Summary: Established BB. Brennan is haunted by memories of pain of the past, and as always, Booth is there to save her.
A/N: Yet another one of those fics that came to me when I was trying to sleep. Enjoy.
Chapter One: Buried Alive
The first time he became aware of what was happening, they had been together for a month.
He had grown accustomed to her always being beside him, her reassuring presence helping him to sleep.
His nightmares no longer haunted him as often.
Unfortunately, this was not so for her.
That first time, she'd tried to hide it, and she almost succeeded. But, as she tried to find her way to his bathroom in the dark, she stubbed her toe. And, since she was already trying to contain tears, that was the final straw.
Later, after he found her curled up on the floor next to the toilet, sobbing out her dream as he gently coaxed it out of her, the contents made him shiver.
She had dreamt of the time the Gravedigger had captured her and Hodgins. It was the anniversary of that fateful day. Booth could hardly believe that it had already been two years.
He reassured her of how safe she was, and eventually they fell asleep.
Granted they fell asleep on the floor of the bathroom, and awoke with horrible cricks in their necks, but Brennan could not mistake the healing properties of sleeping with her partner's arms wrapped tightly around her.
