( Bones Mini-Fic - Finale SPOILERS )

 

In the words of TT:

plz to be reading this

it's an intense!Booth fic, set early in the series (about the time Bones was with David) and about half of it is posted right now.  I believe there are 30 chapters total, and the original author's note indicates they are complete and just the posting of all of them remains.

Enjoy!

I know, it's been an ETERNITY since I posted a fic.  This little one-shot conversation just would leave me alone so ... enough stalling.  Here be fic:

 

( A Burden Shared is a Burden Halved )

britt1975 started this and I thought I'd add my two cents...

(There may be spoilers but probably just speculation).


♥ More Cam as Shipper Number One - Her little nudges - particularly to Booth - are always my favorite scenes.

♥ Jealous!Brennan - what can I say, I would love to see Booth go out on a hot date or two and Brennan be the one all wigged out and jealous. (but not with Perotta. I actually like her and I want someone we can all righteously dislike).

♥ Intense!Booth - DB was made to play moody and dark. It's in his DNA or something. The man can f'ing act and intense and/or emotional scenes would play to his strength more than the goof!Booth scenes we were subjected to this past year.

♥ Hodgins and Angela having to figure things out over time - The demise of that relationship was too quick and very bizarre. I'd like for them to actually act like a real couple and not just in one episode get back together and everything be perfect.

♥ Resolution for Zack - I can't go through another season thinking about him in that facility when he's innocent, and I'd like to see that storyline explored.

And more than anything, I'd love for an episode or storyline arc to grab me and compel me to start writing again. What we were given last season just left me uninspired.

First Thing:

** this is the most spoilery thing***

Has my f-list read this spoiler re: the finale, and if so what do we think?  HERE

I just don't know what to make of things, and every pre-conceived idea about what I expected to see is out the window.  For those that are spoiled, I'd love to hear your reactions.


Second Thing:

Fic Rec!!!  For fic that explores what we could very well see in the finale: Here by ygrawn 

**SPOILERS ****




I watched both eps back to back, so it feels like one long one.  This may be rambly - just a warning :)


- The last scene of 'Cinderella' was fantastic.  DH actually was watching with me and he loved her taking the bottle and giving him the glass.  He also admitted that he couldn't watch without staring at her boobs in that outfit. 

- I thought the Hodgins/Angela moment at the bar was really angsty goodness.  Those two are destined!  (PS - How did Wendell get such hot friends?)

-Who doesn't love Gordon Gordon? 

- Am I an idiot but which one of them is he saying is fighting the attraction?  I've always assumed Booth, but something about the last scene in Sweets office just seemed like it was her.  Maybe I'm just slow but it didn't seem obvious that it was one vs the other - it seemed like both of them are fighting it pretty hard.

- Her admission about the foster family broke my heart - loved that it broke Booth's too.  I thought he was going to cry. 

-I'm glad we found out more about Sweets, and this ep seemed like Wyatt was passing the torch to him, which I can live with now I think

- All in all, I loved the second ep and only liked the first.  I'm starting to get a feel for how they plan to have her character undergo some changes this season, leading up to the finale.  


What about everyone else?  

PS - Britt - read your rant and you go girl!   

I confess that I peeked at some ep reactions before actually watching so I was not as excited about watching as I am when totally unspoiled.  But, bias aside, here's what I thought: 

** The science was a little wonky - which is putting it nicely.  All of the alarms going off but no actuall "lockdown" actually taking place annoyed me.  No personal protective equipment, just random alarms. 

**It was actually nice to see Brennan want to learn what Booth does and sucking at it.  I liked the idea that maybe she can appreciate him more now. 

**The case was stupid.  really that all I can say about that.  As my DH says, "They're running out of weird sh*t to do with the bodies."

**I really like Tamara Taylor.  She's got great comedic timing and can make something good out of the dumbest scripts. 

** Hodgins being 'King of the Lab' doesn't work without Zack - it made me sad. 


So basically this is one that if I bought the Season 4 dvd I would skip.  There have been plenty I liked less, but this I feel nothing for really. meh.

Have had time to re-watch and digest - hope my ramble makes sense...


Spoilers up through 'Hero' .... (won't mention future spoilers TT!)


My favorite ep in a while, the action was great and this was low on the cheese scale.

Loved Booth's comments about Rebecca, and Parker.  Which of course led to my favorite line re:loving someone and not telling them :)

I've decided that just because Bones doesn't believe in ghosts, Cpl. Parker was still there and she could see him even though she didn't know he was a ghost.  Booth was the only one that knew that.  Plus, because of their connection she could see what Booth saw.  :)

Thrilled about Jared coming through at the end.  Booth deserved him putting his career on the line for him.

Violent!Bones is awesome.


My squee is totally back for this show.
