Katherine

Age: 15

Description:

Daughter of Sunny and Aubrey. Lives in Faraway Town where she resides in her father's childhood home, often helping her mother and father with the household chores. Currently enrolled on the same high school her Aunt Mari went to.

Background:

Katherine was born on March 24 in the Town of Faraway and like any other kid she experienced a normal childhood growing up, enjoying many activities like drawing, playing, going to school, and spending time with her loving parent's.

At a family event with her parent's old childhood friendgroup she met Kel and Hero's younger sister, Sally, and the two quickly became friends after a few interactions. Katherine and Sally would soon formed a friendgroup 3 days after the start of their friendship.

During most of her childhood, Katherine had been told many stories about her Aunt Mari and how kind and joyful she was back when her parent's were children's. Sometimes she would get vivid dreams of her Aunt sitting on a picnic blanket waving and calling her to come to her picnic and have fun with her. Even though she didn't understand the meaning of the dreams, she felt happy spending time with her Aunt even if it was in the form of a dream.

At the age of 15, Katherine enrolled on the same high school her Aunt Mari went to where she's currently studyin in. She has moments where school becomes tough for her but try's her best to complete some of the difficult assignments and she has her parent's and friends to help her out when things get tough.

Katherine plans to go to college upon graduating from high school and study there for a job that fits with her skills.

Appearance:

Katherine inherited most of her mother's features with the exception of her hair which she inherited from her father. She somewhat resembles her Aunt Mari in terms of her long black hair and a few similar features, but the rest she's different.

At school, she wears a variant of a Japanese Saifuku, sporting long sleeves, a red skirt, and a yellow bow, along with a pair of flats or sneakers.

At Home, she wears a T-shirt or Sweater depending on the climate, with either a skirt or jeans, and a pair of flip-flops for a more comfortable style.

Outside she wears a variety of clothes, ranging from dresses to other casual outfits, sometimes wearing her Saifuku around the town in rare occasions.

Personality:

She likes to spend time with her friends and parent's, and always likes to help people whenever they need it. She's understanding of people's feelings, something she learned from her Mother to never interpret other people's reaction in the wrong way and to always listen to them before acting.

Very talkative and doesn't shy away from starting conversations to talk about interesting topics, really eager to learn new things.

She can be a perfectionist at times just like her Aunt, thinking that everything should be done correctly without any errors or mistakes. This had lead to moments of frustation and shame when things didn't go her way, but with her parent's guidance she learns to accept that it was okay to make mistakes and not being too harsh on herself if she didn't succeed on the first try.

Hobbies:

-Going out with her friends

-Art (inspired by her father's paintings)

-Sports (likes to play Tennis)

-Reading (Books, Comics, Novels, Manga's,ect)

-Watch TV

-Gardening (learned from her father's friend, Basil)

-Spending time with her family

(Note:

Search for "Female Names List" to look for a name since is hard to come up with one alone.

Wanted to choose in naming her Grace or Angela, heck even named her after Mari, but then decided to go with Katherine as her name instead.)

Hey you did very well with this!

I really like how parts of her still somewhat resemble Mari

Just finished all of Bones, and although I don't hate the ending, I do have some issues. 1. Angela and Hodgins should have had the opportunity to go to Paris and live there, it would have been the perfect ending, especially since Jack himself had a major freakout about his pregnant wife getting flung into a wall, which would happen way less in France (But props for making him King of the Lab officially), 2. Zach being freed is honestly yes. I approve. But also, the fact that they do make clear that at some point Sweets was his only visitor every week till the day he died, and his death affected him so much that he then permanently scarred his head, I mean, Zach and Sweets had some friendship supremacy, especially since Hodgins appears to go from not caring he was a murderer, to being all I hate him arghh, and then proving his innocence as if OG Jack would have even cared if he was a psycho cus they were best friends, which they then try to hint at again with them being besties when they're doing the montage at the end, 3. Bones should have quit. She wanted to. We all know it. She was even aware of it. She quit once before and honestly her and Booths relationship seemed to have improved whilst they were both vibing with their kids. And you're not telling me after she lost her father, and her and Booth both nearly die twice in the last episode that she wouldn't re-evaluate everything and want her children to grow up with both parents, and not want them to be abandoned like hers did to her, and also not want her kids to be in danger anymore. The amount of times her and her kids have been targeted for either her or Booths job is insane and she is much too smart to just allow that to continue. She would quit so fast, and Booth would too, with Aubrey there to take over his place, and they would go live in LA or wherever it was that Booth wanted to go to get the higher paying security job. Or they could just both quit and live off of Bone's book money, because let's face it she's loaded, and they have no need to work. They could pursue all of their hobbies and actually be present in their kids life, which as we are well aware is not all that much at this point because they just appear to leave their kids with random FBI agents. 4 Aubrey makes sense, although Jessica breaking up with him :(( I liked them together but hey, I can understand this. 5. Cam and Aristoo would 500% not return to the Jeffersonian after their 6 month leave, because they'll realise that they like not being blown up, and that it would actually be really stupid to both work in the same place, at a dangerous job, when they now have 4 kids to look after. That'd be dumb, and nobody would be expected to go back to work if the risk is that their kids grow up parentless and in foster care, that'd just be dumb *cough Bones and Booth cough Angela and Jack cough*.

Anyways, the finale gets 4/10, overall, and mostly because I liked how it tied up all their loose ends, Bones gets 7/10.

[writerwithfluffysocks]

Okay but like I want a lockdown episode of Bones.

I want to see Brennan frustrated that she can't go to the lab and putting energy into writing as an outlet.

I want Booth trying to wrangle the kids, missing Parker and videoing him whilst he turns their whole house into a massive adventure fort before dragging Bones away from her laptop to show her what he, Christine and Hank have created. Bones will naturally point out the structurally flaws and join in making it bigger and better than before much to everyone's delight.

I want Angela trying to teach Michael Vincent to paint in the garden to past the time whilst Hodgins builds his own creature farm in the back garden.

I want Cam and Aristoo tackling being new parents whilst dealing with being stuck in the house. Bonus points for the tornado of chaos three rowdy boys will bring.

I want to see each of the squints missing their lab time and facetiming each other to share their favourite lab stories and cases.

I want Aubrey missing all the food and deciding to try his hand at cooking. He sends all the food pictures of his handy work to Booth. Booth hates it but he doesn't really.

I just really want a lockdown episode, okay?

 ‧͙⁺˚*･༓☾ BONES STAR TREK AU

because i have no self-control, i came up with a star trek au for the whole bones main cast ( instead of just zack ). here’s the info on each of the characters as well as the general plot overview !!

all images made from this picrew here

Captain Saroyan Camille (Bajoran)

One of the first Bajorans in Starfleet, Cam is the Captain of the USS Jeffersonian. Though she is a skilled and capable Captain, her foundation and extensive experience is the sciences, making her an ideal candidate to command a specialized research ship.

