*thud* That was my head hitting the floor after finishing this fantastic fic! I had to read it straight through, and I'm sorry I didn't stop off long enough after each chapter to offer feedback, but I just had to keep going! I'm sure I'm echoing many of the comments already, but I have to say, that you offer such a wonderfully clear picture of every character. I see this play out in my mind as I read. I see every expression, feel Tony's unmanageable grief and anger over Abby's death and Gibbs happiness at having Louis and Tony in his life! I loved how comfortable Tony was with Gibbs. Tim and Tony getting drunk together and airing out their issues was funny yet touching, knowing how they both needed to do it. And I'm so glad that poor Tim has someone!
You've outdone yourself, Xanthe. Bravo and *hugs*. I am so glad I stumbled over your X-Files fics a while back and followed you here!
