icepixieSo I was thinking today about Mulder and Scully versus Brennan and Booth (spurred on by this fanfic, which has B&B discussing such things, and Brennan whining about how Scully gets to carry a gun, and so should she), and I came to a realization. Rather than M&S, or Maddie and David, which would have been my other guess, Brennan and Booth are in fact Fraser and Ray Vecchio with a chick.
No, really! Can't you see it? Brennan and Fraser are like pop culture-n00b soul twins with justice complexes. (I...kind of want crossover shipfic now. Maybe they met while she was at Northwestern?) She's less McGuyverish, though, except for her speciality, where she could leave him in the dust. (Probably. Then again, knowing Fraser, he probably read forensic anthropology textbooks as bedtime reading when he was seven, so who knows.) Booth and Ray V are both the long-suffering down-to-earth cop types who happen to dress in incredibly expensive suits and have family obligations and darkness in their pasts.
I...think this might make Cam Thatcher, aka the power-monger with a heart. Er, does that mean I'll eventually ship her and Brennan? That might be weird.
...Why yes, I am avoiding work on a paper! How did you guess?
Oh dear god I hate this paper please kill me now kthx
BTW, said paper would be why I'm behind on comments. I'll try to catch upover Christmas break next week.

Inspiring yet another of Booth's you-have-no-social-skills faces!
She'd probably try and make him taste whatever it is, too...

OH YES. Aside from the whole unebelivability of Brennan running around feeling little girls' spines for scoliosis, anyway. I liked that Brianna actually was a little brat. Plus, you know, everything Angela/Hodgins EVER.
