Thank you! :D I have to say, this is one of my favorite of the Reaper!Bones fics that I've written. Each 'version' of Reaper!Bones is different, with a different personality and force behind it.
Reaper is ruthless and instinctive, John is distant and still dealing with his guilt and grief over his parents' deaths. McCoy is thoughtful and confident, but he carries around grief as well and he has a tendency to bottle it up and then lash out when it becomes to much.
And Bones? Bones has Jim to balance him and make him feel whole again. And when he's not there, he can't help but feel the same disconnected drifting that he's experienced over the years come back and haunt him. Jim casts so much light that it drives Bones' shadows away.
Wow, I'm going to go write that down and turn it into another snippet. XD
