Oh come on, Gibbs! Give Hotch and Gideon a chance! They'd make great drinking buddies once this whole thing is over with!!

I love the part where Abby and Garcia are gossiping about Reid and McGee!

I think Gibbs is more the solitary 'drinking in the basement with the boat' kind of guy. He'd be more likely to have elevator chats with Hotch and Gideon.

I knew I had to put that part in there somewhere. ;)

Oh, ouch! What a great cliffhanger!

I just love the tone variations in this chapter - especially that last one, where you go from giggling with Abby and Garcia to the gut-wrenching ending there.

Oooh, I can't wait for more!

I'm glad to hear you say that, because that's one of the things I've been wrestling with in this crossover. Criminal Minds is a more serious show than NCIS, understandably so, and I keep wanting to be lighthearted and funny like some of my other stories. It's good to see I've been maintaining a fair balance.

I think you're creating a lovely blend of the two. And the dichotomy just makes both tones more powerful.

Thank you! I really appreciate that. Hopefully I'll get more into the casework soon.

Mad love.

I so want more. You're doing exactly how i envisioned it when you mentioned doing the cross-over.
