Paradox of Love chapter 9

[emerald_green37]

Tony looked up when Tim came in, alone, but through the window he could see Gibbs pacing back and forth. "Problem?"

"I don't know, find out in a minute." Tim left the door open behind him and they both watched as Gibbs visibly squared his shoulders and walked up to the porch. In spite of everything else going on, they were both honestly

Some days, Gibbs really needs to be smacked with a clue-by-four. Idiot. It's good they got the air mostly cleared between them though. And chores are always great decompression. But, somehow, I really doubt the 'not 24/7' thing is going to last. I have this feeling that their relationship is going to end up a solid and full-time and poly relationship in nothing flat. Love this chapter! Will beg and grovel for more!

Love and cherries,
Wingstar

Thanks. Yeah, he needed this all laid out for him. As far as full time, Gibbs is a loner by nature. He loved Shannon, but I do think part of the reason they worked so well was the fact that he was active duty. The time he had with her and Kelly was sacred and precious to him. I can see it a pretty regular thing, but the evenings he spends at home, building a boat, are necessary breaks even if he "gives up" on dating.

This is just so good! What a perfect segue into a relationship that includes all three of them. I am glad the air has been cleared and they can all move on to the next steps. Tony's clear understanding of what Tim faced on his own is wonderful. Tim confiding in Jimmy and then Jimmy telling Tony after 30 seconds of browbeating is completely in character. The rare Gibbs apology was an absolute necessity for them all to heal and move on

Thank you. I think it was a necessary step in the process and opened up the last of the secrets

Both of the boys are making sure Gibbs knows fully about the other. Tim laying down the law about the alcohol, Tony bragging about all the repairs and updates, all steps to Gibbs knowing them in a way he never has before. Now, wait until Gibbs sees that imported ax and the "doohickey" that Tim built for Tony.

It was a great birthday. Between Iron Man, Plants vs Zombies, Minecraft and Power Rangers he got pretty much everything he'd ever imagined. Now, we need more batteries. Somehow we came up one battery short, so Iron Man shoots, but he doesn't talk yet.

I am interested in how this will work out outside of their fantasies about being together. Looking forward to MORE!

Thanks, more soon. Let's see what they do.

you are beyond a brilliant writer. besides reading this i've spent at least 2 days stalking your writting in several different sites. (pretty sure it's you) lol. let me tell you i don't think i've cried so much much to suddenly laugh. your writting is AMAZING and some of your other w.i.p has left me wanting more. can't wait for more of anything you write.

*Blushes* Thank you sooo much. More soon on this and a new gen story for my bingo card.

I'm on a few sites, usually with some variation of "Emerald" FF.net is the only site that I keep my gen and adult separate and the NFA storyboard is probably where everything is. Glad to have you with us.

I like all the ground rules being on the table before they do anything. Great they cleared the air before they began anything. I'm very interested to see this dynamic - Tim and Tony are no pushovers but Gibbs is for sure the strongest personality. Should be interesting.

[emerald_green37]

I think the ground rules were a necessary step to make sure they were all on the same page. Also, Gibbs needed to see just how strong of men they are away from the job where they have to bow to his demands.
