A/N: Alright, this is the end. Hopefully it all ends up making sense.

Thanks again to Cindee and Tracy for the read-throughs and support, I appreciate it more than you know.

Epilogue

"I'm mostly sorry, you know." Angela half-smirked at Booth as they both stood in the kitchen of his and Brennan's home. She slid closer to his side and gripped his ( Read more... )

A/N: Okay, this is the last full chapter. Hopefully this makes sense, in the end. Epilogue to follow.

"You played us and an innocent man is in prison now."

Pelant grinned. "Well, he was. Didn't you hear? Kevin Franzen was killed in prison six months into his sentence."

"You're a monster."

Chapter Four

Pelant leaned back in his chair, not the least bit ( Read more... )

Chapter Three

Christopher Pelant was a genius, so he was already convinced that he knew what the next part would be before the words were spoken aloud. The best part about it was that Booth was actually playing right into what was Pelant's plan all along.

"I just need to know…why us?"

Pelant's face broke into a surprisingly sunny smile, marred only by ( Read more... )

Chapter Two

Booth stepped into the converted warehouse as if he didn't have a care in the world. He strolled around the debris, left in neat piles by whatever clean-up crew had been hired by the original owner and catalogued the entrances and exits of the bottom floor as he moved to the steel staircase that ran along one inner wall of the building.

A/N: Okay, so…this is my version of how the team gets Pelant. Yes, I know that as of Monday Pelant is gone one way or the other, and this took me *forever* to finish, but I'm getting it in under the wire. Barely.

Big, huge props to Tracy and Cindee for your *invaluable* help. They both read through this little ditty several times, Cindee caught ( Read more... )

*Originally posted November 6, 2010. Takes place early to mid-Season Six which means it contains Hannah. If you didn't like Hannah, don't take it out on me. I have no tolerance for those who cannot seem to move on from a character two seasons gone. You've been warned.

Temperance Brennan stared at Hannah Burley from across the table at Founding ( Read more... )

“Come on, Bones…are you telling me that you don’t even know what a bucket list is?” Booth shook his head as he tossed the house keys into the bowl next to the door, while simultaneously holding said door for Brennan as she carried the baby and diaper bag ( Read more... )

It wasn’t the first time Booth had ever been to the opera, but it was definitely going to be the last. He sighed quietly and chanced a look around the private box that Hodgins had reserved for their team, wondering how everyone could seem so enthralled after only ten minutes of what Booth would later describe as ( Read more... )

*Originally posted February 7, 2011 Don't ask me where the idea for this one came from. I don't know. :) What I do know is that I owe my lovely and talented beta, SkoleBone, for her literary contributions to this one shot...a line here and there, and the title...pure genius. Plus, I learned some really cool medical info. Score.

He doesn't remember…he thinks it was all a dream…

Brennan moved around her apartment, putting things back where they belonged, righting the pillows on the sofa, and picking up errant beer bottle labels. With a sigh she switched off the lamp and walked, resignedly, towards her bedroom.
