lol apparently I like using either a direct name or a pronoun to start my stories. I don't know what else to say as far as analyzing this goes. I do know that I definitely need a comma abuse support group!!
FYI I left out the drabbles- there were a bunch of them and they were all Gibbs/Ziva.
Oh well - this was fun! And I forgot all about that random Torchwood piece - fluffy goodness!!
Doing this has nudged my NCIS muse a little, she's been MIA since my pc virus incident destroyed a bunch of my in-progress updates. So maybe I can get some work done on the open fics that need finishing up.