Commander James Aubrey (Trill)

Previously working for Starfleet Intelligence as a ground operative, Aubrey was assigned to the USS Jeffersonian as the first officer. Aubrey is not joined, because he was both too young (and impatient) and volatile. Rather than continuing to try to pursue a career in science or diplomacy as he was originally going to, he changed course. He hasn’t been out in space in quite a few years, and considering the fact that he is neither a scientist nor an anthropologist, no one is quite sure why he was assigned to this particular ship.

Lieutenant Angela Montenegro (Betazoid)

A brilliant engineer and one of the creators of the holodeck, Angela currently serves on the USS Jeffersonian, the first ship to use that technology, in order to test and troubleshoot. She’s also an incredibly talented artist. 

Lieutenant Jack th’Hodgins (Andorian)

An Entomologist, Botanist, and Mineralogist on the USS Jeffersonian. He comes from a powerful Andorian family but he’s the last survivor and tends to keep that information to himself. He’s also the only from his family to serve in Starfleet. (Also please pardon the very non-Andorian name. I just..... don’t want to change it.)

Ensign Sivath Aloran Sasak “Zack” Addy (Vulcan)

An anthropologist on the USS Jeffersonian. Zack was raised on Earth by a human family after his parents were killed, but he attended the Vulcan Science Academy before joining Starfleet. He has both vulcan and human mannerisms as a result of his mixed upbringing. In addition to anthropology, Zack also has a degree in applied engineering.

Dr. Lance Sweets (El-Aurian)

Sweets is the counselor on the USS Jeffersonian. He is a civilian, commissioned to serve on this Starfleet vessel. His assignment was supposed to be temporary but he ended up sticking around for the long haul.

Captain Seeley Booth (Human)

Booth works for Starfleet Intelligence. He used to be a member of Section 31 but for undisclosed reasons he left the organization. Now, he‘s in charge of handling major cases and breaches of security from Earth. Aubrey is his protégé.

Dr. Temperance Brennan (Human)

Brennan is the best forensic anthropologist on Earth, if not in the galaxy. She’s studied more species than anyone else. She isn’t Starfleet, but she often works with Starfleet Intelligence and teaches anthropology courses at the Academy. She’s also Zack‘s mentor.

About the ship: The USS Jeffersonian is not a new vessel. It’s actually a historical artifact from the early days of United Earth, which has been updated and repurposed for scientific and cultural exploration. It is also the first ship to utilize holodeck technology.

About the mission: The USS Jeffersonian’s mission is to explore uninhabited planets and parts of the galaxy to determine whether or not these areas are habitable and if life once existed there in the past. Though intended to be a five-year mission, it turns into twelve.

The plot: During repairs to the holodeck, Angela finds a skeleton hidden in the bulkhead. Zack identifies the body as a Vulcan Ambassador who went missing over 100 years ago. Brennan and Booth are called in to investigate, only to discover the Ambassador was actually Romulan. Now, they have to figure out who she actually was, how she died, what her body was doing within the walls of a Starship, and now she managed to hide her true identity for so long.

do you know anyone who has two children with the same name? Yeah, it’s common-ish here. Some parents would give their kids a certain common name. An example would be my friend Blanch, who told me she and her cousins all have ‘Marie’ as second names.

have you ever read twilight? Yeah, but I loved the movies more. I liked the books as an 11 year old, but the more I grew up the more I found Stephenie Meyer’s writing to be meh – dialogue was super cheesy, she painted Bella to be such a horny 17 year old, and she used the same adjectives and adverbs throughout the four books. They did kick it up a notch for the movies which is why I love them a lot more; and they didn’t fuck around with the soundtracks either.

when was the last time you went miniature golfing? I’ve never done that. I don’t think we have places for that here either? lol Filipinos aren’t too big on golf.

how many followers do you have? A little over 180.

what do you get complimented the most on? Mostly on my skills – I get compliments on my writing, copyediting, and public speaking. I also get ones on my outfits and overall figure.

what’s a song you like from a genre you hate? Need You Now - Lady Antebellum

if you had twin girls what would you name them? I’ve never planned on this cause twins don’t run in my family, but the first pair of names I thought of that sounded nice was Alessandra and Cassandra.

what kind of sunglasses do you have? I don’t have a pair that I use often, honestly. I don’t like how my vision turns blackish or brownish whenever I wear them.

what kind of underwear do you wear? Right now I have on a yellow cotton one.

what do you think of dreadlocks? Wear them only if you’re allowed to.

what kind of condoms do you use? I don’t.

do you say years young or years old [ex: 16 years young or 16 years old]? Years old.

what is your favorite scent for candles? I don’t use candles. I’d probs invest on them if I had extra money to spend but for now I don’t, so. I imagine liking sweeter scents though, nothing nature-ish.

do you have any personality disorders? I’ve always had an inkling that I have BPD, but I’ve never gotten myself checked.

do you have any special talents? It’s more of a skill than a talent but I’m quite good at memorizing stuff. Whole paragraphs, a constitution, items on a list, speeches, etc. It’s why I find memorization-based subjects to be more fun, like history and biology haha.

do you shave your arms? I shave under them, but not the whole arm. < Yeah, same.

what did you last take a picture of? It’s a photo of me and Cooper. I wanna do that thing where you take photos of you and your dog once a month in their first year to see how much they’ll grow, so I had taken the photo for the month of June.

what do you dip your fries in?   Mayonnaise.

did you ever have the new chocolate skittles? Omg so like M&Ms? Hahaha. I haven’t though, and never even knew they made those.

has one of your good friends ever moved away? For sure. A lot of Filipinos migrate for greener pastures. Andi moved to somewhere in New Zealand, Angel to Toronto, Aubrey to California, and now Arlan’s gonna have to move to New York since he got accepted to Columbia...

have you ever played bloons on gamefudge.com? I have no idea what this question just said.

what kind of water do you drink? I dunno...plain? We get our water from a water refilling station in the nearby village.

what color car are you when you play the game of life? I’ve never played that before.

would you rather have a zune or ipod? I had an iPod. I’m not sure I know what a Zune is.

which hair color do you find the ugliest? Ugly is a harsh word, but I personally wouldn’t dye my hair bright yellow.

what pisses you off more than anything? Boomers who throw a fit every time someone disagrees with them or if a younger person stands up to them.

would you date a guy that wears more make-up than you do? It wouldn’t bother me.

what celebrity do you think is really, really ugly? Honest to whatever-god-exists-out-there, I’ve never looked at a celebrity and had my brain say they’re ugly. Noah Centineo pisses me off though, but it’s solely because of the fact that he’s famous.

did you ever play mash when you were little? No.

if you were getting married, who would be your maid of honor? Angela.

DEVYN XAVIER-LEHNSHERR, our COURTNEY EATON fc is looking for a BIRTH MOTHER connection who looks like PLAYER’S CHOICE who is 45+YEARS OLD. you CAN contact prior to applying at queenofillusionsx. (Devyn’s birth mom is a closeted mutant who was scared of having a child in case they grew to be one. When Dev was born with lilac eyes, there was no mistaking what she was, so her parents gave her up. Now she is at Paragon to make amends, but it is the one topic she gets angry at so she won’t be happy.)

