Bones and Sully is relationship between Temperance Brennan and Tim Sullivan.
History[]
Brennan had a brief relationship with FBI Agent Eugene Sullivan, also known as Sully, whom she met while on a case when Booth was in therapy due to his grief-induced rage over his self-perceived role in the death of serial killer Howard Epps. Sully asked Dr. Brennan out on a date after their case was completed, and they began a relationship. Their relationship ended, however, when Sully decided to sail a boat down to the Caribbean, and Brennan declined to leave the Jeffersonian to go with him despite Angela trying to persuade her to follow him.
Psychiatrist Doctor Gordon Wyatt speculated that this was due to Brennan being unable to live a life without purpose. Despite Dr. Wyatt's original perception as to why she stayed, there exist strong indications, especially through Angela's observations of the situation, that the real reason she stayed was because of Booth.
Sully returns to the Jeffersonian Institute after Max's death, he will be here to support Brennan, who will be very much needed by him to overcome this ordeal, and they conclude about their relationship: nothing could have led to the fact that Brennan's feelings for Booth will always be very strong.
