Coming Soon!

[xanthefic]

I've been working on a new long and very angsty story. It currently stands at around 86,000 words but there's quite a bit more still to write so I have no idea how soon "soon" will be *g*. Details below!




Title: Damage
Author: Xanthe
Fandom: NCIS
Pairing: Gibbs/DiNozzo
Genre: Slash
Categories: Extreme Angst, Drama, Case, Action, Hurt/Comfort, First Time, Romance
Rating: NC17/FRAO
Spoilers: Minor but up to and including Season 6
Warning: Themes and scenes of child sexual abuse.

Brief Summary: When Gibbs investigates a minor robbery, he uncovers something much more sinister.

Damage: n.1. Injury or harm impairing the function or condition of a person or thing.

Extract from Part One: “Give me your badge and gun,” Gibbs said quietly. Tony stared at him. “Now, DiNozzo!” Gibbs barked. “I don’t know what the hell is going on with you, but I can’t trust you right now so I’m suspending you from duty.”

Tony!!!!!!!!! *hugs*

so... when you say soon... you mean next week, yes???

[xanthestories.livejournal.com]

He really needs the hugs in this fic *g*. And no I don't mean next week! I wish I did!

[luthien82]

WOAH! Okay, after that excerpt, I can't wait to read this!

[xanthestories.livejournal.com]

Yay! Glad to hear I chose the right excerpt then *g*.

[ruefull.livejournal.com]

Is "WANT, WANT, WANT!!!!" appropriate feedback? *g* Because that was my overwhelming response to the excerpt. And to the whole idea, poor Tony and I just know you're gonna let Gibbs fix him, at least, I'm really, really, really hoping the comfort part of hurt/comfort is Gibbs centric and Tony directed. *g*
Sorry for the somewhat bratty tantruming re: your fic and wanting, just couldn't help myself. *g* Very much look forward to this!
As for being depressed, life isn't a smooth plane, it's a series of hills and valleys and twists and turns, so it's only natural that we have times when we just feel down or unsettled or both or worse. *g* As long as you remember that it'll pass, that the road will straighten eventually, I find it makes those times a little easier. **hugs**

[xanthestories.livejournal.com]

I love your comments *g*. It's the sort of thing I'd say/want! And yes, definitely poor Tony, and hell yes, there is MAJOR Gibbsian comforting *g*.

And thank you. I do have to keep reminding myself that it will pass, but sometimes, in the thick of it, it's very hard to believe that.

So this is the story Nikita is reading for you and teasing me with by saying it is the most incredible writing she ever read...I am anxiously awaiting its completion and posting.

[xanthestories.livejournal.com]

Nikita has been great with the cheerleading - she's really kept me going! I hope you enjoy the story when it's finally done and posted :-)

[kaylashay81]

Squee...

This looks like it will be an angst filled ride. Just the title and that extract... *wibbles*

[xanthestories.livejournal.com]

Yay! I do hope you like it. I *think* it's got some good bits in it - there is certainly the most major of major angst *g*. I think the title and extract give a fair flavour of things *g*.

[burningchaos.livejournal.com]

OMG - I love extreme angst, especially when it involves Tony. I'll wait patiently, I promise.

[xanthestories.livejournal.com]

Yay :-). It is *really* extreme angst - I can promise you that. About as extreme as it gets!

[nikitariddick.livejournal.com]

It's the best fic I've ever read. Period. Bar none.... And I read a lot....
Brilliant beyond mere words! I have re-read the old sections!!! And I amazed at the sheer power and talent revealed in each line!

It's great!!! I love it!!!

You will need a box of tissues and a cuddly teddy bear to read this fic!!!

Big smooches!!!!

[ceares.livejournal.com]

[xanthestories.livejournal.com]

[ceares.livejournal.com]

I love your icon by the way. Tony totally looks like some Mad Menish character in his office.

[xanthestories.livejournal.com]

Ooh yes - I hadn't thought of that before but it does kind of!

[kryspen.livejournal.com]

Awesome! Just what I need right now and I'm totally looking forward to the experience. You're one of my favorite writers and I'll be checking daily for this one! :)

[xanthestories.livejournal.com]

Yay! I'm glad to hear it :-). It's getting there...

I so want to read this and ...S6 Ep16

[yaoi-no-kokoro.livejournal.com]

Hi Xanthe,

I´m so looking forward to a new NCIS fic from you. You got me hooked on the series and Tony/Gibbs because I began to watch it to understand "Hiding in plain sight". Wanted to know who those guys were and already like Michael Weatherly from "Dark Angel" so that made it easier. My first fanfic written by you was, of course, General and Dr. Sheppard ;D SOooo loved it, still do, reread it three times up until now (like a very good book^^)

Have you seen ep 16 "Bounce" yet. So many good Tony/Gibbs moments, I loved it. They needed a good new Tony episode, definitely. Loved that scene with Palmer... not telling more, don´t wanna spoil. Won´t appear in the fic, cause it came out to late, right?

When will the "Damage"-Fanfic come out? Can´t wait to read it.

Greets,
Tanja

Re: I so want to read this and ...S6 Ep16

[xanthestories.livejournal.com]

Thanks Tanja! I'm glad you like my stories!

I don't know when Damage will be ready but hopefully within the next few weeks :-).

And I did watch Bounce - some lovely Gibbs/DiNozzo moments. Poor Tony!

[lemiserabelle.livejournal.com]

I recently got into NCIS and I love your stuff. I go through it like chocolate when I'm procrastinating. Could you post a few chapters even though you're still writing? Pretty please?

[xanthestories.livejournal.com]

I'm so glad you enjoy my stories! As for posting chapters before finishing - I've done that before and it tends to get a bit out of hand so I've made it a rule not to do it again. Not to worry though - it's moving along at a fine old pace so hopefully won't be far off!

[thaddeusfavour.livejournal.com]

Tracked you originally through your website from a rec on some site out there I just happened to wander on to. Ever so glad I did! I loved your Torchwood fic, Captain Jack's Seduction, and I'm loving your NCIS fic as well. Just found another one due to a fic finding site, and decided I was kind of D.U.M.B. dumb for not friending you so I can keep track of your fic.

Anyway, thanks for the Gibbs/DiNozzo fic! I do love me some Tony and Jethro. :P

[xanthestories.livejournal.com]

Well I'm glad you've found me and friended me *ggg*.

[lerah99.livejournal.com]

I just wanted to drop a note to let you know how much I am looking forward to this story. Everyday I check my lj hoping you have started posting!

::::Makes cup of tea and continues to wait with great anticipation::::

[xanthestories.livejournal.com]

You're so sweet! I love that you're looking forward to it. I've gone through such emotions writing it that I'm longing to share it now.

I think it's about a week away - maybe longer but that will depend on how the editing goes :-).

[linarion.livejournal.com]

You are a tease!!

BTW, loved HIPS - really good depth to the story. Also really loved Ten years on - thoroughly enjoyed Tony on the edge of reason

[xanthestories.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

I am a bit of a tease, yes, (she said coyly!)