DINAH PRYDE, our KIERSEY CLEMONS fc is, looking for a OLDER BROTHER (FULL OR HALF, CAN ALSO BE ADOPTED !! ) connection who looks like UTP (MUST BE AT LEAST HALF BLACK IF A SIBLING VIA KITTY OR FULL SIBLING) who is 24+ you DON’T have to contact prior to applying. ( not to be a cliche heaux but uh give me an overprotective older brother who dinah adores pls )

EMMA FROST, our KATIE CASSIDY fc is looking for her TRIPLETS WITH SCOTT SUMMERS / TWO BIOLOGICAL, ONE ADOPTIVE connection who look like DAYA, LIZA KOSHY, SAFIYA NYGAARD, SEBASTIAN DE SOUZA, HARRIS J, ANY HALF-INDIAN FC IF BIOLOGICAL / RHENZY FELIZ, HAYLEY LAW, ARIELA BARER, ANY FC OF COLOR IF ADOPTIVE who are 16-19 YEARS OLD, 22 OR 24+ YEARS OLD. you DON’T have to contact prior to applying. ( did u know that in an alternate universe scott & emma had five beautiful lil babies? bc they did. and with a tweak. that is what this wc is for. the frost-summers triplets would have prob had a psychic hive mind to rival the cuckoos if an attack hadn’t sent emma into early labour, resulting in one of them not surviving. the decision to adopt a baby in need of a loving home and complete the otherwise ruined trio? not an easy one to make, lets be real, but it was MADE, and the three have been raised as siblings from minute one. emma loves her babies. pls. give them to her. ) ( rohen frost-summers & open for two more ( bio ) )

ETIENNE BEAUBIER-JINADU, our ARIA SHAHGHASEMI fc is looking for a SIBLING connection who looks like NIKOHL BOOSHERI, TALA ASHE, YARA SHAHIDI, REECE KING, HAILEE STEINFELD, LALISA MANOBAN, MANNY MONTANA / PART IRANIAN IF BIO who is ANY AGE you DON’T have to contact prior to applying. ( the siblings were born in canada - their parents were good people but did the wrong things that got the siblings taken away from their parents. the two were together for awhile in foster care but were eventually separated into two different homes. etienne was eventually adopted into a loving family but it’s up to you what happened to the other sibling after they got separated! they were raised together. took care of each other. for awhile, all they knew was each other. they’re both mutants and their powers kind of reflect thanatos + hypnos, where tye is hypnos and the sibling has death-related powers like thanatos. the sibling can be half, full, adopted, fostered - whatever works. his url is svmnium if you wanna discuss things further! )

FABIAN TODD, our BOB MORLEY fc is looking for a BIO SIBLINGS ( 3 ) connection who looks like LIZA SOBERNO, JAMES REID, PARIS BERELC, KELSEY MERRITT, NICOLE ANDERSON, ASHLEY ARGOTA / ANY RELEVANT FC who is 18-25 you DON’T have to contact prior to applying. ( so they’re kids of mario falcone + his wife, though fabian doesn’t know it and doesn’t know they’re siblings because fabian was left in an alley not long after they’re birth. they probably won’t know that fabian is their sibling unless they became part of the crime amd mob part of their family,,, which would be really cool imo. )

NADIA KYLE, our ANA DE ARMAS fc is looking for a HALF SIBLING / CHILD OF TED GRANT & QUEEN HIPPOLYTA connection who looks like BLAKE JENNER, CASSADEE POPE, ODETTE ANNABLE / ANY HALF CUBAN, HALF WHITE FC who is YOUNGER or OLDER THAN 30. you DON’T have to contact prior to applying. ( correct me if i’m wrong, but a child of ted “wildcat” grant and queen hippolyta of the amazons is… pretty hot, and i’d love to see them around the place ! this one is fun, because nadia has SUCH an appreciation for strong women as someone who was surrounded by them her whole life, and while this doesn’t mean she’s directly connected to wonderfam, it does mean she likes to think that she is, and probably cites herself as being “five percent wonder woman”. i’d like to think that while her relationship with thomas is more on the strained side - as he remembers her as her true self better than this version she’s become - there’s a chance she’s made more of an effort, here, out of sheer respect for their mother, and as such… means they could be MUCH closer, which is a dynamic that i’m here for. )

NADIA KYLE, our ANA DE ARMAS fc is looking for an OLDER HALF SIBLING / THOMAS BRONSON connection who looks like ANY FC AT LEAST HALF CUBAN who is 35+. you DON’T have to contact prior to applying. ( where thomas really followed in ted’s footsteps… nadia really tried to become her mother, version 2, and that - i think - makes for a pretty interesting sibling dynamic. one is textbook good. the other… morally grey, at the best of times. i’m sure there’s love shared, but nadia didn’t really grow up around many males, either - especially not a lot who were older than her and related to her, so i imagine that she’s spent a great deal of time trying to outdo him. who’s to say she has? her relationship with thomas is probably about as strained as a sibling relationship she has could be, and i’m… so into it. )

NADIA KYLE, our ANA DE ARMAS fc is looking for her MOTHER / SELINA KYLE who looks like MELISSA FUMERO, JOANNA GARCIA / ANY CUBAN FC who is OLD ENOUGH. you DON’T have to contact prior to applying. ( it may be a little cliche, all considered - but there’s a reason that nadia has become the person that she is today, and that reason… is selina. the love she has for her mother, and the idolization that she’s always felt towards her, is unmatched. nadia’s upbringing was unique in that it wasn’t just isolated to selina & ted. rather, it was a combined effort of selina, ted, holly, eiko - and everyone had a huge role, but no one really ever outshone her mother. she’s always wanted to emulate her, because in nadia’s eyes, there’s no one better - and while she’s made mistakes in coming down this road, and while she’s done things that even selina probably can’t be proud of… it’s all been in hopes of both… being half the woman that her mother is, and being someone that selina is proud of. )

NAOMI DANE-SUMMERS, our NAOMI SCOTT  fc is looking for a TWIN connection who looks like AVAN JOGIA, ALIA BHATT, GERALDINE VISWANATHAN, JESSSE RATH, KELLY GALE, SEBASTIAN DE SOUZA, LIZA KOSHY / ANY FACE CLAIM, who is 23 YEARS OLD. you DON’T have to contact prior to applying. ( these two have always been close and taken care of each other. naomi’s about 30 minutes older than this twin, she was born on dec 31st and they were born on january 1st. think wanda & pietro as kids. they really just understood each other and have been attached at the hip since they could remember. naomi’s very introverted so it would be nice if the twin was more of an extrovert - but personality and everything is up to you! only requirement is that if they have a mutant hair color that it’s not green - so pink, purple, blue, white, etc - all very cool! )

NAOMI DANE-SUMMERS, our NAOMI SCOTT fc is looking for a YOUNGER SIBLING connection who looks like HARRIS J, ALIA BHATT, KELLY GALE, GERALDINE VISWANATHAN, DAYA, CHARLI XCX / ANY FACE CLAIM who is 16-22. you DON’T have to contact prior to applying. ( naomi has never been the best older sister, but she does try. it’s possible for them to not be close and be kind of awkward around each other since maybe they don’t know how to be around each other? but naomi loves her baby sibling, despite being bad at showing it. only requirement is that if they have a mutant hair color that it’s not green - so pink, purple, blue, white, etc - all very cool! )

