Oh, that's going to leave a mark.




Nicely done.

*curtsies* Thank you, Witchy.

Love the powerful but understated emotion here.

Thank you. Subtlety seemed appropriate here.

Whoa!

Excellently done, as usual....

As always, thank you. :)

oh wow. Both drabbles were good but this one was my fave, I think.

Thank you very much. Glad the sadness in this didn't drive you away. :)

Nice done. That was beautiful.

Thank you, Foxy. I suppose there's beauty in sadness sometimes.

Wow. That was in interesting little character piece. I loved the way Brennan served as his anchor. I was a little confused but in the way that you're meant to be, seeing as we don't know much about Booth's family and you have to fill in the blanks for yourself. But the ending wrapped it up really well.

Lovely job, as usual! *snuggles*

Thanks, sweets. If I can scrounge up the link, I'll post it, but I could swear I read somewhere that Booth's relationship with his father is difficult and contentious. I'm glad this still made sense to you, though.

Was present tense a deliberate choice? If so, it makes the sentiment of the moment timeless, while capturing that awful moment of realisation that we are not immortal. This is a really charged drabble and I love it.

I never used to write in present tense, but after playing with it in Lost and Found, I've used it in some, but not all, of my shorter fics. So in that sense, yes, it's deliberate.

We often think that there will be another day for us to make things right or say the things that need to be said. But no one's time here is infinite.

Thanks for letting me know you enjoyed this.

Amazing!
I felt the Intensity of the words.. awesome!

Glad you felt this one, Sara. Thanks for commenting!

Just had to say that I'm really enjoying your drabbles. This one, too, is great. It feels very in character.

Thanks, Tessa; glad you're enjoying reading these little drabbles. :) I'm getting a kick out of writing them.

I've so enjoyed seeing Booth and Brennan's relationship evolve over the course of their partnership. There's a genuine caring and understanding between them, and I only see that growing stronger with time. They lean on each other, and it's not just Brennan doing the leaning.

I like delving into Booth's darker side. He's human, just like Brennan, so he can't possibly be happy all the time. Like everyone else, he must have disappointments and fears, too. If the show won't dig a little deeper into those, well, there's always fic. ;)

I've rewatched all the eps that reference his father, and I haven't been able to pinpoint exactly their relationship. But I think you took it in a safe (IC) direction.

As I mentioned to someone else, I could swear I read somewhere that Booth's relationship with his dad is difficult and contentious. If I can figure out where I read that, I'll post a link. It's not mentioned in any of the eps that have been aired to date, though.

Thanks for taking the time to let me know you're enjoying reading my drabbles. :)

Awesome.

For just a while longer, he wants to hold tight to the image of his father laughing and patting shaving cream on his face; he keeps his eyes closed. He isn't ready to open them just yet and see his father in his face...or his father in his coffin.
So intense.

Besos

Thank you, my dear. Unfortunately, death waits for no one.

Sad, but beautiful.

Amazing as always!

Thank you, Melissa. I know this was sad, but I'm happy you enjoyed it nonetheless.

So sad and beautiful.
Thank you

Unfortunately, life and death are two sides of the same coin. :/

Thanks for reading and commenting; I'm thrilled you liked this. :)

Thanks, Piper. So you mean that you realized someone had died, but you weren't sure who it was until the end?

That hurts.. I like the silent support and how even if there wasn't anything she could say, she was still there. And somehow the image of Booth seeing his father in himself is very poignant. Nice job!

Thanks, Ren. Sometimes just being present is all you can do. :\
