They’re t4t they’re aut4aut they both like singing they both are deeply lonely people who search for love (and find it) in the Jeffersonian they both use their fields of expertise to understand the world around them they both have complicated relationships with family they both love sci-fi/have stereotypically nerdy interests they both are ridiculed and belittled for being young and accomplished they both receive insults and indifference from the people they look up to
They’re also inherently quite different Sweets understands people and overall doesn’t struggle to understand social situations/emotions while Zack does not Sweets asks questions Zack provides answers Brain vs heart hyper-rational vs hyper-empathetic thinking etc etc
In this series I’m gonna just be dumping a bunch of my hcs surrounding different relationships and characters in Bones, because I’m insane and need to get my thoughts out somehow!
I will very happily take requests on ships/characters!! My ask box is always open!
This was inspired by a conversation with @sourcandyceo so ty!
Hcs below the break!
Zack x Sweets hcs
I think they would sing/play music together and (in a reality where Zack is free and Sweets is alive at thr same time) they are karaoke partners
They’re T4T and end up bonding over it when Zack mentions that Hodgin’s paid for his top surgery
They both really like physical touch once they get close with each other
Sweets loves playing with Zack’s hair especially
They play chess together (Zack is astounded and a little mad when Sweets wins)
Zack goes from (mainly) calling him Dr Sweets to Sweets to Lance as they get closer
Booth makes fun of/complains about Sweets liking Zack until Sweets calls him homophobic
They get into heated discussions/debates over sci-fi movies (and other shared stereotypically nerdy interests they’re both shown to have), mainly a debate over whether Firefly or Star Wars is better (Zack on team Firefly-he’s right- and Sweets on team star wars)
Zack actually really likes nicknames and terms of endearment (as seen with Hodgins and Cam in particular) and when Sweets catches on he starts using a bunch of them with Zack (Zacko, Zackaroni, Addy, etc) one time he accidentally calls him Zaddy in an attempt to start a new nickname and is mortified (this goes over Zack’s head completely)
Sweets gives him a weekly update on the cases they’ve solved, with details and sometimes photos
Sweets loves Zack’s freckles/moles
Zack agrees to let Sweets (attempt) to teach him psychology if he lets Zack teach him anthropology/complex math
They’re terrible at flirting because most of Sweets’s flirting goes over Zack’s head and most of Zack’s flirting are complimentary statements without a clear tone
Those are some of my sillier ones these are some of my sadder ones
Sweets helps Zack with his lasting nerve damage chronic pain and scar tissue care needed due to the explosion using tricks he learned growing up to cope with the injuries he suffered due to abuse
Zack is deeply jealous of Sweet’s relationship with Brennan and Booth and struggles to understand that Sweets found the familial love and validation he craved from them
Sweets is deeply jealous of the level of respect and professional validation Zack receives from Booth and Brennan
Zack ends up developing c-ptsd and suffers from flashbacks and severe nightmares as a result, and Sweets tries to help him cope but Zack is too guarded to let him help much
Sweets is quietly jealous and a little resentful of Zack’s massive ‘loving’ family because of how he grew up (only child, adopted, bad foster homes )
Zack’s family doesn’t visit him (hes basically disowned) because of how horrified they are about Gormogon (they called him a freak just because he worked with bones I doubt they’d try to empathize with alleged murder and potential cannibalism), when Sweets finds out he’s both guilty for being jealous and furious about it- he almost calls Zack’s family but he asks him not to
Zack ends up trusting Sweets enough to tell him details and stories about Iraq and Gormogon that he never tells anyone else
He thinks of Sweets every time he sees his reflection and his scar (post s10)
Zack develops a habit/stim of rubbing his head scar when he’s upset because it makes him feel closer to Sweets
After getting out Zack visits Sweets’s grave regularly, to return the care shown by Sweets through his weekly mental facility visits
Any Zack hcs or Zack x sweets hcs you like or think about a lot?
So many!!! Most of these are just Sweets and Zack being losers (affectionate) together
When Zack is in the mental hospital Sweets brings Magic The Gathering cards some weeks, and sets up a dnd campaign for just the two of them. Sometimes they play other games, but those are the main two they keep returning to. Sweets is one of the few people who can match Zack’s intellect so he feels properly challenged (i think Zack really struggles with not being stimulated while he’s in the mental hospital)
They randomly gift each other books! Either their favourites that they think the other would love, or ones they saw that reminded them of each other.
Movie/tv nights!!! I don’t think Zack watched much tv until Hodgins introduced him to stuff like Star Wars and Firefly, so he’s missed out on the sci fi classics, and Sweets is so excited to catch him up on all his favs. They watch a lot of Star Trek, Dr. Who, and superhero movies (Zack isn’t a huge superhero movie fan, but Sweets likes them so he’ll watch).
Sweets is Zack’s first proper partner, and he’s so scared he’s gonna do something wrong and mess it up because that’s happened with every fling he’s had.
Neither are big on PDA, but whenever Sweets sees Zack he gets this stupid big grin and the others love to tease him
Family dinners with Booth and Brennan !!!
Speaking of family, Sweets is very nervous about meeting Zack’s family. Both because it’s his boyfriend’s family and he wants them to like him, but also it reminds him that he won’t get to introduce Zack to his parents.
Zack is picky about touch, but Sweets loves to cuddle. Zack has to be the big spoon cause it makes him feel more in control if he wants to pull away.
They’re always the first person to read each others papers (even if they don’t know exactly what the other person is on about)
if anyone hates on ANY house md character when they are a character as opposed to hating them during a specific moment im going to start shooting people
why are we reblogging my post about something with the opposite thing i was talking about bruh youre not gonna change my opinion im literally the foreman and choreman moot
if anyone hates on ANY house md character when they are a character as opposed to hating them during a specific moment im going to start shooting people
so like Sherlock infamously doesn’t tell John the plan during fina but you know what would be crazy. If he told Mariana. If he took her aside and told her to listen, no listen, you have to be there for him. Please. You have to tell him it wasn’t his fault. You have to tell him I love him, and I’m sorry, and there’s nothing you can do this time.