NAOMI DANE-SUMMERS, our NAOMI SCOTT fc is looking for a OLDER HALF SIBLING ( VIA LORNA & MARCOS ) connection who looks like EIZA GONZALEZ, KARLA SOUZA, SEAN TEALE, CHLOE BRIDGES, DAVID LAMBERT, ASHTON MOIO, TYLER POSEY, PETER GADIOT, MICHAEL TREVINO / ANY FACE CLAIM who is 26+. you DON’T have to contact prior to applying. ( naomi is quite close with marcos diaz so i definitely imagine these two having a sort of close-ish relationship. they’re not full siblings but that part has never been important in their family - they’ve always been siblings. only requirement is that if they have a mutant hair color that it’s not green - so pink, purple, blue, white, etc - all very cool! )

ROSARIO HILL, our MELISSA BARRERA fc, is looking for a YOUNGER HALF SIBLINGS / ADOPTED SIBLINGS ( 1 to 2 ) connection who looks like DIEGO TINOCO, TRINITY ANNE, EDEN ESTRADA, SOFIA REYES, CIERRA RAMRIEZ, ISSA LISH, DANNA PAOLA, ARIELA BARER, MANPREET MABRA, LAURA HARRIER, TRISTIN MAYS, LULU ANTARISKA, KEKE PALMER, TAZZY PHE, TINA TAMASHIRO, TOMMY MARTINEZ, MARLON LANGELAND / AT LEAST HALF MEXICAN IF BIO, ANY FACE IF ADOPTED who is UNDER 25 you DON’T have to contact prior to applying.

WINONA FALCONE, our SHAY MITCHELL fc is looking for a OLDER SIBLING connection who looks like UTP / ANY HALF FILIPINO FC who is 27+ YEARS OLD. you DON’T have to contact prior to applying. ( the oldest falcone ! mwahaha. so it’s this whole big thing that WINONA IS THE HEIR, but she wasn’t always. she has an older sibling who was disinherited from the family & cast out. a big ole family disgrace that none of them like to talk about. the reason behind this is up to you ! but it can range from being a MUTANT to a DEGENERATE to being SOFT to whatever. sofia is a pretty uptight gal. )

11x14, “The Last Shot at a Second Chance”

“Then success must be redefined, as that which can be accomplished.”

Angela: Michaela Conlin is the MVP of this episode. I both hate and love it when Angela is in real distress, because while it’s devastating to see a character who is usually so kind and happy and carefree in such pain, it’s only so devastating because of how raw Michaela’s performance is. TJ does great too - maybe it’s just the unkept beard, but I swear you can actually see the raincloud over Hodgins’s head in this episode. But Hodgins has been down before. This is probably Angela’s lowest point in the whole series and you can see all of it in every word she says and every face she makes: fear, in knowing she has to comfort her husband even though she also knows how he will react, guilt, over the good things happening in her career while he is suffering, and anger...

“This is a coward’s decision.” That’s such a powerful line, especially coming from the couple whose defining trait is usually undying support for each other. At the end of the day you can tell how much they still love each other, but god, if that doesn’t cut deep.

The Hearing: I support Brennan 10,000%, she shouldn’t be getting a suspension for punching an MRA. In fact, she should be getting a raise. Fuck him up, Dr. B.

You know, Brennan has hit tons of people who totally deserved it, but this is the only time (except maybe with that guy she shot in the pilot?) she faced discipline for it. It seems as though this hearing only happened because this one particular bitchass decided to be a whiny baby about it and press charges.

The Case: One sign of a really good episode is when it gets me as emotionally invested in the case of the week as in the main characters’ subplots. Of course, this episode added that extra layer of Booth having a personal connection with one of the suspects, Kenny, but even without that I think it would have gotten to me.

Parents and children reuniting always makes me cry and as a result both scenes with Kalani (the victim’s daughter) got to me: the first is so heartbreaking, as she’s telling the story of reconnecting with her mother only to lose her again (”We were making plans!” oh god that line kills me), and the second, when she and her father are meeting for the first time... I was already on the verge of tears from Angela’s outburst, and Kalani and Kenny hugging just broke me.

Aubrey and Jessica: My last relationship was kind of like theirs, honestly. Just months of us playing chicken and talking about TV shows and not kissing even once because we unfortunately ended things before he even got the chance to push me out of the way of a moving car.

Man, the more I think about it, the more Jessica reminds me of myself, and not just because we are both INFJ redheads. She got bangs in this episode and they look awesome.

Preferences - Being a Sister of the Jeffersonian Team

Brennan

General

You’re her younger sister

When your parents left, you were actually split up by the foster system; as soon as she turned eighteen, she found you and petitioned for custody, which was granted

You hit Russ in the face when you saw him again

You also hit Max in the face when you saw him again

She taught you how to handle and shoot guns in case you ever needed to protect yourself

Thanks to her, you’re fluent in English, French, and Spanish

She has intimidated away more than a couple of significant others. You’re not mad about this because she usually doesn’t do it on purpose.

You’re not a forensic anthropologist, but because you listen to her talk and helped her study, you can follow along pretty well when she talks about work

You didn’t push her to do anything, but you’d really rooted for her to get with Booth and were so happy when she finally did

You’re the go-to babysitter

Parker, Christine, and Hank all adore you

With the Team

You were never a secret; Brennan didn’t talk about you a lot, merely because it wasn’t professionally relevant, but she had a photo of the two of you on her desk and mentioned you in passing a few times

You actually met the team because someone tried to hurt Brennan and she worried you’d also be a target, so you went to work with her

Angela decided instantly that you were gonna be friends. You did not get a choice

Booth started out babying you like he babied Jared, but over the years he started seeing you as an individual adult rather than just his partner’s little sibling

Hodgins made the mistake of flirting with you once and the look Brennan sent him could’ve made even Pelant pause

Cam likes your company because you’re more social and less work-oriented, so you kind of balance out Brennan

You really encouraged her to go to her therapy sessions with Sweets, but the one time he tried to psychoanalyze you, you made sure he knew not to do it again (you eventually ended up good friends though)

For some reason, the squinterns are all really surprised to find out Brennan has a sister. You secretly enjoy announcing it casually and watching their shocked reactions

Zach was your favorite (much like he was Brennan’s) and you never really got over his betrayal

You’re not close with many of the squinterns, but you’re friends with Wendell and Jessica

Booth

General

Again, you are the younger sibling - the baby of the family

Jared never quite grew up until he was out of the house, but having you as well as Jared to look after made Booth grow up super fast

He was able to relax a little once his grandfather took you all in, but he never stopped being wary and overprotective

When you moved out after high school, he called you every single day (sometimes just to remind you to lock your doors and keep pepper spray)

You were really into police shows as a kid, but Booth took it a step further and became a fed after his time with the army. You’re very proud of him

You’re also proud of Jared, of course, but given the stupid decisions he’s made, you’re a little more reserved

Booth told you when he was going to propose to Rebecca. He also crashed on your couch when she said no

Same with Hannah

And with Brennan, during that awkward time when Pelant forced him to be the one calling it off

