Summary
What if Brennan and Booth’s story didn’t have to wait until grief pushed them together? After the mistletoe kiss, before the tragedy of Vincent Nigel-Murray, there was space—just enough—for an awkward dinner invitation, a nudge from Angela, and the smallest shift from colleagues to something more. A missing-scene bridge fic about the connection they might have been building all along.
Timeline placement: This fic is set after “The Santa in the Slush” (3x09) and before “The Hole in the Heart” (6x22).
Canon divergence: Explores a gradual pivot into romance that canon skipped, bridging mistletoe kiss → established intimacy.
Writing this in response to a Bones subreddit itching for more backstory on the intimacy of these two.

Summary
When Liam ends up staying in Airy’s cabin, he quickly discovers that “hospitality” means something very different on this planet. Airy’s so-called bed is nothing more than a wooden board, and Liam refuses to sacrifice his spine to it. What begins as a simple disagreement spirals into an all-out war of stubbornness, sarcasm, and wildly different expectations of comfort.
Airy doesn’t understand what the problem is. Liam refuses to back down.
The end result? Arguments, exasperation, and a very awkward idea of “sharing.” -
