I don't review my own stories very often, but I feel I need to address to address a comment and since this is a one-shot and cannot respond to guests directly, this will have to do. I read the rules and guidelines and found that there is no rule against
Making a comment on my own reviews , please read my author's note at the top of this story. You will see that I DID give Debs credit for the story idea. And by the way, she did know that I was writing this. She gave a challenge and three of us responded to it. That's that. The stories were similar cause it was the same challenge but different as well.

I did enjoy it. I will admit, I am not a huge TIVA fan, but I really like the way you put the Gibbs/Tony relationship on a good foot. Thank you for this story!

Since it clearly wasn't a challenge/prompt just an idea she put out for her fanfic writer Twitter friends it would be much more honest of you if you credited Debs with the original story idea. Sure you get writing credit for this but the idea was HERS!

I'm guessing you didn't ask her permission to use it?

Perfect

Enjoyed it that Gibbs admitted he was wrong and apologized for Gibbs that did take guts to do. Glad he did it.

Im not crying. Add some more!

Great chapter.

Great writing.

Thanks for posting

That almost made me cry! It was so sweet! I liked Toni’s discussion! Makes me want more!

I love it!

Wonderful story
Very accurate and sweet of Tony and Tali
I’m glad Gibbs did what he had to do to make things right

I like how you've had Gibbs actually say sorry in this fic. Also the way you've written Tali is adorable. Nice way of working the prompt.

Yay for Tiva goodness!

Bit OOC for Gibbs on the dialog; and Tali is five not four in canon. Interesting take on events of the end of 'Out of the Darkness'
