Fanfic rec: Bones B&B

Hi~! After so many years, I'm back with a new set of fanfic recommendations! This time it's for a different show, one near and dear to my heart, which is pretty much a give away from the title of this post. I've been a fan of Bones for more than a decade now, I've known the show way before I've known Sherlock. But it has only occurred to me this 2024 that Bones might actually have some fanfictions out there. Lo and behold, there are quite a number around, and the next thing I know, I've read enough for a post like this!

For now, I'm listing some of the fanfics that really spoke and hit my heart. Maybe in my next post I'll try to categorize them in some way.

As usual, all works are complete unless stated otherwise. Happy reading!

Quicksand by MoreBonesPlz [Words: <46,783 | T: Suitable for teens] What if after the infamous B&B conversation in the truck during The Doctor in the Photo where Booth told Brennan she'd missed her chance, Brennan didn't acquiesce? What if once opened, she no longer found it possible to close the Pandora's box with respect to her feelings for Booth?

The Whole in the Sum of the Parts by fourth_rose [Words: 21,933 | Mature | Also available in Ao3] Children change things – sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse, and sometimes from the very beginning. Season 1 AU.

The Passenger Seat by cortexx [Words: 3,345 | Teen And Up Audiences | Also available in FFN] Four times someone adjusted Brennan's seat in Booth's car over the years, and the one time she did it to Booth.

Servare Vitas by newscaper [Words: <101,948 | T: Suitable for teens] To Save Lives. A Bones Novel. Brennan helps Booth try to lay old ghosts to rest as he becomes a sniper for the FBI, a decision with life and death consequences that could change everything. 

The Science Teacher in the Public School by FictionWriter91 [Words: <47,114 | T: Suitable for teens] Story is AU with a mix of canon. What if Temperance and Russ were taken with their parents instead of being left behind? What if Brennan is now a well loved science teacher at a public school like her father used to be? Brennan loves her work and her students, especially Parker Booth, who is very talented and adores her. Things couldn't be better. Then she meets Parker's father.

Right from the Start by Christi Whitson [Words: <265,871 | M: Mature] Season 1 re-write, tweaking the details and one of the tertiary characters. Because I think that under the right set of circumstances, BB would have fallen for each other right from the start. Peter is a threat to Brennan, and Tessa doesn't exist. More drama than angst. 

An Aggregation of Maladjusted Companions by jazzyproz [Words: <251,013 | M: Mature] Suffering from a declining solve rate following their returns to DC, Booth and Brennan are forced to attend a team-building convention. Neither of them think they need the workshops or exercises, but it's apparent to everyone around them that if they don't do something, the whole team will soon be falling apart. Can they fix their broken partnership?

Stupid Alpha Male - Ardialene [Words: <9,292  | Suitable for more mature childen] No matter how many times Booth denies it, Brennan knows that her partner is a true alpha male. And she has evidence to prove it.

Let the Games Begin by TRUSSELL33 [Words: <159,075 | M: Mature] What would Booth do if Brennan suddenly came on to him? Written as a challenge on another site but am thinking of turning it into a short story. Let me know if anyone is interested.

Wise Mind by naelany [Words: 13,416 | Teen And Up Audiences | Ao3 Account Required] Temperance had made the - perfectly logical - decision to rebuff Booth’s advances not once, but twice. After all, she was a mundane and he was an online, high order Sentinel and would one day find his Guide. To her mind, there was no point in starting something with the man, no matter how attracted they were to each other, because in the end he would leave her.

Confessions from a Bottle by MoreBonesPlz [Words: <27,052 | T: Suitable for teens] Booth believes he is happy in his relationship with Hannah until an intoxicated Brennan reveals her true feelings for him and makes him question what happiness really means.

Problem Solving, the Booth and Brennan Way by Hannah Taylor1 [Words: <384,802 | T: Suitable for teens] Brennan has a problem she's not sharing.Booth wants to help fix things,as always,only to find the conversation skewing in a direction he'd never expected. Set several months post-The Boy With the Answer.

How My Heart Behaves by mia101 [Words: <57,376 | M: Mature] Brennan thinks she understands what sex is all about...until Booth gives her a glimpse that makes her think otherwise. But who's teaching whom? And what will they learn...?

