HE DOESNT KNOW HOW GIBBS COULD HAVE EVER LEFT THEM BUT HE KNOWS THAT HE'LL NEVER DO THE SAMEEEEE oh my god this FIC. this fic! oh man oh man. i don't even know how to express myself i LOVED this so much. it was phenomenal. i don't know what it is about tony dinozzo but sometimes in fics people Get him and write him into a fourth dimension of character i'd never considered and you did that. absolutely. honestly i'm beginning to think my favorite era of ncis was tony boss era which is funny and a little bit sad since it was almost entirely offscreen and only technically lasted like two episodes max but it was a good time. a time of intriguingly altered dynamics and things i would have loved to see progress further. alas it was not to be but fics like this give me a glimpse of what they took from me and i thank you for it. everything about this was just so...heartwarming. and heartwrenching. lot of things to do with the heart. snakes on a plane and tony figuring out how to be a leader and the letters to mcgee and gibbs and the rules and the revenge flowchart...god. they're so important to me. these freaks 3 i loved reading this so so so so much. thank you for writing and sharing it because you did a phenomenal job and it has made me so delighted this evening.

Such a fun, creative, funny story! I love that your stories have the team acting like a family instead of the whiny way they acted on the tv show.

Oh man, what a smart, funny story, and it does such perfect justice to Tony and his new role as team leader. I love how you showcase how well he knows each of his agents and how much he wants them to work together well. I think my favorite bits were how he gets them each to agree to see Snakes on a Plane and Ziva's "We were just sure you'd know one" - lol! I really wish we'd gotten to see more of Tony as the team leader on the show, because this feels so accurate to how good he would've been at it - reading this, I didn't even miss Gibbs!

P.S. Congratulations! You have one of the most-reviewed stories in this fandom, and I'll be sharing it at my forum. :)

That was fantastic!

fun story to read

that was so amazingly adorable I don't even know what to do

You’re very skilled at writing
I don’t know many people who have the ability to say such hilarious, sad and heartwarming (with reference to all your stories) things in the most casual way without seeming fake in any capacity.
Please continue writing

Aw! This is great! McGee's Big Chart of Death made me laugh out loud! ;)

I had forgotten how good this story is. I just read a lot of drek, so it was very refreshing to find this one again.

Ohhh my god that was really cute.

WOW - WOW - WOW - terrific!

Heartwarming, hilarious, and heartrending. :')

This is so mushy and adorable, I love it. It made me laugh so much. Gawd, what even. This is perfection in and of itself.
