When you don't want to let someone love you completely because you are afraid to hurt them, and the hurt is out of your control.

"she was tired, but not the same type of tired that had been drowning her lately." Sometimes life just makes you so tired.

A bit of a song-fic to Oh My Dear by Tenth Avenue North "It was easier to think of them as collateral damage than people, but it took it's toll. Everyone had their breaking point."

""Can I help you, Dr. Brennan?" He said, his tone cold. Cold was better than nothing, at least cold implied emotion. She simply stared at him, and she knew why he was here. The same reason she was. There would be no sleep for him tonight." During TBWTA.

When the singing stops there's rain. A little One-Shot about Brennan, Booth,and that lovely voice of hers. Enjoy.

"And no matter of whether or not Dad was home or if he was tipsy or fall-on-his-ass drunk, he always snuck into her room in the middle of the night." Mind the rating. What's a little non-con between siblings?

"Dying like this was actually a terrifying thing. It wasn't like having a gun held to your head. Here you feel yourself slipping away." Rated M for suicide or attempted suicide. It's up to you.

"but right now she didn't need fine honed skills to tell that look on his face was pure devastation." Tragedy, Philadelphia, Booth, and Brennan

"Brennan had missed her chance. She said it herself. So why was it that now, he was looking into the eyes of another woman and seeing hers? When has 7 months ever enough time to get over someone?" sorry about the crappy title.
