No Tags to any episode in particular, I was going to wait to post this but... couldn't.

Think of this as anyone new to their team observing, Cam, Sweets, one of the interns, a random third party we do not know,

There is something magical about watching them together. Whether they're interrogating viable suspects, or reading

over case files, or arguing about science vs. psychology, religion, sex, relationships, or social norms, there is something

magical about watching them together.

Sometimes it's hard to see how similar they truly are, considering how much they do argue, but then they click

together and run full speed ahead towards a common goal. Occasionally the end result hurts one or the other more than

normal; at times it's more personal, and you cannot hurt one without hurting the other.

I may not have realized how close they are when I first started here, but I know so much better now. I've seen as they

have lifted each other from the bottom of the holes their deepest fears create. I've seen as they have shared both their

darkest and happiest memories. I've seen how they have changed themselves and each other, and in doing so transformed

into the wonderful, considerate people they are today. I've come to understand so much more about them in my time

here.

I understand now that you do not get Booth without Brennan and Brennan without Booth. I understand when Booth

says Bones; he is referring to so much more than Brennan's nickname. Bones is them, Booth and Brennan together.

Because Brennan never had a nickname before Booth came along, and like their partnership, it was something she had to

come to accept and cherish. And while Booth may be accomplished at handing out nicknames, there has never been one

he has cherished so much, after all before he met Brennan he did not believe in partners or that forensics solved crimes.

Brennan would argue that there is no such thing as magic, it is a scientific improbability, but Booth would say there are

some things in life that we simply do not understand.

Some think Booth and Brennan should not work well together, but despite the opinions of others they do. And watching

them, Bones, together…

that is its own type of magic.