The Heart Won't Lie by razztaztic [Words: 16,531 | T: Suitable for teens | Also Available in Ao3 | Ao3 Account Required] Alternate ending for 6x09 "The Doctor in the Photo." What if Booth hadn't been there to save Brennan and she was hit by the car?

The Heart of the Matter by fourth_rose [Words: 7,546 | Mature] "What do you mean, you know you can't have me? It's not like you've ever asked!"

The Intern by cortexx [Words: 1,766 | Teen And Up Audiences | Also available in FFN] Brennan is trying to choose a new intern, and is slowly weeding out the ones who are unacceptable candidates. A case of mistaken identity narrows down the competition when one candidate makes an inappropriate comment to Parker about Bones.

Maternal Instinct by tempecameron [Words: <20,878 | T: Suitable for teens] Dr. Temperance Brennan can handle remains that are thousands of years old, but can she keep up with one small child? BB fluff, Parker cuteness, relationship drama, weird author's notes.

Snowed In by Imagination-Parade [Words: <23,752 | T: Suitable for teens] Booth and Parker get snowed in at Brennan's apartment after Parker insists that they spend Christmas with her. Set after 3.09 "Santa in the Slush"

Let me know what you think of this list. I'd love to have some feedback! I'll be back with a new list soon, hopefully!

Looking for other fanfic recommendations? I might have something you're interested in, or if you have requests feel free to ask!

Hey you 💗 Numbers 7, 16 & 38 for the ask game!

Dearest Christi

I answer those gladly.

7. Have tattoos?

Nope. Once upon a time my brother and I considered getting matching ones but we're both not brave enough. Also every place on my body I can think of seems wrong as in can't sustain it's form and therefore the tattoo would sag/distort make it ugly.

16. I'll love you if

.... You're a kind person with build in sarcasm, you keep the conversation going or are content with sitting in silence with me. You have a passion that you're happy to tell me about or even teach me but don't expect me to participate in either.

38. My childhood carer choice

So that's my Pandora's box. I never had a grasp of what my career could/should be. I never in my 45 years on this earth had the slightest idea. Still don't. I have an interest in a lot of things, am a programmer by trade, worked in childcare, administration and internet start ups 25 years ago. I can find an equal amount of joy and dread in all the jobs I've done which never let me feel passionate about any of them and I can leave them behind on a whim. So yeah, any career advice is greatly appreciated.

Christie Monteiro was startled to see Elena in right front of her again. However, she did recognize her from her time searching for Eddy Gordo with Lei Wulong. Elena was partnered with a Brit at the time looking for the Pandora.

“Uh, hi there. I’m Christie Monteiro.” She smiled back at her.

4. Did you discover any new authors that you love this year?

Ali Hazelwood's Love Hypothesis was super cute - and I really enjoyed her fun, trope-ish style to romance stories. I picked up her second one, and am looking forward to reading it!

Did you read any books that were nominated for or won awards this year (Booker, Women’s Prize, National Book Award, Pulitzer, Hugo, etc.)? What did you think of them?

I don't believe that I did (unless Agatha Christie won something ages ago). A lot of times those books are heavier than my escapist tastes tend to go. :)

A PAINTING 🎨👑

Gwendoline Christie attended The Fashion Awards 2023 presented by Pandora ✨

📌 The Royal Albert Hall (London)

📆 December 4, 2023

[timesofinnovation]