Like Brennan, he would’ve also taught you to shoot

You’re also the one who was left to stage an intervention when you saw his gambling become a problem the first time around. He got help, but it was hard for him to admit at first and your attempted confrontation made a rift between you two for a long time. Once he started going to meetings and got his equivalent of a sobriety coin, you made up

You slapped Jared so goddamn hard when he got a DUI - you also slapped Booth for protecting Jared from the consequences. You’re not kids anymore, Jared needs to be an adult and take responsibility

You’re not as religious as he is, but you’re happy to be Parker’s godmother

You encouraged him to go to therapy with Sweets because you’d had counselling before and it had really helped, so since you wanted him to, he went

With the Team

Being the sister of a field agent means you’re usually pretty safe, but sometimes bad people want to hurt you to get back at him. You met the team when Epps threatened you, and Booth had you stay in the lab with Cam and Hodgins until it blew over

Cam was super nice and great company, especially since you’d already known each other from when she’d dated Booth

Hodgins was eager to get blackmail stories

Honestly, you could tell he was stressed, but his attempts at lightening the situation really helped you stay calm and you couldn’t thank him enough for that

He and Zach became fast friends with you, to Booth’s chagrin

It was hard for you to tell what Brennan thought. For a while you assumed she didn’t like you very much, but you had no idea why. Booth had to explain that it was just the way she acted, and she actually liked you more than she liked him sometimes

You actually became pretty close with Brennan and took martial arts classes together

You’re not as close with Angela, but you get along well when you do spend time together

You and Sweets bonded pretty quickly. You suspected more than once that he was envious of the connection you had with your brother, but he was never obvious about it. To be honest, he seemed lonely sometimes (a lot) and you felt bad for him, and were really happy when you saw him start to seem less alone

Your favorite squint has been Finn because he really reminds you of Booth. Booth would never agree, but Finn’s willingness to pick up a weapon and threaten his dad to protect his mother made you think of Booth standing up to his father and taking the brunt of the abuse to protect you and Jared

Wendell’s a close second, since he and Booth played hockey together

Angela

General

You’re an avid supporter of her artwork

You didn’t date as much as Angela, to dad’s relief

You got tattoos together (not matching) when she turned eighteen

Angela was not the only one that had to change their name when they turned eighteen

She literally came out to you by asking if she left her girlfriend’s bra in your laundry by accident

She was originally going to study computer science at MIT, but you convinced her to follow her passions and she chose a school that also had a great art program

You liked Roxie, but you didn’t think they’d last. Just from an outsider’s perspective, you could see how their lifestyles didn’t quite line up

You’re the protective older sister who freaked out about her working on murder cases at first – it took a while for you to calm down and be chill with it

Hodgins asked your permission to marry Angela, to which you replied, “eh, you’re okay, I guess,” and then warned him that if Ange ever found out he’d asked anyone else for her hand, he would be sleeping on the couch for weeks

You were the maid of honor at her wedding

You host sleepovers for Brennan’s and Angela’s kids so that they can go out sometimes and just have fun

She keeps teasing you about having your own kid whenever she sees you playing around happily with Michael Vincent

With the Team

You met Brennan and Booth in the desert when Ange’s then-boyfriend was murdered by drug smugglers and they came out to investigate the crime

You were apprehensive of Brennan, but then saw how much she loves Angela and got all on board with that friendship

You got really close with Brennan and bonded a lot while taking martial arts classes together

You got along great with Booth right from the start, thanks to similar senses of humor, values, and interests

Hodgins tried to impress you because he wanted Angela to have another reason to like him. He tried to lean on the back of a chair, the chair rolled on its wheels, and he went flying to the floor

You thought Zach was “kinda cute, in the lost puppy sort of way” but you were never really friends with him

You started out purely professional with Cam, but that came to a screeching halt after an eventful girls’ night out

Your genuine interest in psychology makes you Sweets’ favorite

You double date a lot with Wendell and his girlfriend

Angela would never let you hear the end of it if she found out that you and Aubrey go to sci-fi conventions together

Your favorite intern is Arastoo – you have a liberal arts education, much like Angela, and you loved to have scholarly discussions about things like religion, conflict theory, and literature with him

Hodgins

General

Despite having an inheritance of your own, Hodgins doted on you with his money, being nearly ten years older than you

He used to put various bugs in your bedroom as pranks. His choice to study entomology was not a surprise by any stretch of the imagination

Your prank wars were legendary

When you were bored, you’d make up puzzles (usually by inventing cyphers or using anagrams) for each other to solve and then passing letters in them until that system got boring. Hodgins loved it, since he loved the stories of your cryptologist grandfather

Your first pet was a puppy. His was a snake, not poisonous but pretty big. You were tentatively open to the reptilian pet until you heard panicked yapping and ran in on the constrictor snake looking about to crush your puppy. The rules regarding that snake’s freedom were very strictly tightened and you hated snakes ever since

Hodgins was the best brother. You were picked on at school for being a rich kid, and he knew what that was like, so he’d take you to get clothes at places like Walmart, Sears, and JCPennys. He’d help you buy school supplies at Office Max. He chose your first car and gave you something that didn’t attract a lot of attention, all so you could fit in easier

The conspiracist hobbies are not new. One time he asked if you were in the Illuminati??? Like??? And he seemed disappointed when you said you obviously weren’t?????

You went spelunking together in caves, pretending to look for pirate treasure, and even went scuba diving off the coast of Hawaii

He kept “subtly” pursuing you to be a scientist like him for a long time before finally resigning to just be supportive

After your parents’ deaths, you traveled around, seeing things for a while before you finally felt ready to settle down again. Hodgins never objected, never nudged you to come home, just asked for souvenirs or suggested new destinations, and when you were ready, he housed you until you found your own place

He always gives your significant others a shovel talk. Even when the first time he saw your significant other was at his own wedding, he stopped to give a short “don’t you dare hurt her because I have the best lawyers” talk before running out of the church with Ange

You offered money to help them when Hodgins and Angela were broke. You’re sure he wouldn’t have accepted it if he hadn’t had a family to think about, but you were happy to help

With the Team

You met the team when you walked into the lab with a visitor’s pass to complain that his then-girlfriend had gotten your phone number somehow and wouldn’t stop trying to use you as a messenger

You and Booth like each other a lot more than Hodgins would prefer. He’s all “government stooge” while you’re like “cool so you catch bad guys” and it takes a while for your brother to get used to it

You, Zach, and Hodgins all made up the Jeffersonian’s “Golden Trio.” You and Hodgins were hit hardest by Zach’s betrayal, but you were really confused by how to feel at first. Knowing that Zach had injured himself badly for the sake of keeping Hodgins safe made you feel grateful, even though you knew you should be angry

Cam is a bit exasperated by you because you urge Hodgins to do more experiments so that he has more fun stories to tell

Angela quickly found things you had in common (even before she and Hodgins were dating) to make friends with you, and now you’re glad to actually be sisters

Brennan likes to teach you things when you listen, but other than occasionally babysitting for her and Booth or drinking together at Founding Fathers, you don’t see much of each other out of the lab

