2016 NCIS Big Bang Art Claim Round 1 ***CLOSED***
Underneath the cut are all of the summaries submitted for Art Claim.
Most artists at least provide cover art or a banner, but you are not limited to that. Art may be photoshop, illustrations, videos, etc. You should produce at least one piece of art that can be posted with, or linked to, from the story. You may certainly produce as much art as you would like. If you want to portray a scene from each chapter, favorite scenes, chapter headings, dividers, icons, wallpapers, create multiple banners, etc., you are more than welcome to do so. You may submit all or allow the Author to choose (and they may choose ALL!). Your art should be based on the fiction it is representing.
The art you submit for this challenge must be created by you. You may not submit someone else's artwork. Untouched or cropped downloaded photos are not acceptable submissions for art. Simply adding text to an otherwise untouched or cropped downloaded photo is also not acceptable. You must artistically alter the photo beyond adding text and cropping. Creating a collage is acceptable. Moderators may ask to see the originals that you worked from to determine whether your submission is acceptable or not.
Authors: If you have not yet sent in your Rough Draft, you may still send it in at any time. If it is received after 19 August, it may be included if we run a second art claim in September, or you may still post your story without art or may supply your own art. If we do not receive your rough draft and have not heard from you, we will assume you have dropped out of the challenge.
All participants should watch this community for the schedule availability post in mid-September and the posting schedule in late September. Posting to begin in October. We appreciate your participation as it is much easier to put the schedule together when we hear from all participants.

Rating: Mature
Warnings or spoilers: mention of past drug abuse, canon level-violence
Summary: Jimmy Palmer had yet to meet the new agent that replaced Ziva after she was left in Israel. When a strange case lands in their laps that is loosely connected to Spencer, Jimmy finds himself interacting more and more with the genius. Feelings start to develop between the two men, and they started to become closer. When tragedy strikes and Spencer's life is threatened can the combined efforts of the NCIS and BAU teams save not only himself but that of BAU Unit Chief Aaron Hotchner and his family? It will take their combined efforts to stop an obsessive killer before he can strike a deadly blow. Claimed by sexycazzy

Pairing(s): Gibbs/DiNozzo
Rating: NC-17
Warnings or spoilers: Torture/Violence, Language

Pairing(s): Gibbs/DiNozzo
Rating: R
Warnings or spoilers: Contains minor/mild sexual situations.
Summary: While Gibbs and his team (Stan and Vivian, with Tim on TAD) are investigating two similar murders, they find that the victims have more in common than being Marines.

Rating: NC-17

Tony embraces the role and transforms himself into one of the men being targeted. Will the serial killer take the bait? And will Gibbs be able to handle watching Tony dance sexily with random strangers, to watch him grope, be groped, and kiss them, and hearing him be intimate with them in the men's room night after night as he plays the bait? Or will he pull the plug, given his feelings for Tony? Claimed by knowmefirst
11) Kind of Blue
Pairing(s): Dwayne Pride/Tony Dinozzo Pre-slash (NCIS/NCIS:NO Crossover)
Rating: PG-13
Warnings or spoilers: Set between S1 and S2 Some spoilers for NCIS NOLA. Specifically Pride and his wife getting divorced. Warnings: discussion of consent issues, but there is no dub con or rape, vague references to Dead Air. The ending is hopeful but not HEA.

Rating: T for language, minor violence
Warnings or spoilers: Spoilers up to 13x24: Family First.

Gibbs and his team link the case to a cold file, and realize they've got a serial killer on their hands. The investigation takes multiple twists and turns, but it all somehow revolves around 'Eagle', a homeless vet and former Marine sniper, frequently seen hanging around the golf course. Is he a witness, a suspect...or the next victim? Claimed by hinky-hippo