The trend of co-locating data centers next to power plants in the United States has gained momentum in recent years, driven primarily by the tech sector's insatiable demand for energy. Companies such as Amazon and Google are keenly interested in establishing data centers that are physically close to these power sources. This strategy offers the potential for rapid access to large quantities of electricity, essential for powering operations that require significant computational power, particularly Artificial Intelligence (AI) and cloud services. However, this approach has sparked a series of regulatory discussions, particularly since the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) is now intently reviewing the implications of this trend. The motivation behind such scrutiny revolves around the potential impacts on energy costs, grid reliability, and the overall efficiency of the energy supply system. In principle, co-locating data centers with power plants can streamline operations. Companies can bypass the time-consuming processes involved in connecting to the broader electrical grid. Instead of waiting for infrastructure expansions or enhancements, they can leverage the energy already generated by the plant. Yet, the benefits come with considerable concerns. As Mark Christie, a FERC Commissioner, elucidates, the primary worry lies in how the energy drawn by these data centers may affect the costs incurred by other electricity consumers. If these data centers utilize power from facilities meant to serve public grids, what happens during power outages or disruptions? Will they still draw energy from the grid to ensure their operations remain unaffected? Such scenarios could lead to increased electricity costs for average consumers who already contribute to maintaining the grid’s infrastructure. The uncertainty surrounding these operational choices poses a genuine risk to grid reliability. A case in point is a recent arrangement in Pennsylvania, where Amazon acquired a data center linked with a nuclear power plant. This transaction has opened a Pandora's box of discussions among electric utilities regarding infrastructure costs and its implications for reliability. The interplay between these data centers and traditional energy users is complex, and the potential for increased consumer costs creates friction in policy making. In response to these emerging concerns, FERC's investigation is likely to set a precedent. It aims to clarify the operational rules and financial responsibilities associated with these co-location partnerships between tech companies and energy facilities. The outcome of this review could lead to standardized guidelines that govern how much energy these data centers can draw without negatively impacting the broader grid and its users. Furthermore, the implications extend beyond economics. There is an environmental dimension to consider. As data centers consume immense amounts of energy, their growth could lead to increased carbon footprints, depending on the source of that energy. Renewable energy sources may alleviate some of these concerns, but reliance on fossil fuels could exacerbate climate-related issues. In addition, the increasing prevalence of these partnerships raises questions about fairness in competition. Smaller firms may struggle to establish similar arrangements with power suppliers, potentially leading to a monopolistic advantage for major corporations. This disparity emphasizes the need for equitable regulations that ensure all players in the market can compete on a level playing field. Ultimately, as these discussions unfold, it becomes crucial for stakeholders—including regulators, energy providers, and tech companies—to engage in transparent and proactive dialogue. Addressing the challenges posed by co-locating data centers at power plants requires an understanding of the energy landscape, consumer interests, and the broader implications for society. Regulatory clarity will help

secure a balance between encouraging technological advancements in energy use and protecting the interests of consumers and the grid. In the rapidly evolving intersection of technology and energy, it is essential to ensure that the integration of data centers does not come at the expense of reliability or fairness.

Médée (Charpentier) - Paris, Palais Garnier, 3 e 7/maio/2024

Ópera de 1693 com legenda em português: vídeo; legenda. Nesta produção não há o prólogo.

O Viking Opera Guide refere-se à tragédie Médée de Marc-Antoine Charpentier como "indiscutivelmente a melhor ópera francesa do século XVII".

Enredo: Para escapar da vingança de Acasto, rei da Tessália, Jasão e Médée se refugiaram em Corinto, onde mora o rei Creonte. Médée suspeita que Jasão possa estar lhe sendo infiel e logo percebe que não há dúvidas: Jasão está apaixonado pela filha de Creonte, Creúsa, e quer se casar com ela. Médée se abandona a uma fúria ciumenta, invocando a ajuda do Submundo, e então começa a se vingar da maneira mais terrível possível…

Charpentier: Compositor francês, estudou em Roma e, de volta a Paris, teve o azar de exercer sua arte sob Luís XIV e o não menos absoluto compositor da corte, Jean-Baptiste Lully. A influência de Lully era tão grande que só depois que ele morreu, em 1687, Charpentier conseguiu apresentar uma ópera em público. Até então, limitara-se a compor música para o teatro, para entretenimento privado e para certas funções da corte, entre elas a inauguração de uma estátua de Luís XIV.

Médée traz a marca do reinado de Luís XIV, abertamente lisonjeado no prólogo, mas tem um halo intemporal.

Três séculos após sua estreia na Académie royale de Musique, precursora da Opéra national de Paris, na presença de Luís XIV, a personagem feminina mais insondável da mitologia retorna pela primeira vez à Opéra Garnier. Sob a excelente direção musical de William Christie e com a mezzo-soprano Lea Desandre no papel-título, esta cintilante partitura barroca é transposta para a Segunda Guerra Mundial pelo diretor David McVicar, reforçando assim o caráter trágico da heroína.

