NCIS fic: These Things Do Happen

[xparrot]

Argh! The usual December writing doldrums are putting such a crimp in my fic-style. I've got a story due for sga_santa, but am I writing that? Of course not! Instead, when I finally did manage to kick myself into writing, this popped out. --Before anyone throws up their hands in either delight or dismay, no, this is not the start of anything. If gnine gets her wish there might be one or two more where this one came from, but nothing major. I'm still going steady with SGA; this is just a fling.

--Though I must do an NCIS post o' squee; I'm all caught up to the current season and enjoying the heck out of it. Such a fun series! Such a cute team! And yeah, I love Tony like burning. (It's totally not my fault - he's basically a clone of the fanon Peter Venkman, the hot, juvenile, womanizing wise-ass with hidden depths. Plus he hurts real good.) No Tony-hurt here, though; no angst at all, just goofiness. Don't blame me, it's December. (Poor Tim. I'm sorry, sweetie!)

Oh. My. Goodness. Thank god there's no one else in the office right now, because I'm practically crying with the effort not to laugh out loud right now (because I laugh very loud). I'm not even a fan of Tony/Tim, but this is hilarious! I'm going to have a ridiculous grin on my face all day and my coworkers are going to think I'm nuts. Thanks :D

This fic is made of all different flavours of awesome. It made my insides gooey, and my heart beat a little faster.

And it just so happens to mean you win at everything. Forever. And ever. Times infinity.

Much l♥ve.

Hi! I just wanted you to know that I only got into the NCIS fandom about a month ago, and THIS IS THE FIC THAT MADE TONY/TIM MY OTP. I just loooovvveee the interactions between the characters, and I couldn't resist reading some passages out loud because they were so... conversational and natural and hysterical XD YOu are an amazing writer, and I look forward to more NCIS fic from you!

Also, may I please friend you? :)

Oh, I just found this and it's utterly funny:)

LOL - Poor McGee. Mortified to be dating Tony! This was a lot of fun. You really captured McGee and Abby's banter and bringing in Ziva's straight man act was a great addition. Thanks for sharing!

I've read this story many times (and am a terrible person because I've never commented), and I can't get over how much I like it. And this is a big deal because I don't even like Tony/Tim, but this story totally works and is adorable and awesome. Great job!

"I should've just gone to a gay bar. If I was going to figure out I was bi, why couldn't I have just gotten wasted and gotten a blow job in a dirty bathroom like a normal guy?"

That line made me laugh so hard it hurt. This is amazingly adorable! Poor confused McGee. I just want to hug him. Very nicely done.

A year late to the party but this might just be the cutest, funniest fic I have ever read! There are about a zillion bits that I love, i.e. every single line, and their voices are great and I especially love how you write Ziva's dialogue - but my favourite thing of all is Tony's framed runner-up Magnum-lookalike photo.

That's just too awesome and hilarious! Love it! :-)

oh. my. god.

this should not have made me smile and laugh and giggle... but it so did!! the whole time i was thinking, "ohmygod, this is so wrong..." BUT IT WAS FANTASTIC!! it was so LOL-worthy that i am still shaking with laughter as i type this!!!

[tailoredshirt.livejournal.com]

CUTE. I was not expecting to love this as much as I did, and I could not stop grinning the entire time. I love the way McGee slowly came to realize they were dating, and I laughed out loud at Tony's phone call at the end. Oh, Tony. ♥

And: "Coming, Tony," Tim said, and disconnected before Tony could get out the, "That's what you said last night," that they all knew was on the tip of his tongue. - LOL

I know I'll be back to read this again and again!

"Yes," Ziva said. "He is getting older, it is remotely possible that he will go completely blind and deaf within the next week or two."

"Ziva," Abby said, in a tone of mild rebuke, "remember what I told you about being encouraging?"

Ziva glanced at her and then frowned. "Ah, yes. I'm sorry, McGee. I meant to say that chances are high that Gibbs will soon be senile enough not to notice two of his field agents are screwing."

I laughed so hard I literally could not breathe.

I just loved the awesome character voices - they were SO spot-on.

That was fantastic :D

EEP! This is just ridiculously adorable! I was grinning the whole time I was reading it. Amazing job.

[im-miss-barbara.livejournal.com]

Cute!

That must have been one helluva shock for Timmy.

a friend linked to this in an ongoing effort to broaden my reading to include more Tony/Tim, and I just fell over laughing (luckily, no one was around at work). you've totally nailed their voices, and I think I'm sold. now I need to poke about and find out what more you've written in this pairing!

OMGYESSSS

AHHH I LOVE THIS SO MUCH. I don't even-- I love it. Thank you for making me squeee and flail! <3

[ezazahaz.livejournal.com]

So cute!! :) I can read it in their voices, and it's so adorable...

[spatula.livejournal.com]

Very lovely and entertaining - thank you!

Great Read

This is honestly one of the best fanfictions I have ever read! You had the characters down flat, and the story was just perfect ;) The phone call at the end was hilarious and a total Tony-like thing to do! I was greatly impressed. Wonderful Job! p.s. I also like how you incorporated how Ziva messes up our language ;)

[harley-syn.livejournal.com]

This was fan-fucking-tastic. I almost pissed myself while reading this. Not only did you capture each characters personality perfectly (especially Abby's) but you made it seem so realistic. I could so see this as a scene in an episode. You totally rocked my socks off. Like seriously, they are on the floor ;D
