The fabulous [livejournal.com profile] bluespirit_star has sent me a gorgeous title graphic for the story, so I thought it was time to post it and give a final update. My apologies for being so quiet everywhere - it's because I've been working so hard on the edit, but I'm nearly there. I always wibble before posting my long stories, and this one is very intense, so I'm wibbling more than usual. But I'm going to try and just have some fun with it, and I hope you guys will come along for the ride :-). This one is a real rollercoaster, and I hope you all enjoy it as much as I enjoyed writing it! Here's one final extract before posting. Hope to see you on Monday!

Coming Soon - 6th June!

Posting: As it is so long, I will post this story in six chapters, starting on Monday June 6th and finishing on Saturday June 11th.


Summary: While investigating the disappearance of a Marine, Gibbs is abducted, sold, and forced to fight in a brutal contest where the price of winning is almost as high as the cost of losing, and death waits constantly in the wings. After five months of hitting brick walls, Tony finally hatches a desperate plan to rescue Gibbs, only to find him a very changed man. In order to escape, Tony has to remind Gibbs who he is and awaken a sleeping wolf inside him. But, haunted by his ordeal and the acts he’s been forced to commit, can there ever really be a way back for Gibbs?

Author's Note: This story is dark and violent in places. However, I should stress it does not feature partner betrayal, and the brutality is inflicted upon Gibbs and Tony and others around them and not something they do to each other.

Across the truck Mac winks at him, and Tony is suddenly even more acutely aware of being completely naked, vulnerable, and on display. He wonders if that’s something you get used to, in time. Has Gibbs got used to it? He can’t imagine Gibbs tolerating this kind of treatment for one second…but if they beat him enough, then even Gibbs would have had to learn to endure it. Tony has seen the whips in the guards’ belts, and he’s sure they’re not just for show.

He doesn’t like to think of Gibbs taking beatings, but he knows there’s no way Gibbs just rolled over and showed them his belly. That’s never been Gibbs’s style.

What damage would stubborn resistance have done to him though? If they’ve beaten him into submission, can he still be the man Tony once knew?

Will he even recognize Gibbs when he sees him? After five months in this brutal environment, will Tony find him broken beyond repair?

I'm really looking forward to this, but as I am in France for the week and don't expect to have internet access after tonight it looks like I am going to be forced to wait and then get to read it in one big chunk!

A little self doubt keeps you from hitting your head on the doorframe, but don't have too much of it!!!

LOL! NO! There is absolutely no amount of anything that can make me post earlier because I'm still finishing my hard copy edit! I'll be hard pushed to get it all done in time as it is! LOL! But hopefully it'll all be ready to go on Monday :-) So glad you're looking forward to it!
