Warnings or spoilers: Spoilers for NCIS s09e01 The Nature of the Beast and Hawaii 5-0 s01e02 Ohana
Summary:
In a world where Sentinels and Guide are known, children destined to be Sentinels and Guides come online as they go through puberty. Stories of Sentinels and Guides who come online as fully grown adults after experiencing trauma is a myth from before the dawn of time. Unfortunately for Tony, this truth doesn't apply to him and he comes online after he wakes up in a hospital, shot in the chest (thank goodness for Kevlar doing its job), with blood on his hands and no memory of what happened. And of course, the DiNozzo luck causes things to deteriorate with Gibbs and NCIS until he is forced to run far away, to Hawaii. Steve McGarrett is finally home in Hawaii having taken the Governor's offer of his own task force. What will happen when Tony encounters the task force?

Plus, there he meets someone else unexpectedly.

Word count: 42,250
Rating: NC-17
Warnings or spoilers: BDSM; Explicit sexual content; Rape/Non-con; Language
Summary:
Young submissive males are disappearing from a shady BDSM club and then later turn up dead wearing a collar with “SLAVE” on it around their necks. Undercover police detective, Tony DiNozzo is sent in as a submissive to investigate the disappearances, but then fails to make contact with his own handler. Fearing for their detective’s life, the police contact the FBI for assistance.
Dominant pair, Jethro Gibbs, Supervisory agent of NCIS, and his partner, FBI agent Tobias Fornell, are sent in to see what they can uncover. The two men soon realize that they’ve ended up in something bigger than what they could’ve imagined. An underground community where there are no women, and where submissive men are seen as mere objects, are the least of their problems. First, they have to locate the missing detective, and then, deal with an explosion that places DiNozzo’s life in even more danger.