You were always one of the nicest ones to Sweets, and although you never wanted to talk to him about Zach, you didn’t ice him out. Hodgins seemed to think Sweets thought Zach could be replaced. You knew better and were just glad to have friends to help you not feel alone

Hodgins and Aubrey get along well enough, but not as well as you and Aubrey do. Pizza restaurants, cinemas, and coffee cafés are your favorite places to hang out together

Angela’s dad admitted to you that he’s chill with Hodgins now, and just terrorizes him for amusement. You died laughing

Your favorite of the squinters are Vincent and Finn – the latter because of just how nice and genuinely happy he always seemed to be, and the former because you admired how willing he was to compromise, and to be corrected and learn from his mistakes

Cam

General

You’re the middle sister of three

You never clashed as much with either of your sisters as they did with each other

Your parents would never admit it to anyone, but you’re their favorite because you caused a lot less drama as a teenager than either of your sisters

Cam would tell her parents that she was still dating Booth even after they’d broken up just so they’d leave her alone about finding a partner, and you managed to get sucked into it and would make up long-winded stories about times you’d crashed their dates or gotten pulled into an argument that ended happily or something, and your parents always bought it

The worst part about being the sister of a pathologist was when you swapped phones for a couple days during her ME training and had to explain to a friend why there were photographs of corpses in various stages of autopsy in your camera roll

She helped you learn Spanish, but you’d spent more time in Mexico and even vacationed in Spain for a while, so you ended up being more fluent

You learned from her example to be confident and strong, and you were eternally grateful for that

She’s also the one that taught you how valuable it is to be educated and motivated. Though your parents always supported your goals, it was Cam how showed you how to achieve them

Cam moved to DC around the same time you did, so it was nice to live near family again

She complained to you about her power struggle with Brennan when she started at the Jeffersonian, and you would sarcastically agree that it must be really frustrating to have a headstrong, stubborn person insisting they know what’s right (it was funny to you because it sounded like she was finally learning what it had been like to deal with her for the last twenty-some years)

Her breakup with Arastoo was so sad that it made you cry, and you were really psyched when they got back together

Maid of honor at her wedding with Arastoo

With the Team

Your first time meeting the team was at a Christmas party Cam invited you to at the Jeffersonian to celebrate the staff. It was fun to meet her friends, especially Angela, who was a lot of fun and not at all the kind of person you expected to meet at the lab

Angela and you were fast friends

You were kind of friends with Booth ever since he dated Cam, but you didn’t chat much between their breakup and her move to DC. It was one of those halfway-friendships where you’d say hi occasionally but usually just kind of mutually ignored each other

Hodgins once said he was surprised you’re not a stick-in-the-mud like Cam. Cam overheard. Hodgins stammered through his words to apologize

Although it surprised you, you were also quick to bond with Brennan. You’d admired her from the beginning, since it had to take a very intelligent and dedicated person to be a legitimate rival to your sister

You literally never met Zach until he was in the hospital for blowing up his hands. Cam asked you to help watch over him in case whoever had sabotaged the experiment came back, so you joined their rotating shifts, along with the security guards outside his door, and thought he’d seemed kind of sweet… you changed your mind when you heard he killed and ate people

You also didn’t interact much with Aubrey. Not that there was anything you had against him, you just didn’t share as much in common and weren’t in positions where you had to talk to each other very often

You got coffee with Sweets a few times, since you were both relatively new to the city, and for a long time you both felt like outsiders whenever you visited the Medico-Legal lab (you because you weren’t a scientist, him because the team was standoffish and a bit exclusive after what happened with Zach)

Arastoo is your favorite because he’s your brother-in-law

Your favorite squints that you’re not family with are Clark and Vincent. Vincent was always super friendly and made you feel at home whenever you visited. Clark was always pleasant to be around - always more than civil and very respectful, but professional, as well.

Sweets

General

You were the older sister in this case, and you were always very protective. Your parents were crueler to you than they were to him because you were older

You’re the reason you escaped them - you realized you could get help when you had infected injuries on your back and called CPS yourself

The couple who adopted you were the sweetest ever and they didn’t even hesitate to take in both you and your brother. From that point you grew up safe, healthy, and loved

You would tease him mercilessly sometimes

He tried to give your first boyfriend a protective shovel talk, but it was when he was about eleven and so it really wasn’t as intimidating as he’d have hoped. He was basically a scrawny, four-foot-tall beanpole trying to tell a football player to have you home by nine “or else”

You both went to college intending to study psychology, but you trained in different fields and your focus shifted, so it’s in your background but it’s not your practicing focus

You shared an apartment when your parents died and he moved to DC. You went with him and looked for job opportunities there

Even after you were employed, you kept living together because it was economical and you felt better living with him than you would’ve alone

Once he started dating Daisy you realized it was in everyone’s best interest that they had more privacy, so you found your own apartment

When Olivia accidentally shot him, you kept making sharp, sarcastic replies because you were pretty pissed. If you can’t aim for the right person, you shouldn’t be allowed to carry a gun

His breakup with Daisy left him moping on your couch for weeks. It was pretty pathetic but you were nice enough not to tell him that

You had never been more scared than you were when the subway line derailed while he was on it. He was shaken up that he’d seen someone die, but as selfish as it might have been, you were just glad that your brother was safe

The worst day of your life was when Booth called you to unsteadily, shakily, ramblingly tell you that Sweets had been murdered on the job

With the Team

The worst part of his job was how his “teammates” treated him. For a while you resented the Jeffersonian team, because you could see how sincerely Sweets was trying to help, and he kept getting belittled and dismissed - if not for his age, then for his profession, his looks, his geeky interests, or simply because he wasn’t Zach, and they had wanted the bad guy to be the new outsider instead of their close friend, and it wasn’t fair to your brother at all

You met the team unwillingly, only because Sweets really wanted you to, at Founding Fathers one night. It was hard to reconcile the arrogant, rude people you’d imagined with the compassionate, friendly group you saw

Booth was probably the one that took the longest for you to warm up to. While he accepted and grew more and more like a mentor to Sweets, you couldn’t quite forget that his snide insults had been the worst for your brother to hear

By the time several years had passed, you grudgingly admitted to yourself that Booth was kind of like the big brother you’d never had, looking out for both of you and doing an unprecedented background check on your dates

You weren’t sure what to make of Brennan. It took you a long time to get used to her, but you realized pretty quickly that when she said insulting things, she didn’t usually understand that she was being mean, and that made her easier to forgive than Booth. Soon you started actually enjoying her company - her bluntness meant you never had to guess at what she thought or felt

Angela was the sweetest, and although she teased you a little, she never did it with bad intentions. You liked her practically right off the bat and you were personal friends before you really knew what happened

You never got close with Cam, but you have each other’s phone numbers in case of emergency and sometimes go to see movies or events that others aren’t interested in

Hodgins would indulge your morbid fascination with reptiles and bugs, but kept pestering you to hold them. Your hell nos were a source of amusement for him.

