Yikes!!! Trust Shepard to dig her oar in. Looking forward to the next part

Adorable bedtime reading. More please

Yay! the boys have finally listened to reason

Yay! for having Miri to intercede between the boys. Looking forward to next update

Loved the clearing of air between Tony and McGee, also that a lot of home truths came out at the same time. Looking forward to the next chapter

At last I can comment on your fic. Had to change username because on changing PC I lost my password. Anyhow, getting back to this chapter, it seems the boys are almost on the same page for once - yay! Looking forward to the next chapter.

Wow!!! I wasn't expecting that but I loved it...another great chapter to a EXCELLENT story...you have left me wanting more...

I'M LOVING THIS STORY MORE AND MORE. You have again left me wanting more...you have me completely intrigued. Can't wait for the next installment...thanks for sharing.

I like your style...letting Tony search his memories and share. And what a way for Gibbs to wake up that was HOT!

EXCELLENT!!! I truly love this story...each chapter has left me wanting more...I love how you have reasoned out the details...looking forward to the next installment...Thanks for sharing.

ksl…that was EXCELLENT…I finally got an opportunity to get caught up with the last few chapters. I’m loving where this is going…I love how you displayed the frankness of Miri, Gibbs waking up and McGee ‘finally’ seeing the error of his ways…you really did a ‘great job’ with the display of McGee’s emotions he said everything Tony needed to hear…Tony was understandably surprised by the sincere admissions…and it all opened up perfectly when McGee honestly admitted “what’s really up with Ziva” and by explaining her outward hostilely toward Bahl who’s only mistake was taking Tony’s vacant desk…she is seriously missing Tony…I can hardly wait for more…thanks for sharing.

Another great chapter...I love Mini's protectiveness of Tony and his integrity. The way she read both Ziva and McGee was very well done. I also loved Tony's reaction when he walked in on the coversation about him...I'm realizing Gibbs is still suffering from the after-effects of the explosion and needs to fill-in some blanks and work through his doubts...he needs to know what Tony really went through while he was in Mexico. Looking forward to next chapters...Thanks for sharing.

I have been here from the start and this story just keeps getting more iteresting. I truly want to know what's next...Thanking for sharing a 'GREAT' story.

As far as character bashing goes, no of course this fic isn't 'bad' but it does portray every single character other than Tony & his new team as assholes. Now, that's the author's right of course it is but I'm just commenting on the fact that damn near every story the author has written lately has been like this - I believe I'm allowed to have a view? You said "Every one has different views. If we didn't, how boring would that be?" Excuse me? You're having a go at me for the exact same thing, for having a different opinion. Apparently it's ok for you to have a different opinion to me, but not for me to have a different opinion to you? Trust me, I've read *a lot* of fic. No, this isn't anywhere near to being extreme but, Lidi dear, I'm expressing my opinion that it is bad mouthing most everyone. As, in my opinion, has become common for this author. It's absolutely her prerogative to write what she wants to, but as a long time reader I'm giving my opinion. I actually think she is a good author and have enjoyed a lot of her older stuff but I’m simply expressing my disappointment in the recent turn her writing has taken. "And you gave yourself away with your extreme dislike of Miri's character." I'm sorry but you've totally lost me with this. Given myself away with what? Best wishes, Lucy In closing, Comments *is* a public forum. Let's keep it that way.

I am responding to the 'bashing' comment made by lucyinthesky. *Not* true. This story is being told from a different angle. Every one has different views. If we didn't, how boring would that be? Lucy dear, you haven't been reading much fanfic if you believe *this* story is bad-mouthing everybody. And you gave yourself away with your extreme dislike of Miri's character. ksl, this story is believable. In the end, *that* is what matters. Good work. Keep on keeping on. :) Lidi

don't take this the wrong way but i kinda feel all your recent fic should come with a character bashing warning. you really don't like anyone but Tony do you? i don't think they're perfect either by any stretch (and neither's Tony for that matter) but i'm not sure turning Tony into some sorta tragic saintly hero with a complex does him any favours. can't stand his new little-miss-perfect teammate. don't think i'll be reading any more, shame as i liked your older stuff

Enjoying this a lot. Interesting to see the team from the outside. I'm curious to see how you get from here to the eventual pairing. More soon! Re Lidi: I'm sorry but while I can understand your annoyance with the other poster I really don't think posting a message like that is appropriate. Perhaps the message was sent off list because it reads, to me, like it's answering your original comment? I get that you don't like it but I really don't think posting someone's email addy like that is right. Yeah I know you can mail someone through the site, but showing their address like that is wrong, IMHO. Post the message if you must but not someone's email address (apologies to KSL for continuing this craziness but the posting of someone's email address has really left a sour taste)

I was checking everyday to see if there was an update! It made my day better to see there wqs a new chapter! I love it and especially Tony's reaction to a nice GIbbs!

I love this story and I decided to read the others you wrote.I'm your new big fan! I can't wait to read more and am looking forward to the next chapters!

I really love the way you explore the relationship between Gibbs and Tony through Gibbs' point of view. It always makes my day a little better when I see a new chapter from you show up in the RSS feed!

I was very happy to see this post. I love your stories and have no doubt this one will be a favourite! Keep the chapters coming :-)

I am truly enjoying your story. I am more than a little interested as to how you will reintegrate Gibbs into the story as a lover if that is your intention. I admit that I hope you will have them make up in the end, but I am, so far, enjoying the way you are taunting us with the prospect that Tony may never choose to go home again although I really hope he does. Once more, great work, and please know that people are reading it and enjoying it.

SUPER....wonder how the others took gibbs deciding to retire?....LOVE that he went with tony to spain.....well done as always. alisa

another good one....still not sure of ziva and what she said to tony in this one....looking forward to more. alisa
