OK first of all? OMG MOAR Limone fic! *kills self dead in excitement*

..

Oh this was so so good. Straight into my memories because I just know I am going to want and need to read it again and again when the waiting-forS6-angst gets to me.

I love the format - splitting between D.C. flashbacks and Afghanistan/Indonesia - each setting crafted so well, btw, even those we don't know are so easy to picture, e.g.:

his son prattling on about little league practice pulls him out of the reality where rusty, old parts of tanks being turned into a fences makes perfect sense and where electricity and water can never be taken for granted.

I love the thought of Brennan longing for Booth in this year apart and realising a few things about her reality concerning him. Consequently this could very possibly be my most favourite thing you have anyone has ever written for BB:

It is time for breakfast in the part of the world where her minds strays from time to time. How could she explain to anyone how he feels closer if her watch is set to his time

*kills self dead in excitement* Please don't! That's about the worst idea I've heard since discovering someone tried to make fruit flavored crisps/chips.

I'm so glad you like the format, I wanted to try something new and really enjoyed writing it, but I wasn't sure how it would go down.

Consequently this could very possibly be my most favourite thing you have anyone has ever written for BB:

What could I possibly reply to that? Will settle for blushing. Wasn't sure if I should include that part at first...

As ever I ADORE your writing

Right back at you, bb ♥ ♥ ♥
I'm thrilled you liked this!

This is just amazing. I loved this line in particular:

She is a mother who hopes her child is still alive and they are here to take away her hope.

It's so...stark. She's not hiding behind the claim that they're helping her move on. That and the part about a parent with no child are heartbreaking. I also loved the ending :) Thank you so much for this.

[limone1]

Thank you for reading and letting me know what you think. I'm so glad you like this.

The line about hope popped into my head as I was writing, happy it worked for you. It's always interesting to find out what parts stand out to those who read.

I wanted a hopeful end. Wasn't sure if readers would like it or not, again I'm glad it worked for you :)

Loved it!

This. Breaks my heart a little.

"She goes home and reheats some leftovers and calls it dinner. Then she moves from room to room, sipping from the wineglass in her hand, picking up and putting back her cell phone. She tries to behave as if this is just like any other night, but the truth is she can't remember the last time she did not spend the evening with Booth after the kind of day they have just had."

But this makes it better.

""I can't promise you fifty years," she begins."

Thank you for this! And an extra Thank You for not having spoilers. This is the very first time I am going completely spoiler-free; it’s killing me, so thanks for writing something I can read.

[limone1]

Thank you for reading and taking the time to let me know what you think.

The part about Brennan going home was one of the first parts I wrote, glad you noticed it.

I've always been spoiler free (except for when I've stumbled on something by mistake) so anything I write should be safe to read.

Jeez,but this was excellent. Characterization and dialogue were spot-on; I could SEE them talking, dancing, etc. It read like watching an episode, if that makes sense.

IOW: I wish that we see this in Season 6's premiere. (We probably won't, but I wish we would.)

[limone1]

Thrilled you like this and that the characterization worked. I envision things as I write so it's a great compliment that you could actually see things and that it read like watching an episode.

Dialogue, the thing that almost made me not write ff. It was a question of "Oh no, I'm going to have to write dialogue!" But it was also what made me do it, I like challenges.

Happy you like my take on what's next. I'm spoiler free, but I doubt I got it right.

Stunning as always, bb. Loved Pops--he always gives the best advice.
Another favorite part is about there being no word for a childless parent. Heartbreaking.
Oreos and Lifesavers. Watch set on his time.
And the ending is perfection.

[limone1]

Happy you like this and that you like Pops. I don't think I've written him before (I had him be dead in the first fic I wrote, it was long before he was introduced on the show.)

Thank you for telling me what parts you like, always interesting to hear what stands out to readers.
