Memories Are Made Of This -- Gibbs/DiNozzo

A glimpse of Tony and Gibbs in the future. 1st Person POV


Mr Ed by smallwaldo -- Gibbs/DiNozzo

“Yeah, see… thing is, if I sit, I’m not so sure I’ll be able to get up again,” Tony confessed. (Episode Tag for “South by Southwest”)

I'm crawling through these two fandoms at snails' pace. My general fandom glee seems to have wilted of late. I can't seem to muster up my YAAAAYYYY!!! factor. Still enjoying the feel of shiny new fandoms, though. There's something about picking through fic which is entirely new and finding that one genuine diamond amongst the piles of cubic zirconium.

Anyway, here's some recs.

Criminal Minds

What Goes Around by Rushlight, Amy, Diagonalist, and Gin. Reid/Gideon.

Gideon introduces Reid to the wonders of socialization, among other things.

Beautifully written. Thank you, snowpuppies for rec'ing this to me in the first place.


My Lonely Heart by Rushlight. Reid/OMC, Reid/Gideon.

Reid's new boyfriend turns out to be anything but the man of his dreams.

Please read the fic warnings on this one.


A Rock and a Hard Place by Rushlight. Reid/Hotch.

Reid and Hotch are kidnapped during the course of an investigation.

Reid gets kidnapped a lot in this fandom, doesn't he? Poor woobie. No warning on this one, but I think there should be. I don't want to give anything away, but watch out for the non-con sorta. You can beat me around the head later for that, but I'd rather not be responsible for anyone reading something that might upset. Great fic.


Misdirection by Miriam Heddy. Reid/Gideon.

Read and Gideon talk

I love Reid in this. I could hear his voice co clearly.


NCIS

Rictus by Sequitor.

This is the story of how Gibbs met Tony. It's long and plotty with spot-on characterisation. It's a hard fic to read because of the subject matter being dealt with, which is the investigation of the rape and murder of several children in Baltimore. Very unpleasant and the fic itself has a very gritty feel to it. Brilliant, and I completely believe this is how Gibbs and Tony met. It's technically gen, but if you squint (which I do permanently now anyway) it can be easily read as pre-slash.

Damage by xanthestories -- Gibbs/DiNzzo

When Gibbs investigates a minor robbery, he uncovers something much more sinister. The resulting investigation has unexpected and far-reaching consequences.

This is a long and plotty H/C fic. It's brilliantly written, in-character, realistic and the hurt and comfort aspects are perfectly balanced. You will need a strong stomach because the subject matter is serious stuff. Read the warnings inside the link and be aware that this isn't a fic that's going to gloss over the unpleasant bits. What it does do is present a heart-squashing story of an adult forced to finally face something that he's kept locked away in his head since he was a child. It's hard-going, but running along side the horror is a beautiful and realistic love story.

Fellow Spander fans, if you enjoyed Alexandria's Waiting Here, you'll love this. And be prepared to feel the need to rush off and hug something or someone on a regular basis, which reminds me, has anyone seen my dog? Large? Black and hairy? Last seen with an expression of 'Oh god, no, not again,' on his face?

I told myself I was going to watch all the seasons before I started reading the fanfic, but as it turns out, I'm far too impatient for that. Who knew?!?!

Puppy Love by xanthestories -- Gibbs/DiNozzo

Tony's true inner self is revealed – as is his heart's desire…

Why should you read this? Because Tony gets turned into a puppy and it's damn cute.


Wants and Needs by Katherine -- Gibbs/DiNozzo

After a personal tragedy, Tony realises he wants more

Very slow and sweet and romantic. It's what I like to call a Sunday morning fic. Erm, I realise it's now Monday ...


Anyone got any recs for me? I'll take almost anything as long as it's Gibbs/DiNozzo with a happy ending. Please NO fics where either Gibbs or Tony die.

Also, which are the best comms to join?
