I've been receiving a few emails and LJ posts from impatient folk asking (very nicely!) when the Epic will be posted, so I thought I should give an update. I'm doing my second edit at the moment as the first one turned out not to be good enough.
As of about five minutes ago it was STILL untitled. I've never had so much trouble with a title! I talked it over endlessly with my team of trusty advisers - namely![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
nikitariddick, liresius, bluespirit_star, taylorgibbs, flyingnorth and Haggy and we all came up with numerous suggestions. But, I'm going with "Two Masters" which Kalrhyssian helped me decide upon :-).
Bluespirit has made three gorgeous graphics for me - I'm posting the first one today.
Okay, onto the posting schedule. I'm going to post part one on Sunday 11th October. That's just part one which is about 4000 words long. Think of it as a really long teaser if you like *g*. There's a method to my madness which will become clear when I've posted that bit. Well, it'll become clear to some people. For others, not so much. Hmm, I think I am possibly being annoyingly cryptic... I'll then post a few chapters each day, finishing up the following Sunday, 18th October which is when I'll also post the entire story on my website.
As a thank you for your patience, or possibly another instance of me being very annoying (take your pick!), below the cut are the story details, with a summary, and a NEW teaser bit. AND...I'm posting the first graphic too. Squeee!
Title: Two Masters
Author: Xanthe
Fandom: NCIS
Pairing: Gibbs/DiNozzo
Genre: Slash
Categories: BDSM, angst, romance.
Rating: NC17/FRAO
Status: Complete
Wordcount: 201,000ish (I know. Sigh.)
Spoilers: Judgement Day, Agent Afloat
Warning: Graphic scenes of loving, consensual, lifestyle BDSM sex, including spanking, bondage, D/s, orgasm denial, biting, marking, and pain play.
Summary: Tony decides that he wants more from Gibbs than headslaps. But can Gibbs be persuaded to love again, and is Tony prepared to confront the demons from his past and learn how to trust?
Extract: "You can belong to me, or to the past," Gibbs told him. "But not both. You can't serve two masters."
