Oh yes - that's totally it re your first paragraph. Gibbs and Tony in the early years particularly, and the way MW and MH play them with the D/s overtones - they just LEND themselves so easily to this universe :-)

Heh - love the idea of Snr knowing he's dealing with an uber-top - someone who can totally out top him if need be (and he's a pretty strong top himself). Having seen the way Jnr and Snr act together in F&B I'm even more intrigued by the idea of Snr raising this very subby son and finding him a handful *g*.

I much prefer your take on the stupid valentine's day chocolates thing to the trash we get onscreen these days.

Thanks for your feedback :-)
