Thank you very much, Murgy.

I'm really pleased you enjoyed this.

What an absolutely beautiful way to start the weekend. This is lovely.

"Sixteen years ago I fell in love with you, Jethro. And as impossible as it may seem, as ridiculous as it may sound, I happen to believe that there is a certain someone for everyone. And that it doesn't matter for how short a time you know a person you can love them. As I said I know that sounds -"

He was shaking his head. "Doesn't. Know what you mean. Happened to me too."

I love Ducky's eloquent explanation and Gibbs' curt, to the point affirmation here. It's perfect. I have a huge smile on my face now.

[nakeisha]

Why, thank you so much.

I'm so chuffed this helped your weekend start well.

And thank you for letting me how much you liked that little exchange, I'm glad the difference in their approach worked so well.

I have a huge smile on my face too from your comment. Thank you.

Truly outstanding! I love the way they discover, then rediscover each other. You've made it a very convincing circumstance along the canon timeline.

Also, it's funny, but yesterday I offered a couple of prompts for Yuletide, and one of them was for first-time fic. So this is like Christmas come early! And I must say I truly adore first-time fic. I'll stop gushing now. :)

[nakeisha]

Thank you very much indeed. I'm so pleased to hear how much you enjoyed this and that you think it was convincing along the canon timeline.

I saw that - thank you for the prompts. Do you now? I'm more (as you'll no doubt have guessed) an established relationship fan. I'll have to prod my FT bunny more often.

Thank you so much.

It's amazing how well you've captured their language, the words each man would choose. The cadences of Ducky's internal monologue capture his voice so perfectly!

[nakeisha]

Thank you very much indeed.

I'm really so chuffed you think I've captured their language and words and voice so well. Thank you.

You are very welcome, honey.

It was a pleasure to write it for you.

Thank you.

*g* D is redesigning the racing blog in the evenings now...

So glad I printed it now - got the chance to curl up in bed early and just read last night, so I pulled this story out and two of the fanzines. *bliss*

Thank you so much honey, I absolutely *love* this story. *hugs tightly* I'm just sorry I didn't get to read it before now! I am glad that I was able to really sit and enjoy it without being disturbed or rushed though, so there is that. ;)

It is so very them, like We both took a sip, well I did, he took a deep swallow, and put our glasses back down. *g* I love how Ducky takes note of how Gibbs carries himself, unselfconscious etc. and you know how any description of Gibbs post-shower goes down... *giggles

[nakeisha]

Good luck to him
