutual. :)

It's like they're playing with fire. I mean... I think it would absolutely break them if they were to spend time apart. And the way I see it? It would be practically impossible not to find optimism in the fact that despite everything, despite dates they are there, being (sort of) them because they can't help themselves.

With each other? That's where they belong and no matter what, they'll always have a piece of each other (if not more).

So yeah, Show is outdoing itself and Show is bringing it, crafting this beautiful thing.

But at the same time, I can't help but feel like Show is giving us hope.
