Wow! This rocked my socks. I did notice the lack of punctuation, but your words were too freakin' amazing to get stuck on something as trivial as that. I think if I had to pick my favourite part it would be the first one. I totally loved the line "yelling was not an improver of reception." That is TOTALLY Tiva!

Seriously mindbogglingly good, Zae. It's going on the favs.

Hey, Zaedah!

I hope you're doing fine!

With this story, I've read the first NCIS-fic again after a long time... And wow! It was absolutely amazing!

I love your style of writing very, very much. Though I had to read the story twice (maybe it's my lack of English or the lack of training) but that only made it better! The paragraphs are really beautiful, one might call them poetic. Your images of Tony's life combine into one huge, beautiful picture. Sad, sometimes, and lonely on other times, but since he has his family and Ziva I hope he won't notice that often.

The way you compare his life to stations is absolutely wonderful. And the fact that Ziva has her part in each station is great! I enjoyed reading a lot, once again. Thanks for writing and sharing this amazing story!

Did I mention it was absolutely perfect?

Zaedah, you're back!

Very clever, the symbolism of five, and the mirroring in the last line of each section. And no, the e. device didn't disturb me at all!

I LOVE the fourth segment - intriguing concept for why Tony had to keep moving around, and it also explains why he "pretended" to be ignorant about drugs when challenged as to whether he really did work narcotics.

A high-five for you! *grin*

Oh, the last one..."ziva's perfect like that..." it made me smile sadly.

She is.

For him.

And your stories give us that.

Thank you.

I liked it.

So much.

sniff

You know,I never even noticed the lack of capitals till the felt like I was reading poetry in prose,I suppose...fascinating...

Nice job! :)

*sigh* Perfect and beautiful as always. Loved the five moments.

Well that was very poetic of you. Haha, I loved it, but I couldn't decide if the lack of capitols was annoying or not.

Interesting, a bit different from your norm, and still very enjoyable.

have you been reading e e cummings lately? Lol.

Seriously, another lovely work. The pieces that you use to fill in his background are interesting and original ideas. The connection to her at the end of each seemingly unrelated memory is very clever. And the very last one is an awww moment.

I'm so glad you're a Tiva shipper. You add class and style to the genre.

The lack of capitals, though somewhat irritating at first, definitely added something to the tone of the story. Almost a whisper of things to come, not blunt and obvious. Beautiful.

Awesome fic. I liked the extended metaphor. Is there a reason, there are no capital letters?
