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.

Prepare yourselves for a shock.

We have angst!  It's not deeply angsty, but it can, in no way, shape or form, be considered fluffy!  It's a bit different from my usual stuff, (obviously) so tell me what you think!

*does tribal dance around laptop...don't quite know why*

A post-Hiatus fic, that deals with Abby, Tony and Gibbs.

Some things, it seemed, were just not his anymore.

How cool are these lyrics?  It's from Chumbawamba's "Don't Try This At Home."  

gunpowder and modem
and a dream of liberty
and then they'll tell you;
don't try this at home

The first line is so cool!

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!
