Yeah, that was very well done. I like the way you kept the person's identity a surprise until the end. I actually thought it was Angela and then was pleasantly surprised when it was Brennan. I agree that it doesn't really answer the CPBC.

The first person perspective works really well with this. I thought this was going to be a run-of-mill Brennan realizes she loves Booth fics,(which I do love) so I'm pleasantly surprised it wasn't.

I like that you didn't solve what Brennan was "missing" in the end. But instead goes to Booth for help. And that he's as mystified and amazed by the paintings as she is.

My fav. passage: Then, a tick of the clock later – bam! I’m suddenly longing for these fragile, indefinable and relatively inconsequential aspects of someone else’s life with such force that it causes my chest to physically ache. It brings tears to my eyes to feel this suddenly gaping hole in the overall tapestry which represents my life.

Angela and Brennan are so different, that I've oftened wondered how they became best friends. For some reason, I think the passage above represents the thought that maybe Brennan doesn't know either.

Lovely!

My Dear Siapom,
Since we're not counting this as a true entry for this months challenge and NOT sure this falls into the catagory for April, But I only have one question hon...Yea, WHERE the HELL were you in FEBRUARY? LOL! THAT was ABSOLUTELY SPECTACULAR! You had me in the very first sentences..."It always happens when I'm least expecting it. This feeling. It crashes over me and leaves behind a shaken core of non-fulfillment." -OMG that was fantastic! And her asking at the end for him to help her work out a puzzle--AWESOME!! THE whole fic was just FAB!!

HOPE you're gettin all settled in!

Very good. I don't usually like first person pov, I think that's beause I want to know everything I can about what's going on and first pov is restrictive, but some stories (especially one shot introspectives) do ask for it. And I think this is one. Very nicely done. Not knowing who the character is until half way through is half the fun!
