I enjoyed it very much :)

Nice start :)

Even better the third time I read it.

this is a REALLY believable story. i've never sat through an entire fic that has DiNozzo as one of the main characters. This is mainly because so much of the time on the show, he seems so flat, and i think he deserves more than that from authors, who mostly can't or don't deliver that for him. you really got inside his head and strip him of his layers and lay him out for all the world to see. i'm extremely impressed.

i like the part about everything Gibbs says having a fill-in-the-blank after it, because it's totally true. and he does look rather like an iguana sometimes lol. i'm loving this story.

great story.

WOW.

Have read this whole story over the last two days, and just WOW.

Your ability at writing good quality crimefic as well as drawing out the NCIS characters (in this case Tony and Gibbs) is really very excellent.

Top quality, loved it. Definitely a major favourite.

Wow. A fascinating look into just what possessed Gibbs to hire Tony - I think this made it into my personal canon for this particular series. Thanks for the fantastic read, and good luck with whatever muses next happen to cross your keyboard!

I truely enjoyed this story. It was very well thought out and very well written. Kudos to you! I'm adding you to my Author Alerts.

This was a really great read. I couldn't stop reading it until I reached the end. Good job.

Hey! This was a well-written, believable story. It explains a lot about Tony's past and his relationship with Gibbs. It is insightful and moving. I look forward to reading the sequel.

have recently been a bit obsessed with NCIS. watching the series and just the last two days reading fanfic. love it.

Wow! I stumbled across one of your other stories through a rec site, and couldn't stop reading. Your Tony is amazing and your plots are fantastic. The bits about 'the frog' -really being his daughter, or running a terrorist cell Tony stopped- in particular were just on the right side of plausible.

The way Tony interacts with other characters; Gibbs, McGee, Abby, Ziva, Pete, even his smary ex-partner is also wonderful. There's depth, and backstory, feeling, and a care-free veneer. Your Tony can read people, but chooses not to flaunt that knowledge, and acts almost childishly because that's what works. I've seen quite a few authors attempt to create a character like that, and usually they feel clunky and overdone, this feels smooth.

I wish there were more to read, though I am new both to the TV show and your writing. I'm sorry, but I have to ask; do you plan to write that sequal, or are you done with fanfiction/ncis? If you have time and are reading this, could you please send me any reccomendations if you have any?

Thanks so much for writing!

really liked it, but i was bored and it was really long and slow. a sweet story for summer reading, not so much for reading during the school year.
