Category: Mini-fic Post-finale Reaction
Rating: K

I never, never, never write mini-fic.  And I never, never, never write fic immediately after an ep.  But these few lines wouldn't leave my head. ( I reserve the right to re-use them for real fic in the future.)

SPOILERS for Bones Finale

++++++

Walking away from her is the hardest thing he’ll do this year.

Training men so young he sees Parker every time he looks into their eyes, knowing some of them won’t make it home, is hard. 

Cleaning sand from a weapon so it doesn’t fail in the face of an enemy that breathes to spill your blood, knowing your life and those of your comrades rests upon the removal of that sand, is hard.

Taking that first step onto the gritty tarmac at Ft. Bragg, the first humid breath of American air inhaled in a year, surrounded by families and waving flags and knowing there is not a face in the crowd for you, is hard.

But letting her hand, the fine bones belying the steel of her grip, slip from his, physically forcing himself to let go of the woman he loves, is the single most difficult act of his life. 

And yet he walks.
 
END

I'm really enjoying these little post ep drabbles that are coming out. I'm still not happy with the end of the episode, but you guys are starting to convince me that it might be okay how Hart and Co. left things.

You show us the Booth I love here - the strong and courageous man, the one who does what needs doing because it's the right thing (I LOVE this Booth!). Such loneliness and heartache for him, yet he does it anyway because that's who he is.

All I can say is that after this kind of heartbreak for him and loneliness for both of them, Hart better fix this in September or I may have to hunt him down and hurt him... ;)

A wonderful drabble. Thank you for sharing it with us...

Thanks :)

I love this Booth too. The strong Booth that can do what's best and right even if it breaks his heart.

That's how I feel about this whole re-joining the Army thing. I feel like it's the last thing he wants to do but is doing it anyway because it's the right thing.

Yeah HH &Co. better make it all better in Sept!
