Best line EVER:

"'...she is only going to throw you one pitch, and I don't think I need to tell you that you're going to have to hit it out of the park.'"

Good story.

'Temperance Brennan is a patient woman – but she is only going to throw you one pitch, and I don't think I need to tell you that you're going to have to hit it out of the park'

That's awesome! Just discovering your fics, and loving your writing ;)

"Because Temperance Brennan is a patient woman – but she is only going to throw you one pitch, and I don't think I need to tell you that you're going to have to hit it out of the park.”"

Most awesome line ever.

I really enjoyed this, It was very well written, and in totally in character. Always a plus :). Not to mention very cute, but still intelligent, sometimes thats a fine line thats hard to find. great job!

Wow...totally different...but it really worked well. And you're right...Brennan will only give him one shot.

Nice.

I really like the fact that you thought outside the box for this one(brownie points!). This story really does bring up a great point about personal relationships and how Booth's speech does have a double meaning. I'm just wondering if Bones had a reaction to his speech and felt down in the dumps then Ange found out about it and preceeded to lecture our hunky FBI agent in his office.

You have Angela totally nailed here. Loved it!

Really like the baseball analogy. Thanks for posting.

Very insightful, even for Angela. I really enjoyed this story. This line was absolutely perfect: “Our best is better for the ones we love." So, so true!

And very cute at the end with "That's my girl." Aww! Gotta love the Hodgela. Actually, I don't always love it, because some people go WAY overboard and make them sickening, but this was just the right amount. :)

Great job!

Very well written. Loved your description and the dialogue. Many good competitors for favorite line but the winner is "Our best is better for the ones we love." Great job!

Okay, do you write for the show? Because seriously? Seriously. This was so in character I'm a little weirded out. In a good way. Because this was absolutely phenomenal. I have never, ever read a piece of fic where Angela was so... perfectly Angela. You really have her character down pat. Wow. Booth, too. I love your overall observations about the BC/BB semi triangle... thing. (“You're on strike two.” Angela paused, considering. “She'll give you another shot, if you ask her to. But when you fuck that up – and you will – that will be it for you. I think you should go for it. You'll need the batting practice. Because Temperance Brennan is a patient woman – but she is only going to throw you one pitch, and I don't think I need to tell you that you're going to have to hit it out of the park.”) That right there is the most awesome, insightful, and real thing I've read in a long time. This will immediately be going into my favorites. Thank you so much for sharing it!

Incredible quite possibly the best one-shot I've ever read. And i read them all! You did a great job with making it a plossible heart to heart. MY favorite part would have to be: “You're on strike two.” Angela paused, considering. “She'll give you another shot, if you ask her to. But when you fuck that up – and you will – that will be it for you. I think you should go for it. You'll need the batting practice. Because Temperance Brennan is a patient woman – but she is only going to throw you one pitch, and I don't think I need to tell you that you're going to have to hit it out of the park.” Just so well written!
