Incredible story. I loved it!

This was adorable!

Ok. I read this, and not only is this breathtaking, it's gorgeous and absolutely stunning. You are SUCH a fantastic writer, and this work just accentuates your ability...

Loved the little things you put in for characterization. Your Tony is perfect, and Ziva is adorable.

If you ever do decide to come back to update, please do! I can only hope one day to write as well as you do...

Absolutely hilarious! I loved it!

I team-read this one with a NCIS groupie. We loved it. Here are some of my favorite bits:

"Celtic music (Tony’s not admitting to anything)"

"b) his team is made up of angry, emotionally fragile people that like individual attention."

"'Yes, Tony, absolutely,' Palmer says, and knocks something over."

McGee’s reaction to *Snakes on a Plane*

"But Tony knows enough about inevitability to know that if he keeps it up, wrong-and-sad-but-fun will start to describe way too much of his life."

Very durable people

All of section eight

"Tony tries to remember that these people are well-educated, full-grown adults who help him solve crimes. They help protect the nation. 'Wow, are we screwed,' he says absently."

Ziva assuming he'd know a movie to go with the flowchart

It was just all so IC and so well-written and terrific. Thank you for a wonderful read.

This was amazing. You had me laughing and crying and I could see every bit of it as if it were in an episode. Loved the "Snakes on a Plane" bit. Just absolutely perfect. I can't wait to read more of your stuff!

Fantastic story. Absolutely loved it. It had just the right balance of everything.

It's so sweet and right in that aching chest giggly happy way that hurts but in a good way.

I loved it.

This is the story I wish we had seen post-Hiatus, with a real team feel to it, and Tony being loved and supported by his team (instead of having to endure"You're not Gibbs"). Also quite hysterical. Have to check out your other fics now...

Oh god, I love this. It was quirky and angsty, and heartwarming and just wonderful altogether. Awesome fic. Did I mention that I love it?

::hearts::

This was...wow. Amazing. Such a perfect image of what happened after Hiatus as the team adjusts to life without Gibbs. I am always intrigued at seeing Tony become more Gibbs-like, especially in the leadership role. But I also like how he still remained Tony through it all...sort of the best of both worlds. All through the story, though, ran a hint of despair and loneliness as clearly there is something missing (Gibbs...and Tony realizing he is at the top of the 'revenge for' chart). There was so many little things in this that really showed off your knowledge of the characters and made this whole thing feel just...perfect. Also, I love, love, love the flowchart and highlighter/office supply obsession. Hilarious and so fitting too...as was McGee's Flowchart of Death. He. He so would! Fabulous job! I'm off to see if you have any more NCIS fic for me to devour...

I read this a long time ago and loved it, and then I came back and read it again, and loved it again. Beautiful. :D

haha, this was so cute! you've really tapped into their personalities, and I love the whole naming-incidents situations. the team is too cute! :) bravo.
