Wow, what a total rollercoaster! Packed with way more events than I expected, that's for sure! Very interesting take on the in-fighting among the agents at NCIS. I've been doing a full re-watch (because HELLO ZIVA DAVID IS FREAKING ALIVE) and my goodness are they mean to each other! DiNozzo is forever picking on McGee, I cringe every time McGee makes fun of Tony for falling in love while undercover, Gibbs is just... ugh and Ziva likes to get a hit in whenever she can. Like, damn. Can't you guys just be nice to one another dammit? Phew. Vented and I feel better now. Very pleased with the conclusion to this story 3

Amazing how mcgee is main focus he gets more space when his being talk to but then the small parts tony is being talk to uts still all about mcgee cause they hust talk about mcgee nothing about what poor tony had to go through too nope just tim tim tim

Of course mcgee gets taken while tony is only injured talk about this being all about mcgee

Always trying to make it out that Tony is the bad one does my fucking head in why have people got to make mcgee the poor fucking victim with main focus and always tony being forced the look the bad guy

why is he telling tony and ziva they are destroying the team ziva had nothing to do with the mess they were in

I have over five hundred stories among my favorites, but this is the number one. Perfect and wonderful.

perfect

Love this very final scene, Tony's embrace and Tim ... This is the best fanfic I've ever read, my favorite.

Ah, my friend, it's been more than a year since you finished this, but I can't help writing a review since I just found this story and I don't know if anyone will read it. Even if McGee is behaving like a jerk here, I can hardly blame him for his reactions.. He's been mocked, put down, humiliated, not to mention his work was stolen by Tony mercilessly for years.. One can only stand for that long towards such a repetitive series of assaults for years. I know because I have been a victim of verbal and moral abuse for more than 30 years, and this from a member of my family-my mother-in-law ! And it became worse when my daughter was diagnosed as autistic : she kept blaming me for being a bad mom, plus kept searching for people with a mental disease or disability in my family and my husband never stood up for me. Now she is suffering from Alzheimer and is a shadow of her former self, but I cannot find myself feeling any compassion for her. After years of abuse, I resent her so much that I don't want to be near her anymore, which surprises my husband. He says that it is not like me and he is right. I am one of the most understanding persons in the world, but I have reached my limits and I only have patience for my children now. I think that in your story McGee is in the same situation as me. I didn't punch or get rude with her, but I even hate the idea of talking with her. I feel that McGee has reached his limits, especially after what Tony told HIM and Abby .

Excellent! The world has too many supremacist who believe they have the correct belief, color or what ever. I guess that is why this is the USA, even jerks have rights. Did a good job with our boys.

Beautiful story, is Mcnozzo in all its perfection, with love and friendship in the right measure. I have lost count of how many times I read and reread. Congratulations.

I really enjoyed this. Tony has grown on me, but he's still my least favorite character, so it's really good to see into his head more, and you write him very, very well. I liked this a lot as the character study you created it to be. Thanks again!

Whenever I can't find anything new, this is one of the stories that I reread. I love the interaction among the team members, the voices you give to original characters, and the humor amid the drama. While I certainly have my favorite character, you make everyone interesting.

Awesome story. I'm happy to have found your stories after Esperanza showed in my search results. You have amazing story telling gifts.

You are so right. It is about the story and how the parts fit. And I LOVE your attitude about reviews!
