Thank you so much for revisiting this verse. I loved all of it. Perfect Tony and Gibbs and Abby. Very self-aware and yet still oblivious sometimes.

If you ever visit this verse for original stories, please follow Stacy around. There was just something about her that really struck a chord. I really want her to find her Tony.

ETA: I do have one question: Why did you give Gibbs fathers instead of a father and mother? It doesn't really matter of course, it just seemed a little strange with canon, but that would lead to the estrangement as well, so it does make sense. Just curious.
