I find it hard sometimes when people say such kind things, how to react, how to respond other than to say thank you so much, which I do, thank you that is, very much, because when I wrote this, it just came, out of the ether, it was just there at the ends of my fingers when I typed so it always feels kind of wrong to accept the kind words because it almost feels like it was just there waiting and it wrote itself hardly any involvement from me at all. But maybe that's just me and my wierdness.
And it's been a while since I wrote this, but I do especailly recall how really getting into NCIS and watching it then going back over old ground that I'd not seen before, watching the first fully-fledged NCIS episode and thinking how did that guy, the guy that Gibbs was in season one episode one, turn into the guy now. It seemed to be almost impossible to fathom the change. And that was also around the time the episode where Gibbs drowned then came back was aired, and I must have just watched the episode in my box set with Tony and the plague and it was so obvious. Caitlin couldn't keep Tony alive even though she stayed with him and fought to keep him going but Gibbs arrived just in time and simply brought him back... and with Gibbs after he had been pulled out of the water it really would have made sense for him to just let go but Tony brought him back and that appealed to me the symetary if it. And the truth of it too. I know I read a few comments on other stories in the fandom about how Gibbs and DiNozzo is such an unbalanced combination, how Tony is too desperate and needy how Gibbs would have all the power and it would almost be a kind of abuse of power thing for them to be together. But I've always felt there is a element to the Gibbs' character that is perversely submissive, and in my mind that makes the realtionship possible and it makes it less about strength and weakness. And Tony for all he fools about and plays up to Gibbs, and on one level really does hero worship him, again there is so much more to Tony than simply that.
Once again thank you so much for taking the time to say what you thought I am really grateful for any comments, and when they are this kind it really does make my day