"Por que continuamos a voltar aos mitos gregos? É porque esses mitos falam verdades universais sobre nossa natureza, sobre nós mesmos, sobre a maneira como existimos na sociedade, como nos relacionamos com o mundo em que vivemos, na maneira como nos relacionamos uns com os outros, por isso os mitos são transformadores, porque os mitos são sempre verdadeiros". - David McVicar

"Dentro de cada um de nós existe dualidade e uma capacidade de raiva e de escuridão. E acho que a jornada da vida é encontrar equilíbrio, mas o que um mito faz é tirar a tampa da caixa de Pandora (outro mito grego), olhamos para o abismo e o mito nos permite explorar os impulsos mais primordiais e sombrios de que somos absolutamente capazes, porque acho que dentro de cada um de nós há a capacidade de virar para o lado negro e deixarmos que este lado negro nos consuma, nos defina, deixarmos a destruição solta, hum, podemos, somos todos capazes disso. Acho que essa é um das eternas fascinações da mitologia de Medeia". - David McVicar

Uma versão moderna Este é um evento e tanto: A única ópera de Marc-Antoine Charpentier entra no repertório sob a batuta de William Christie, maestro e fundador do Les Arts Florissants. Apoiada por um elenco magnífico que reflete o gosto de Christie por produções ousadas e desafiadoras, ela reúne o crème de la crème do palco barroco, incluindo Lea Desandre. Esta produção oferece ao público a chance de revisitar uma das mais poderosas obras-primas do repertório francês, em uma abordagem moderna do gênero operístico. O cenário ousado, porém fiel, do diretor David McVicar na Segunda Guerra Mundial enfatiza o poder atemporal da obra de Charpentier.

Palestra O Barroco francês

Filme O Rei Dança (Le Roi danse) (2000)

Filme Medea (1988)    

Filme Medéia: A Feiticeira do Amor (1969)

Papéis principais: - Medeia: feiticeira estrangeira - Jasão: seu marido. Príncipe da Tessália, Argonauta. - Creonte: rei de Corinto e pai de Creúsa. - Creúsa: princesa de Corinto e filha de Creonte. - Oronte: rei de Argos, a quem Creonte prometeu sua filha. - Nerina: criada e confidente de Medeia

Sinopse: Corinto, Grécia, na Antiguidade mitológica.

Prólogo Pastores e camponeses louvam o rei Luís. Personificações da Vitória e da Fama enaltecem a França.

Ato I Medeia lamenta-se. Muito sacrificou pelo marido, Jasão, mas ele é ingrato. Sua criada, Nerina, diz que a princesa Creúsa pode ajudar. Mas Medeia jura lançar seu feitiço se Jasão se unir a Creúsa. Jasão jura a Medeia que se aproximou de Creúsa apenas para proteger seus filhos na guerra, pedindo-lhe que a presenteie com sua resplandecente túnica. O rei Creonte rejubila-se quando Oronte e seus guerreiros chegam de Argos para defender Corinto frente à Tessália, mas Jasão fica enciumado: o que move Oronte é o amor por Creúsa. Argianos e coríntios dançam e encenam uma batalha dedicada à Vitória.

Ato II O rei Creonte manda exilar Medeia enquanto durar a guerra. Sozinhos, Jasão e Creúsa se entregam ao amor. Oronte chega e também declara amor a Creúsa. O Amor desce então do céu em sua carruagem, puxada por prisioneiros de diferentes países. Oronte, Jasão e Creúsa são levados às alturas, onde o Amor ordena solenemente a Creúsa escolher um amante que garanta a Vitória.

Ato III Traídos pelos amados, Oronte e Medeia unem forças. Jasão sensibiliza-se com a dor de Medeia, mas insiste em defender Corinto. Ao saber que Jasão ama Creúsa, Medeia invoca espíritos do Inferno para lançar um feitiço venenoso na resplandecente túnica que dará à rival.

Ato IV Creúsa admira a nova túnica, enquanto Medeia diz a Creonte que não deixará Corinto enquanto Creúsa não se casar com Oronte. Indignado, ele manda prendê-la. Mas Medeia vale-se da magia para conter os guardas e enlouquecer Creonte.

Ato V Os coríntios pranteiam o suicídio de Creonte. De repente, o veneno da túnica de Medeia incendeia Creúsa. Morta a amada, Jasão se desespera. Mas Medeia, montada num dragão voador, convida-o a vingar os filhos, por ela mortos. Ordena-lhe que pranteie eternamente as dores causadas pelas chamas de sua paixão.
