slowburns are my #1 kryptonite and i always get sooo frustrated whenever relationships happen so fast even if it’s good because i always think the tension should be drawn out longer. so as you can imagine i am having a blast with bones and booth
#bones lb#especially because they are truly one of the most unhinged couples ever to exist#they tick literally almost all of my boxes#and i love being reminded of mulder and scully while watching them even though i haven’t watched the x files yet#and i love noticing that there are echoes of them in like buddie for example but also im reminded of harrow and gideon??#bones and jocks...unending devotion...#plus cangel duh. and the leverage ot3#and nurseydex too. they are very nurseydex coded to me in their arguments but ofc i am insane and love nurseydex a ridiculous amount#also hate to reference anything related to ** but drop dead gorgeous by maya as well. which was formative for me#and of course…destiel…#this is also sad but like. i don’t think we’ll ever get a slowburn like this again#for a straight couple let alone for a non-straight couple and as annoying as that is#it’s comforting to watch this and know it’s going to lead somewhere and that it’s embedded in the narrative#that sounds like i've been traumatized. well. i have#which also makes me think about the purpose of fic too like i feel no real urge to read bones fic because for the most part they give me#almost exactly what i think should happen in the relationship i care about most#and they do sm fun and trope-y things and i love when shows do that
