Really good, so cute!

Nice this is very well written.

loved it:)

Very Nice! Thanks for the good story.

Thank you! Loved getting into Ziva's head, and loved that fact the Tim IS NOT with Abby! She's a spoiled brat and doesn't deserve him, and I love the way you wrote this out

Incredibly well-written. You have Ziva's voice SPOT ON. Which is so difficult.

"For Sherry, who loves McGiva. :) I don’t ship them personally, but I’ve been meaning to see if I can write the pairing for a while. I’m not sure how I’ve done yet. XD" - I love me some McGiva too. The only NCIS pairing I do not like is anything with DiNozzo as one of the pairing, as IMO somebody that repulsive (I LOATHE DiNozzo with every fibre of my being, primarily because the dunce cannot lay off of teasing my Timmy so very cruelly and then he has the nerve to be very hurt when my Timmy gets back at him and my Timmy being the kind-hearted soul he is, always winds up apologising to that vile DiNozzo profusely and IMO unnecessarily!) does not deserve to BE in any pairing!
"Once they do, Tony begins to throw around cutting comments, mainly aimed at Tim, who deals with the situation by becoming more subdued than usual." - Yes, like that! Yuck!
"Tomorrow will mark the third anniversary of the day a bullet bored its way through Kate’s skull," - All hail fanfic writer Chirugal for her correct use of the possessive pronoun "its"!
“Aren’t you coming, Tony?” “Gibbs won’t let me leave until I’ve finished this report,” he grumbles. “How come you guys never have to do the pain-in-the-ass paperwork?” “Because you’re the senior field agent?” McGee points out. “And you delight in reminding us of this at least once a week?” I chime in, amused by the disgruntled way he waves a hand at us." - A very malicious LOL from me at DiNozzo's expense.
"His smile, so carefree as he swept a giggling Tali up off the ground and over his shoulder. His eyes like fire as he stormed out of our father’s office and past me, cursing under his breath. The way he let me cling to him when he told me of Tali’s death; the comforting big brother." - Ziva's memories of Ari there made me feel quite sad. Did you mean for them to do that to your readers/reviewers?
"Leaving my Mini parked forlornly by the curb," - Minis (the 60s versions and the newer Coopers of the early 20s) can get that way, all forlorn, in a way few other makes of car can, IMO. There is a British chick lit author called Freya North, who wrote a novel called "Sally" in about 1996. The title character's 60s Mini got equally forlorn, with its little headlights dimming gradually and its equally little battery running down totally. And if you have not guessed yet, I want, with every fibre of my being, A Mini Cooper like the one Ziva has, or a 60s one like the one Sally has. Snout, my own white 2004 Daihatsu Charade, though very cute in her own right, does still not quite match up, IMO, to the ultimate level of cuteness of a Mini of either era, and red, like Ziva's, especially.
Though, come to think of it, why did Ziva's Mini not look forlorn when it got left (unless you think it did look forlorn then? I don't think it did.) by the curb in "Shalom", the season 4 premiere?
Oh wow! at that nice ending!
Sequel, please? A sir-little tease type one, except with Tim and Ziva?

Fantastic! This is so well done and so fitting! Loved it!

You writing a McGiva fic definitely sparked my interest... and I must say, I am not disapointed with the result.

But the last line definitely calls for more elaboration... that "fire" in McGee is something really interesting... I'd love to read more in the future :)

Gee, That was sad,, but so wonderful. And even though I am not a McGiva shipper, this could make me see it, and very well too.

Well crafted and engaging, as your writing always is. Good show, you.

I believe that a sign of a good writer is to make us see something that we normally wouldn't believe. Good Job.

Holy cow, you did it. You did it WELL. I still can't see the ship, but you made me at least believe it could happen.

Kudos!
