Okay I've been reading Tony/Gibbs fic for two years now and I wanna know how in the HELL I've never seen this story before??? My god, this is brilliant. It's sharp and distinct and determined and so very very in character that I can't imagine that Tony and Jethro aren't together in canon too! NCIS needs a rec community, and this needs to be there. Because it really is just that good. I should have been in bed hours ago but there was no way I could sign off until I'd finished it. You almost had me believing they wouldn't get together. But they did! What I'd love even more than a love scene, would be to see them a year or 18 months in. To see how they are managing. If the team knows. How comfortable Jethro is with anyone knowing.

Okay, I'll stop the ramble now.... but this is definitely going in my bookmarks as a keeper fic!
