Weekly Recs 7/1/11
Just a wee issue this week.
Completed Stories:
(Mostly newly-completed stories, plus some old ones if I haven't read them before.)
"The Far End of the Line" by Quinndolynn
[PG, ensemble, ~6,500 words]
Summary: Even when only one of them is hurt, they all try to take care of each other.
KEW note: This is an old one, but it occurred to me that this writer's work appears thrice on my NCIS recs list, yet I'd never checked out any of the author's other stories. This was my favorite.
"Summertime" by kytivafan
[K, Ziva, 100 words]
Summary: Ziva loves summer.
KEW note: I like the normal side of Ziva.
"Hogar" by Spanish-little-girl (o_o_aurora_o_o)
[M, Ziva/Ray, ~1,250 words]
Quote: Cerrar los ojos y abandonarte. Es tan fácil que en los primeros compases te es imposible. Necesitas mirarle a cada momento, saber que es él quien te toca, quien te besa.
KEW note: I love the Ziva-isms in this piece.
"The Woods are Lovely" by DrawMeASheep *NOW COMPLETE
[PG-13, Ziva/Ray, set post 8x24 "Pyramid", ~13,500 words]
Summary: Trying to make a relationship work is hard enough when ninja spies aren't involved.
KEW note: Chapters 9 and 10 added. And Ray goes, in the end.
"Silent and Gray" by Hagar (hagar_972) *NOW COMPLETE
[PG-13, ensemble, hints of Tony/Ziva, casefic, AO3 link, Dreamwidth link, ~27,500 words]
Summary: When a US Navy lieutenant goes missing, Team Gibbs must travel to Israel to find her. The investigation into what appears to be a terrorist act is complicated by prickly Shin-Beit operatives, a curious lack of helpful intel and the impending shadow of Memorial Day.
KEW note: Chapter 5 added. This ends up in a much more emotional place than I imagined.
Works in Progress:
(Stories in this section will be carried over week to week as long as I continue to follow them or until they are completed or abandoned. Recent updates will be noted.)
"Gray Scale" by lennoxcontrary *NEW
[M, ensemble, AU from 7x24 "Rule 51"]
Summary: When the Reynosas come after Gibbs the team is forced into dark territory.
KEW note: Chapters 1-5 posted. In this alternate ending to "Rule 51", Gibbs is taken into custody by the Mexican authorities, leaving Tony to lead the charge to get him back. I got hooked around chapter 5.
"Timing in Everything" by Sashile (sashile) *UPDATED
[PG-13, ensemble, established Tony/Ziva, sequel to "Fallen Angels"]
Summary: An aircraft carrier off Bahrain is attacked during a Family Weekend and training exercise with the Israeli navy. While Ziva investigates Israel's involvement, Gibbs and Abby are called to help DiNozzo figure out what happened.
KEW note: Chapters 27 and 28 added.
