It's going to be quite a shock if they find a picture of him online. I don't suppose there's any way to get Angel to go along with them to meet him? Or maybe they contact him and he flies out to Sunnydale, maybe with Brennan along? (at first chapter I thought W. was going to turn out to be Brennan's kid, but this works out better). Got to wonder if maybe Seeley is a descendant of Angel's somehow... And hey, Willow has a kid (half) brother! Brennan would be impressed with Willow --brilliant student, has done autopsies etc....

Outside of rage against Willows parents and a vague coroners report about remains in a cave equals suicide this is a good read. Seeley Booth as love 'em and leave 'em tells me you have a lot of covering reasons and revealing truths to get through before you wrap this one up. EDIT 11/09/10. I realize during a reading of the reviews that it seems that I have doubts about the plot hints I mentioned above. Sorry about that. Please update soon!
1: No one ever called Willow "Wills" at any time during the series. They would sometimes call her "Will."
2: Xander never reuses any of the nicknames he bestows on people. He uses them once, and move on. He called Giles "G-Man" just once. He called Angel "Deadboy" just once. We never heard him use any sort of nickname for Willow or Cordelia, probably because he ran out of new ideas for things to call them years ago. In the first couple of seasons he came up with a few one-shot nicknames for Buffy, but from season 3 on, she was Buffy or Buff. He had a couple of nicknames for Dawn in season 5, but after that, she was just Dawn.

SEELEY FREAKIN' BOOTH AND YOU LEAVE IT THERE? You are truly the stuff of evil. I...gah. This needs to be updated yesterday because this cliffhanger is just cruel, damn it.
There are some terminology slip-ups regarding the fact that Willow's an American and we use different names for things and I haven't the faintest clue where you're from -- Um, a...texta, was it? I assume that's a permanent marker? Stuff like that. But it's easy enough to figure out eventually.
Another thing. Jesse's name was spelled thusly. You're utilizing the feminine version for a male character.
Other than that, this was just beyond brilliant, especially considering I haven't watched much -- if any -- of Bones at all. You've pulled me in. Bravo!

I've never liked the Rosenburgs. I can't imagine Mrs. Summers not reporting them to Child Services if Willow comes to live with her and Buffy. I wonder what having their daughter taken away for neglect would do to their careers?

I have to wonder who'll be more surprised at the meeting; Booth when he learns that he has a teenage daughter- judging by the dating I'm assuming that he shipped out and was hence unaware of Willow's birth-, or Willow when she learns that her father is the exact double of her best friend's boyfriend (Given the timings I feel safe assuming that this isn't an 'Angel-becomes-Booth'-style crossover.
Hope you update soon; I DEFINITELY look forward to the next chapter (Oh, and the possibility of Booth's reaction when he learns that his daughter is essentially a 'squint-in-training' should be good as well)

To reassure you, in some cases, adoption agencies *can*, in fact, give out parental information to the children, or vice versa. Basically, if the parent has already registered with the agency to allow them to be contacted if the child ever wants to, then they can give out that contact information. And vice versa, if the parents have not registered with the agency, the child can leave contact information with the agency in case the biological parents ever try to look them up to see how they are. Basically, it's an if-they-both-consent case.
So assuming Willow's bio parent(s) have already agreed to be found if their child wanted to, then the agency will gladly hand out that information. Technically they wouldn't do it over the internet - she'd have to come in and show identification and sign paperwork - but she would, in fact, be able to gain access to that information.
It's too bad Hallie the Justice Demon isn't around. If she was, and I was Willow, I would wish that everyone found out just what kind of parents the Rosenbergs were.
