abuseGood Lord! Shortly after I started reading this, I planned on copying and pasting a couple favorite lines. I'm finding now that I can't do that because I love every.single.one.

And I really can believe that Booth has such a poet's heart, even if he is a big strapping guy's guy. There just always seems to be a total romantic fool hiding in David's performance, so I totally believe this.

It takes a lot to move me. It takes even more to move me to tears. Consider me moved. Powerfully.

Great job.

abusethis is absoultely excellent.. in fact it almost brought me to tears! the language you use to describe Booth's thoughts and feelings about brennan is beautiful, and the way you describe defining a name is so powerful.

this is really just incredible. great job!!

abuseI loved it! You did exactly what you set out to accomplish - showing the closeness between the two that the show just is hinting at. Excellent job!

abuseThat was really sweet. I wish they had done something like that on the show. They don't make Booth open up enough. I mean, I know he does sometimes, but more often than not, Brennan's the one. I was completely annoyed by the episode with Gormagon when he said to Cam that Brennan's feelings don't get hurt. How could he say that after getting to know her? I thought he was past making those sorts of comments about her. Goes to show that I know 'eh? Anyway, fics like this make up for it. Great job!

abuseyou are a lovely writer. i really enjoyed the story and the way you wrote it. also, i agree with your author's note at the end- i'm enjoying what they have now whether or not it one day becomes something more (which would be really nice too).

abuseWow I just wanted to say how much I loved this. Really, truly, it's one of the best pieces I've ever read on this site. True to character, moving. I wasn't sure about 1st person, for some reason I'm just not usually keen on it but it really worked. All those little things that he noticed about her, tiny things, but they all make her up. I loved it.

I pray for a guy to come along who thinks about me like this!

Well done xoxo

abuseStumbled across this...and am very glad to have done so. This is excellent...and absolutely works within the parameters defined by the show. Your descriptions of how Booth sees her and the understanding he has regarding Brennan are excellent...they really capture the essence of both characters. My favorite description though is the one about how Joy is too small a name...that she needs one a paragraph long...Perfect. Nicely done.

abuseGREAT! ABSOLUTELY! this was well written well thought out and simply breath-takingly beautiful... i love it...

my only thing is that the ending seemed a bit rushed... but beginnings and the endings are the hardest to write. especially me.

abuseThis was very, very good. I liked your interpretation. I personally would have written it differently, and that's what I liked so much about your version. It wasn't quite the same as anything else.

I also like that you have Booth and Brennan in a friendship light. It added a very calm, unpretentious vibe to the whole story. They work very well as friends, and you have presented them as such very very well.

I love Bones. The characters are spot-on. This is great work.

abuseYou see a lot more in this show than I do and I know I'm obsessed. I wish I could borrow your eyes for just an hour so I can see the things I love like you do. You really have a wonderful gift.

abuseThis was beautiful! What's in a name?...you've given us a glimpse into the name and mind and heart of Temperance Brennan as seen through the heart of Booth and you've captured both characters to perfection. Wonderfully written.

abuseoh my good god...okay, i just came here to leave you a message because you added me to your faves, but i saw, i read, and now i'm adding you to my faves. i can tell that your the type who only writes when truly inspired to do so, and by golly, i hang out for the inspiration. i'm a patient girl...um, mostly.

WOW!! this is powerful! i'm sorry that i didn't find it before, but lucky that i have now. the best answer on earth for "what's in a name?" and as poetic in its modern right!

beyond perfect is the description of tempe. amazing. i can't even pick a quote because they are all so precise. so right. well, heck, i can't resist the "striations of her soul"--now that is wonderful.

just keeping those doors open...soft words, right phrasing. perfect, of course, just as "our" booth is! lol. xo and you're on my list now!! THERE'S NO ESCAPE! sara
