Oh what a visual! Frankly I'd give a great deal to see any of this or HIPS on film! Though, if I'm being honest I'd prefer HIPS on film, not only lots of full top mode Gibbs, but added full top mode John and Carson as a bonus! Ok, I'll quit drooling now.

Back to the topic at hand. I loved this story! Though I don't think we see all of Tony getting tamed, to continue the feral analogy you were using throughout, we definitely see the strong beginnings. Like all wild things it takes time and consistency to truly tame and not break.

Matched evenly with Tony's journey, is Gibbs journey as he starts to heal and allow his heart to be touched again. It would definitely take a sub that would get in his face but also need and submit fully to him. Exactly what he got when he was ready for it. Again, I'd give a great deal to see what Jess and Tom thought when Gibbs and Tony came home from Atlantis. This is what you get for creating wonderful secondary characters as well, you know. ;)

Thank you for dipping into this AU again. I hope some day when your rested again, it will entice you again. :D If so I look forward to it, if not, it's been a pleasure!
