You should do a sequel to this story. Maybe have Tony run back to his cottage because his feelings for Gibbs is to much to contain and while Tony is gone Gibbs finds out that he could be in love with Tony. It could be interesting.

This may be a useless comment, but never ever mix fat based lubricant with latex condoms. It destroys them. Sorry just a thing that always bugs me. Other than that, despite the dubious consent I think it's interesting

Wow... That was just like real life. Full of unfair disappointments.

D'awww. I was a little upset that they didn't get together but then again, the bittersweet ending made it a little less disappointing, but it was a good disappointment (if there is such a thing). Very well done and I shall expect your other works to be just as good!

SO SORRY ABOUT YOUR DEPRESSION. I HOPE THIS FINDS YOU DOING WELL. YOU ARE SUCH A GOOD WRITER AND I HAVE ALWAYS ENJOYED READING YOUR STORIES. LOVE TONY AND GIBBS AS FATHER/SON AND NOW THAT I STARTED READING SLASHY STORIES -THOSE TOO. LOVE NCIS AND HOPE YOU CONTINUE TO FIND THE TIME TO WRITE! TAKE CARE AND TAKE IT ONE DAY AT A TIME THAT IS ALL ANY OF US CAN DO!

I want the happy ending!

Loved the fic, but I don't think Tony can take it forever now, not real love, not once he's tasted it.

Please write a sequel and give Gibbs time to heal over Shannon and decide he can love Tony. Pretty Please.

Wow! Not what I expected, in a good way though. I really liked the story. You are a good writer.

Bittersweet, but very nicely done.

Have you thought of writing a sequel that deals with Gibbs working through his grief about Shannon and Kelly. Right now, it makes sense he wouldn't be able to love anyone because it's like he lost them yesterday. However, that would change as he heals. It doesn't mean he wouldn't always love Shannon (and obviously Kelly), but he could come to love Tony like that, too. Afterall, we're getting ready to start the 8th season. That's plenty of time to work through a lot of his issues. Plus, with Tony getting into trouble so much (plague, kidnapped, shot, etc...), it could affect Gibbs and how he reacts to Tony. Anyway, great story.

Even knowing how it would turn out, it made the not "hea" no easier to take. But maybe for this situation it is as hea as it could ever be. Don't worry, I will keep begging for a sequel, and maybbe someday Tony and Leroy will have their time.

Tony when you hope for the impossible, sometimes you have to be happy with whatever you can get. yeh, that sounds like my life motto.

It couldn't go on forever I guess, maybe if it had gone on a little longer Leroy would have really started to react, but now Tony will never know. But what will they do now?

Well, Tony was able to draw some lines in his love for his Leroy in the difficult situation they Both have been placed in.

Having betaed this there was a debate over the content of this chapter but I came to believe that what Tony did was out of pure love for Leroy and while consent might have been in question for some, it wasn't for me anymore.

heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey the 7th chapter makes so much more sense when you read the 6th D i love when i dont notice that i skipped a chapter. i just remembered gibbs had woken up so i figured you fastforwarded from there D
