I really enjoyed this, a little different to the other fics of yours I’ve read, not that this is bad, different it fine by me :0) I’ve never seen Tony and Abby as having anything but a fraternal relationship, but I happy to read otherwise and you made it believable, even if I’m still not be persuaded. Tim was excellently drawn, a good mix between the Tim that still looks up to Tony and is still in awe of Gibbs, but is non the less every inch the boss of NCIS, able to be scary and decisive and make the hard decisions, way to go McGeek! I can totally see Tony slipping into a dark cycle of self destruction, fuelled by obsessive revenge, or should that be vendetta? Gibbs of course knows all about it, and can handle him, but not stop him. It makes sense that only when he’s almost lost everything, does Tony see what he has and what’s important.
I loved the scene where Tim finds out about Tony and Gibbs and his total incomprehension although I have to say for an investigator he was being pretty dim at the restaurant! So bravo hun another great read that kept me captivated from start to finish, and there was no sex and no D/s, and I was still hooked – way to go you!
