This is really, really good. The things that stand out in my mind are the overall lyrical quality, callbacks to the S4 finale, rewrite of the S4 finale "book", an explanation for the sex after Vincent's death that is NOT comfort sex, and the new dedication.

I look forward to yuor next story.

And I need a beta because I mispelled 'your'

Heh, I forked out for an LJ Paid Account last week for the sole luxury of editing comments. I'm such a stickler for those things but I'm completely hopeless when it comes to these sometimes, so I completely understand!

I'm so so glad you liked this though, all of your particular comments were things that I'd wondered about, so it was great feedback to receive :)

You're welcome. Do you have other Bones fic on LJ? Don't remember if you said it was on FF.

Love how you weave S4 finale and present together and the lyrical quality of your writing.

eitoph June 1 2011, 14:50:28 UTC

Thank you :) The style is always something I fuss over, so I'm glad it came across well enough and the writing flowed in all the right ways!

This was fantastic. I loved the way you tied in Seasons 4 and 6 together. And Booth's explanation of Baby B was just adorable!

eitoph June 1 2011, 14:53:19 UTC

Hee, I was worried that little explanation was going to be too mushy, so it makes me so pleased to hear that you enjoyed :) Thank you for your lovely feedback ♥

I love how you made a connection to the them of S4 compared to the life they (want to) have now. Beautiful. Poignant. Definitely going into my favourites list!

Aw, thank you, these were all such lovely things to hear :) It's always kind of awesome to know that someone enjoyed enough to favourite :)

I'm so very grateful for this comment - thank you ♥ I do feel like although this season has been so hard to slog through at times, the change we've seen in Booth, Brennan and their relationship as a result has really been remarkable - the line you pointed out in particular really came from that and I'm so glad you appreciated it and pointed it out :)
