that was VERY good.....i enjoyed it VERY MUCH. THANK YOU, alisa

This story was so sweet and beautiful, in my opinion the absolutely best part of your Stillwater AU. Jackson accepting Tony with open arms into his daily routine and Tony mustering up the courage to ask him to be his surrogate grandpa not only brought a lump to Tony's throat ;-) Loved it. Also liked the new insights into Gibbs' past, although saying him to not have been in the Marines is very confusing as that is what made Gibbs Gibbs...semper fi.... Hope you will regale us with more stories with the Jackson/Leroy/Tony pairing - and the wonderfully odd and funny inhabitants of Stillwater, Pa.

uhm, well maybe this should have been listed under Alternate Universe and I would have gotten it better. Mainly because the Leroy Jethro Gibbs that I know, IS a Marine. I am glad that Anthony,,, uhm, I thought he liked to be called Tony by all but Ducky, but that would fit the AU. Anyway, I am glad he had a Grandpa now.