He was one of the worst about Zach, so you ended up losing your temper with him once. He admitted he’d been a jerk, apologized to you, apologized to Sweets, and all was good

You never got the chance to meet Zach, but you heard a lot about him. Aside from the part where he was found criminally insane, he seemed like a cool guy

Daisy always annoyed the hell out of you. She was too preppy, too loud, to scattered, and not humble in the least. Sweets thought these were endearing traits, but honestly you just wanted her to shut up

Your favorite squint was Vincent. His youthful enthusiasm to learn and help reminded you a lot of Sweets, and his death hit you really hard. Wendell was a close second, in part because he was just so mature and responsible while still being playful and relatable

Aubrey

General

You’re his older sister who had to step up and really help your mother with raising him after your father abandoned the three of you

Your special nickname for him is “Jay” and he doesn’t let anyone else call him that

He’s super protective of you and kind of feels like he needs to pay you back for all you did to help him get where he is

You’re so proud of him for taking the trauma caused by your dad and using it as motivation to become a cop when he easily could’ve let it make him bitter and mean

You have lots of movie marathons and binge sessions together

There is a lot of car and home karaoke, and you always poke fun at him for his college a cappella

You tease him about Jessica, but in actuality, you think they’re adorable together

He used to talk about culinary school when he was younger. That’s how much he loves food

As soon as he was released from the hospital, you nearly killed him yourself for using his survival as bait to the bombers

You took him to all of his physical therapy appointments and follow-ups while all the injuries from the shrapnel were healing

He was reluctant to take over Booth’s office when the older agent retired, but you encouraged him to take the offer and accept the promotions. You knew he deserved the acknowledgment and recognition

The two of you have a very close relationship and very few serious arguments, and when you do have disagreements, you’re careful to keep it private

With the Team

You met Sweets when you were helping Jay move to DC and became friends

You cried with Jay for hours when Sweets died

You met the rest of the team while in protective custody during the Pelant scare

You were so thankful to Brennan for accepting your brother and helping him to transition into the new job. He’d been really excited to work with the Medico-Legal team, but when Booth shut him out, you could tell it really disappointed and hurt him. If Brennan hadn’t been so helpful, you didn’t think he’d have been as happy

With Booth, you share an earnest sort of kinship because you both have experience growing up a little too fast to take care of a younger brother

You’re also really close with Hodgins, because he felt awful for Jay being injured protecting him from the bomb

Of course, you also got really aggravated and snapped at Hodgins to get his head out of his ass when he was being a douche and making everyone miserable instead of coping with his paralysis

While in the waiting room after the bomb went off, waiting for word on Hodgins and Aubrey, you and Angela wordlessly comforted each other. Without ever talking about it, you became really close friends

You bonded with Cam over the dumb teenage decisions of both Aubrey and Michelle

Your least favorite squintern is Clark – you’d heard only good things about him from everyone, but when it turned out he covered up a murder… well, your opinion went down quite a bit

Your favorite squintern is Jessica because she’s fun, smart, and surprisingly intuitive. You think she makes a good couple with Aubrey, and you’re also kind of relieved that she speaks her mind. No one ever has to wonder what she’s thinking because all you have to do is ask

Zach

General

You have a huge family, so you’re just one of many sisters

However, you are the one closest to Zach, because you don’t mock and taunt him for being awkward, nerdy, for studying dead people, etc

He likes engineering because of you. One of your other brothers broke a robotic toy when you were six, and you were so upset that Zach fixed it for you. He found the mechanics fascinating and that’s why he got a degree in engineering

You got such good grades in your science classes because Zach always helped you

Lots of long sci-fi marathons together

You’re always giving him advice on communication, friendships, relationship problems, etc

Likewise, he’s always giving you advice and help with studying, choices on your education, practical matters, etc

You stayed with him and Hodgins when you were in town, since you never had the time to visit for more than a few days

You were so scared when he went overseas that he’d be hurt

You moved closer to DC when he was incarcerated so that you could visit him, and you make sure to see him at McKinley several times a week

He told you he didn’t kill anyone, but when you tried to tell others, no one believed you because a) you’re his sister and b) you’re not a professional or an authority

You always make sure to give cards and presents on holidays and birthdays. It’s hard for Zach to do much but he likes to order presents to your address since he can’t go shopping, and he makes cards by hand as a form of physical therapy

With the Team

You met the Jeffersonian team when you visited Zach on the Christmas when they were quarantined

You liked Hodgins right off the bat because he was so friendly with Zach, and you knew your brother had a hard time making friends

You had a great respect for Brennan before even meeting her because of Zach’s high esteem for her

Brennan was impressed by your studies and intellect and you became casual friends, though you got a little closer to each other after Zach’s arrest

You don’t really have much of a relationship with Cam

You’re incredibly grateful to Booth for saving Zach’s life when he triggered the bomb Epps set

Angela adored you right from the start and liked how you and Zach were so close compared to most siblings

You were sad that Zach was an accomplice, but incredibly thankful to Sweets for not giving up on him and continuing to talk to him at McKinley. Later on, when you were trying to tell people Zach was innocent, Sweets was the only one who believed you

The team got a lot closer with you as you all had to struggle to deal with Zach’s betrayal

Your favorite squint is Clark because even though you know he’s curious about your brother, he never asks you to talk about it

With your loving, there ain’t nothing That I can’t adore The way I’m running with you, honey Means we can break every law I find it funny that you’re the only one I never looked for There is something in your loving that Tears down my walls

5 years later

“Hello!” You called into the suspiciously quiet home. It didn’t sound like anyone was inside, but as you came to the kitchen, you could hear laughter and music playing.

“Hey.” You caught Aubrey’s attention as you slid open the sliding glass door.

“Hi, honey.” He wrapped his arms around you and placed a kiss on your temple. “Everyone is supposed to be here around dinner. I’ve everything prepared; it just needs to be put in the oven.”

“How did I get so lucky?” You marveled at him.

“I don’t know. Good thing you locked me down, huh?” He wiggled his wedding band at you. You swatted his butt as he entered back into the house.

“Mommy!” Your 4-year-old daughter bounded up the deck steps towards.

“Whoa!” You gasped as she latched on to your legs. “You gotta slow down, baby girl.” You reached down and picked her up. “Are you excited to see everyone tonight?”

“Mhm! Especially JJ!” She squealed.

“Good. Let’s go get you ready.”

Around 5pm, everyone started to show up. First was Angela, Jack, and Michael-Vincents. The Brennan-Booths were next. After all the interns, Jess and JJ finally appeared at your door.

“I’m sorry we’re so late. JJ’s been a handful lately. I’m not sure what’s going on.” She seemed shaky.

“Hey, it’s okay.” You took her coat. “Come, drink, and eat. James and I can be on parent duty tonight. You just enjoy yourself, okay?” She nodded and smiled a thanks to you.

If you hadn’t been there to see it, you wouldn’t have believed it. As soon as Jules saw her brother, JJ, she pretty much tackled him to the ground.

“JJ!” She squeezed him so tightly, you were afraid she might hurt him.

“Jules, honey. Too much love.” You giggled as you pulled her off him and helped him up. “You okay, JJ?” You brushed off his coat.

“Yeah, I’m okay.” He grabbed his sister into a bear hug.

“Hey, can I take your jacket, buddy?”

