Let's Rip Through That Vortex!

19 June 2007 @ 08:28 pm

Well, this story is really important to me. It's something I've toyed with for a while, and whilst I'm still afraid, I found it somewhat cathartic. Obviously, it's inspired by my mummy.

Basically, Gibbs has to deal with the possibility of Abby being sick. There's mild nudity, but it's not sexual. I guess you'd call it mature, but not adult. Intimate, I'd venture.

So, when he walks into the bathroom after having put Lila to sleep, to find Abby sitting on the edge of the bath, her fingers nimbly exploring her left breast and her gaze contemplative, he’s not prepared for the way his breath leaves him, the way his knees feel weak and the way his heart splutters in his chest, as if it can’t decide to work overtime or not at all.

I leave for Singapore in 36 hours!

Eeeeeeeek!

There had better be lots of fic waiting for me when I get home! *glares* :)

Anyway, before I go, I'm posting these two fics. They're Lila ones; the first is about Kelly and Shannon, the second is about Lila's friendship with Tony!

( Stick Figures and Friends. )

I was thinking about my favourite Abby/Gibbs scenes yesterday, and I'm curious to know what scene you guys like the most.

The one that really gets me is in Frame Up, the episode where Tony gets framed for murder. I love when Gibbs comes into the lab, because he knows that Abby'll be upset. He sets out to make sure she's ok. I love how he's touching her thoughout the entire scene, rubbing her neck and massaging her back. Watch his hands right after he asks her if she's alright - there's a high angle that looks down on Abby and you can see her back. He's looking at her really intently, as if convincing her she's not to blame is really important to him. Plus, he kisses her, so of course it's great!

So! If you'd be so kind, tell me your favourite scene!

A little break from A Second Chance, although I am halfway through the next chapter.

This is a sweet little fic that was inspired by a lovely couple who come through my work. They have a three month old, who keeps them up at night, so they chat to me and my friend Kate, who works the graveyard shift with me.

- In an effort to get a three week old Lila to stop crying and go to sleep, Gibbs takes her for a drive in the middle of the night.

There are songs in this, but it's NOT a songfic. I treat songfics like smelly socks.

Also, I would like to dedicate this to

indigoblue4ever who is just an absolutely charming reviewer. Your comments are always appreciated greatly.

Argh. It's eleven in the morning and I'm still in my jimjams. Still, it is the day after Easter, I suppose. Happy Easter! Happy Holidays!

Anyway, something different here; a collection of sentences, each based on a different word prompt. Abby/Gibbs.

I ummed and ahhed about the end of this story for a while, but found that I'd done all I could.

Abby and Gibbs fight over what should be done with Kelly the boat.

I went to the International Air Show out in Avalon, and I have found my calling; to travel the world and see airshows. My aim at the moment is to see the Royal International Air Tattoo in England, RAF Fairford. I have pictures if anybody is interested in planes. There were F-16s, F/A-18s, F-111s, C-17s, Caribous, Hercules. The only thing is that I got BURNT yesterday and now my face resembles in both colour and texture a crustacean.

Salut!

It was brightillusions birthday yesterday/today/tomorrow/stamps feet in annoyance at time zones, so what we have here is BIRTHDAY FIC!

*throws tinsel in the air*

I may only know you on the internet, but you have seriously made the past year much more enjoyable. You're always ready to offer kind words about fic, comfort about personal things and crazy-ass NCIS reviews that I look forward to each week as much as the episodes themselves. HAPPY BIRTHDAY my dear!!!

She charged me with the task of writing a fifth variation of Lila's first word, and that word had to be Mickey. So, here we have it!

Please be warned. This is so saccharine it'll cause tooth decay. I know many of you probably don't have any teeth left, what with my propensity to write fluff, but...well, here you go. I have some angst on the way.

( Mickey )

Also, question! When people comment, I usually like to reply. It seems rude not to, especially since you're all so nice. It occurred to me this morning that I'm potentially spamming people inboxes. If you'd like me to stop replying to your comment, please feel free to tell me! I won't mind! :) :) :) :)

NCIS fic!

I've been neglecting my little Abby/Gibbs muse! Never fear (as I'm sure you all did, *poke poke*), we have Lila fic here.

I said, a long time ago, that I was going to do four variations of Lila's first word. We FINALLY have the fourth.

With love, for

brightillusions and BJ the cat.

( Remember. )

wiccagirl24 I finally have a day off tomorrow, except for a meeting in the evening and repairmen coming around in the morning, so I'll be betaing tomorrow. Hope that's ok, love!!!

First of all, let me just say that I hope everybody is enjoying their holidays, or looking forward to impending time off, and that everybody is all set for Christmas. Everyone else, I hope you're healthy and happy! Snuggle your family and friends up tight!

