I really love this. The way that this is almost an exact mirror of Leah and Kirk in your MU-where Kirk breaks her with cruelty and pain, Bones breaks Jen with love and tenderness- is like a poem, the way it fits together.
Also it has apparently rendered me incoherent, cause I'm pretty sure that doesn't make sense.
As to the crying- I was a theatre major in college, and I was constantly surrounded by people weeping and moaning and having emotions for fun. I became known as the stoic one (I'm so not) because I never went over the top. Until one day in my last semester, I was taking this bullshit drafting class and I had been up til 5am trying to get a center section with a spiral staircase to look right and I was angry I was wasting really expensive vellum, and I was tired and frustrated and falling behind in my other classes because of it and I was GRADUATING and insecure and my instructor walks into the 9:30 class, looks at it, and says "Oh. That's wrong."
I burst into angry, exhausted tears. That's what I saw here - not weakness, just a pent up exasperation with the whole shitty hand life deals, that only comes out when you least want it to.