“Sure. Hi, Daddy!” JJ bounded towards your husband and squeezed tightly.

“Hey, handsome. Were you good for mommy?” He picked him and kissed his cheek.

“No.” He said sheepishly. “I cried when she wanted me to get into the car.”

“Well, Jacob Warren Aubrey. Why don’t you go give her a hug?” He set his son down and watched him scurry off.

“Something’s up. Jess seemed really stressed out. Do you think now would be a good time?”

“Let’s get through dinner and then see okay. They are staying here, so we’ve got time.”

As you exited your sliding glass door, you saw that the entire group was seated around your big wooden table outside, ready for dinner. Everyone was talking and laughing as you found your seat.

“Normally, as the man of the house,” the group chuckled, “I would make a toast, but I think it would be more appropriate for the lady of the house to speak. She’s much better at it anyways.”

You blushed slightly and stood. “Well, I am so very happy to have all of you here tonight. Though we’ve never arrived at things conventionally, I am proud to share this occasion with all of you. James and I are so happy to have our family here to celebrate our marriage and honestly, I’m not sure we would be here without all of you. I don’t know if many of you know that this is my childhood home. After I came back to the states, I figured it was time to return home for real. So, I began restoring this place, a brick at a time. It’s truly transformed, just as my life has. I am so happy to be someone’s wife and to a mother. This is not what I could have ever imagined.” You choked up a little.

I wasn’t ready then, I’m ready now I’m heading straight for you You will only be eternally The one I belong to

“I wish my parents and sister were here to see this. I know they’d be so proud of me. Back to the happy stuff, a toast to all of our family, may you have as much as happiness as we do.”

Later, as the night settled down, you watched as Brennan and Booth continued dancing, their sleeping children on the couch. You looked over and saw Jess holding JJ as he slept soundly.

“He’s gotten so big.” You whispered.

“Too big too quickly.” She chuckled.

“Do you want me to take him up? You should hang out more if you want.”

“No, I think I’m going to head up too. It was a rough drive.” She brushed her son’s hair from his face.

“Okay. Let me know if you need anything. Towels are all in the same place if you feel like a shower.”

“Thanks, Beck.” She patted your shoulder.

You sat watching your friends marvel at the beautiful lake behind your house and talk about how marvelous the renovations looked, when you felt a hand on your shoulder. You placed yours on top of his.

“She down?” You looked up. He nodded. “You pass Jess?”

“Yeah. Might talk to her at breakfast. I think a month in the summer would do him and her some good. Come dance with me.” You took his hand as he pulled you closer.

You swayed to the beat and looked up into his eyes.

“I don’t think I’ve ever been happier.” You kissed his neck.

“I don’t think I could be happier than I am right now.”

I’ll forever be whatever you want me to be I’ll go under and all over for your clarity When you wonder if I’m gonna lose my way home Just remember, that come whatever, I’ll be yours all along

On my beloved Bones

This is the heart of the matter.

When I was fifteen years old I caught a portion of a creepy looking tv show I wasn’t supposed to be watching. A disembodied foot fell from an elevator shaft, and these beautiful people were investigating it, and I was fascinated until my mom made me turn it off. Then, weeks later, I stumbled across another episode, the season four finale of Bones. And the rest is history. I got the DVDs of the first four seasons from the library as soon as I could, and quickly even my parents and sister started watching with me. Bones has been my favorite show for eight years, from age 15 to 22, and I don’t know who I would be without it. When Angela Montenegro got a girlfriend in season four, I learned with a flicker of familiarity and strangeness that you could like more than one gender. All these years later, I’m an out and proud bisexual woman who owes Angela’s character so much. When I was a lonely teenager with low self esteem and severe social anxiety, the smart, bookish, quiet kid who didn’t seem to fit anywhere, I saw myself in Dr. Temperance Brennan. I saw her, this deeply lonely and socially awkward woman who believed she would be on her own forever. And I watched her open her heart, slowly but surely, and realize that she had a group of friends who loved her all along. She made her own family, found her own love, and never sacrificed her proud, intelligent, slightly awkward, survivor of a self. She is loved for exactly who she is, and I needed to know that was possible. I needed her so much. I love Temperance Brennan with all my heart. I love the squinterns. And I love Caroline Julian and Lance Sweets and Zack Addy and Arastoo Vaziri and James Aubrey. I love Cam Saroyan, beautiful wise Cam. I love nerdy, angry, bristly, joyful bug guy Hodgins. I love Angela and her open heart and artist’s soul. I love the deeply layered, deeply human, deeply good man that is Seeley Booth. And I will never stop loving Dr. Temperance Brennan, who taught me hope. I haven’t always been super active in the fandom, but I have loved sharing this show with all of you, and I thank you so much. There really is more than one kind of family, and that beautiful, beautiful finale- I couldn’t ask for a more perfect send-off for the show that’s been my fictional TV family for so long. I cried my eyes out, because it was so very good. Because that was the end of Booth and Brennan, the most beautiful TV love story I’ve seen. Because everything happens eventually, and I got to see this story happen, and I get to keep it with me always. And I’m so grateful.

447. Forever.

Prince Louis christening LIVE: Kate carries sleeping Louis joined by Charlotte and George

Prince Louis christening LIVE: Kate carries sleeping Louis joined by Charlotte and George

Prince Louis was christened according to the law of the Church of England at the Chapel Royal this afternoon.

Kate arrived with the baby prince who wore  a handmade replica of the Royal Christening Robe, made by the Queen’s dressmaker, Angela Kelly. 

The original robe was made in 1841 for the christening of Queen Victoria’s eldest daughter, however a replica was made after the current Queen deemed the original was too fragile.

Prince Louis’ older sister Princess Charlotte wore the same dress for her christening in 2015, as did Louis’ brother Prince George in 2013.

Prince Louis was christened by the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Most Reverend Justin Welby, who also led the baptism service of Meghan Markle in March.

Mr Welby on Twitter said: “I’m delighted and privileged to be christening Prince Louis today – a precious child made in God’s image, just as we all are. “Please join me in praying for him and his family on this special day.” 

“I’m delighted and privileged to be christening Prince Louis today – a precious child made in God’s image, just as we all are. “Please join me in praying for him and his family on this special day.”

The Archbishop led the christening of Prince George in 2013, and the service was attended by senior royals, four members of the Middleton family, the seven godparents and their spouses among the 22 guests.

Pippa Middleton leaves to go to Prince Louis’s christening

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle also attended the ceremony alongside  Kate’s parents Michael and Carole Middleton, sister Pippa Matthews and her husband James Matthews and Kate’s brother James Middleton. 

Prince Louis’ grandparents Prince Charles and Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall,  were also in attendance.

But Buckingham Palace confirmed that the Queen and Duke of Edinburgh will miss the christening.

It is thought her abcense is due to a busy schedule for the week ahead, with high-profile celebrations in central London marking the centenary of the RAF on Tuesday, and the controversial visit by US President Donald Trump in Windsor on Friday. 

Meanwhile, The Duke of Edinburgh, 97, retired from public duties and has been enjoying his free time away from London, seen enjoying a carriage ride around the grounds of Windsor Castle last month.
