I was wondering what the card game was if you don't mind telling me.

It's been over seven years since you wrote this story, but I just want to let you know how much I enjoyed reading plot was executed really well. Not overly dramatic. The emotions felt real, and felt very much in-character. Excellent attention to detail. You can really tell you put in a lot of time researching :) The ending was just perfect. How they got together was really sweet and very natural. And I agree with previous comments, there was a bit of predicting the future here ;) Really well done overall. Glad I found this little gem!

Glad that you didn't kill Bones P

Oh man cliffhanger! Where's Max in all of this? Or is this before Max was cleared?

I really liked this chapter! Great story so far

Awesome story in character for the situations that occur

I wouldn't really call this much of a romance, they don't even seem that close

Ok I know u wrote this in 2008 so u probably don't even check ur reviews anymore and I shouldve been in bed hours ago but I kept telling myself 'just one more chapter' :) I don't have tv channels so I watch seasons and I just got sucked into bones last week since my mom has been trying to get me into watching this new season for some time now. Funny how she had only the first 3 which now I'm waiting for 4 & 5 in the mail with great excitement! I just finished season 3 the other day but needing a sort of 'bones fix' I peroused the Internet and came across this story. I gotta say besides graphic novels I'm not much of a reader but the way this was written it felt like a few episodes of Bones and I'm glad to say it has been my 'drug' for the last two days! I really applaud u on this great writ it was extremely well written and ur take on Brennan and Bones was clearly researched and well known! I especially like the fact this story basically takes off from where I just finished watching so all the little jokes and references were still fresh in my mind. One last thing before I get off to bed.. Thanks for that last chapter :P I read ahead in the future seasons to know when they get together but I had my fingers crossed u would throw something in at the end :) Again, excellent job! And if u have written any more I'd love a link!

I really really enjoy reading this story and let me say that it is another one of my faovrites and I can't wait to read what else you have written. Great job!

Wow! Second time reading this and love it even more. I wish you would write more.

My fav chapter so far!

Finished product awesomeness!

: )

I'm glad you added case elements - it would have been heavy without it. Besides, I think it provides an even broader backdrop for character growth & development. I'm still thoroughly enjoying this story - so glad I stumbled across it!

As requested here is a review to say 'I like it!' Actually I more than like it, I think this is a great story! Your writing flows well and is of a high standard and your characterisations are spot on. Thank you! I know it's four years after the fact, but I thought you should know.

I really enjoyed the drama of this story. It had me nearly in tears a couple times. Just...so...beautiful. I do have a few tips that could make it better. I think you could really utilize Hodgins and Zach and even Cam more in the story. Zach is only used as a stand-in for Brennan. I do think that he and his mentor have a very close relationship, so there could've been a few interactions between Zach and Brennan. I also think that Hodgins and the good doctor have some friendship. I liked the scene in this chapter of them talking about the letters they'd written. It was a good scene, but I feel like they should've had moments like that earlier. Cam and Brennan aren't as close, but I do think that they would at least talk and have some sort of friendship scene between them if this scenario happened. Angela was used incredibly well. Brennan did need a female friend to help her through this troublesome time and I think you wrote Angela's character well (Only she would still annoy Brennan about Booth when she's been sick). Booth, of course, is ever-gallant and well-written. I wish more guys were like that hahaha. But he was also used well. I did enjoy the introduction of Clara. Brennan's maternal instincts really seemed to go into action when she found out about this girl's illness. I think Brennan would be different in the hospital though. I think she might've been asking more questions or something. She always wants to learn. Maybe if you'd fit in a few scenes between her and the doctors. Anyway, this is a truly great story. I enjoyed reading it a LOT. Thanks for bringing it to fanfiction!
