Yikes!! Hurt Tony!!! Cliffy!!! How am I supposed to go to bed now and sleep?!?! (it's 1.25 a.m. this side of the pond).

Hope RL allows you to get the next chapter up soon

I guess that means that we're on the same side of the pond - i usually post late on! I do hope you got some sleep though...not so sure about Tony.

And fingers crossed, the posting schedule should pick up a little now!

So sorry to hear that RL has been so bad lately. *gentle hugs* I hope it settles down soon!

LOVE this chapter. :-) Poor Gibbs. We know why Tony's acting odd, but Gibbs certainly doesn't. I can't wait to see the scene in autopsy!

Take care and be well!

[iantalia]

*hugs back* Thank you. She's getting better now - I'm just too busy doing everything!

And glad you liked this chapter - I struggled a bit with it, so that's good to hear!

Sorry to hear real life has not been treating you kindly. I'm sending positive thoughts your way and hoping for the best for you and your family.

As to this update, thank you so much for taking the time to share it with us. I'm sorry Tony was injured, but that may be the perfect opening for Gibbs to offer comfort (and a ride home) to Tony, which may well give them the opportunity to realize that they are both pining for the same thing ~ one another! Ok, that would be a bit too easy, since we have agreed they are both stupidheads, but one lives in hope that they will turn their impressive investigative skills on their situation and realize how much time they have wasted. (sigh)

Really enjoying the story, and thanks again for the update.

Thank you! The crisis-y bits are done with now - its just hard slog and fallout. I'm hoping to get some decent angsty fic out of all this!

And on this one - glad you liked it. Lets hope your common sense prevails, and the pair of them get on with things!

Yay! A new chapter!! Thank you so much for writing again!
I've been meaning to tell you before, I absolutely adore your story. It's written so very well and I love the snarky humor and the irony. It's a true gem in the fandom, not many are capable to pull this kind of writing - so all the more kudos to you.
On another note, I hope RL treats you better soon, I'm sending you lots and lots of Anti-Stress and Feel-Better-Vibes, just in case.
Remember, there are people out there who appreciate and cherish your work and your creativity very much, me being one. And we wish you all the best. Hope, that helps a little!

[iantalia]

Thank you very much *makes grabby hands at the anti-stress vibes*. I'm very flattered - it's very good to hear that people enjoy what I'm putting out there - so yes, it helps. Thank you again!

So good to see another chapter of this I'm really enjoying this fic.

Poor Tony getting hurt but if Gibbs takes care of him Tony might see some of what Gibbs feels although I'm sure it won't be that simple that last line sounded ominous!

Sorry RL's been treating you badly lately I hope things get better soon.

[iantalia]

Thank you very much. I think Gibbs should take care of Tony too - let's hope he agrees!
