Completed Stories:
(Mostly newly-completed stories, plus some old ones if I haven't read them before.)
"Watershed" by Kichigai Hi
[PG, Tony, set during 8x23 "Swan Song", ~2,100 words]
Summary: Snippets of Tony's reflections during Swan Song. And an odd dream of a boat.
KEW note: Pick of the week. The dream imagery is beautiful, as is Tony's point of view.
"De promesas y amenazas de divorcio" by Spanish-little-girl (o_o_aurora_o_o)
[PG, Ziva/Ray, set during 8x24 "Pyramid", fanfiction.net link, ~1,750 words]
Summary: Ziva y Ray discuten la manera de que él no se vaya.
KEW note: This author comes up with a much better and cuter version of the Ziva/Ray ending scene than what actually happened in "Pyramid."
"Pyramid" by Trivette Lover Heather
[PG, ensemble, set during and post 7x24 "Pyramid"]
Quote: She eased away from the embrace and slipped a hand in his before moving towards the elevator. Only he stood still.
KEW note: This author's series of short missing scenes and tags are excellent across the board for this episode. (And though I've listed this in completed stories, a few new ones may yet pop up.)
"Spray" by EmyPink
[PG-13, Jimmy Palmer, Jimmy/Breena, set post 8x24 "Pyramid", ~900 words]
Summary: He nearly makes it into the shower before he stops.
KEW note: Jimmy deals with his torture at the hands of Cobb in this very nice story.
"The Best" by Jena Rink
[PG, Tony/Ziva, Brenda Bittner, set post 7x21 "Obsession", ~2,500 words]
Summary: He looked stung at her words almost, and she opened her mouth to tell him exactly what she felt. What made her different? Why exactly was he treading on such dangerous ground, something that had always been dangerous ground for the two of them?
KEW note: How Tony got rid of Brenda Bittner is one missing scene I always wished we'd seen. This is one author's take.
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.)

"Of Omission" by findinghero
[PG-13, McGee/OFC]

"The Impractical Heart" by Pough

"New Romantic" by Zayz
[PG, Tony/EJ, Tony/Ziva, set post 8x17 "One Last Score"]

[NC-17, past McGee/OC]
