Author's Note: I just love drabbles and one-shots – I think that they're basically an art form. And what better to indulge in a variety of moods, many of which can't be sustained in a multi-chapter fic (at least not coherently)? Not to speak about the fact that I need to drag myself out of a mild case of writer's block on How I Measure My Time.
So... I give you this – a series of drabbles on a variety of characters on Bones. Make what you wish of them – but I hope you like them.
Timeline: Season 4.
Disclaimer: Not mine.
What I See
Pleasure – forgotten so much sooner than pain.
So many cups of coffee, a million words and laughter flying between them, heads tilting in unison, everything that feels good.
But when she looks at the man before her, all she sees is pain (blood trickling between her fingers, now he sleeps without end).
I will not see this! something inside her cries out – loud – louder – so loud that this is all she can hear for days and weeks and months.

Pleasure – so much more difficult to forget than pain.
Everything between them, closeness and arguments and laughter and coffee, so much coffee.
But when he looks at the woman before him, all he sees is silence (and no, she won't be attending his next funeral).
I will not see this! something inside him says – loud – louder, for days and weeks and months.
Well, that's some of the angst taken care of. I'll continue with these at somewhat irregular intervals, that is, when the inspiration condescends to hit.
In the meantime, I should get back to my other story, right?
Please review and tell me what you think!
