Bones fanfiction - Giving Up Giving In

[hpaich]

My tag for Princess and the Pear. Okay. I didn't really like this last episode as much as some others, and I was a little peeved. So, this was my way of dealing with that - it's what I wish had REALLY happened at the end of the show. A bit angst-y, a bit BB. I do hope you enjoy it.

Title: Giving Up Giving In
Rating: T
Genre: Angst/Romance

Lovely! This line, in particular stood out to me:

“You know, you’re really good at running and hiding, Bones. But I’m way better at tracking. Do you really think I won't find you if you run?”

Something about it just... rawr.

“One heart, Bones. One heart.”

Thank you so much!

My heart hurt for her after this episode - this fic is exactly how I would have felt if I were her. Just - raw, and hurt, and ready to immediately bow out, to duck and run. To leave before being told to leave. I think her time as a foster child left her unable to handle rejection, when it's someone about who she truly cares.

Thank you taking the time to read, sweetie - I very much appreciate it!

I think that sometimes, and this episode is a prime example, the writers play the comedy at the expense of the B/B relationship. Yeah, it was funny with Booth all WTF? and alone, but at the same time it was a very unfulfilling tag. And b/c we *know* that he would go after her, it rang false to just leave it there.

I've been trying to stay away from reading fic too much (for the sake of studying. GOD I can't wait for this to be over and done with) but being bad is good when I get to read fic like this :-)

AW - thank you again!

Did he draw the line for me? At first, I thought he did, because he was attracted. Now, I think - I think he drew it for me. Because he’s not.

Ooooh, interesting thought! I like that little distinction :)

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!

Also, thanks for taking the time to comment - it is very much appreciated.

I absolutely LOVE it when I crawl out of bed in the morning, check and LJ and see that you have updated. Pretty much starts my day off right. So, I made some breakfast and plopped back in front of my computer to eat and enjoy your brilliance.

I love how you turned the end result of such a 'blah' episode into something heartfelt and meaningful. I disliked the ending to the episode itself, but the way you caught Brennan's raw emotion as a result of that skank...er...Perotta being with Booth was phenomenal. We all know she was feeling like this, why didn't they just show it?

When did he gain such control over me? When did I begin to allow it?
Such truth here. I think she has always known this in the back of her mind, but only until S4 did she begin to let it come to the surface. The fact that Brennan stopped when Booth asked her to was a monumental leap from where they began, and as usual, you captured it perfectly here.

He takes the last step, bringing his body flush with mine, and slides his arms gently around my waist,

Well, I absolutely love it when I get email, and it's a big fat review from you! You give good review, baby, haha!

I writhed when I watched the end of that ep! I was SO uncomfortable with stupid Perotta being here - my first instinct was to RUN, and I wasn't even there! The whole thing was born out of that.

Oh, sigh. When he touches her, when he ASKS to touch her, we all know it's not just the physical he's talking about. What a WONDERFUL GUY!

So glad you enjoyed it, and as always thank you so much for your kind words.

Aw, I love this piece the first time I read it, still love it after reading again.

Hope your father gets better soon, and.. well, it's hard wishing your job lays down a few hours, because it's a little unlikely, but I must say I feel your pain, friend.

And don't worry, whenever you can update, I'm sure we all will be happy. Don't feel bad, I mean... life happens, there's no way else to explain it. ˆˆ

I am hopeful that I might get some breathing room soon - maybe I will be able to get my update mojo going.

Thanks for your good wishes - hopefully they will work!

Aww "One heart" that was so sweet!

[hpaich]

Thank you very much!

He always knows the right thing to say. WHERE DO I FIND ONE OF THOSE????
