I fell in love with their friendship. I often ship pairings with canonical friendships, so I went into the movie unspoiled and expecting to see the great and wondrous K/S of fame and legend. (Amusingly, I did, in Spock Prime -- one day I'm totally going to write K/S!P about S!P going 'it's an adorable naughty young version of my bestest naked friend! Hooray!' but I digress.) Instead, among other niftinesses I watched one of the cutest meet cutes ever ("I may throw up on you" has never been sexier, somehow) and an epic and lovable friendship with enough touching and insane loyalty to inspire thousands of slashfics.
When I'm writing them I try to remember:
1) Jim is perceptive and brilliant. The frat-boy affect is just that, a mask. 2) Bones has a giant heart under his rough tongue. 3) Bones is also a young doctor and a trauma surgeon. The whole sensible-old-man-and-not-an-adrenaline-junkie-like-you-kid way he presents himself is somewhere between a relative effect and a pure facade. 4) They bitch and argue and snark and probably have had a fistfight or two and utterly love each other.
