Fabulous. Love the images, too.

I like your slow build here, just two guys out on the road. Have to laugh just a little at the in-depth, brilliant, cutting-edge medical discussion between guys who are camping out in the middle of nowhere under a tarp, though. Incongruity, and all that.

I'm glad the images are appreciated. <3 I have a personal adoration for genius!Jim and of course, provingHe'sADoctor!Bones, and so does sullacat so we just had to work it in somehow.

Great! I love the slow build, and the pics, and how this is all from jim's pov, how he's able to read fucked up even in his own sorry state. Their a couple of lost souls in the middle of nowhere, those two. Really enjoying this.

I'm glad people are liking the pictures! There were my last minute silly idea when I desperately wanted to have a picture of the sheep in the fic. I can't speak for sullacat on this, but I know I was a tiny hint worried the build up would be too slow, but since people are enjoying it I'm very grateful. ^^

Oh, I see epic in the works.

[salvaged_pride]

I hope it remains so for you!

Lovely second installment. You're right, it is a slow development, but OTOH it has that great road movie feeling (and I love road movies) :))) Keep them coming (uh, hopefully the boys too ;))

[salvaged_pride]

I'm not sure I know what OTOH means?

XDDD You'll have to stay tuned to find out if that happens! *brow waggle*

Thank you! We were definitely, however unintentionally at first, going for that great road movie feel, so it's awesome to hear someone mention that. <3

[syredronning]

OTOH = on the other hand :)

And I will stay tuned *G* I love well-done AUs / alternate takes on situations and will patiently wait to see if they still end in Starfleet :)

[salvaged_pride]

Ah! Makes sense now.

Look forward to future comments from you! ^_^

I love the journey that they're taking...gives them time to get to know each other. Must say that I also love how they're having intense, in-depth discussions about medicine sitting in the middle of nowhere...

When a genius and a doctor sit down and talk, it is either going to be about nonsense or anyone listening needs to work to keep up. *nods* Yes.

Thank you for the comment! ^_^
