WOW. This is breathtakingly beautiful, heartbreaking and heartwrenching. You've portrayed all the characters really accurately, and their emotional depths are done brilliantly. So much emotion radiating out of your words. Absolutely fantastic writing.

What an intense and complicated but simply beautiful story. It's very "interior," and I love that we get that from Ziva, who's so "exterior." Love. Always love.

This chapter is a beautiful, canonical example of the light-and-heavy that these characters are so capable of.

Mayim Chayim. Beautiful.

"exposing her body and the evidence of what had been done to it."

Ouch. And thank you.

I deeply appreciate your linking spiritual growth and healing to the NCIS world. It is the one thing, a most important thing, that I find lacking in the show. Mash had Father Mulcahey, and I have often thought that NCIS needs a chaplain more often than has been shown.
Thank you for sharing your story. Excellent writing.

aww loved it

lol what is tony like sucha gossip when it comes to ziva he he

wow

I loved this story, mainly for the spiritual aspect, and also for the healing Zeva experianced. Heck I just loved every thing about this story, Yea I know about the friends and family finding this site, mine know that im writing stories and posting them, but I refuse to let them read it and I refuse to tell them how to find it on here, I keep my notebooks well guarded. keep writing if you still are.

This story touched me in ways unimaginable to you and I am deeply grateful. It is going into my favorites immediately, and I am going to copy it and put it into a MS Word document and save it on my hard drive just in case whomever it is from your real life cause you more consternation. (By the way, you can let me and Mike Franks know who it is and we'll take care of 'em for ya.)

Thank you very much for posting this.

All the best to you.

Wonderful story. I very much enjoyed it. Great job. Thanks for posting it. :)

Love love love this. GORGEOUS. I love the theme of Ziva not having been forsaken, the idea that the voice she heard saying that was the part of her that was not broken. This is truly excellent work throughout, and, honestly, just what I needed today. I feel renewed by the reading. Thank you.

Nice. I was surprised, two chapters ago, at your decision to have Abby freak; she usually is so *strong* at those perfect times...and this explanation of how *moved* she was at the beauty and courage and purity of the experience...it's perfect.

I knew KNEW she was going to use the "let Abby see me naked" thing to mess with Tony. I LOVE how palpable the relief is in this chapter...and how Ziva knows Tony suspects, but she doesn't want that suspicion confirmed and solidified by giving him information...not yet. Nicely done.
