1) Ever Onward by penumbria_fics
Artwork by Jilly_James
Genre: Gen
Crossover: Kingsman
Approximate length: 5000 words
Warnings/Spoilers:
Summary: Suddenly he wasn’t Gibbs’ partner, he wasn’t even being treated as Gibbs’ Senior Field Agent. Tony couldn’t understand what had happened and felt like he had whiplash. Their dynamic had changed and Tony refused to take it anymore. Rule Five. Tony wouldn’t waste good on Gibbs.

6) Probie No More by musichick2004
Art post by PE1804
Category: Slash
Pairing: Gibbs/McGee, Gibbs/DiNozzo
Approximate length: 16,250
Warnings/Spoilers:
Summary: McGee has had a serious crush on his boss for a long time. Since day one, really. And of course Gibbs knew, but he'd never take advantage of such a difference in power. Tim was a green probie, easily intimidated, and so very young. It wasn't appropriate.

19) Earning The Title by Marzipan77
Art post, cover and Art post, banner by Jilly_James
Category: Gen
Approximate length: 42,025
Warnings/Spoilers:
Summary: A murdered radio shock-jock and Navy lieutenant. White bread upper middles buying bombs. Weird case, weirder attitudes in the bullpen. Tony has suspicions, but up until yesterday, until Tony slid into the backseat of the agency sedan with his teammates, until they dropped their little bombshell and sent shrapnel gouging deep trenches in Tony's worldview, he'd called McGee and Ziva partners. Gibbs was another story entirely.

Category: Slash
Pairing: Gibbs/Tony - former
Approximate length: 6100
Warnings/Spoilers:
Summary: Sometimes you're given a chance to make a change and if you're smart you grab onto it with both hands and run. Tony did just that and gained far more than he had imagined. There was freedom in being able to close the distance.

Pairing: Tony/Gibbs
Approximate length: 17,650

Tony hides a painful past: he is dormant now, broken. But when Tony is late to work one morning, he is found in a catatonic state and there is a white tiger in his living room, and suddenly there is a race for Gibbs and the Sentinel Guide Council to figure out what is wrong with Tony as he steadily slips away.
