Very nice! You really captured what goes on in Brennan's head. Please write more!

[gatorjen]

Thanks so much! That's all I've got for now, but if inspiration strikes I'll definitely write some more. God knows I'd rather write Brennan than study for the bar, lol.

Great title and I loved the "(her hands are still stained crimson)" bit. :) Well done and well tied together. :)

[gatorjen]

Thank you! The only two things I knew for sure when I sat down to write this were the first line and the fact that I somehow wanted to use the idea of Brennan having Booth's blood on her hands and using that in her emotional progression, so I'm really glad you liked it.

I really love this. It is beautifully written - and yet somehow it feels very much a natural thought progression in her head.

Hey hey! Thanks, I think I identify way too much with Brennan and her emotional/vulnerability/allowing people to get close to her issues, so it wasn't too much of a stretch to get into her head.

I even got two of my RL friends to read it and even though only one of them watches the show (since I made her and now she really enjoys it), they both really liked this. My one friend actually said to me that it was like it *was* Brennan writing this, she thought it would be more like a neutral third party observer writing about her. I was like, it's supposed to be Brennan's thought process, it would be weird to write like I'm some omnipotent being watching and recording, lol.

Lovely! You did a really good job, especially for it being your first venture into writing! :)

Love the title, it fits really well! Really like all your descirptions with the shades of black and white and grey, I think it sounds exactly like what I'd imagine Brennan's head sounds like.

Beautiful style of writing, I really enjoyed reading this! I hope you'll continue to write! :D

[gatorjen]

Thanks so much for commenting! I suck at titles, so all the credit for it goes to my friend, otherwise it would have just been called Shades of Grey, lol.

Brennan is far and away my favorite character, probably because I identify with her so much, so I'm glad to hear it was believable.

I've been getting occasional murmurings in the back of my head which sounds suspiciously like Brennan wanting to talk again, so we'll see how that goes.

Your welcome! I suck at titles too, I am really bad at randomly coming up with things. :)

Yay! Would love to read more from you soon :)

Lovely! I certainly see, and embrace, her evolving! :)

[gatorjen]

Thanks! It's nice to look back and see how much she really has changed since S1, hopefully the writers don't muck it up next season.
