Love this story! Great insight! You filled a big gap left by the show!

GREAT extended tag - terrific response to death.

One of the best stories I've read on here.
I like it when we can see behind the masks of the characters.
You really showed the teams' heart in this, so very nice.

3 333333 !

How did I miss this fabulous story? Awesome job!

Wow very good ending.

Oh wow I didn't see that coming . I would have thought he would have folded.

Wow interesting and very nice.

Wow very good and oh boy now I am worried just like Gibbs and Abby are.

Nice job and interesting in Ziva's way. Hmm so Tony broke up with Paula. I had wondered.

Aww nice and so Tony . Very good.

Aww that brought a tear to my eye thank you very good. And the chapter before it was good as well.

Yay! got everyone done! Thank you for writing this awesome story! Gosh, my favorite's list is going to overflow with your stories. ;)

I love all your stories, but I had somehow missed this one. It's great- I really love the characterization of Tony and Gibbs in this one!

He followed blindly vaguely registering that Gibbs was speaking to someone else but, feeling nothing but the heat of that connection, as he was led outside and pushed down to sit on the kerb.

"My father always said I'd end up in the gutter." He observed bleakly.

...:(

"Shut up, DiNozzo." Gibbs spoke not unkindly.

...He's so sweet...:P:P:)

"Yeah," Gibbs wasn't agreeing. "I can see that..."

...I love how you use lines from previous episodes...I love it when characters repeat good lines at appropriate moments.:)

"I wasn't in love with her." Tony's voice was almost too quiet to hear.

"Only because you didn't let yourself be," Gibbs countered softly.

...I honestly don't know which part of that I find more heartbreaking...:(:(:(
