Nice!

Aww very nice, love mcnozzo bonding. Want more..

Wow this was awesome you showed Tony's pain and uncertainty but also how much Tim has grown up how much he has observed

Uncomfortable or not, whether he - or Tony - thought so or not, Tim had the right answer every time. Great to see his courage (and sideways thinking, something the young Tim was never famous for) in dealing with his friend's bitter pain.

Wonderful. You caught all the angst perfectly. It didn't fall into a pity party. And Tony's going to be ok. Not now, but soon. As the old saying goes, 'Every journey begins with a single step.'

A different Tony. Still can't believe Ziva's gone! Even a different Tim. Interesting.

Always interesting how Tony needs to hit rockbottom to find his way. Poor guy. Tim did give some good advice.
Love the Billy Joel song, was reading this while listening to Miami 2017 and then Captain Jack.

Another excellent story. Tony definitely has grown up over the years and so had Tim. McGee may have fidgeted but he didn't stammer or hesitate in giving Tony the help he needed. Its nice to see that by just being there, being a sounding board and, more importantly, a friend that Tim kept Tony from falling in a bottle (which is no answer to his problem at all). Good work!

Mom

Very well done. Thank you

Nice story. I like the friendship between Tim and Tony and it isn't always explored without one or the other being totally out of character. You captured it nicely. Thanks!

Nice little story.

Nice. Love the banter between Tim and Tony.

Have to say, I've been a little hesitant about the challenge, but this...I like this! Good Tony, good Tim.