Secondly, yes, the much feared NC-17 fic was posted, however it was friends-locked. I would be happy to friend people and then defriend them at their request once they've read it, but I'm shy and nervous about it, so I like to know who is reading it. No other fics have been friends locked. I've made a few new friends, so I'd like to say a big hello! Here we have it...HELLO! :)

kalliekat I'm almost done betaing your fic, and upon your revision, would be most happy to post it here. Let me just say for now that I love it.

tonnie20021969 I'd be happy to look at your fic and help with any ideas. Give me a shout whenever you're ready, but take your time and wait until you're ready.

wiccagirl24 I just remembered this: yes, to 'rug up' is a phrase, suggesting one put on a lot of clothes or use a blanket to keep warm. Also, keep up with the good fic and I hope to see it posted soon. I'd love to beta some others if you ever feel like throwing things my way, because I'm a beta wench. Struck by sudden thought; did "Taken" ever get finished?

Now, this here is most likely (depending on the muse) a one-off. As in, I probably won't be exploring the ending further. It IS fluffy, but with plot. Supposed to be funny, but I can never tell.

Sometimes I write such ridiculous fics I just feel I should give up altogether.

I'm starting to doubt how I feel about my fics. I'm worried that if they weren't written by me, and each word was new to me as I read it, then would I think it was too OC? I don't know...maybe I'm just having a fic crisis. Any suggestions you guys have on keeping things in character would be greatly appreciated. Notes on where you think I've strayed. I mean, obviously this is AU, but I want it to be IC AU. Yeah, now I'm just showing off the acronyms.

Anyway. Oh! New Rose/Ten header, made by the lovely

Um, well this fic here. A few weeks ago, I wrote two small stories about Lila's first words. I said they were two of four and this is the third version. Rather short and descriptive.

Lightly beta'd by me. All praise and comments should be directed to Kallie, as I'm forwarding her the comment e-mails. It's her first fic to be made public. Show some love.

More Lila, because I just can't seem to help myself. I should be put in the stockades for this, but I can't seem to stop.

This was written a while ago, but I didn't post it for some reason.

Based on dragonessasmith's prompt: "I want to know what Lila's first word/s are."

It's the first two of four versions. It also has mentions of Doctor Who.

This was written in the midst of a sleepy sleepy haze that somehow managed to stop the sufferer from actually sleeping. Know what I mean?

It's a Lila fic, slightly based on this prompt, by

lexie_b

"Abby bringing Lila to work for some reason, and having the whole team finding excuses to come and visit? Very fluffy and cutesy, I know."

Well, it's fluffy and cutesy. "Fluuuuuff, fluuuuuff, fluff, fluff, fluff, fluuuuuff, fluuuuuff, fluff, fluff, fluff, fluuuuuff, fluuuuuff, fluff, fluff, fluff, fluuuuuff." - Me, singing "Fluff" to the tune of Star Wars.

In other news, I thought I'd lost my fanfic notebook this morning. It's a tiny notepad, about the size of my hand that I write all my stories in before I transfer them to word. Panic ensued until it was found.

This story is a bit out of character. It's written as an Abby/Gibbs fic with Lila, but that's really just the surface. I've spent most of today's hours that weren't at work crying about my mum, so this is a product of that. It's a reflection on death, loss, cemetaries and love. About half way through I demanded that I put my feet back on the ground and tried to make it a fic, hence it's being posted here.

It's not terribly out of character (I hope!), it's just that I don't address the eccentric goth side of Abby, rather I reflect on her as a mother.

If anybody here has lost someone, or is in the process of losing someone, then maybe this isn't for you. I'd love for people to read it, and I like to think that it has a comforting end, when so many don't.

For my mum, the mother cat.

EDIT: Due to a little ambiguity on my part and the resulting confusion, I just wanted to say that my mum is very much alive! She's terribly sick, but still with us and there are lots of yummy drugs in the world these days. So, *tacklehugs you all*

Ok, I've never had as much difficulty with a story as with this one. It's short, because I wanted it to be restrained, but I hope I get the idea across without falling into the realm of melodrama.

A small Lila story. Tell me if you want Lila to go away for a while.

A series of Lila vignettes. They don't really fit in to any timeline, so consider them stand-alone pieces, if you'll allow. I think the tense is a bit funny in the last one, so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

This last one here is a little more adult. Not adult adult, it just has a slightly darker subject matter. I mean, I'd show my nana and not blush, but I'm still getting to know some of you folks so I thought it better to be safe than sorry.

I have here a story that follows directly on from Sixteen Hours with the resolution of a certain someone's medical problems. It's only a short one, but I'm also putting the finishing touches on a longer piece which should hit the papers today.

Also, can I just point out that I'm listening to Lo-Ball, with our favourite actress with 'PP' for initials singing!
