This was honestly beautiful. The stripped down style just gives the whole thing an elegance that I would have never expected. I keep this in my bookmarks and re-read it from time to time. Thank you.

I love this version if Brennan and Booth-acknowledging they are different not that one is better or worse than the other. Also, the writing here is absolutely lovely.

Logging in requires effort, and I can't remember if I reviewed the first time I read this a year or two ago, but either way, I doubt you'll mind.

Loved it! The characters are spot on, and really, I can't picture Brennan being anything other than a bad ass kung-fu ninja, no matter how she grew up. :)

Wow. I loved this. I'm actually not a fan of most Bones fanfic; it's incredibly hard to get both Booth and Bones right in a way where they undeniably belong together. But this was perfect. It was so beautiful. I loved your way of writing. Sentences like this made this so amazing:

"Finding him, and catching his eye with a smile he knows he will forever remember with a little hitch.

The hour she first believes."

Thank you for writing this!

Wow. Your story was absolutely breath-taking. Words fail me, so I'll just say: very very beautifully written. My favorite lines (and really, there were so many it was hard to choose just a few, but I'll try):

-All the way down the hall before, oh!, understanding darts through her. Long and slim as an exclamation point.

-He spends the meal considering things that are probably nothing but the edge of fantasy.

-Traitorous relief surges through her. How do you magic up enough money to pay first, last, and movers? You turn the movers into pizza and beer. Abracadabra.

-She had not hesitated for a second before ripping that guys thumb out of its socket, and that had started an uncomfortable hum inside him.

-Booth feels an undeniable tug of pride. For her fierceness. For her emptiness of fear.

-the pure sex that is Booth's casually rolled shirt sleeves

-The space between them is exactly deep enough to drown in, as he waits to see if they are weights finding a fulcrum, or billiard balls caroming off each other.

And there were many more that I loved, but there is a limit to the length of reviews. Otherwise I might have cut and pasted the whole darn thing.

Like you, I enjoyed The End in the Beginning. I think it's a fun little AU story line and I really loved the way each character was used, especially Wendell (so stoic), Vincent, ("I'm English. We don't use tunes, we use our foreheads" and "I'm lovely") and Clark (his little turn and "C-Synch, baby!").

This is one of those stories that I feel like I need to read at least half a dozen times before I'll have caught each little detail and nuance. It was just positively lovely. And now I'm gushing. But it is certain'y Gush Worthy.

I read this a little bit ago and didn't review, which shame on me cause I detest lurking.

Someone brought up this story to me and I re-read and it's really quite beautiful and I should not be lazy so here I am.

It was hard at first to get used to the writing style because it's very unique but also very beautiful. You have a way of writing that's very poetic. At the end of this I wanted more of Bren and Mr. B. I can only imagine that crafting this took much time and effort as in my opinion, good writing takes both. Thanks!

I read this story a long time ago, and I think I left a review then. But there's a WIP right now about Booth waking up from a coma into his dream world, but he has the memories of our Booth, and I thought about this story again. I came back to read it again and I love it as much as I did when I first read it; this is hands down the best The End in the Beginning- inspired story that I've read.

I don't, as a rule, respond to requests for feedback, but this *was* fan-dam-tastic, I want more of the Lab'Verse, and I like that this is Booth, and Bren, yet not. Excellent addressing of Brennan's issues, of Booth's anger that isn't channeled into his job; at Angela being mediator and helper and secret-keeper. Lovely stuff.
Fourth Rose chapter 1 . 6/9/2011
This is just fantastic - I love the sparse style, and the vivid picture you manage to paint with just a few broad strokes. Awesome story, and one that I'll re-read many times!
whoiamnobodyknows chapter 1 . 5/14/2011
I've read this multiple times and it still takes my breath away from the perfect first line to the exquisite last one. Normally, I don't like major AU stories... but this is simply lovely, and I've come back to it several times. Thank you!
alicinna chapter 1 . 4/9/2011
Love this. The beautiful background story for The End in the Begining that I didn't even know I was craving! :) You have a lovely style and your characteristation of Bren in particular is lovely - so different, yet the same.
bantam-shine chapter 1 . 9/19/2010
This was fantastic. Loved your take on Booth & Brennan in the EitB universe. The dialogue, progression of their relationship, & interactions with our other favorite characters perfect.
Leara Fiera chapter 1 . 9/2/2010
Nice story. Different then most of the stories, I've read, but still amazing.
mystizan chapter 1 . 7/29/2010
I liked this. I've let it percolate thru my head over the past 24 hours & I really like it. I love that Caroline is still snarky, that Ange is artistic & perceptive, that Booth finds a way to give Bren proof. And I like the way u write things like

"near enough now that her exhalations are his inhalations." and Bren caring abt others' opinions like roaches care abt nuclear winter. lol.
