And this right here? The reason you are one of my favorite authors in the fandom. You always have that perfect mix of angst and sweetness. And the sex....well let's just say I need some time in my bunk. ;) Thanks for sharing!!

Lol, cut him some slack. He's a guy, guys are...different about those things. ;-)

Oooh, what a great prompt and a lovely fic! Poor Bones -- I can completely relate to blowing things out of proportion like that, but really, boys...just use your words. ;-) Enjoyed!

Well, you said it yourself - boys. They're not good with all that talking about their feelings. Thrilled that you enjoyed it, thanks a lot.

Oh, Bones! You know, guys in a relationship with each other is just frustrating. Stupid, stoic types. Of course, someone as perceptive, and outspoken, as Nyota was necessary to kick someone's ass.

Nicely done angst. I could totally relate to Bone's insecurities, especially as I age. We have to have faith in the love of our spouses to get us through those insecure times. And to learn that when someone falls asleep it just means they're tired and safe and comfortable after a really really bad day. :D

And then of course, the make-up sex is fabulous. Well done!

That was really the point about this prompt that got me, and I'm glad you pointed it out - Jim doesn't fall asleep out of malice or disinterest, but actually for good reasons - he's with the man he loves, he's safe, he's content. Oh yeah, and tired. And probably Bones should just make note of that with a smile and tease Jim a little about it later, but he's only human, and all-too insecure. It was really fun playing around with that.
Thrilled that you like it, bb, and that you thought it was realistic (I might be aging myself and can relate to that, but so far I'm doing it alone, so I was a bit insecure about the relationship details).
Thank you so much!
