Gibbs/Ducky Yuletide 2009. Fiction
TITLE: Learning To Trust
AUTHOR: Ashleigh Anpilova
PAIRING: Leroy Jethro Gibbs/Donald 'Ducky' Mallard
GENRE: Slash
SUB-GENRE: First Time. AU
PROMPT: I could use many, but I'll go two: 'Lessons to be learnt' and 'Parents'.
SUMMARY: An AU story set in London, England. Ducky is a barman and he meets Jethro, who is from an extremely wealthy American family. Jethro is also a whiz kid with finances and has been sent by his father to see what life in a British finance house is like. The attraction between the two men is instantaneous and intense, however, things are not straightforward, and before there can be a future Ducky has to overcome his instinctual distrust of people.
RATING: PG-13
WORD COUNT: 37,244.
AUTHOR'S NOTE: This is cheating a wee bit, as the story was originally written for periwinkle27's BOLO #02: Gibbs/Ducky zine. The story has now timed out and as it will be new to quite a lot of people, I thought now would be a good time to share it. And it does included a Christmas chapter *g* Also, unlike my other G/D stories, this one was written (with the agreement of Periwinkle) in British English to go with the setting.
DISCLAIMER: I don't own these characters, nor am I making any money from them. I merely borrow them from time to time.
