This is an unusual one.  The writing style is fractured, but I've done that to (hopefully) give it a sense of tension and confusion.  I'm not sure if it works or if it just comes off as slightly ridiculous.  There's a deliberate use of pronouns, although despite being deliberate I have no idea what I'm trying achieve.

A dormant serial killer returns to the scene, and somehow he's connected to Abby.


On a side note, I've started drinking my tea in what is technically a soup bowl with a handle.  I am the Lorelai Gilmore of Earl Grey.

EDIT:  Sick, sick sick.  Should not have had that much tea.

Here we have a collection of Abby and Abby/Gibbs drabbles, one sentence fics and longer stories.  About 2,000 words in all.  The last is slightly adult but can easily be skipped.  There's some fluff, some funny stuff, some angst.  Ziva's knife throwing lessons return!

Oh!  One of them features Gil Grissom and Greg House!  I wanted to throw some Grissom into a fic, but because I don't really watch the show, couldn't do it extensively.

He heard the gravelly creak of brick grinding against brick and knew, without turning around, that Jamal Malik had opened the secret doorway.  Paula and Tony stood in front of him and he watched them turn, watched them come to the realization that by the time they reached Jamal, it would be too late.  None of that mattered in the end.  She was there for the ceremony, all in black, her hair in low pigtails.  She was the closest, and she’d always been brave.

Also, I can't remember who this is going to make happy, but I know it's somebody.  I now LOVE Top Gear.

Well, this is the final chapter of A Second Chance.  I might do some side-stories, but I'm not sure.  Perhaps a series of drabbles from each character's perspective.

He’d seen her body prepare for death; seen her blood spill out from her and onto the pavement, into his jacket and over his hands.  He’d heard her breathing hitch and gasp and slow down and he’d stared into her eyes, eyes that had lost their focus, as the mind controlling them slipped into darkness.  Quite frankly, the warmth of her skin was something he wanted pressed against him at all times.

A big, big thankyou to all the people who reviewed this.  My appreciation knows no bounds.

Well, the shipping begins!

I felt I was neglecting Ducky and leaving the issue of Lt. Colonel Mann unresolved, so both are in this chapter.

Erm, that's not important though, because the shipping begins.  This chapter is a bit more light-hearted than the previous ones.

“If you tell anyone that I did this, I’m going to take Bert to a dark deserted place.”

 

She smiled, knowing that he knew better than to mess with the hippo.  “Relax, I won’t tell anyone you’re going to strip for me.”

 

He raised his eyebrows.  “If you even mention that word, I’m going to take you to a dark, deserted place.”

 

“And do what with me?”  She bit her tongue through a smile.

Well, it took me a little while, but I've finally managed to finish part four. Work is going to gobble me up.  Little question - do people think I should develop this story  into a relationship piece, or keep it as a friendship piece?  Also, I want to say a big thankyou to all the people who've read and/or reviewed this story.  You guys are amazing and oh so friendly.

 - As things settle down, Gibbs helps Abby come to terms with her injuries.  DiNozzo has some surprising and disturbing news about the shooter. 

Even if you don't read it, there is an unbelievably LOVELY  picture of Gibbs/Mark under the cut, because I felt it was my civic duty to spread the wealth.  Makes me all girly.

“Well, I looked.”  She nodded down at her chest.  “I kind of resemble a patchwork quilt.”

( A Second Chance. Part Four. )

Yay!  Very very excited about this!

Abby's prognosis is revealed.  Tony and Abby share a sweet little moment.  Gibbs?  Well, he's up to something strange.

Just as the target got into his car, Gibbs looked away from the scope and up into Abby’s face.

( A Second Chance. Part Three. )

Yay!  Squee!  Rejoice and be merry! My internet is fixed!   *tries to catch dignity as it runs out the door*

Anyway, here is part two of A Second Chance!

Gibbs befriends an old lady in the rain, and Abby's mom and dad arrive at the hospital.

He’d been sure that if he kept Abby close, took care of her as he’d planned to right from the start, then she’d always be safe.

Abby gets shot.

Hehehe, that should get your attention.  Written before I'd heard of or seen Cover Story.

He took off his NCIS windbreaker, rolled it up and pressed it to her.  She cried out and he felt something vile rise in the back of his throat.

I found a picture a while back and the subject matter just SCREAMED Abby, so I decided to write a fic about it.

It's a piece about Abby's birthday.  It was written quickly, and it's mostly dialogue, but I hope it works.

Team!fic, Abby/Tony friendship, Abby/Gibbs.



Here's the picture.  Don't look at it until you've read the fic though, or it'll ruin the surprise!
