Great story! Those letters made me tear up. This is a good version of how they might have met and I loved the ending! Very Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo indeed!

Have you any clue how supremely irritating it is to be reading a relatively decent fic, only to come across the inane usage of an asterisk instead of a properly-spelled cuss word? If you have problems with cussing, don’t use the words! If you use them, then actually use them. To use an asterisk instead of the vowel(s) needed for proper spelling is simply juvenile and highly jarring to your readers.

Oh my goodness but I loved this story! I didn't want it to come to an end but I couldn't stop 't it be great to see this as a show? Thanks for sharing such a wonderful !

For some reason I can't get enough of these 'how Gibbs met Tony' stories, thanks for a good one! Canon speaking Tony is very bad with children and yet time and again fan authors throw him in with a little girl, like you did, and he is so very sweat with them...maybe its only little boys he has trouble with ;D ? There were a few minor tense changes and missing words here and there but not enough to turn me off. Also he wouldn't be going in as Senor Field Agent, he would have been a Proby. [something looks wrong with that word.] Over all I liked it. Especially the bit about Gibbs reading Tony's love letters in the middle of the night :).

oh and maybe you should put something about Baltimore in the summery, when I go looking for 'first meetings' stories I sometimes search keyword; Baltimore. I don't know, but maybe I'm not the only one.

Fabulous story!

Bloomin' marvelous, thanks for taking the time to write this great story for us to read. It was awesome and I look forward to seeing whatever you come up with next.

Loved it. Very angsty, but I liked how they all got involved with Tony. Fun with Italian and seeing his best sides.

Finally got the entire story read and Loved every minute of it. Very well written and very nicely done. Great job.

Awww :'( it's finished! Maybe u can do an epilogue where Tessie visits NCIS? I cried when I read her letter...

I loved it! Amazing what we do for family!

This was amazing! I love the ending.

Thanks for a great story, each chapter left you wanting to read more. Thanks Juliexx

Excedlent story! I loved the last few chapters, full of angst, danger, excitement and more Tony Whump! What more can I ask for? :-) I hope you will write more stories like this!

I love the story cuz I love a good Tony Whump fic - but two things were nagging at me - one was that Tony had a cut on his eye that prob needed stitches and I don't see that mentioned, also having Ducky splint his busted fingers maybe? Second thing is that Gibbs, Abby and Ducky acted way too familiar with Tony which wld not be the case so quickly. If you met a stranger like that you would probably need to be reminded of their name a couple of times and you would prob refer to him as "he" or "him" etc until you got to know him a little. Minor things but I am a sucker for the little details. :-)

Great story...loved how it started out being fired and ended with Tony having a new family...please write a sequel
