Why This Must Be Read: Lovely little piece that shows the wonderful dynamic of Booth/Cam, both in a relationship and just as friends. This author nails Cam especially, capturing her smarts, humor, and inner-strength wonderfully. The setting of this fic is also unique - Cam and Booth talk over an autopsy. It's perfect for this fandom. I only wish there were more fics like this.

Highly recommend this one. ;)

“Is that a bullet wound?” Cam could feel him leaning over her shoulder as she dug inside the man’s small intestine.

“For a guy who claims to be ‘grossed out by the innards’ you’re spending a lot of time standing at my shoulder. Hoverer.”

“I’m not hovering, I don’t—you make me sound like an old lady. I investigate things for a living, I’m curious by nature.”

“Uh huh.”

“It’s more like peering, I’m peering down at the…bullet hole in that poor bastard’s stomach—where did you say they found this guy?”

“In a pond outside the city limits. I’m not really clear on the difference.”

“What? How long’s he been dead?” Booth said, his brown eyes scanning her work intently.

“I haven’t really figured that out yet Booth, it’s what all this high tech stuff is for. You’re differentiating between peering and hovering, when by definition they’re basically the same thing.”

“Ah ha, but they’re not. To peer is to look searchingly i.e., I’m looking over your shoulder in a searching manner. To hover is to remain or linger in one place. Not the same thing. Me and Parker play Scrabble on Fridays. ” He replied, a satisfied smile on his face.

“Have you moved at all in the past twenty minutes?” she said, and the smile vanished.

“I scratched my ear.”

“Hoverer.”
